/j- From the Harrisburg State Journal,
/ The Locofocos and Abolitionists.
/ We observe, by the Potter Union, that
Hon. David Wilmot addressed the Young
Men's Democratic Club of Coudersport, on
which occasion he expressed himself well sat
isfied with the nominations of Pierce and
K,ing, and declared his determination to give
.them his hearty and cordial support.—Dem
ocratic Union.
To show the beautiful consistency of the
Union, it ic&fily necessary to remark that
in the samMilmbcr of the paper contains,the
above announcement, two or three columns
, are taken up in a labored effort to prove that
, General Scott is the candidate of the Aboli
tionists. Thus while Locofocoism vilifies
General ,Scott, by attempting to fasten upon
’ him.,the stigma of Abolitionism, it hugs to its
■tboftoin such ‘ woolly headed ’ advocates the
higher law’ as the notorious David Wilmot
...—the master-spirit of Abolitionism in Penn
-sylvania—and a man whose fanatical Aboli
..tion sentiments huge rendered him odious to.
L the peace loving, Union-loving, law-abiding
people everywhere.. Wilmot, says the Union
■J is well satisfied with the nomination of
Pierce and King,’ and will give it his, hearty
and cordial support.’ Os course lie will.—
For Pierce has always sustained Wilmot and
his proviso, and been one .of- the most active
supporters of AboliSotiism in New llamp‘-
-shire. Why shoiildn’t Wilniot be ‘ well sat
isfied ’ with the nomination of a man who,
like himself, ‘loathes the Fugitive Slave law,’
who ‘hates and deplores’ the institution of
.slavery, and regards it as ‘repugnant to
Democratic \ ,
With an Abolition candidate dor President
supported by SUch notorious ‘ higher-law’
.advocates as WiJjnot add ‘the Van Bin-one,
the Union with its characteristic ilnpudence’
charges General Scott with being .the candi
date of the Abolitionists. Why Governor
Biger’s deputy secretary'of the Common
wealth, Mr. Goodrich, ail out and out wol
ly head,’ and said to be the principal editor
of that chaste sheet, the Investigator, was
recently on a mission to the North, for’ the
purpose of aiding Wilmot in ‘ regulating ’
matters in that stronghold of Abolionisiu,
and securing the ‘ woolly head vote for the
man who ‘loathes the the Fugitive Slave law.’
And yet the Union—the advocate anil apo
logist of David Wilniot—charges Abolition
ism upon General Scott and the Whig party!
• Shame, where is thy blush !’
Such is the consistency ofthese Locofocos.
Claiming to be, par excellence, the friends of
the Compromise measures,, they basely pan
der to the Abolitionists, and support for the
Presidency a man whose nomination receives
the ‘ hearty and cordial’ sanction of the
master-spirits of the Abolition party ! Thus
we find the Locofocos, the Abolitionists,-and
the Southern Disnnionists all dancing upon
one platform—all supporting a candidate
w'ho, like themselves, ‘ loathed the Fugitive
Slave law,’ and preparing for a vigorous
movement in favor of its repeal, aud the re
agitation of the exciting questions wliieh so
long disturbed the peace and harmony of the
Union, and at one time threatened its dis
memberment.
The Whigs, on-the other hand, present the
people a candidate who is known to be the
fast friend of the Union, the Constitution-;,
and the iiAws-'-a candidate wfiois free from
every taint of sectionalism—who is liberal
and national in his views—wlio knows no
East, iro West, no North, no South, nothing
but the whole wjll ‘indignantly
frown upon the first dawning of an attempt ’
to disturb the peace and endanger the safety
of the Union by the re-agitation of questions
which, happily, have been finallv.adjusted by
the adoption of the peace measures of 1850.
The explicit declarations of the Whig Na
tional Convention in favor of the Adjustment
measures, and the promise of General Scott
to uphold and enforce them, have ejected a
perfectly National basis, on which the unit
ed Whig party will stand and triumph in the
coming contest,
Adjournment op Conckess —All Sober,
r —lt is known that Congress adjourned'Tues
day last. A Washington letter writer states
that members were generally sober on the,
occasion. Wo respectfully suggest to the
public authorities throughout the country,
that a day be set apart as soon as convenient
for Thanksgiving, both for the adjournment’
and the sobriety of members.
Previous to the adjournment, the President
sent a message to the Senate, to inform them
that important matters jn connection with
the public interests required their attendance
on the Ist September, and requesting them to
meet, in Special session, at ltJo’clock on that*
.day. Besides nominations, hq probably has
other communications to*fnake to that body.
He may probably have somei, communication
t to make in regard, to foreign affairs.
One of the acts of the Senate was to,adopt,
the following resolution, offered by Mr. James

Resolved, That a select committee, to con
sist of flye members, be appointed by the
President protemvore, who shall be empower
ed to sit during the recess, at such times arid
places as they may doom necessary, and to
examine, under oath, sucji persons as may be
required, and generally to investigate the
mode and manner-of importations of merchag-.
dize into the United States, with a view of
ascertaining whether any and what frauds
have been committed or practised against the
revenue laws of the United States; and that
said committee make report of their proceed

The News frein Cuba.
To many of our readers the news from Cuba
of the suppression of “The Voice of the Peo
ple,” and die imprisonment of its editors and’
publishers, will cause a pang of regret, ‘l'he
few issues of that little sheet has produced a
profound sensation in the Inland —-bad revived
the hopes of the patriots, and struck terror to
the souls of the craven-hearted minions of
Spanish power, by whom they are oppressed.
A free press and Spanish despotism could not
exist together on the same Island. Ilence
the restless _ vljgikmce of the government to
hupt out the maghziife of free opinions, and
to crush those wjjo had the hardihood thus
to brave its despotic power. By a system
of espionage and bribery-*—such as exists in
no other -civilized land—the government have
succeeded in detecting the parties implicated
in the publication of the paper which has
given the lie to the pretended trauquility of
the “ever faithful Isle.” They are thrown
into Spanish dungeons, and with hundreds
of others, men and women, will be made the
victims of Spanish vengeance. If there ever
have been any reasonaule grounds for doub
, ting the'distfontent of the people of Cuba, or
~of their determination with God’s help, to
free themselves from tyranny by which their
lovely Island is oppressed, it is time that
these doubts were dissipated. The late move
ement shows the desperate determination of
the people. The revolutionary spirit is rife
throughout the Island ; and though the patri
ots may fill the dungeons, and though they are
brought to the garrotte by hundreds, still
will the work of revolution go on, until the
day of triumph, and perhaps of retribution. —

Speech of Mr. Stephens.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of
last week contains the outlines of a speech
delivered by the Hon. A. H. Stephens latelv
at Crawfordville; his home. The following
extracts are sufficient to explain his position
in regard to the Presidency. He said.
“There never had been so general dissatis
faction among all classes of people, both
North and South, as was produced by the
action o! the two National Conventions.
’1 his complaint wasTieard in Massachusetts,
Ne.w-York, Pennsylvania, N. Carolina, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Texas and other states.
This discontentment arose, in part, from the
manner in which those nominations were made,
and the principles by which the two great
parties (as they are called) are proposed to be
kept up. These organizations, still preser
ving their ancient names, are entirely desti
tute of all unity in sentiment or principle
upon cither the domestic or foreign policy of
the Government. The Democratic Con
vention, by which Gen. Piefce was nomina
ted, . was composed of Freesoilers, Aboli
tionists, Secessionists Tariff men and Anti
Tariff men, Internal Improvement men and
Anti-Internal Improvement men, the advo
cates of Intervention and Non-Intervention—
politicians of every shade and complexion
found a welcome to thismongrel association.
Their object was power and office, and they
cared noticing for principle. With a body
thus composed, it cannot be a matter of much
surprise that all the a 1 Jest and best statesmen
ol'the party should be sacrificed and set
aside, while some unknown, unexpected, hut
thought to be available individual, should be
taken up sis the instrument of the party.
The rt stilt is known. A gentleman \Vas
nominated and is now a prominent candi
date for the first office In the world, who was
unknown to nine teuths ofthe American peo
ple, and, whose public services did not,entitle
him to the position. Mr. Stephens would
say nothing in disparagement ofGen. Pierce.
As for as he knew, he was a man of fair
ability, a lawyer, of some eminence in his
own state, and that was all that could be
said of him. He had never given the coun
try any evidence of the possession of those
high qualities, or that long expei iance in pub
lic affairs, which should entitle a man to be
placed in the high and responsible office of
Chief Magistrate of this great Republic.
IV’ had nothing to except from the election
of,Gem Fierce, except the bringing into pow
er of a class of inch whose principles would
be hostile to the true interest of the poople.
fje learnt that the advocates of Kossuth,
Intervention and Young American Progress
W ould lead the country to war and distinc
tion, under the banner of that party,
Mr. Stephens next gave hie reasons wfiy
he could not support Gen. Scott, and pro
ceeded :
Under these circumstances, Mr. S. then
said—he could not, and would not, support
the nominees of either of these Conventions,
and if no other candidate had been presented
to the people of Georgia, lie would hot have
gtihe to the polls. But it was known that
the names of Daniel Webster and Charles J.
Jenkins, had been presented to the ‘indepen
dent voters of the State. To that ticket he
should give a cordial and willing support.
Upon the character and services of these
men, he dwelt at considerable length.
• They were both tried anil faithful public
servants. Mr. Webster was identified with
the passage of the Compromise. He was one
of those gentlemen at the North, who stood
up for die right against the prjudices of his
otvn section. For this he had been sacrificed
hy.the Northland for this, as a southern man
and an American, lie, Mr. Stephens, wished
to do dm honor. He alluded to the’ state of
things-in the country, when Mr. Webster
made his great 7th of March speech. Tliere
was no general yielding at the North upon
the Wihnot proviso until that speech .was
made. He read from- the Congressional
Globe, Mr. Webster’s vote against the Wil
mot Provisp, when it was offeredby Sew ard,,
to the territorial lulls, when even Douglass
had-voted for it. He read 4 also Mr. Web
ster’* vote on Mr. Soule’s amendment, in
these words: ‘ And when the said territory,
or any’ portion of the same, shall be-admitted
as a State, it shall be received into the U\iion
with or without slavery, as their Constitution
may prescribe at the time of their admis
sion.’ ‘ i
For tiffs proposition, ,Mr. Webster had vo
ted, and upon the adoption of that ameiuN
merit the great principle of ‘the Compromise
was cAraiod,’ and from that day to this, Mr.
Webster hnif'tnkdn no steps backwards. —
Mr Stephens paid an eloquent tribute to the
character and conduct of Mr. Webster, on
that and other important occasions, and con
cluded by recommending him and Mr. Jen
kins to those who heard him, for their suffra
ges- _
Democratic Inconsistency.
Two months ago only, the congregated
wisdom of the American Democracy, met in
Baltimore and constructed a Platform of prin
ciples, upon which to fight the Presidential
battle. In that Platform they coudemn the
principle of distributing the Public Lands a
mong the States, and yet, the Democratic
House of Representatives, turned right nbout
and passed Bennett’s Bill, distributing large
quantities of land to different States, giving
Tennessee, very properly, and gloriously, one
■ million of acres!
Another article of faith in that Platform is,
an anti-internal Improvement article, and
still, a Democratic Senate and House, turn
about and make lnrge and liberal appropria
tions to aid different States in carrying out
great schemes of Internal Improvements!—
Last of all, a Democratic House, has passed
a bill appropriating a million and a half for
Rivers and Harbors. This is ull right, and
sound Whig legislation, but it looks very in
consistent in the Democrats. We excuse
them on the ground, that as Pierce has al
ways gone against these sound and patriotic
pleasures, they wish to attone for his sins by
going for them. The whole affair is worthy
of consideration.

The Turpcminc Business in Georgia.
’ We have had the pleasure of an inter
view with Rioiiar Coodell, Esq., formerly
of North Carolina,-lmt now of Mclntosh conn
ty, in this State. He has been engaged, for
some time, in the production of turpentine on
the Altanuiha, ten miles above Darien. The
result of his experiment, lie says, has convin
ced him that the pines of Georgia are equal
to those ot North Carolina in every particu
lar- They will yield as much turpentine,
per dip, and as the season is longer, they give
an extra dip per year, lu North Carolina
the turpentine gatherer* calculate upon four
to five dips in the season, yielding each from
40 to 45 barrels to the hand. In Georgia Mr.
Coodell has hail from five to six dips, rang
ing from 40 to 50 barrels to the hand. The
tarpeptirfe is also quite equal in quality. It
produces from 0 to 7 gallons of spirits to the
barrel, when carefully distilled, and the rosin
brings as high a price in New York as any
other article offered iu the market.
Mr. Coodei-l spoke of the influence of the
tar and turpentine business inbulldiiigup cities.
Only a few years ago, Wilmington, in North
Carolina, was but little more prosperous than
Darien now is. The turpentine business gave
her the first impulse onward, -List ill etdS
‘were established. Capitalists invested their
means in them. Wilmiuglon soon became’
a depot.for naval stores —her'shipping was
increased, arid now she has a population of
nearly twelve thousand! The town of Wash
ington, North Carolina, had population of
five thousand, supported formerly of the same
trade. A single mCreantilb house there, has
been known to purchase eleven hundred bar
rels of crude turpentine, per day, from carls,
which carried from one to fqur’barrels each!
\\ hat has been done in-North Carolina, Mr.
CoGDni.p say§j can he Jmie in Georgia. The
Cut oriiia. pines are comparatively exhausted.
They no longer yield either tjie quantity,
or the quality, formerly obtained. Hence the
men who lfave been engaged in the business,
( arp looking to Georgia. Some five or six’ of
them bays already purchased hinds on the
Altamaha, and will commence operations du
ring the coming Autumn. These willbeforco
enough employed there to produce from 10,-
000 to 12,000 barrels the next year. At pre
sent rates, this would sell at about §OO,OOO.
The question now is,—will the people of
Georgia embark in the enterprise—will the
merchants of Savannah imfke the necessary
effort to tarn this trade to their own seaport
—will parties here enter into the limbless of
distilling—so as to create a market at this
point? At present the products of this labor
have to he shipped direct to New York, and
a considerable portion of the profits and com
missions are thus lost to the -State.
VVeoall especial attention to this matter,
and trust that some of our enterprising
merchants will give it more mature considera
tion. It is true, tin* trade is nt present in ils
infancy. If properly cherished and pursued,
however, there is no reason why it should not,
as in Carolina, amount ultimately to millions
per annum. It may he expanded into a di
rect trade with Europe, because freights me
as cheap, and often cheaper hence, to Liver
pool than from New York.
W e intend to resumo this subject again.—
Georgia, in her almost boundless forests of
pines, lms a mine of gold, richer and more re
liable than the pincers of California. YV e
have heretofore alluded to the lumber business
in the same connection. We have no doubt
that persons are now living, who will yet see
the pine barrens of our State sell for ten times
their present value. They are capable of pro
ducing enough naval stores alone, to support
a seaport the size of Savannah. —Savannah

IIonTTI. 11. Stephens.
A statement is going the rounds of the pn
pers that this gentleman had recently declar
ed in favor of General -Scott, and that 1 0
had pledged his efforts to promote the elec
tion of the regular Whig nominee. We doubt,
ed the truth ol the statement, and did not give
it in our synopsis of the political news ot the
day. The following, from the Atl mta Intel
ligencer of Thuisday, will Inform our readers
of the pn.ition at present occupied by Mr.
Snsrunxs. The Intelligencer says:
Hon. A. 11. Stephens addressed n large con.
course of people at Parr’s Hall, in this city,
on Tuesday night last, on the political ques
tions of the day, taking occasion to define
very explicitly his own position on the prert
dential issues. He declared his opinion, in
strong terms, that Gen. Scott ought to bede
(• .::•■<!—i >'i). Pierce ought not to be elected
Daub 1 Webster ought to lie elected.
The strength of his speech was directed
mainly against the Whig and Democratic
nominating eniiveptions, and he declared his
m.erasing hostility to nII liationdl conventions
in which northern free-soilers are allowed to
take part. He was in favor of running an in
dependent candidate and organizing an inde
pendent party, from which the abolition and
free-soil element should be excluded.
Yellow Fever in Charleston. —The
Augusta Constitutionalist of yesterday says—
The silence of the Charleston Press on the
subject ofthe Yellow Fever there—or rather
their want of candor and explicitness as to
the extent of the evil, is doing their city much
more injury than the whole truth, fully stated,
however had it may be, can possibly do.
The most exaggerated fears are entertained
by the outside public and the most extrava
gant stories are in circulation, as to the num
ber of cases and of deaths daily occurring.
One traveller who came from Charleston on
Saturday or Sunday last, stated that there
were when he left there some eighty* cases
iu the city hospital, and that this was proba
bly only one-fourth of the entire number in the
city. We state this, not as believing it to he
truth ; but to show to our Charleston friends
that while they are endeavoring to keep dark,
others are spreading false light through the
country.
It Mill be noticed by the report of the
Charleston l ity Register, published by us
yesterday, that only thirteen deaths were re
ported from the 2t)th ult., to 4th inst. by Yel
low Fever. This may he true, but it would
be a great relief to all who feel an interest in
that City, to have a daily report of the cases
occurring, as also the deaths.
