G We learn that our Representative, in Congress from this District, Maj. liar. rls, will remain at Athens, Ga., for week or two on his return home, with his Georgia relations and friends, which will necessarily prevent him from meeting the greetings of his constituents, which are ever due from the people to public ser- want. Maj. Harris, has, we can say with the greatest propriety, discharged the du- ties as Representative, in the late ses- sion of Congress, to the entire satisfaction of his constituents.

0ET The London Times has come out in an ably written article in favor of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, and calls upon the whigs 10 stand up to him. The Times believes that the "continued aggressive policy of the two last Presidents" would be stopped by the election of Gen. Fay Tor. It is now reduced to certainty that the capitalists of England will use greater efforts and expend more capitol in the Uni ted States in defeating Gen. Cass, than any man that ever run for the Presidency. The Englishmen has been prejudiced againt him since the day at Detroit.

 SIR-Will you do me the favor to pub fish the following notice for the benefit of all concerned?
 Respectfully, your obedient servant.
 BENJ. F. LARNED,
 Acting P. M. C. The paymaster General is rapidly pre-. pairing rolls, and will send paymssters into the several States, and, for the conven- fence of claimants, as far as practicable, to the places of company enrolment, for the payment of the three months extra pay authorized by act of Congress of the 18th July, lS45, to all volunteers who have served in the war with Mexico, and have been honorably discharged, and to the heirs of such as have died in service. It is earnestly recommended to all not to sacrifice their claims, the department being determined to settle without delay, and secuie to the claimants the full benefit of the law. The regulations governing the department in the payment of this gratuity are in preparation, and will be published, and sent to the different States, for the information of all interested.
 We havc often wondered how proprietors of large factories managed to keep the female operatives in such good order. One of them posted up the fol- lowing notice :-sI will admit no segars nor good looking men within these walls. One sets a flame among the cotton, and the other among the gals"

 01T Many of the brave volunteers who served in Mexico, will remember that a bill was introduced in the state senate ol Tennessee to allow the volunteers from that state to vote in Mexico, but so great was the hostility of the whigs of Tenaes. see against the War, that every mothers son of whig voted 'that no volunteer ecu d vote while engaged in such an unjus, and unrighteous war" This incident vii be recollected by many of the volunteers from Tennessee And it will be further recolected that the very same men who expressed such hatred for the warare the very same mep who are crying out thatthe Election of Gen. Taylor is the only thing that can save the country!l

@ Yancey in his tirade against Gen. Cass and all those who do not think pro- per to endorse bis hcresys--in his last pamphlet of zs pages, says "thc election ot Gen. Cass, will be permanent evil, and the election of Taylor temporary evil. It is the duty of every good citizen, so thinking, to Bc' guiltless of bringing either upon his country"
 Now, if the election of boih these great men are to be evils, to get over the perpe- tration of such evil deeds, we would mere ly advise Mr. Yancey and all lik, kidney, to vote for Mir. Van Buren. His election, perhaps, will be considered as great rainbow in tho political horizon by these few sore heads.

The Crops &c.,

Inc onsequence Of the incesentra rains thai have fallen during the last two months, we hear many complaining of their cot ton running too much to weed, and moi forming sufficienuy-and in some instan ces many of the.squares have drcped off. This giving, we think, an unfavorable prospect for large cotton crop. The cotton has sa4T, been quite late opening which can be accounted for, from the ex- cessve wet weather. Corn crops have given fair prospect of good yield, though it is more than probable if it continues raining, that great deal of it will rot in the fields, therefore farmers should gether their corn crops as soon as possible.

attributes of sovereignty, then, and not until then, will d power be found adequate to the settle ment of this much con.royerted question.
 Mir. Chairman, the argument based up. on the immortality of slavery can hardly avail in the discussion of this question of power. We have no right to set up our selves as cencorum morum. We are sworn legislators, acting under written consti- tuition. If there is sin in slavery, be the consequences upon us and our children We ask none of that commiseration so gratuitous]y rendered. Give us our rights, and we will spare your tears. Streaming from any other eyes, we might regard them with respect but we are not stran- gers to the history of the past we have not forgotten that they who now upbraid us with the sln of slavery, and piously thank God that they are ''not as other men n''--slave-dealers slave -stealers, ol even as these Southerners--were the first to import the slave, the first to sell the slave, and pocket what they now call tie price of iniquity. Let them not forget that the poor publican, who "slnote upon his breast and confessed himself; |. sinuel found more favor in the sight of Him who scans the motives of men, than did the pround Pharisee with all his affected sanc- iity. Ichooze, sir, to take my moral les sons on this subject from another and high CT source. History informs us that when the Messiah came upon the earth, slave.
