We can assure him that the proof was carefully read and corrected by us , and handed over to the compositor, who failed to do his duty in the premises. . For this, we can assign no other reason than laziness and ill temper combined. _ Letter of Thontw. We publish the letter of Hon. T. W. Ihom as, declining to accept the nomination of Elec tor for the Bth Congressional Dktrict, on the Democratic ticket, for personal, not political reasons. The letter, which we take from the « (Juns.nationalist & Republic,” is an admira ble one, every way worthy of the patriot and good citizen. Judge Thomas’ place on the ticket will c supplied by another of Georgia’s patriotic and talented sons, A. E.-Walker, Esq , of Rich mond county, who was nominated by the Con vention at Milledgeville as the alternate of the Judge. The Everlasting “Ten o’clock Law’’ * To Mr. Bell we surrender again onr editorial column. For this, doubtless, many of our readers will censure us, as they perfer, in a crisis like the present, political, rather than disquistions on Temperance, and temperance laws. We trust, however, that this will be the last of this controversy, so far at least as our paper is concerned. If correctly informed, our City Council disposed of this subject, on Friday Night last, by laying the petition to revive the obnoxious law on the table til 1 March next. If so, let it rest till then for the sake of peace ; or if the question must be dis cussed in the mean time, let it be discussed by its advocates in the Temperance Newspapers of the State. We publish, however, Mr. Bell’s article—we beg the Intelligencer’s pardon— we publish Mr. Bell’s "jumble" (our improved style we hope will please) trusting that it will be the last, on this subject, that will be address ed to our readers. THE EXAM.LNER FOR THE CAMPAIGN. We notice that our cotemporaries of the Press every where are prepared to tarnish the papers to the people for the Campaign, so in at one, and some at another price. ■ Now, for the matter of fifty cents, we do no care to be put to the trouble of mailing the “ Examiner,” and of performing various other duties that devolve upon us—in consequence thereof. Our intention is to make the “WEEK LY EXAMINER,” an interesting and as far as our ability enables us to do so, a valuable political journal, both for and after the Presi dential Campaign. And as our subscription price is only ONE DOLLAR per annum, payable in advance, it will not be sent to any one who does r°t subscribe for the year. To this, however, we are willing to make this exception. Where a club of twenty, or even ten, desire to have the pnper for six months, we will send it to them upon the re ceipt of fifty cents for each copy. But we will not do this save to clubs. Our circulation is already a large one, and is daily increasing. To extend it, will still be, with us, an untiring effort. But we must do this upon the terms specified above or not at all. Send us, therefore, one dollar, and the * Weekly Examiner ” will be sent to you for vulvemonths from the date of its receipt. This, we think, is a better arrangement, than any one we can propose, to the public. The -• Daily Examiner ” we will furnish to subscribers, for three, six, nine, or twelve months, at the rate of five dollars per annum. Our friends at a distance, who tuke an interest in the political contest now going on, would do well to order the “ Daily Examiner ” as in it, they will not only receive the earliest commer cial, but the earliest political intelligence. It we trust, will prove particularly valuable to those who will be forced upon the stump during as well as to all who take an active part in the canvass. Millard Fillmore. To this gentleman s record ou slavery it is important, at the* present awful crisis, that the people of the South should pay due attention. There is not a man in Georgia who does not know that when Gen. Taylor was nominated as the Whu candidate for the Presidency, great doubt was entertained os to Mr. Fillmore’s fit ness for the second office, on account of his an ti-slavery record. Indeed, that record was pro duced, in part upon him, and many, very many : Southern whies hesitated long, ere they could ' give in to his support. The great popularity, j however, of the hero of Monterey. Buena Vista. I and other battle fields, carried everything be-1 fore, and we verily believe that had Millard Fill- ; more’s record been ten times worse than it re- j ally was it would not have changed the result ; <sTdic.Presidential race, so great was the pop.; ularity oF’tt'ewJTiivlor and so unbounded was i the confide- e i< poseff hy-thc South in him as a Southern mao, and slaveholder. The feeble I attempt of Mr. Fillmore toexplaln. was received iat the South for just what it then, and what it; uow worth; and, as but UtUeheed was given j to the solemn warning of a few years before— wKu, by an act of Providence, the mantle of the Chief Magistrate of this Union, fell upon the shouldersofa Vice President—Mr. Fillmore was elected by the aid of Southern, as well as Northern votes. The record was forgotten, to be revived now, when developments every day go to prove that it ought not to have been passed by, so heedlessly, eight years ago. The eclat with which the Compromise Meas ures were received and Mr. Fillmore’s approval of them, gave him some popularity in the South. Even his reluctance to sign and con stitutional objections to the fugitive slave law, were forgotten in the fact that he did sign it and were it not that the great doctrine of “Non-Intervention” embraced in the Kansas Nebraska bill, makes the issue of slavery or no slavery, now a direct and only one, all oth ers being mere side issues, it is more than prob able that Mr. Fillmore’s abolilition record, would not call from the press of the South any animadversions. But by a portion of the American party of the North—that portion of it which is thoroughly abolitionized —he is put in nomination for the Presidency. Nay, more than this, he accepts that nomination, and wbat is worse, he adopts their platform. Regareless, apparently, of the interests and honor of the South, while they denounce the party at the North whose candidate Mr. Fillmore is, the “ American party ” of Georgia nominate him also, despite his previous, and zealously support him, despite his late record. To the former let us look to day, leaving the latter for to morrow’s issue. Mr. Fillmore voted while in Congress, as the Journals will show : “To declared slaves free who had gone to sea with the consent of their masters, and to protect them in their freedom. To repeal all lawsand constitutional provis ions by which the Federal Government is bound to protect the institution of slavery. Against the admission of any new State into the Union, whose Constitution at all tolerates slavery. Against the unexation of Texas, solely on the ground that slavery existed there. To abolish slavery in the District of Colum bia, though the whole people of the District cheerished the institution, and never petitioned for its abolition. To prohibit the buying and selling of slaves in the District, and other Territories of the Union. He supported, by his vote, petitions to Con gress to repeal the act of the Territory of Florida, to prevent m igration of free negroes to the Territitory. He voted in favor of petitions to naturalize AND MAKE AMERICAN CITIZENS OF NEGROES FROM EVERY QUARTER OF THE EARTH! He voted in favor of a petition to receive negro ambassadors from the Black Republic of Hayti.” The foregoing, is only a partial record of Mr. Fillmore’s abolition votes, but they are indica tive of what his feelings were on the subject oi slavery. What they now are, the people of the South cun easily tell, when they hear him declaring that he is for a retraction of the Missouri Compromise line, and is opposed to the Kansas Nebraska bill—when they see him at the head of a Northern party, whose de signs are identical with those of the Black Re publicans, and whose aim will never be attained until Southern slavery ceases to exist, or the Union be dissolved. Such is the position of Mr. Fillmore’s party at the North ; what it is at the South we leave the “ American party ” to explain. For the Examiner. Truth Vindicated. The Intelligencer of this morning, in reply to my article in the Examiner of Saturday, in favor of oksing grogshops at the hour of 10 o’clock, at night, in my opinion, has failed to answer my argument, or to show any so id rea son against the law. Inasmuch, however, as an assertion is made, which, if unnoticed, may pass as argument, I hope 1 will not be consid ered obtrusive iu fbbuking wbat is deemed a specious error dangerous in its insiduousattack, upon the very fortress of virtue and safety. I'Le full extent of the doctrine advocated by the writer of the Editorial, comprehends a premise false in the very nature of uiau's con stitution —the proposition that he should be left to take care of himself. The infant, endowed with certa n peculiar faculties susceptible of impression reflected upon its being from whatever influences may be brought to bear upon it, to a very large degree, is modified and moulded by those influ ences into a moral conformation therewith; hence the absolute necessity of withdrawing vicious circumstances, and substituting those salutary influences which universal experience demonstrates to be in harmony with the divine laws of human nature. Tho rule applies with equal force to the youth or to the man, whose vitiated appetite renders him unqualified to govern himself as a rational being. Could we trace the past history of those who tail victims to dissipation and fully, iu the thousand untoward incidents and bane ful influences surrounding them from their early childhood, (the very impress of which is stamp ed upon their being) we would often drop the tear of commiseration and sympathy, where we too rashly to pronounce condemnation and death. “Mau’s iuhumanity to man, makes Countless thousands mourn.” In view of the premises, does it uot become the duty of society, to withdraw, or to remove' from its midst, grogshops, which universal ex perience declares to be evils, full oi vicious influences, destructive and ruinous in uii their consequences ? A government destitute of power to protect society against such an evi is perfectly contemptible. Grogshops are productive of uo good. Mark this. And bear iu mind that they are wors than famine and war. They hang like an in cubus upon the bosom of Humanity, sending death drops “thruughout the veins of desolate 1 society.” Has not society a right to remove such a nuisance? Evidently it has. And would noti their removal from Atlanta add much to uur peace, prosperity, and good name ?• Evidently it would. Wby then not close them entirely! —remove these pest houses of destruction from : our midst. Let us give it a trial of two years < as an experiment, and we would see what a disastrous evil we had been suffering to live ! and riot in the bosom of society—crushing out the very life-blood of humanity and despoiling the flower of love and happiness. The Editor of the Intelligencer seems to gnore the whole question, and blindly asserts that the restriction of these evils would be \ attended with bad consequences to the “future progress and weal of our city.” He charges that Ido not understand how to value an ab stract principle—“only regarding things in the cpncre.-e brands the law as “Tyranny,” and! diargfesr jjleakness” on those endeavoring to i sutabliahit. All this w Irfge --y,--:..,. , we have a right to close grogshops at 10 o’clock or at dark, no legal mind can question; that it would be a salutary restriction no one can reas onably doubt It works well in Rome, and in Marietta, and in Atlanta especially would it be a silutary restraint. Here, of all places in Georgia, grogshops ought to be closed at night. The trains are constantly bringing in travellers from all sections of the country, and many reckless characters are temporarily thrown in our midst, and they rush into these grogshops, and into riots, to the discredit of our own citizens. Let some restriction be had against these evils for our safety and reputation. It will do good, whatever a few disaffected persons may think or say to the contrary. Judge Warner, in delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court, on this identical question, arising from the 10 o'clock law passed in Rome, which is incorporated by our Charter, after confirming the law, uses this language : “So far from considering the ordinance un necessary or obnoxious to the peace and good government of the city, we think it is eminent ly calculated to be productive of tho best re sults.”—lo Ga. Rep p. 531. Ibis is the opinion, no doubt, of a majority of the voters, and at least nineleen-twentieths of the ladies of Atlanta; and 400 as respecta ble persons as can be found in the city, having petitioned the Mayor and Council to pass the law, it is confidently hoped that their petition will be respected. MARCUS A. BELL. Atlanta, July 21st, 1856. COMMUNICATED. Georgians in Kansas. Messrs Editors : Herewith I hand you the proceedings of a meeting of Georgia Emigrants held at or near Kansas City, on the Ist inst. It will be seen that Cap*. B. Jones of our own State and Capt. E. M. McGee of .Missouri have b en chosen, by the Emigrants, to canvass the State, to solicit contributi;us in behalf of the cause of Georgians that are in the Territory. The proceeding-! will explain themselves.— They show that Georgians are in the contested Territory without the means to support them. Suffice it, therefore, for me to say that I know this to be strictly true. When I was in the Territory the Ist of May it was thus. Many a noble hearted youth, who had gone thither, witu little or no means, was striving daily, to find employment, but in vain, for the capital and business was not there to give it to them. Not only is it so in relation to some of the youths that are in the Territory, but women and children are in the same condition. Many •went there too.late in the season to make any thing upon a farm, the present year. Many were unable to start one, even if they were there in time, for ($400) four hundred dollars is as small an amount as it takes to fit out any. thing in the way of a farm. No doubt many would return but are unable to do so. And while they were able they would not do so, for they were unwilling thus to desert the cause of the South, forgetting at the time that self-preservation and “ discretion is the better part of valor.” But this thing has been forced upon the South by our Northern brethren; they first commenced the business of sending out emi grants and making contributions for their sup port. Is it not the duty of the South to coun teract them? It is, and upto this time she has done so manfu'ly. It is true that we deplore, that it has ever come to this, that one portion of this Union has to defend their institutions, by counteracting the proceedings of another portion. But it is upon us. One step, yea, more than one, has been taken. Shall we then hear the cries of these our kindred and neigh bors, for means to support them, and not re spond. The universal reply will be, no! Only let a Georgian know that his brother stands in need of assistance and he is willing to lend a helping hand. P. Atlanta, July 21st 1856. Georgia Colonization Meeting. A meeting of the emigrants from Georgia held on the Ist of July, near Kansas City, Mo., was organized by electing Capt. Jno. Couch President and Capt. Jno. J. Grant, Vice Presi dent. A. S. Hamilton was requested to act as Secretary. The object Os the meeting being explained by Capt. Cook, the following pre amble and resolutions were read and unani mously adopted: Whereas, It is deemed necessary and high ly important that a Cdlony of Georgians should be planted in the Territory of Kansas; and whereas there are many patriotic sons of Geor gia now in the Territory who hart expended their means and labored with untiring energy in behalf of Southern rights, and who are now incapable of rendering farther defence to the institution of Slavery without aid and assis tance from their native State, whose interests they have peaceably attempted to represent, as long us an honorable peace could be maintained, and who have gallantly and meritoriously flocked to the standard of your rights when they were threatened with destruction by the base and unmanly conduct of the fanatics of the Territory—who.e avowed intentions are to drive Irom the Territory every Southerner who has dared to give publicity to his principles.— Therefore, be it Resolved, Ist., That in consideration of the above related facts, we, ss Georgians, do organ ize ourselves into a Colony, with the intention of becoming actual settlers and law-abiding citizens of Kansas Territory, and, furthermore, the representatives of Southern rights, institu tions and interests in the same. Resolved, 2d.. That we have done all that our purses can do, and that, though our per sons are worn and fatigued, we are still ready to discharge our duty as Southerners; and, with aid from you. we will still be able to main tain the supremacy of Southern institutions in the Territory. Resolved, 3d., That we appeal to you as a brother would to a brother, for assistance in thi-, our day of trouble, and we feel confident that our appeal will be heard and heeded by all true Georgians. Resolved, 4th , That we have chosen Capt E. M. McGee, of Missouri, and Capt. B. Jcnes of Georgia, to Canvass the State and receive all contributions that. Georgians may teel dis posed to make: and, farther that Capt. McGee has the confidenee of all who know him—is a warm hearted Southerner, and has hospitably received and liberally aided, to the extent of his means, all Southern men who have emigra ted to the Territory: and that we commend him to you as a man to whom you cannot show too much respect. Resolved, sth., Thv we came here to defend and further the institution of Slavery, and oagh nsrmt i* tor jin? at j a Southern State, we will not prove recreant in our duty as Southerners. Resolved, 6th. That we look upon all Geor gians as brothers in this struggle and feel as sured that they will continue to merit the dis tinguished position which they have heretofore occupied as leading defenders of Southern rights, by giving us th it aid which is necessary to success.

Atlanta, July 18,1856. [From the Charleston Courier.] New York Correspendence. New York, July 15.—1 f the next President tial election is to be carried by public meetings the bb.ck republicans will stand a good chance. They have another gathering to night, into which they impress all tie literary and mar tyred celebrities they can scare up. Mr. “Potiphar” Curtis is again to be on hand, and the name of John C. Underwood, late of Vir ginia, but for whom it became too hot, is also announced as one of the orators at a meeting to be held at the Stuyvesant Institute this even ing. The sudden resignation of Mr. Brooks in Congress yesterday, has perplexed the black republicans. They did not anticipate it. The apprehension that Mr. Brooks may yet have a seat on the same floor with Mr. Sumner is discussed with fearful forebodings. The truth is, Mr. Brooks, by resigning, has taken the wind out of their sails, and knocked the props from under them. They would rather he had remained. He afforded the newspapers a good target for their abuse. Now they will have to invent or discover some new atrocity upon which to sing their rapid changes. sThe Ariel, one of Commodore Vanderbilt’s Southampton steamers, has been placed on the California line to Aspinwall. The Transit Company have their meeting to day. and as Mr. Earrison, of San Francisco, arrived yes terday in the Orizaba, having bad a conference on the way with General Walker, communica tion via Nicaragua will doubtless soon be re stored. The drawing room entertainment of Miss Emma Stanley, at Niblo’s, entitled the “ Seven Ages of Womau,” has become the rage of the town. It is an exceedingly clever performance and draws immense houses. It is to be given but five times more, and then Mr. Burton plays his usual summer engagement at the Garden. It was stated some days ago that the pro prietor of the weekly paper, called the Ledger, had sued the Tribnne for libel, in the sum of SIU,OOO. The Ledger had advertised SISOO worth in the Tribune one day, and the same impression of that paper characterized the Ledger as “trashy.” It is now said that the Tribune proprietors proposed to return the SISOO, if the suit was discontinued, but the Ledger man plumply refused. The Ledger is the only paper I ever saw that refuses to pub lish advertisements. The lease of a part of Barnum’s Museum ex pires on the Ist of May next. The theatre, or “lecture room,” as it was hypocritically called, will then be closed. There is some talk that a new establishment will be erected on Broad way, further up town, and entrusted to Barn um, with which he will have ( a cbanee of re trieving his fortunes. The great showman continues to live in seclusion on Long Island, though he himself is not idle. Subscriptions in aid of the sufferers by the inundations of France, were commenced a few days ago. The principal shipping, banking, and auction houses are down for $250 each, and other houses connected with France, in proportion. A. T. Stewart & Co. head the list Only about S3OOO has been collected from the list I have seen. The arrival of two propellers—the Barce lone at this port and the Canadian at Quebec, is giving increased confidence to this class of vessels. They make passages quite as short and certainly as regular, as the be-t of side wheel steamers, while their charges are much lower. As carriers of freight, the propelleis leave the paddle-wheels far in the distance. PINK. Judge Minot, of Pennsylvania, has laid down the following rules as applicable to phy sicians : “1. The medical man engages that he pos sesses reasonable degree of skill, such as is ordinarily possessed by a profession generally 2. He engages to exercise that skill with reas onable care and diligence. 3 He engages to exercise his best judgment, bat is not responsi ble.

Tliomax W. Thomas to the Democratic Executive Committee. Elberton, Ga., July 16th, 1856. Gentlemen Yours of the 11th inst., con veying the information that I had been nomi nated as Elector of the Eighth Congressional District by the late Democratic Convention reached me yesterday evening. While duly appreciating this mark of their confidence, 1 am compelled to decline it. My reasons can be briefly stated, and I trust will prove satis factory to those i'rieuds whose partiality would have assigned me so honorable a position. The candidate for Elector will be justly ex pected to canvass at least the entire district for which he is appointed. I have not the time to devote to the work. My active con nexion with political attairs must cease. With me this is a necessity. I am heartially and unreservedly with the National Democracy on all the issues they make wjjja. tlieir opponents, but in my case there is a “mgher law” which declares “he who provides not for his own household, is worse than an infidel,” or words to that effect. This is no new resolve if mine, many friends heard me express this determina tion more than a year ago. I told several members of the late Convention positi rely that I could not accept. I regret the ma ter was not understood by that body as I intended it should be. Our friends will doubtless bet he more readily excuse me when they remember how ably the place will be filled by my Alternate. An old line Whig, of undoubted loyalty to principle, who has had the courage to place himself in opposition to large majority of bis old party friends in his own country, he is beculiarly fit ted to become our standard-bearer in this staunch Whig district—let us hope that hun dreds of manly honest Whigs will follow his lead, and give their support to sound principles and the constitutional rights of the South, by voting for the National Democratic nomi nees. The anti slavery excitement which now ra ges at the North grew exclusively out of that clause in the Nebraska Kansas act which repeals the Missouri restriction, and to restore this re striction is now the battle cry of the Black Republicans, under the lead of Fremont. In this, a» in all other contests with the Freesoil party at the North, the South has asked noth ing but bare justice. For thirty four years she submitted to be excluded from all the com mon property of the Union N orth of 36deg. 30. So strong was her attachment to this Un ion made by our fathers, that she consented to be deprived of her just and equal rights, rather than disturb the peace and harmony of the family of States; and this, too, when she had no guarantee for the exclusive enjoyment of any part of the country South of the liue.— The North had the exclusive right to settle the country North of the line, and an equal chance to settle, keep, and make free States South of it; or, in other words, we were ex cluded from three fourth, and they took equal chances with us in the remaining fourth.— This is a plain and truthful statement of the case. Bad as the bargain was, the South stood by it, like honest men. The Freesoilers did not; they declared in their popular meet ings, in their legislative’assemblies, and by tbeir votes in Congress, that they would drive us from every foot of the land which belonged to us equally with them. We then insisted that the bargain which they had violated should be set aside, and we would go back to constitu tional principles—that the people who settled the territories should decile the question of slavery for themselves. In 1854, we had friends enough at the North to abrogate the uncon stitutional restriction, and the South was ad mitted Cr the first time to her just rights in the country North of 36deg. 30. This just and righteous consession to us, by which we obtained only naked justice, by which our equality in the Union was restored, by which the brazen collar of inferiority was struck from our necks, the Cnvention which nominated Mr. Fillmor dec'ared to be a “reckless and unwise policy and he, in his letter of acceptance, con seats andagree to the denunciation. In speaking of the troubles which have grown out of our successful struggle for our rights, and throwing the blame upon “the present Executive and his supporters,’’ Mr. Fillmore says in his Albany speech, if they have with good intention and honest hearts made a mistake, he hopes God may lot give (Item, as he does. Forgive us for what? Because we asked and obtained jus tice ; because we insisted on our r’ghts to go into the territories on equal terms with our northern fellow citizens; because we did not yield a plain right to the rag ■ of the Frceioilers and consent to be robbed in order to keep the peace. Is there a man in Georgia base en ough to thank him for his prayer or his for giveness ? To show you and those who may read this letter that I have not misconstrued him, I append an extract from his late Alba ny speech. Speaking of the happy state of the nation when be left the Presidential chair, he proceeds: ‘ The clOud that hung upon the horizon was dissipated; but where are we now? Alas! threatened at home with civil war, and from abroad with a rupture of our peaceful relations. I shall not seek to trace the causes of this change. These are the facts, and it is for you to ponder upon them. Os the present Admin istration, I have nothing to say, and can ap preciate the difficulties of administering this government, and it the present Executive and his supporters have, with good intention and honest hearts, made a mistake, I hope God may forgive them, as I do. But if there be those who have brought these calamities upon the country for selfish or ambitious objects, it is your duty, fellow citizens, to hold them to a strict responsibility.” So far, it might be supposed he was allud ing to our foreign difficulties, but in the next two sentences it is unmistakable that he alludes to the Nebraska Kansas act. He proceeds: “ lhe agitation which disturb.d the peace of the country, in 1850. was unavoidable. It was brought upon us by the acquisition of new Territory ; for the government of which it was necessary to provide Territorial administrations. But it is for you to say whether the present agitation, which distracts the country and threatens us with civil war, was not recklessly and wantonly produced by the adoption of measure (the italics mine) to aid in personal advancement, rather than in any public good.” A Georgia editor speaking of this and oth ers, says, “ these speeches will electrify the na tion.” They have electrified every fibre of my composition with the profoundest indignation. Let others thank him who feel like it: for one, I will never thank him to forgive and pardon me for contending for my just rights. Let the horrors of civil war be painted to terrify those who are already willing to be traitors. There is something worse then civil war to a brave and honorable nation: it is submission to wrong and injustice. Civil war is the rock out ol which has sprung the refreshing stream of civil liberty in all ages. Our own case was not an exception to the rule. As in the physical, s<> in the political world, Liberty, with her t ;ous and attending blessings, is always born in trav ail and sorrow. If Heaven has decreed that our liberties shall be again baptised in biood, let those tremble who would withhold our rights, or who pronounce the yielding of them to us, “ reckless and unw : se.’’ God’s unerring justice will never call upon us to endure wrong while we demand nothing but the right. I have said nothing of Mr. Fillmore's dark anti-siavery record, prior to his accession to the Presidency : nothing of his published opin ions in favor of the reception of Abolition pe titions, against the annexation of Texas so long as slaves are held therein, in favor of abolish ing the slave trade between the States, and in favor of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia—nothing of bis obnoxious votes ' on Atherton's resolutions—nothing of his vote 1 on Mr. Giddings’ resolutions in the Creole case.! These prejudices he says he laid aside when be I went into the Presidential Chair, and on the I evidence lam willing to believe him. My ob- ; jeetions to him are based solely on bis plain ■ and published hostility to that clause in th" ' Kansas act which relieved the South from the Missouri restrictions which he and the Conven tion that nomiaated him pronounce to be reck !»•#« and unwise, and which makta hint, accor etag to the unanimous verdict of the Genera AMBbly of Georgia, hoaule to the rights off the South and unfit to be recognized as a com ponent part of any party organization not hos tile to the South. On the other hand, the National Democracy, with a party unanimously in favor of our rights.

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE i FELL THE I NIAGARA. t (o) Halifax, July 15. * The R. M. steamship Niagara, Captain i Leitch, from Liverpool, at noon on Saturday I the sth instant, arrived here at 7.30 this even- * *ng. > She brings 99 passengers for Boston, and * £2.330 specie in sterling. The steamship Erricson, of the Collins line, t had not arrived out. The steamship Fulton sailed from South s ampton, for New York, on the evening of the ’ 2d inst. Good News. The London papers contain the following - paragraph : t “Negotiations between England and the 3 United States, with a view to a settlement of - existing difficulties, were resumed on Monday, i the 30'h, under circumstances which justify the ) belief that matters are already in a fair train 1 owards an amicable adjustment of the points - at issue.” 3 Great Britain. . I* is believed that Parliament will be p-o- ■ rngued on the 31st ult„ and that no further > party motions will be made this session. r The following is the only reference that has e been made to America since the sailing of the 1 steamship Fulton : f THE CENTRAL AMERICAN DISPUTE. Mr. Baillie asked Lord Palmerston whether t“ Mr. Dallas, as United States Representative to I her Majesty’s Government, had full power to s settle the Central American dispute, or whether ue had any other powers than those of his I predecessor, Mr. Buchanan. Lord Palmerston said it was understood that e Mr. Dallas had full power to discuss with Her a Jfajesty's Government the Central American s question. Mr. Buchanan had no instructions - whatever to enter on this subject. r MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. s A bill has been introduced by the Govern -3 ment into the House of Commons to permit t distillation from rice. e The Sunday Music Controversy continued to expand. 1 Sir Colin Campbell had been entertained by f the City of Glassgow. s The King of Belgium and family were vis- - iting Queen Victoria. The Queen and the people of London are to i give the Guards from the Crimea a public re t eeption. e Dyce Sombre's celebrated will in favor of r the East India Company has been set aside, a and his immense fortune goes to his widow. 1 The prospectus of the New Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company to pur— e chase and complete the St. Andrews and Que bec Rail Rnad, has been issued. ; It was reported that Percy Dozle, British r AZinister to Mexico, will be removed to Han : over. s Professor Mah a n, the gentleman refused ad p mittance to the Queen’s levee, writes to the pa -1 pers that he to fcV ery precaution respecting 1 lIH costume. r The Dire c t ors o f the Bank of England, at i- their weekly meeting on Thursday, the 3d inst.. 5 did not alter the rate of discount. The general r impression has been that the rate would be * lowered. It was thought that they would be 6 redue*d on the following Thursday, or not la e ter than the week after. The Directors, how ' ever, do not generally like to lower it in divi ’ dend week. The Bank returns show a consid i erable increase in bullion. 1 The India mail takes out an unusually large amount of silver for the East, and the ship- 1 inent of gold to the Continent increases with * augmented inquiry for export. There is also further reason for shipment in the shape of in-J 5 vestments in French securities on account of * England. 1 The weather continued magnificent for the ■ harvest, and another fortnight of the same : would secure the farmers from all danger of a 1 change in their prospects. '1 here has been an increased demand for American securities since the political aspect * of affairs between England and the United States had changed. j Tonnage was in better demand for the Arch angel, Australian, and the Danube and Black ’ Sea trades. 1 Cape of Good Hope advices to April 24th, bring unfavorable accounts respecting the tran 1 quility of the frontier. Another Caffre war seems imminent. New Zealand dates to May 3d had been rc ' ceived by the ship London, and the new settle ‘ ments were progressing favorably. The grain crops were all harvested and abun- : dant. The potato crops will fall short, in conse quence of the heavy rains. The Earl of Shelburne is appointed under ■ Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and will be raised to the peerage by his present title. r Sir W. Williams, of Kars, will succeed him as representative in Parliament. France. Reports have been for some time current that unpleasantness existed between the courts of France and Russia, and that Count Moray’s departure for St. Petersburg!) was delayed in consequence; as Moray was about r.ady to embark the difference is probably arranged.— The report of the Committee of the Corps Le gislatiff refusing to the Emperor the power us granting pensions, is publish ,<d. It is respect ful, but firm, and is considered the severest ehack Napoleon has yet met from his Govern ment. The bill granting pensions to the Or leans princesses was voted unanimously, although Count Montalembert wrote a strong letter again. L it. and the Duchess of Baxe Coburg in dignantly refuses the money. The juvenile Count o Paris has written a letter to Mr. Roger repudiating the fusion, and saying that himself, his mother, and brother, do not recog nize the interference of the other members of tiie Or.'ear.s family, and that he reserves himself, for the future. The letter has made considera ble sensation in Orlcanist circles, and the Or leau princesses have written angry letters re specting the juvenile’s interference. At the close of the Legislative session on the 2d inst., it was announced that the bill for the repeal of prohibitory custom duties is deferred till the next session. The measure for consolidating decrees rela tive to Customs duties into laws is also post- I poned i The Emperor had arrived at Plombieres. j The projected meeting between the Empe i rors of Austria and France is confirmed. I The Frankfort Jourral says positively that ; the meeting will take place at Mannheim about I ’.he end of July. The Emperor of France will I reside at the Ducal Paiaec, and the Emperor ‘ of Austria at the Hotel L'Europe.

Accounts of the weather and the crop throughout the country, even the lately inunda ted districts, are favorable. Harvesting had commenced. In the South the vineyards also look well. Spain. The papers give accounts of the recent riots at Badajos, Valladolid and other cities. They st em to have been of serious magnitude, and of an insurrectionary character. The high price of food was the ostensible cause of the riots, but the people really were excited by political emissaries. Numerous arrests were made, and many of the prisoners shot. The rioters set fire to the corn stores, and to the growing crop;. Tranquility was finally restored, when the gov ernment announced that the crops presented a good prospect, and that there was ample sup ply in store until the harvest set in. The ex port of breadstuffs was prohibited. It was announced that a second squad~on of ships of war, with troops for disembarkation in Mexico, was ready to sail from Havanu. should Mexico refuse to satisfy the demands of Spain. The Cortes were prorogued on the Ist inst. 86L. We subjoin the following additional items of European intelligence brought by the Canadian to Quebec, on Tuesday : “ It is reported that a conference of the three protecting powers is to be held at London du ring the present month to settle the affairs of Greece. “ The only subject of interest in France is tho protest of the Princes of Orleans. “ Mr. Moore moved in the British House of Commons, that the conduct of the Government on the enlistment question has not entitled them to the approbation of the House. Several members appealed to Mr. Moore to postpone the motion, but he refused, and the debate pro ceeded. “ The Attorney General defended the Gov ernment and said that the U. S. dispatches were not such as might have been expected from a nation anxious to preserve friendly re lations with England. “ Sir N. Thesiger said that the British agents hud violated equally the laws of the U. S. and of nations. “ Mr. Bailie declared that England was dis ho ored by her attempts to seduce citizens of the U. S. from their allegiance. “ Mr. Janies Walsh said the government had eonfes id, by not dismissing Mr. Dallas, that they had done wrong. *• Mr. Gilson said that Lord Clarendon’s conduct was insulting towards the U. 8. Gov ernment, and the American people should un derstand that the British people do not sup port these Ministers therein. “ Mr. Gladstone contended that the most blameable feature was the concealment ob served towards the American Government, for which Lord Clarendon and Mr. Crampton were equally to blame. “ Other members also spoke in a similar strain ; and Sir George Gray, Mr. Phillmore the Solicitor-General and others defended the government. The debate lasted for two days when the House was divided on the motion for censnre and the government was sustained by a majority of 194.” Col. Brooks and Nir. Woodruff. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, July 14th, says When Cob- Brooks had closed his remarks, he retired from the Hall, surrounded by friends, including mem bers, officers, employees, and even the pages, expressing their sympathy. Before concluding his remarks, the Colonel paid a little attention to several of his assailants, and particularly to Mr. Woodruff, who had been very abusive on Saturday last, and exhibited great personal bravery, which, however, gave way under a little pressure, as will be seen by the following statement from Hon. Mr. Savage, of Tennes see :— Aug. Const. & Rep. Washington City, July 11,1856. Dear Sis :—I make a brief statement of the main facts connected with my call on the Hon. Mr. Woodruff’, of Connecticut, who spoke to day in the House of Representatives. A few moments after Mr. W. concluded his speech, you requested me to bear him a message. 1 immed.utely went round to that part of the House where he sat, just inside the ban I told him I wanted to speak with him, and we hi d better walk to the window, which he did. J then said in substance, “ Col. Brooks and his friends—myself among the number—understood you in your speech to hold yourself out as a fighting man, subject to the laws of honor, and I am requested to present you Col. Brooks' compliments, and inquire whether you are will ing to receive a communication from him under the rules of that code?” He replied that he did not intend to be so understood. He did not intend to hold himself out us a fighting man, and if there was anytning in his speech that would bear the he, like Col. Bingham, of Ohio, would be rea ly to explain. I then told him that this declara tion on his part cuded my mission on the part of Col. Brooks; but 1 would advise him to look over his speech before publication ; that I thought if he would examine it can fully, be would examine it carefully, he would find points and sentences that would indicate to a man of honor and sensibility that he did intend to hold himself out as a fighting man, subject to tho code of honor. He replied that “he would du so,” and thus ended our interview. I was fully satisfied, as your friend, believing you to be as generous as brave, that it could not be your du'y or inclination to press the matter further. I am, respectfully, your friend and obedient servant, John 11. Savage. Hon.- Preston S. Brooks. ATROCIOUS FRAUD ON THE PUBLIC. ARREST AND COMMITTAL OF THE PERPETRATOR. We learn from the Philadelphia press, that Hollis who was charged with counterfeiting so extensively the labels of Holloway’s Pills, has been committed to Moyamensing jail for trial in default of bail. The examination showed that the immense sales of Holloway's Remedies in this country had long since excited the cu pidity of a class of miscreants known as “med ical counterfeiters.” The establishments of Professor Holloway, in every city of the Un ion, had been closely watched, the extent of their business ascertained, and finally a system ol counterfeiting planned out which, in extent and magnitude, has probably never been equalled in this or auy other country. We hope the fortunate arr.st of the chief conspirator, Hollis, will tend to explode the whole scheme ; all tin material ol the rascally combination is uow in the hands of the police. It is somewhat diffi cu.t to counterfeit the remedies of Professoi Holloway with impunity. His agents “covei the land,” constituting au all-prevadiug “vigi lance committee” whose Argus eyes are evei open to his i tercsts and the interests of tin sick, which are in fact “one and inseparable.’ Hollis aud his gang forgot this' iudependen* medical police, ever on the alert, all in direci commuuicatiun with the office iu New. York. They left out of their calculations the boundless pecuniary resources of Professor Holloway, aud undi-r-estimuted his z al aud liberality when engaged iu bunting down the double knavery that tampered With the public health while n' sought to rob him of bis reputation. The time ly discovery of this scheme of wholesale rascal ity, will, we trust, be a warning to “medica counterfeiters.” The counterfeit plates, labels, &c., are all iu the hands of the authorities ol Philadelphia, aud the conspiracy is utterly crushed. Its effect has been to exhibit in a more striking light the unparalled popularity 01 Holloway's Pills, for only agaust the leading medicine of the age would such a scheme have been organized. It would be well for the trade to be on their guard against simitar frauds of th* future. One scheme of imposture is put down, but the pop ularity of the med'cines may give rise to others. —N. I".

I had taken a vio ent cold, followed by a deep seated cough, which frequently produced vomiting, with pain in the side, I breathed with difficulty, had night sweats, lost my appetite; in short I was completely prostrated. My physician prescribed for me but found no relief. I commenced taking the Bal sam in small doses at first, and immediately be gan to improve. My cough abated, my strength and appetite returned, and in a few weeks I was Me to attend to my business as usual. I feel indebted to Wistar’s Balsam for my recovery, and cheerfully give you leave to make whatever use you please of this statement. Very respectfully, yours, &c., ROYAL SMITH. Boston, Dec. 2, 1852.

Warm covering and hot application! failed to restore warmth. My wife’s fami/y, who had used the pain Killer with success 'unng the Cholera season in Buffalo, in 1849, advised me to take it. I took two doses at inteiva/s of fif teen minutes ; a fine perspiration ensued, and the next day, barring a little weakness. I was well and have been since. Since my reco-ery I find that several of our citizens have used .he Pain Killer as a remedy for Cholera, and pronounced it good.
