Kansas Meeting in Fayetteville. FATEriEviLLB, May 9th 1856. Upon very short notice a respectable por tion of the citizens of Fayette, assembled at the Court House, for the purpose of hearing a Kansas speech from Col. J, W, White. On motion Dr. Win. Blalock was called to the chair; and Q C Grice Esq. requested to act as secretary. The object of the meeting bein explained, Col. White, commenced his which continued tor an hour or more—during which time, he gave a lucid aud highly inter esting account of Kansas, her climate, produc tions &e. He, also, with peculiar pathos, ac companied with that native eloquence that never fails to carry conviction with it, demonstrated the importance of the Southern people, of Kansas being admitted as a slave State. On motion, the following preamble and resolutions, offered by Q. C. Grice Esq. were read and adopted: Whereas the inhabi tants of Kansas, will shortly apply for admis sion into the Union, and Whereas, we as a por tion of the Southern people, regard it as being of the utmost importance, that it be admitted as a slave State. Be it therefore resolved: That WO the citi zens of Fayette county Ga recognize the said Territory of Kansas, as being the property of ‘-all the States without any sort of reservation ‘or equivocation whatsoever. Hence we earn estly contend for and expect to sustain the .just and equitable doctrine, that the Southern 4uan has the same right to enter Kansas with tiis negro slave in order to develope the agricul tural or mechanical sources of the country, that the Yankee abolitionist has, to march in Avith his onehorse load cf hams or nut megs for the purpose of slide n the unsuspecting inhab itants. Resolved, That we will do all in our power to counteract those vile schemes engendered in the foul beds of fanaticism whose avowed object is to defraud the South'-out of her just, equitable and constitutional rights- Sharps titles to the contrary notwithstanding. Resolved, I hat the following comuiittec viz: Wm .N Hill, Dr. J. S. Holiday, S F. Bla lock, L. Glass and Thos, Whitaker be appoint ed to piocure men aud means for Kansas and report to the Chairman of this meeting on or before the next con vocation. Resolved, 1 hat our thanks are due Col. White for his very gentlemanly deportment while with U3 also tor Valuable information re lative to KaUsas. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet ing be forwarded to the Griffia papers with a request that they publish the same. The meeting then adjourned until the loth iust at which time Mr White will be with us again. WM. BLALOCK, Ch’n. Q. C. Grice, Sect’y. A Breeze in the Senate. Washintox. May 2,185 G. Ms. Cass asked and obtained permission to address the Senate, on I hursday next, in de fence of “squatter sovereignty,” which lmd been assailed by Mr Brown. Mr Seward replied to Mr Benjamin’s allu sions to his political course. Mr Hale alluding to what lie said, were gros.dy personal attacks upon him in Mr. Clay’s recent speech, remarked that he had but one word to submit sti reply: That it will take something besides malignity to redeem imbe cility from cor.tempt! Mr. Clay sprang to his feet, *>rcat-ly excited, saying: I defy ike Senator’s malice as much as I contemn his baseness. No man shall as sail mv rights oT those of niv constituents, and shirk his responsibility by skulking behiud a plea of non-combatancy. If he had been ani mated by those heroic feelings which he pro fesses, he would i ot come upon this floor, and, tinder the protection of its rules, seek 11111110’ nity for his insolence. I know lie is pleased bv this attention. There are those of his class who, like the London Attorney, Mark Meddle, in the play, are ambi’ious of a kick. [Sensa tion ] He concluded by remarking that he had nothing more to say to that Senator, having twice declined his acquaintance, and he asked pardon of the Senate for consuming so much time about a Senator who soils the carpet up on which he treads. Mr. Hale replied that he had never sought an introduction to him but once, and that was on ‘professional business, for the benefit of a citizen of. Alabama Mr. Clay rejoined. He did not think his reputation for veracity would suffer by con flict with one who had repeatedly eaten his own words. Mr. Hale replied that if he did eat his own words, lie would have a more palatable meal than the Senator from Alabama, if he should undertake to eat his [Laughter.] Adjourned t 6 Monday.

Our readers have been informed of a recent in stance of conflict of authority at Cincinnati, be tween the courts of the State of Ohio and of the United States, in the case of 11. 11. Itobiuson, Esq. the U. S. Marshal, who was arraigned before the Probate Court of Hamilton county, and commit ted for contempt of Court in delivering the slaves in the Cains ease to the owner, instead of obeying the order of Judge Burgoync to bring the .ll before the Probate Court upon a writ of habeas corpus. The Marshal applied to the United States court to be liberated; that court after a hearing, discharg ed him from custody on the ground that he was acting under the authority of the United States. Judgo Leavett, in reviewing the argument that the Fugitive Slave law was unconstitutional, said the act was both valid and constitutional, und as such must be respected and enforced. No Judge or other officer of the State and national Cos /eminent or any citizen of either, so far as tire rights of oth ers are concerned, lias a right to act on his private or individual views of the policy and validity of the laws passed in conformity with the forms of the Constitution. Until repeated or set aside, by the adjudication of the proper tribunal, they must have the force of law3 and be obeyed as such.— Any other principle must lead to anarchy in its worst form, and result inevitably in the overthrow of our institutions. — Exchange. Great Loss ix Produce.—lt is now stated that the immense quantities of wheat purchased at Chi cago, Milwaukee, and other points at the west last full, said at the time to be on account of the French Government, were in reality bought for parties in Boston, New York, &c., who will “realise” a loss of something near a million of dollars ! Millions of bushels were purchased, expecting to realize an immense profit. #• Antidote for Poisons.— A correspondent of the Loudon Literary Gazette, alluding to the numer ous cases of devth from accidental poisoning, adds. ‘I ventu- e to affirm there is scarce even a cottage in this country that does not contain an invaluable, certain, immediate remedy for such events, nothing more than a dessertspoonful of mustard, mixed in a tumbler of warm water, hud drank immediately It acts as an emetic, is always ready, and may be used with safety in any case where one is requir ed.” [From the (Va) South Side Democrat, May 2.] Nine Safe Bets. Fixe Opening Foh the Capitalists of the Opposition . - The chief argument used against the re-nomination of Gen. Pierce in the south ern states, and especially in Virginia, has been his supposed want of availability at the present juncture. If he fails to receive the vote of Virginia at Cincinnati, it must be set down to this belief, which has been artfully engraved on the minds of the people, more than tcTall other considerations combined. For, leaving her own sons out of the qustion there is no doubt that he would command eight-tenths of the demo cratic strength of the state, over any other man lor the nomination. A warm supporter of ’Gen- Pierce, iu this vicinity, who is a man of eminent sagacity, and always fully up with the times, by way of sho wing his confidence in Gen. Pierce’s availability authorises us to make the following proposal. The name of the gentleman can be had at this office by parties desiriug to make an investment .1 I will bet $250 that the vote of Penns ylvania in the next Presidential election will be given to Gen- Pierce, should he be the nom inee of the Democratic Convention, to assem ble in Cincinnati on the sth of June next. 2.

I will bet SI,OOO that tile nominee, wheth er Geu Pierce or not, will be elected.

This is to certify that my child, three years old, was troubled with worms some sik months. I had tried several kinds of medicine, but none of them done any good; and it 1 was not until I tried Dr, M’Lane’s celebrated Vermifuge, that she found any relief; I gave her the contents of one bottle, which brought from her a very large quantity of worms, but they were so completely cut to pieces it was impossible to count them. My daughter is doing well; indeed she is totnpletly restored to health. I therefore take pleasure in rfccommendig it to parents, I would say, by all mentis keep a supply of this vaiuable medicine con stantly In .Vour houses- I have known many children to tlie suddenly from the effects of worms. It also not unfre quentLy happens that children are treated for croup, when the choking and coughing is caused altogether by the ir ritation of worms. Therefore, we say again, keep it always in the house; it costs but little, and may Ihj the means of saving life; and at any rate it will save physicians’ bills. MRS. LANE, No. 333 Eighth street. VJL.

Be it therefore Resolved Ist, That in the death of our much loved broth er, W. A. Piper, Warren Lodge has sustained no ordinary loss—a loss long to be remembered and severely felt. As an Odd Fellow,while in health, he was faithful in ever}- duty imposed upon him, by our laws. Ever ready to vindi cate by practice, the objects of our Order. True to his ob ligation, his hand and heart were ever open to a distressed brother ; and though his scathe now vacant in the Lodge yet will memory endow it with cherished recollections never to be forgotten ; and we can only render this last sad tri bute to one, whom in life, we loved, whom in death we mourn, not as one lost,but “only gone before.” 2nd.
