Gould we spare the space in our columns
we would be pleased to give our readers
the Presidents Message, as a part Of the
history Of the times.
There are two subjects Of great imPor-
lance, on which ii is very distinct and dc.
cided, the Tariff and Internal Improve
ment. He recommends a modification OF
the Tariff and advises specific instead Of
ad uatorem duties.
He is a strong advocate Of internal I'm
provement by the general Government
in its largest sense-thinks it proper and
legitimate for the federal Government to
undertake the improvement OF our roads,
Lakes, Rivers, Greeks &c. &c.
No restrictions or limitations, are made
by him to the exercise Of this dangerous
power.
We have no doubt he expresses the sen.
timent Of the great body Of the North on
both these questions.
At one time the Northern Democracy
by the force Of party ties and under the
controlling Influence Of its Southern wing
took a reluctant stand against the Protec-
tive principle, and against all works of In
ternal Improvement, except such as were
of a national character. Now, however,
both parties North democrats as well as
Whigs,) have discovered that it is to their
interest to unite upon these questions and
make a business Of p~lundering the South.
The tariff and Internal Improvement
interests are essentially the same, and are
mutually necessary to each other.
The more money is expended in Inter
nal improvement, tie greater the necessity
for a high Tariff, and thus the friend of the
Tariff is from this interest, the advocate
of lavish expenditures for public improve
ment.
In fact 1t is the interest Of the Tariff
Party to favor every species of extrava-
GAGE on the part of the Government, as
they thereby render it the more necessary
TO have a higher rate of duties in order &c
meet the current expenses.
The entire North with a few exceptions
among her elder statesmen, are, we feal
committed to this policy.
The history Of our appropriations show
that three lourlhs Of the money given tt
works Of Internal improvements has teer
expended North Of Mason & Dixon's line
and the Nor,h know that they will be in
t%erested pecunlarily in future, as they hav'
been in the past.
All the indications Of the times 20 10
show that parties will scon be entirely sec
tional and geographical and all future as
pirants will take good care to throw them
| selves on the stronger side,

The Difference.

The City Of Boston was recently
visited by some citizens Of Georgia in
search Of their fugitive Slaves.
These Georgians were pIacarded in the
news papers, their dress and clothing and
persons particularly described, and hotel
keepers and others cautioned against them;
warrants issued for their arrest and deten-
ton on various frivolous charges and final
" they were compelled to leave the city
without their slaves, and with no aid ev-
tended, to them either from the authorities
or the citizens.
A few days afterwards George Thomp-
son the negro abolitionist from England
makes his appearance in the city Of the Pu-
ritans.
AT the first public meeting which he at
tended some show Of d%ecency and repect
for the South seemed to be manifested
among The better portion Of the audience
and Thompson did not make a speech. A
second meeting however was gotten up for
Georges benefit and he delivered himself
Of an abolition TRADE against Slavery,
which has been published by ,he Tribune
and other prints, and he is wined, dined
and lionized,
This we presume is another reason why
we should sing hosannas to this Glorious
Union"

VIZ have received Governor Quitman's
message and the proceedings of the first
three days cf the Legislature We much
regret that we have not room this morning
for copious extracts from the messags, aud
some of the resolutions introduced into the
Legislature. Both are in the highest de-
gree satisfactory to every Southern heart.
Gov. Quitman expresses the solemn con-
viction that "the Union oil the States has
been so grossly perverted from its original
purposes, as to render its further c%onlinu-
ance incompatible with the honor, the pros
perity, and the safety Of the slaveholdirg
States, unless some correction Of past ag-
gressions, and some additional and mole
etlectual guarantees for our future protec-
ton be obtained from our associates in the
conlederacy.", He is willing TO make an
effort to secure these latter, but says that
he has little hope left that they will be
yielded by a majority flashed with recent
victories, and encouraged by divisions
among ourselves; 10 case Of their refusal,
nevertheless be says the only efectuaI
remedy lis to be found in the prompt and
peaceable secession of the aggrieved
States" We shall give further extracts
rom this message in our next.
The Legislature seems to be fully up to
the Governor. A resolution expressing
satisfaction in the late adjustment and
deprecating any action on the part OF the
Legislature looking to resistance, was de.
feated in the Senate by a vote of twenty,
Eve to FIVE. The House stands about ff.
ty-four for resistance 10 thirty-one for sub
mission.
Resolutions have been already inlro,
duced strongly centuring the little paciR,
Gator" (FoorE) and expressing the opin.
ion of the Legislature that the interest.
and honor Of the State of Mississippi art
not safe in bis keeping. A motion to LAY
them on the table was defeated by a vote
Of ffty-one to thirty four. Montgomer ,

More I~nterfarnnce.

The last Congress having abolished the
Slave trade in the District Of Columbia
seems but 70 have whetted the appetite Of
our Northern friends for still further de-
mands in that District.
BY a law now in force 10 Washington
the City authorities have power 10 fine and
imprisoh free negroes who do not give
bond and security, that they viii not be-
come a burden to the Corporation.
This is a saIutary law and calculated to
Ielieve the City from the expense OF main
tanning a large class Of free negroes on
their Pduper list.
Some Of the Union oring Journals Of
the North are crying out that it is mon
strous outrage that a free citizen should
be compelled to submit to such an indigni-
", and are demanding It's repeal. Con-
gress having once yielded to abolition de.
mands in the District will be compelled 10
do so again, and yet we are told that the
late Peace Measures have settled all
questions connected with slavery forever

GEN. JAMES EaMlLroN, Of South Car
DINA, Georgia, Texas and all along
shore, has addressed a letter TO the citizens
Of his native State, dissuading them from
separate secession at this time. The right
Of each State to secede, he regards as I'M
questionable, He endeavors to apologize
for the late Congressional Compromise.
but in the conclusion of his letter he re-
deems himself by taking the only ground
that a patriot can take by saying that
whatever bis State may do, he will 60 with
her, and battle in her cause.
Gen. Hamilton gives no countenance
to the doctrine maintained by some Of the
extreme Submission men, that their first
allegiance is due to the Federal Govern.
ment, and thai if their own State should
secede. It is still their duty TO cling on tc
the 4 Glorious Union"

zes fully the right Of each Of the sover
eign parties to the compact to judge foi
itself Of its infraction and the mode anc

Pace OF PoRK.-We hear a good deal
oil inquiry as to the price pork will bear in
this market this season, but as vet there
seems to be no Fixed price. Some of our
farmers are asking as much as IS per
hundred pounds, though our impression i
that it will not bring more than S4. This
impression is derived from Conversation
with gentlemen who are competent to rive
an opinion in such matters. We have
heard Of a sale in this county of a large IoI
Of hogs at 1873 per hundred gross.
Our Middle Tennessee exchanges seem
to think that the price will range with
them at from SIS TO S4.
The great number which will be butch.
cred in the hog-raising States Of the West
where the price will not exceed $3.50. will
materially affect prices in our Market

The Ability Of the South.

The following is taken from the New
York Journal Of Commerce, a paper Of the
first commercial standing in the United
States, and one which has dared in the We
nv face Of abolitionism TO do justice to the
South and 10 warn fanatics of the wrongs
they were perp~etrating. Itremarks in con
tinuation OF an argument upon this sub
ject:
Again it is said by some that the South,
With 100000 slaves, would be incapable
Of contcnding with the North, or any for
eign nation. So far from this, il is our de-
liberate opinion that the South would be
more powerful as an independent nation,
with her slaves than without them. In
carrying on war, a multitude Of men are
required as teamsters, and for other man
ual labor. For many purposes, negroes
would be more useful than white men, 10 a
Southern climate and being necessarily
scattered, and in the presence Of an armed
force, they could not make the slightest re-
~sistance, if disposed. But it is probable a
great many of them would side with their
masters from affection and choice. The
South has double the white population
which Tie whole country had during the
war Of independence; then she has also a
mighty army in her sickly climate (srckly
to northern constitutions and wide extent
Of territory. The South could, if neces.
sary, raise a force of 100000 fighting men:
sufficient to resist any army that could be
sent against them from any quarter. ID
short, we do not believe that there is a ma.
ton on earth that could conquer the South
The North could not. Great Britain, will
al her power, could not. Neither do ",
bell We that a wal with the South woult
give freedom to many slaves. Those nea
the frontiers would Of course be early sen
into the interior, beyond the reach Of scout
ing parties and abolitionists. The ENG
Iish, in the war Of 1925, in spite Of al
their Efforts, captured or deceived onlr
about 5000 slaves, for which they after
wards Unidentified the owners.

she is herself IA character which might be
held up as pattern for society generally;
it is because she has set such an example

purity Of life, Of generosity, Of amiability of
manners, of modesty and humility under
the Intoxicating assailmcnts of an adulation
and homage such as is only rendered to
kings, and queens, and princes; it is because
in fine, she has elevated tire position Of the
teachers and professors, and cxccutants Of

respect OF all mankind tow ards her and her
art, that we thus break through custom for
the purpose of bidding her farcwell,--on
