1Ioh. The only way to make prominent and to place at the head of a great South em party, certain restless and aspiring politicians, IS to put the South in position antagonistic to the whole North. The immediate consequences would be to place us in a minority, utterly powerless, in the legislation of this Union. Our friends at the North and West wo,ld all be sacrificed in our defence, and the pro- tection of the constitution destroyed. As matter of necessity, we should be com pellcd to go out of the Union. It is the most arrogant presumption for a few men in this country to assume to themselves to be the sole and peculiar guardians of Southern rights and Southern indepen- dence. .F'o were warned by the Fa- ther of his Country 10 beware of such men, us those who for their own selfish purposes of ambition, would be ready to array one section of this community against another; whether they be fanatics at the North, or factionists at the South, they are alike to be dreaded and watched. Mir. Yancey hopes the democracy of Ala bama will teach those who did not act with him to respect her intelligence, firmness and patriotism" Born and rais- cd amongst the democracy of the State, am proul to appeal to them for verdict on my conduct feeling assured that all the orators in South Carolina, or from South Carolina, can never place her in a position secondary to that of any other State.
 This communication is much more ex- tended than had desired, hope howev- CT, such of the whig papers as have been kind enough to publish Mir. Yancey's speeches, will show the same courtesy to this reply, and that the democratic papers of the State will do the same.

noldizing of Van Buren. Already, how. ever, they realize that even if no new federal candidate shall start up, their vote in New York will be far greater than ours, while in every other State they mus loose three dissenting voters to one to be lost on our side.
 The Worcester Convention, to meet to- morrow, called by the signature tf more than three thousand whig voters of Mas sachusetts, thus pledging themselves tc vote against Taylor, will take measures tC secure tremendous attendance at the But falo, whig, anti-Taylor convention, to as semble on the 9th of August. This body will make nomination, mark it, which will abstract more than a third of the whig vote of several States, New York Vermont, and Connecticut being of the number.

Tor for the last Two years than any other whig now in political life, averred, thai though believing him to be an nti-provi, soist, he could not tell whether he, i elected, would veto or it not.
 To-day we had an able speech from Calhoun, on slavery in territory of the U. States. His peroration was sophistica. ted attack upon what he terms the com mon understanding of the trueism of the Declaration of Independence, "all men are created equal" He says men are not created, nor are infants, they being born. while men are neither born nor cre- ated men. Heis admirable on tweodie. de. Without rival, assure you.

WASHINGTON CIry, June 27, ls4s.

WASHINGTON CIrY, June 27, lS4S. l When it was first announced in Wash ington that the Utica Convention of sore- heads had determined, in caucus, to nom.
 mate Mir. Van Buren, those most incredu. lous as to the probability of his accep- tance were Messrs. J. c. Reyes, Blair, Amos Kendall, Ritchie, Allen, Benton, and others oi the circle of his heretofore devoted personal, as well as political friends. Alone, these gentlemen seemed to be blind to the fact, that ever since the democratic National Convention of l644, in accordance with the advice of General Jackson, had decided that the substitution of the name of another was necessary to again bring the democratic party in pow CT, concealed in the back ground, HE had given direction to the plottings against the integrity of the party of principle, which thus ends in this effort to defeat the nom- ination of the Baltimore Convention, even at u e expense of placing the ad- ministration of public affairs in the hands of the federalists, and adding a third name that of MARTIN VAN BUREN-to the twain Arnold and Burr--at the bare mention of which Americans shudder inn mediately.
 Mono in Washington are so loud and bitter in denunciation of this parricidal act of hm who owes more than any oth- CT to the democracy of the Union, than are the class of public men until just now known as most emphatically Van Buren men. His course is deplored,' only b . cause it reveals his own utter unworthy ness--proving the truth of the federal charge, against the force of which, every where, democratic speakers and writers have struggled for years, viz.: that Mir. Van Buren's distinguishing characteris- tics are selfshness and a propensity for intrigue.
 Upon the representations of our polti- cal friends in Congress, from almost every State in the Union, can assure the public that out ot New York, nowhere will the sore headed ticket be sustained by hand. iul of persons acting with the democrats within the last five or six years. Oul Congressional friends from Ohio, Michi. Q m, Iowa, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, N. Je rsey, and Illinois, one and all, scout the idle, that in either of these States will the nom nation of Mir. Van Buren meet de. moor, tic response, other than that to this Iay re, mying Arnold and Burr. We mus boweve ', be prepared to witness the dis play of : reat activity on the part of the ederal P ress to produce an. impression hat tbe (, vorable answers to the Utica ,omination come from democrats, rather han wb;gs and abolitionists, who alone ire in f,t9re to shout for Van Buren. ,dvise democ, ats, whenever an expression favorable to tb course of this third grea American traito r is put forth, to prompt, publish the proof mat It eminates from ederal or abol;t; on source. trust ou friends of the dem ocratic press will circu ate and actupon tn suggestion:

Celebration of the Fouth.

The anniversary of our National Inde-
 pendence was celebrated in lively and becoming manner, by the citizens gener- ally in the vicinity of Stoker's Church, some 13 or IA miles from Wetumpka, in Coosa county, which we had the pleasure of witnessing. About o'clock the peo. pie of all sizes, sexes and ages cornmen- ced assembling at an old field near the Church, for the purpose of witnessing the operations of the Coosa Cavalry Com pany. that has recently been formed.- By 10 o'clock the company, in their neat jeans uniform, formed in line under the command of Capt. Pinckston, who is an excellent officer. He carried his men through all the manevering in Cavalry tactics, with honor to himself and credit to his whole company. We were some- what surprised to witness with what pre- cision and promptness the company exc cuted the orders of the Captain, when it is recollected that the horses were almost entirely untrained. Both the horses and men seemed to understand the business as well as if they had been in full practice. After full exercise on the field, the Caval- ry Company moved off majestically to the Church, where they dismounted. The ceremonies commenced by prayer from the Rev. Mir. Ellis. The Declaration of Indepencence was read by Mir. McDuce, and an excellent oration delivered by MT.
 Malcom D. Graham, of this city. MT. Graham is quite young man, but we do not recollect ever having listened to an oration with so much pleasure and de- light, displaying, as he did, beauty of speech and ease Of delivery, which gave new life to the interesting subject upon which he seemed to dwell, & N

0r It is generally believed that Mir. Van Buren has accepted the nomination from the Utica Convention, as the IAboli tion President. This course of Van Bu- ren has been received with astonishment by almost the whoie South, for never has been northern man so universally popu. lar at the south, as he has been, but to the institutions of the south. has entire- ly parallised that once warm friendship entertained in southern bosoms. He has allowed himself used by Ia faction that are determined to bring about dissolutionsof this glorious union, if encouraged. We would have thought better things of Mir. Van Buren.

 Or It is really hard thing to die, but it is at least credible to die with symptoms of game to the last. This remark has been made in consequence of witnessing some whig meetings that have recently been held in this city. We are really de- lighted to witness the heroism these poor fellows evince in their dying spasms. Their actions in these hillaballoes, are fair indications of uamosing from their old course, to take up one that will bury the old Federal whig party so clear fiom the sight of the American people, that no signs of even head board will be left to their graves Wonder what our more orderly whigs think of such carvings on: Don't let us intermeddle MT. whigs, it is matter that you willIhave to settle with. your maker, for we are determined to have nothing to do with such business.

It is so constructed that it can be placed in the Gin House, and with two horse power will grind one hundred bushels of corn in day with all ease. Every planter that has Gin house, should have one of these useful Mills. MT. Griffin, we learn charges $lO0 for making one and putting ii up, and only $l0 for the right to build one.

nF Every Whig member of Congress, north of Mason & Dixon's line, are avow ed Wilmot Proyiso men, while there are but 9 Democrats, from the whole North gives this hellish project the least favor. It must be recollected while these men favor this measure, they are doing every thing in their power for the election Of Gen. Taylor. There are thousands upon thousands of bis signal letter, with the Editors comments, printed, and circu. lated at the North to prove that he is the right sort of a man for the WiImot Provi. so men to elect. We are inclined to think so too, when we see the abolitionists quoting the following from the remarks of the signal Editor:
 "1he ertension oUer the continent beuond the Rio Grdnde of the ordinance of I7s7. as dn object loo high and permanent to De batted 6g presidential refoes. All that we ask of the incumbent of the highest of. flee under the constitution is to hold his hand, to bow to the will of the people as promulgated in the legislative forms, and to restrain the executive action in it's ap- propriate channels"
 The "ordinance of 17s7" as relates to slavery, is as follows:
 "There shall be neither slavery nor in- voluntary "sewitude in the said territory north west of the "Ohio) otherwise than in the punishment of crime,' ''ect."
 The editor bringing this question to his attention, in these words. Gen. Tay- Tor returned an answer, which contains plain terms of assent:
 "l trust you will pardon me for thus "briefly replying to you, which I do uith "a high opinion and decided aDproral of 'the sentiments and uiews embraced Tn "your editorial..'
 This is satisfactory to the abolition Wings of the North, it would seem. Now let the rawlings of the whigs of the south cease, against Gen. Cass, when it is so alpably falsehood. Let them look at their own bretheren at the North before attempting for "Kettle to call pot black"
