A strong, lazy fellow, who preferred
begging to work, called on a gentleman
in the city, and asked for "cold victuals
and old clothes" The man asked him
what he did for a living.
"Not much," said the fellow, "except
travelling"
"Travelling! Then you can travel
pretty well :"
ooh, yes" said the beggar, "Fm very
good at that"

Substance of the remarks of MT.
 Solomon

Delirered in the Court House in Mobile,
 at the Ratjfcation Meeting on the lsth
 instant.
 MT. Solomon said, as one of the repre- sentatives of the democracy of the State of Alabama, appointed at the State Con- vention at Montgomery, to represent this State in the National Convention at Balti- more, and as a delegate especially repre- senting this city and Congressional Dis trct, it is not only my duty but my incli- nation to preface the business which you have been called together this evening to consider, by detailing to you the proceed ings of your Delegation in the discharge of the trust that you had confded in them. As the motives of a portion of the dele- gation have already been assailed in a distinguished quarter, and charges of un- faithfulness from the same source urged against them, the duty of presenting full and complete report of our proceedings is rendered yet more imperative. After you have heard the statements that shall make, it will be for you to decide which portion of the delegation from the State of Alabama has proved recreant to the charge with which they were entrusted. It is already known to you that the State Convention that assembled at Montgome- ry in February last, and under which we held our appointment, passed certain re- solutions, the substance of which, was to pledge and instruct the delegates, "under no political necessity ,ohateuer," to SUD- port for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States any per. sons who did (shall) not openly and auoac. edgy oppose either of the forms of exclu. ding slavery from the Territories of the United State," that is either by the action of Congress as expressed in the Wilmo Proyiso, or by the action of the people o

would De when they were assembled to- gether to adopt State Constitution. No other conclusion can be drawn from his language. To argue otherwise would be to assume for him, an ignorance of the constitution, and of the position of the territories of the United States perfectly absurd. It is to be Jeff to them "with the right to regulate it for themselves under the general principles of the con ,titution." Those general principles do not admit the power in them until they meet together to- adopt State constitution. Where can the most captious find any objection in this position ,
 The convention felt that it was un> necessary to adopt the minority resolution offered by MT. Yancey for that reason. 1t was voted down by the South, and when Mir. Yancey asserts that the delegation from Alabama was influenced in its final vote on the platform of principles, by de- sire to secure anomination for one Of her sons, as Vice President, to use a mild term, he must have forgotten that the vo- ting onthe resolutions did not take ?place until the day after the nominations for President and Vice President had been made, and therefore there could not have been any influence of the character he describes. could show here that this resolution of Mir. Yancey is confused and indeterminate, and at best a mere politi- cal abstraction; but I have already tres. passed too long upon you.
 It must be evident, however, to every Southern man, that the true policy of the South upon this subject, is not to maintain spirit of propagandism, but rather one of m oderation and firmness. When is it that tho South has ever failed to obtain her behests and when is it that she has obtained them, that they have not been pro- cured by the votes of the democracy of the free States We want no ultra par tisans of sectional character to destroy the great democratic party and when up- on such frivolous grounds as are now ur- gcd against the democratic nominee, we find the standard of rebellion raised we may question whether it is not the spirit that would rather rule in "Hell than serve in Heaven," that induces them to their present course, or disappointed ambition that seeks to find its mode of revenge.

DF We clip the following from the Richmond Val Examiner, the Editor of which, was Delegate in the late Bahi- more Convention, and we publish it more to show that the imprudent course pursued by III. Yancey, in that body had a delete rous tendency for the nomination of MT. Woodbury, or whoever might have been his choice. We are inclined to think, though, the editor become somewhat pre- udiced against the gentleman, as we know Mir. Yancey is possessed iof more talent thar W hat is seemed to be placed to his credit here.
 "Our acquaintance with MT. Tancey, of Alabama, dates from this Baltimore Convention and whatever his future course may prove him, his conduct there has not made upon Us a favorable impress sion.-Round head, round face, round bel ly, conceited and pragmatical look, and a cock sparrow species of rhetoric. make up the observable points of MT. Yancey. He entered Congress- short time hack, was the youngest member in the House we believe, and made great speech. This, of course, attracted much attention to him, and gained him much applause. We are sorry to observe, that it seems to have turned his head to a considerable ex- tent in the wrong direction. He has late ly been getting up a little disturbance in his own State about the "Southern Plat form," and creating newspaper warfare about it, with more regard, we fear, to his notoriety, than the welfare of his party. He lost ground in this Baltimore Conven- ton from the first to the last every mo- moment that the Baltimore Convention sat, contributed in some way to diminish MT. Yancey in the estimation of all per sons therein. MT. Yancey is a very young man, and we hope he may be re- formed. Being possessed of considerable ability, he may be very useful, if he will only think less of himself, and more of the great objects and purposes now before the eyes of all thinking men,"

RAISING THE WINp.-A couple of chaps fell up on the following expedient to raise the needfal :-One wasfo feign him self dead, to be put into a bag by the other, and sold to physicianin the neigh borhood, as subject for dissection. The bag was procured, the fellow tied up in it, and at nights meridian" carried to the doctor. The bargain was soon finished, the money poclseted, and the seller was upon the sill Of the door taking his leave when the subject in the bag began to kick. ~

By the arrival yesterday of the Helen, Capt. Collins, we have received dates from Vera Cruz to the 9th inst, and from the City of Mexico to the 30th ut. The Queretaro correspondent of the Monitor says that the American Commissioners were received and entertained with much hospitality. Mir. Severe, however being i'll, Mir. Clifford took charge of the ncgoti- ations. The writer does not ike Il present position of Santa Anna, believing that he is in secret correspondent with his friends in the republic.
 Gen. Patison was to have left the capi. tai for Vera Cruz, on the 30 ut. Three hundred and fifty sick, escorted by Maj. Banchard's command, arrived at the City of Mexico from Cuernavaca, which place is said to be very sickly. The San Patricio prisoners will be shortly brought to this city, and dshonorably discharged. The General in- Chief has declared that he had received positive orders from the War De- pertinent to discharge no men from the service until after their arrival in the Uni ted States, and therefore volunteers for Yucatan will have to return to this city be- fore visiting the scenes of their future la bors:
 The Free American of the 4th ut. says:
 "As two Mexicans were riding past the New Gate at full speed, about ! o'clock yesterday evening, they were ordered to stop by the sentinel, who brought his musket to the charge at the same time; they not complying with the order, one received the bayonet in his breast, which killed him on the spot. Captain White being the off, cer of the day, ordered the sentinel to the guard house, until further inquiry can be made into the case."
 Several Mexicans have petitioncd Gen Butler to liberate the San Patricio prison- CTS, Capt. Riley, and others. and allow them to remain in Mexico. Our Commis- sioners were to leave Queretaro on the lst inst, and Herrera wason that day to enter on his duties as President O. Mercu. ry. Jane IA. @

Mr. Yancey,s Piafform.

Southern slaveholder, of practical, com.
 mon sense, whether he would prefer that the introduction of slavery into the Terri tories should be left to the people of such Territories, and the progress of emigra-
 ton, denyingto Congress all jurisdiction
 or right to interference with the subject,
 or that we should resort to Congress to protect us in our rights in the Territories, and thus yield in point of jurisdiction over the subject matter, we apprehend there
 would be no hesitation in saying to Con. gress-"hands off-leave this matter to us--If we cannot, manage it to our satis- faction, yours is the last tribunal on earth to which we would resort. We fear no flimsy territorial law-it the soil and cli- mate are suitable for slave labor, slavery
 wW De introduced, in spite of any enact- ment which may be made on the subject by any miserable Mexican and Indian Legislature, which may convene in the Territories than we have less fear of the people of the Territories than we have of Congress all we ask of you, is to let slavery alone." Would not this be the reply which reason, experience and common sense would dictate 2" And is not this the position of the Democratic party and their nominee? What more could we desire Nearly all the delegates from the Southern States were willing to place the rights of the South upon the platform of total non-interferance laid down by the Convention. Has Virginia, North Carolinia, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, large portion of Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas, no interest in this question and shall we seperate from them upon an issue, which, as national question, either has no meaning at all, or involves dangerous concession of South- ern rights Grant that the people of the Territories have no right to decide the question of slavery Shall it be to Con. gress? If we carry our case before that tribunal, and thus yield the point of juris- diction, will we not be bound to abide by their decision; And who that has obser- we'd the proceedings of that body in years past, Ctu ilcSItdlt tO UCllCNO tiidl utCloiOu would be against us. For ovrselves, we prefer to keep this matter out of Congress altogether, and leave it to the energy, en- terprise, and self finterest of the citizens of the Southern and South- Western States, who would soon occupy with their slaves any Territory which we may acquire suit able for slave labor, ''in spite of any Ter ritorial laws which may be enacted to the contrary" Texas was populated with em- igrants from the United States, and slave ry introduced whilst that country was still a Mexican province, in defiance of Mex ican laws, and Mexican population. To talk of a few thousands of miserable Mex jeans and Indians, being able to exclude Southern shareholders, with their property, from fertile cotton or sugar region, is an absurdity. The only mode in which they ever can be excluded, is by the interfer- ance of Congress. Their right to do this, the Democratic party and MT. Cass, total ly deny, and upon this platform, we trust the whole South will stand firm and united.
