han declined 1-16 @ |d; and at the
close of the market, prices were even a
trifle lower, and a dull feeling prevailed.
The sales comprise 54,000 bales during

and exporters 4000 bales,leaving 45,000
bales of all descriptions to the trade.

London Money Market. —There was
great alarm prevailing in commercial
circles, and a panic anticipated in con
sequence of the Bank of England having

General Intelligence,
The Allies have organized a concentric
advance from Eupatoria, Baidar, Kertcli
and Kenbaum, in order to surround aud
cut off the Russian forces. Kenbaum is
an important position North of the Du
eiper and has been captured by the allies.
Taman and Phanayona, on the straits of
Kertcli, had been destroyed. The ad
vance posts of the Allies were within five
leagues of Batski Sarai. The Russians
were returning, Liprandi intending to de
fend the line of the Bel bee, where a bat
tle was anticipated. The north side of
Sebastopol had bceu placed in a state to
support a siege. The restrictive meas
ures of the Bank of Franco were telling
on almost every branch dorado. The

tion, which demonstrates V’ st . c °!V * v .
tho truth of tho declany*? 11 ’ . vlz: 1 iat
Pierce owes his election tt foreign votes.
The administration presst® aUI ot lcr
opponents of our doctrines i ave? 011 \ a ‘
nous occasion's, sought to narrate tliel
importance of tho foreign vot
our elections, and have essayed to proye
that such votes do not, to any perceiv
able extent, to control our elections, be
cause it is scattered and diffused through
out the country. It is not denied by
our opponents, that almost tho entire
foreign vote is cast 011 the same side.—
We shall endeavor to demonstrate, by
calculations and facts which cannot be
controverted, that the foreign popula
tion have now the power to decide the
election of President of the U. States,
in any contest between tiie two parlies,
whigs and democrats, when the old po
litical lines are drawn between these par
ties.
We may here, in advance of exhibit
ing our figures, advert to the well known
fact, that it was considered extremely
doubtful on which side the foreign votes
would be cast, as between Gen. Pierce
and Scott, in 1852, until within a very
few days of the election. It is even said
and believed that negotiations were car
ried on for some time between certain
distinguished emissaries of a “higher
power” and the recognized friends of
the rival candidates, touching the con
sideration or value of the foreign vote,
nnd that the results of these negotia
tions are too manifest not to he well un
derstood by all who pay attention to tlie
political hucksterings of corrupt parti
sans.
If it be true, as we think we shall de
monstrate, that the foreign voters in our
country can, by acting in conceit, con
trol our Presidential elections; and if it
l>e true, as we have been led to believe,
that nearly all the foreign vote can be
controlled by a “ higher law” influence,
surely the patriotic of all parties wilj
unite with 11s in our efforts to defeat the
machinations of demagogues who may
hereafter seek to obtain political place
and power by moans of such influences!
Without further allusion to this point,
now, wo shall present our figures. We
shall exhibit tho statistics of fourteen
States in this connection, whose aggre
gate electoral vote was one hundred and
fifty-two at the late election, that num
ber being two more than a majority of
tho whole electoral vote cast for Presi
dent. We have made our calculations
on the usual bases, that one-seventh of
tlie general population of the States are
voters. We doubt not that one-fifth of
the foreign population are voters, be
cause there is a smaller proportion of
adult females and of children among
them than in tho same number of native
born population. Still, we adhere to
the usual basis of calculation.
In California, where there arc seven
teen males to one female, and but few
children, we assume that about one half
of tho whole foreign population are vo
ters, and we have estimated the foreign
vote at 10,000, in a foreign population
of 21,628 persons. On these principles
we now present our statistics, tabpn
from tho census of 1850, aud the Amer
ican Almanac for 1854:
rOR’M- FOR’n. FIKRCE’ KI.KC. Vt

Missouri 76,570 10,933 7,698 9
Illinois 111.860 15,980 15.653 11
Ohio 218.099 31,157 16.694 24
Wisconsin 119,471

Rhode Island’ ... 23,832 3.404 1.109 4

Delaware 4.213 749 123 3
New Jersey 49,894 8,543 5, <49 7
California’ 21,628 10,000 5.095 4
258,558 120,004 152
It is thus demonstrated, that in each
of these fourteen States the foreign vote
was larger than the majority given lor
Gen Pierce; and it is also demonstrated
that the aggregate foreign vote of these
fourteen States is more than twice tho
whole number of the aggregate of Gen.
Pierce’s majorities in said States. If
even one-half of the foreign vote had
been given to Gen. Scott, he would have
been elected instead of Gen. Pierce.
In North Carolina, too, tfrcr foreign
vote was 366, and Gen. Pierce’s majori
ty’ but 686; so that if Scott instead of
Pierce had received this foreign vote, he
would have received the electoral vote
of North Carolina by a majority of one
hundred and forty-six votes.
It is therefore, clear, beyond contro
versy, that if Gen. Scott had bargained
and obtained that portion of the for
eign vote which, it is assumed, was un
derUhe influence of a higher law power,
he would now, instead of Gen. Pierce,
have been President of the United States.
But passing over this consideration, we
ask it'it be not alarming to reflect that
our Presidential elections are thus dis
tinctly shovwj to bo under the control of
the naturalised citizens of the United
States ! \\ e trust our readers will scru
tinize, and then ponder upon these sta
ris ics.
The time/is not distant when even
Virginia, J>lv the increase of foreign votes
will be uiider their influence and control
if thertfontests in that State continue to
be carried on between tlie former rival
parities, and if a Presidential candidate
[jam be found who will place tho neces
sary number of secretaryships and for
eign missions at tlie disposal of the
“ higher law’” power!
V e might proceed an>i construct a
table similar to the above, including all
the States showing the effect of the for
eign vote at the last Presidential elec
tion ; but a previous table which exhib
its tlie relative strength of the foreign
and native, contains all tho information
necessary to a full and thorough know
ledge of the political power of the pre
sent foreign population of this country.

Genuine Arabian Liniment
IS a most extraordinary medicine, the truth
of which is placed beyond doubt by the
vast sales of the article and the many cures
being daily performed by it, which previous
ly had resisted all other medicines and the
skill of the best physicians in the world. It
is composed of balms, extracts and gums pe
culiar to Arabia—possessing in a concentrated
form, all their stimulating, anodyne, penctra
riug, unctions and revulsive properties, and
t which, ages ago were used by the
of the Desert,” with such miraculous

Look out for Counterfeits! —The public are
cautioned against, another eountertoit which
has lately made its appearance, called W. B.
Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most danger
ous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counter
feit exists, and they will perhaps only discov
er their error when the spurious mixture Ims
wrought its evil effects.

by 11. G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor

A GOOD COMPARISON.
The Rev. William Roulatt, a velj known
Methodist clergyman, residing at Naples,
draws the following amusing but apt compar
ison between Dr. M’Lane’s celebrated Vermi
fuge and a ferret:
“ A ferret, when placed at the entrance of
a rat-hole, enters the aperture, travels about
the passage, seizes upon the rat, exterminates
his existence, and draws tlie animal’s defunct
carcass to the light. And in like manner
have 1 found Dr, M'Thanes American Vermi
fuge to operate upon worms, those dreadful
ami dangerous tormentors of children. This
remedy, tike the ferret, enters the aperture of
the mouth, travels down the gullet, hunts
round the stomach, lays hold of the worms,
shakes the life out of the reptiles, sweeps
clean their den, and carries their carcasses
clear out of the system- This, at least, has
been the effect of the Vermifuge upon my
children.”
A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Briggs,
adopts the simile of the reverend certitier,
thus both giving their most unequivocal ap
proval of this great specific, after having wit
nessed its operation upon their own children.
Let others try it, and be satisfied.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for
“ Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge,” and
take none else. All other Vermifuges, in
comparison, are worthless. Dr. M’Lnne’s Vet -
mifuge, also his Celebrated Liver Pills, can
now he hal at. all respectable Drug Stores in
the United States and Canada.

RANDALL & MERGER'S
COTTOIi SEED DRILL.
VLL Planters have realized tlie want of a
. inaeliine to drill Cotton Seed with regu
larity and certainty. One that would o]erate
equally well in every kind of land, and at
the smite time he so simple in construe!ion
and operation that it could he used hy ne
groes without liability of getting out of order.
A Drill which we think possesses all these
qualities, we now offer to the planting
community. After a thorough trial for the
last two years in different hands on all kinds
of land, we would state some of the advan
tages to be derived from their use.
Ist. The saving of seed, which will amount,
to enough in planting one hundred acres, to
pay for the machine.
2nd. The saving of labor in planting, one
horse and hand only being required to open
the furrow, drop the seed and cover Hum **v j
on to nine acres per day.
3rd. The great, saving of labor in choppm;! I
out, the seed being deposited in a line • j
after mint her:
4tli. The great saving in subsequent, hoe
work, owing t* the fact, that any good plow
hand can, in siding, cover all the first crop of
grass in the drill, however small the cotton
nmy be, without, injuring the stand.
These advantages all fanners w ill appreci
ate; and below wo give some certificates,
from which the public .con learn how DriiL
are appreciated by gentlemen of the first
standing in our section of the State—all prac
tical fanners who have thoroughly tested
them, and are consequently fully competent
to decide oil their merits.
Certificates*
This is to certify that I planted one hun
dred and sixty acres of cotton with Randall
and Mercer’s Planters, and 1 consider them
superior to any thing of the kind 1 have ever
seen or tried. The saving of seed alone would
pay for the machines in a season or two,
and 1 think a hand can do one third more
hoeing than lie could in cotton planted the
other way. & L. BARBKR.
Messrs. Randall A Mercer. —Gentlemen:
In reply to yours of this date, I can say with
satisfaction, that 1 have used your Cotton
Seed Drills, on the farm of D. A. Vnson, Esq.,
with great success. I consider them to be of
great value. They are a saving of about one
third of the labor of cultivation, about two
to three bushels of seed t o the aero in plant
ing, and a great saving of labor in planting,
us they open the furrow, and drop and cover
tlie seed with one horse nnd hand. 1 think
them worth one hundred dollars apiece to
any planter that plants full crops of cotton.
As for myself, 1 would not plant a crop of
cotton without them for no consideration in
the bounds of reason.
Yours, very respectfully,
A. J. BARKSDALE.
Lee county, Go., July 12,1855.
I have used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton Plan
ter two seasons, and consider them of great
value to the farmer. 1 save seed enough
each year to pay for the Planters, then I save
at least one third the labor of cultivation, as
the cotton is sowed in so narrow a line that
with good plowing there is but. little hoc
work needed. There is also a saving of hands
and horses in planting. 1 should say they
were worth one hundred dollars each, and
recommend every fanner to use them.
S. D. McLENDON.
Lee county, Ga., July 19, 1855.
I have been overseeing for Mr. S. D.
McLendon the present year, and fully concur
in his statement above.
DAVISSON WARREN.
6 Messrs. Ranpai.l tt Mercer. —Gentlemen :
In reply to yours I will only say 1 have used
three of your Cotton Seed Drills, and consider
them of great value, from the fact that in the
use of them I saved from two to three bushels
of seed to each acre planted, and at least one
third of the labor of cultivation, not requir
ing one half as much hoe work ns the old
way of planting—also, a considerable saving
in the labor of planting. 1 never expect to
plant cotton without them if I con get them
at any prieo. 1 have planted eight acres per
day to each drill. They are simple—cosily
managed, and there is no difficulty about
getting n good stand. Very respectfully,
W. 11. HAMRK'K.

Col. J. H. Watson, Dear Sir: I can recom
mend your Cotton Planter Drill in the highest
terms. 1 have tried them on all my lands
except new ground, and I think they will do
in that; they will do in a mountainous coun
try as well as in o level. If I had not bought,
1 would travel to your shop, which is seven
ty-five miles, and pay fifty dollars apiece for
tnem. It. saves one-third of the work, one
hand can plant ns much as two, and one hand
can chop out one aero after a common plow.
K. BRASWELL.
Dougherty County, Gn., July 14,1855.
J. 11. Watson—Sir: this is to certify that I
liave used Randall A Mercer’s Cotton Seed
Drill, of your manufacture, and am eo well
pleased with them that. I would recommend
all planters who have not tried them, to give
them a fuir trial. Where the drills are used
here is a great deal of labor saved iu culti-
vating n prop, owing to its bring so uniform
in the drill, tbo plowing run lir done much
brltrr. and with greater despatch, consequent
ly tbr hoe work is lighter, as good ploughing
supersedes the necessity of a great deal of
hard hoeing. JNO. BARKSDALE.
This is to certify that I used one of
Ruudnll A Mercer’s Cotton Seed Drills Inst
year in planting my crop, and was well pleas
ed. 1 have used five of them the present year,
planting iny entire crop, and am still better
pleased. There is a saving of between two
nnd three bushels of seed to the Herein plant
ing: besides one horse and one hand with
these drills one does the work of three hands
ami two horses. Then there is a saving of
one-third the hoe work, the Cotton being in
so straight and narrow a row. 1 consider
them worth one hundred dollars each to
planter, and recommend till to purchase and
use them
WM. IJ. OWENS.

Mes-r-. Uaxi.au. v. jMrater.r.—ln reply lo
yours of til,’ nth iust., in reference to your
I Cotton Seed Drill, ! am happy to say that af
ter planting a portion of my present crop in
the old way, I was enabled to obtain one of
your drills, with which 1 finished. It is the
desideratum and long sought after.
Many and varied have been tlte attempts of
intelligent minds to attain what you have *
complo-lmd, t.or withoniv period str'ees-.
This leaves nothing to he'd, ind in a cotton
drill. It deposits the seed uniformly and
continuously in a straight and narrow line a
you wish, saves about otto half the labor in
planting, and about one third of the hoe work
til cultivation. It is almost needless to add
that 1 am delighted with your drill.
Yours respectfully, * ,1. E. MERCER.
Lee county, Go., August 10th, 1850.
Messrs. Il.vNiMt.t, A Mintern—Gentlemen: l
used one of your Cot!..: Seed Drills the past
spring, and i le.-i mnr fmd paid for what it
cost me. To give your drill a fair trial, 1
planted every other row with the Drill, and
the intervening rows I planted as well as ev
er cotton was planted before your Drill come
into use. The result was, that in tho row I
planted with your Drill 1 got n more perfect
stand, nnd 1 think it grew off much better,
besides I realized a greater saving in the la
bor of working over my cotton the two first
times. I shall continue to ,use them ns long
as I plant cotton. Yours, Ac.

Messrs. It ant. at.i it M kucet.— Gentlemen: I
lmve Used eight of your Cotton Seed Drills
manufactured by ,1. 11. Watson, mi Col. .1.
Bond’s Fowltown plantation. 1 am much
pleased with them, having realized great snv
ing ot seed, of labor of planting and chopping
out, and tin hands at the first siding could
go over at least one-third more in a day, and
do better work than in cotton planted in tho
best way 1 could plant with a colter nnd
block. 1 lmve no hesitntion in giving it
as my opinion, that in the use of your Drills
there is a saving of one-third of tiie Inhor of
cultivating a cot ton crop. Col. Bond is pleased
with them, nnd will continue their use.
Yours respectfully, JAMES CUEEK.
Fowltown, Gn., July Bill, 1855.
This is to certify that 1 have used two of
Randall it Mercer’s Cotton Planters, anil
have no hesitation in saying that they will
do. The saving of labor in plnnting is an
object, the saving of seed is an object; nnd
the cotton stands in such a narrow drill that
it may almost he kept clean without the hops.
There is nothing to equal them in planting
cotton. WM. B. REYNOLDS.’

I have used Randall it Merecr’s Cotton
Seed Drill, which I purchased of Col. ,1. 11.

now in use. lam satisfied there is a great
saving in seed, nnd a greater saving in work.
I am fully satisfied there is one-third of the
hoe work saved. Try them, and any reason
able man will he satisfied they nrc worth
more than three limes the price they are sold
for. .rHILIP WEST.
