Certificate of VIM. J. McAlpine, Chief En-
gineer, Dry Dock Office, U. States Navy Yard,

To whom 1t may concern | have been inform
ed that the Newark and Rosendale Lime and
Cement Company have purchased the Quairies
and Mills lately owned by Hon. Hugh White,
at Whitesport, Ulster county, N. Y, and have
been asked to state my knowledge of the cha
racter of the cement made by Mr.. White. |
have used a large quantity of cement, (lOO,-
600 barrels) on the enlargement of the Erie
Canal, at and near Albany. A considerable
portion of this was manufactured by Mr.. White,
and was uniformly of a most excellent charac-
ter; indeed, it was the best brought to that mar
ket. The tests before using We're very severe,
and but very few barrels were rejected. have
been informed that the cement sustained the
same excellent character on the Croton Aque-
duct. VIM. McALpINE, Engineer.
We have made use of Whites Hydraulic
Cement, as now manufactured by the Rosen-
dale Lime and Cement Company, on the Gas
Works at Reading, and can strongly recon-
mend it as a most excellent article of cement,
for strength, quickness of setting, and for it's

THE SIGNS OF THE TINES.

1hE SlCNS Or IlE lMbS'
1t is only The madness Of party zeal that can
hide from the minds Of tue Southern people,
the runous dangers lI,a, threaten US at present
by reason Of the Abolition movements. No
longer is aboliiiolsm an abstract dogma Of
religious and pol ilical enthusiasts. 1t has as
sumed an active energy. which it is necessary
to meet with decision and promptncss, or 1t
will break down our great body polite. 1t is
now something more than moral lercr: it is
powerful political engine, which reckless ma
iori,y are using in order to encroach upon our
sacred Institutions.
A recent manifestation OF this spirit, strongly
foresladowing future events, is the Resolution
of MIR. Gott, of New York. in the lower House
of Congress, inslructins the Committee on the
District of Columbia, TO report Bill prohibit.
ing all traffic in slaves in said District. The
Resolution passed the House by vote of 9S
to So.
That this Resolution, hnving virtually Tor
its obicc, the abolition Of slavery in the District
of Columbia, should have been proposed and
passed at time Of the greatest aueudc, would
have been sufficiently insulting; but that 1t
should come forth aud receive so strong sup
port in the present agila,ed state Of the country,
IS piece of daring eflronlery and outrageous
insuI, 10 Southern feelings, which subject its
authors 10 tho charge of maddered ferocty. 1t
is the savage fierceness of the Tiger, which
conscious Of his mastery, yet over eager to
gorge his appetite dcvours the lamb when The
Lion is in his power. What must be the ex
tent of that fanalicis,n which developes itself in
results SO grotesque and anomalous?
Fearing, however, lest their final plans nigh
be endangered by too early display Of thel'
powers, with hmsey guise Of generosity
these schemng fanatics allowed Mr.. G's Reso
luton, on motion for reconsideration, 10 be
resc inded. But their victory was complete
They have gained all they wanted. They have
made trial Of their strcngth-and they harc no
Jccn found wanting in the balance!
! As further signs Of the times,
The New York Legislature has adopted, b,
large vote, Resolutions against tho extension
of slavery in New Mexico and California, ant
expressed the wish that the Slave trade in th'
| District of Columbia shi ri be abolished. In
slrucllons have been given to the Stale Senators
in Congress 10 use their efforts 10 carry these
Resolutions into effect.
The Legislature of Illinois, also, has passe'
Resolutions insiruclng the Senators from tha
State. 10 vote for the Wilmot Provlso, &c.
Add TO these things tic vast quantity Of abo
lition Petitions from every quarter Of the North
ern and Eastern States, with their twen.
thousand signatures, flooded into 'Coagsess
with the most unblushing impudencei the an
pry debates on the subject of slavery in Con
nress; the combined and systematic attempts o
The free soilers to carry the Wilmot Provsr
and the virulence of the whole Northern Pres
apains, the institution Of Slavery consider
these things, and they will give some clue
the events Of The future.

negative pregnani-a negative charged
with an aflirmalive-a denial Of The pro.

al the same lime an affirmation that sIave-
