SOUTHERN MERIDIAN.
At a State Convention
Of the Democrats Of the
State of Georgia, ON the
18th Of this month, for
the nomination of a can
didate for governor, the
following resolution was
adopted:
"Resolped, That Gen
eral TAYLOR, by organ
ling his Cabinet ,cih a
majority Of men knoirn to
be Favorable to the princi-
pies Of the Hilmof Pro
sis0, &c, has given just
cause of alarm to the
friends of southern rights
which should excite in
the breast Of every true
hearted son of the South
feelings Of the deepest
indignation and the most
determined opposition"

The STATE lNrEREsr.-The Philadelphia North
.4merican says, for the first time since the re-
sumption of the payment Of the interest upon her

August next, redeem her honor without hav-
ing recourse to a temporary loan to make up
deficiencies. The amount on deposit to the credit
OF the State Treasurer is now 100000, and this
sum will be increased on Saturday next by the
payment, on the part Of the county Of Philadelphia,

NORTHERN MERIDIAN.
At a Democratic Con-
vention held at Albany
in Netc York, on Satur-
day last, the following
was one of the resolu-
tons adopted, among a
number ofothers equally
false and malignant:
" Resolped, That the
pretence of anti-slavery
by the present Wing
Administration, WITH A
sLAvEHoLpING ExEcU-
TIVE AND CABINET, &c. +,
are fictions which all
fair-minded men must
perceive, and all true
Democrats condemn and
oppose"

The Union yesterday had another fam
ing eulogy upon the Hon. TRUMAN SMITH;
for next to the approval of good men, the
hatred, abuse, and calumny of the vile
and profigate are the surest indexes of
worth. II is needless to refute the charges
Of corruption which that journal utters
against Mr. Smith and the Cabinet. The
violence with which they are Illuminated
to the world is enough to show that they
were conceived in iniquity. 1t is the Gus
tom of the Union to insinuate a calumny
or tell an untruth one day, and the next
take what itself had said as fact proved
whilst both the insinuation and the proof
are its own base coinage. This is the
course it has pursued against every Wing
who has abilities to attract the admiration
of the country, and whose heart is in the
cause Of good government. II denounces
ever conspicuous opponent as either fool,
or knave, or liar; thus giving the best
evidence that it is itself all three.

AID TO HuNGARr.-Capt G. De Korponay, a
Hungarian, who commanded company of Mis-
souri, volunteers in the Mexican war, proposes an
organization Of his countrymen and other patriot
exiles, with the cooperation of sympathzing Ame-
rcans, 10 aid the struggle of the people Of Hungary
for liberty And for that purpose he recommends
central committee in New York to rase legion
of 800 men and $5OO.OO0 in money, by means of
correspondence and agencies-probably not being
aware that such movement would be u violation
of the neutrality of this country.

keak the force and power of his name with the
Tm-heared and ncorrupnble masses
Vhey know too well how to count the value Of
such filthy outpourngs from the political sewers, to
be disturbed thereby. They remember that Wash
Ington by universal consent one Of the purest men
of his any other age, exposed to similar
abuse because he was firm and exact in the dis
charge of his Executive duties. They know every
act OF his Administration was censured, and he
himself, Father of his Country" as he was de-
cried as monarchsl, and denounced as guilty of
inclvIsm, and the patron of kingy forms and
ceremonies. They know that Jefferson, the great
apostle OF democracy the victim of innumer-
able hbels, and his measures rldiculed in the pas
quInades OF Bryant, the editor of the New York
Erening Post, now prominent character in the Goa
luton against General Taylor's Administration.
They know that James Buchanan, after charging
Madison with Involving the country in dis
graceful war; from which il was extricated by
more dlsgracefu peace" was stopped for sheer
want OF time only, on certain memorable occasion,
from recounting ~ all the other blunders Of that
Democratic administration" They know, too, that
Thomas Richie, of the Richmond Enquirer,
now of the Washington Union, was the foremost
among those who let loose the walls of wrath
Jackson, when, in obedience to the voice of his
coontrymen, he at first stood candidate for the
Presidency. They know that the same Richie,
who derides Gen. Taylor men Of self-respect
would scarce deride clown, and daily charges him
with surrendering his high trust to g an irrespon-
sible cabal, scofed at Gen. Jackson in terms less
vulgar, sneered at his qualifications for the presi
de nal Office, and " deprecated his election as curse
upon country Yes, the people know that
Washington, the hero Of the Revolution Jefferson,
who draughted the Declaration of Independence;
Madison, who carried the country safely and bril-
llantly through the war of'lSl2; and Jackson who
won for himself, in that war, the title of the hero
of New Orleans," each and all of them felt the
sting Of political ypers They could not expect.
therefore, TO witness lack Of kissing and venom
when the hero of Pao Alto, Resaca, Monterey, and
Buena Vista, came, by their authority, to pnt down
the 81 oilsmen and corruptonists whom power had
made nsoent and reckless. Let these lIbellers
rail on, then, without stint they have power to
injure The people, in very loathing and disgust
of the vile coalition which they pander, will rally
around the Administration and bear it successfully
through its trials in proud defiance of its malicious
and revengeful assalants

ANOTHER DEFALCATION.

We understand that PATRICK COLLINS,
Surveyor of the port of Cincinnati, re-
moved by President TAYLOR, proves to be
defaulter to large amount. His defal-
cation has been exposed by the exercise
Of the removing and appointing power.
II has been seasonably exposed. If he
had been suffered to remain in Office few
months longer, his case would have been
that of one of President TAYLoR's officers.
The adoption and continuance in Office of
an appointee Of the late administration is
equivalent to an original appointments
far as Executive responsibility is con-
cerned
Loud and long have been the jeremiads
of the Opposition press over the removal
of Patrick COLLINS. Fierce have been
the anathemas uttered against the sbutch-
ers" of this deserving man. Through a
thousand paragraphs has flashed the CLEAN
Of the descending axe, by which he was
(metaphorically) decapitated. A thou
sand jibes and jeers-witticism immune
rable--eloquent invectives--wha wretch
ed waste has there been of all these in the
case of this meritorious martyr!
Now, by Locofoco logic, it would have
been better that President TAYLOR should
not have exercised the removing power,
than that, by the exercise of it, this defal-
cation should have been exposed. The
old line peculators used to think it wise
to retain man in office who had his hands
full, because he would not want any more.
This was the argument that was wont to
stagger the reasoning powers of Mr.. Sec
rotary WOODBURY.. He thought it was
good logic-s'rather than otherwise"
What an answer is every such case as
this to whole broadsides of rant and decla-
nation about removals from Office! With
out the change of ''men," such "mea-
sures" as have been taken by these Office
holders can never be unravelled. Not
peccadilloes, merely, but great peculations,
lie concealed in the dust and cobwebs of
official chambers, until the new broom
comes that sweeps them clean

The Ohio Statesman SAYS:

unwitnessed,) and might lead to consequences.
You may refer to it If you think proper, but with
out names"
The letter from which the above extract
is taken was written on the 18th of June
On the next day Machin was found in his
room dead, his brains blown out, pistol
by his side, and on the table long letter,
purportiDg to be signed by himself, ac-
counting for his suicide. All of these cir
cumstances, if proven to be true, as the
Post represents, tend to show that Llo-
rente is an agent of the Spanish Govern
ment, and that If the unfortunate Juan
Rey has been abducted, he is a participant
in the act. II is also incredible, the Post
says, that this alleged violation of our soil
is private act, but must, if committed at
all, have been undertaken at the instance
of the Government.
After the above was written, the south
ern mail was received, bringing New Or
leans papers to the 18th; and it is curl
Gus thing that the whole press of that
city, with but one solitary exception,
comedies in thinking that the Spanish
Consul has not justified himself, and that
there is every reason to believe that he
was at least, in dereliction Of his duty,
cognizant of the abduction.
An article on the subject in the Plea
yuae charges Don Carlos de Espara with
being the improvised physician who parti-
cipated personally in the affair; and states
that force and intimidation were distinctly
used to get him into the carriage and on

Perils of the Cauawl.

The facetious editor of the Albany
Knickerbocker gives the following ter
rife description of storm in the "raging
canawl"
The equinoxial storm was somewhat
extended in it's ravages, reaching south
as far as Georgia, and west as far as the
Jordan level At the latter place it
overlook the scow Rip Van Sout, stove
her hen coop, took the bonnet off the
stove pipe, and blew the mainsail, (the
near horse into the canal and foundered
him. In the height of the gale the cap
tain took in the weather gage, dashed
himself to the fore topmast setting pole
and plunged overheard for assistance.
After the most untiring cxernons he
reached the shore--purchased two faith
orns of fresh longitude, new bow line
and two bushels of oats, returned TO his
nearly despairing crew, bent on a new
horse, set sail and reached Schenectad,
in safety. The owners of the r. v. S
we understand, intend presenting hin
with service Of plate (six cups an,
tsassersl for the heroic achievement.

l Crazy mee get up some queer
ideas now-and then. We saw one once
that attributed his ruin to a very slngu-
lar cause-having been broke down
in his attempt to roof the earth. he
used for arches, second hand rainbows,
over which he spread web of silk
netting. To render the whole water
proof he filled the interstices with shoe
pegs, when as bad luck would have 1t, a
long drought set in, which so shrunh the
pegs that they All fell out. To remedy
this disaster he hired man to sharpen
them at both ends and sell them for oats
Just as his oat crop was finished, dowr
went the grain market till oats were
worth less q bushel than pegs.-The con
sequence was, he had to saw them al
off again, and sell them to a shoema
Ikcr who two weeks afterwards failed
and paid wax-end on dollar.

Tue CHAMBER OF DEATH-A rRAG-
MENr,-~How glorious is the dying
chamber of the ChMstiap L is the ve~
ry union of time and eternity, meeting
of the living earth with the angels OF
heaven. The place is holy: for it is flil7
ed with those ininistermg spirits, waiting
for the soul departing from this perish1ng
world, for the everlasting habitations Of
the redeemed But glorious as this is,
it shrinls before the greater glory OF
Him who is present. Jesus himself IA
present, and the Holy Spirit is there to
finish the work Of salvation! All! how
different, could we sec the threng IN
the chamber of the unsavcd depart
ing SOUL If words cannot express or
imagination conceive the glory Of the
former, neither can the horror of the
latter be supposed, where the bed Is
surrounded by friends eagerly waiting
for their prey. Rut it is not IN this sol
emn hour only, that thcsc unseen spirits
are beside US, They are constantly
present, for good or for evil, in the hus=
tie of the world, or the solitude of the
lonely. By day ana by night we are
surrounded by this unseen host, waiting,
during all its pilgrimage, on the soul Of
man. Go into the sick chamber. Mark
all the routine of the sick bed, the lruit7
less visit of the physician, the profound
sympathy of friends, The prayer Of the
minister, too often desired only 10 CLOSE
the last scene. Ask, then, if there be
not, TO one and all, fast-coming eter-
nity, message from the Lord, in tha
house, saying, This night thy sopl
shall be required of thee;" and th!s yes
ry night shall that soul see holy and
just God, and hear the question wheth-
err Christ has been indeed precious, and
his redemption been indeed the chief de-
sire in life, and the only hope in death:
