REyiEw beg leave to entreat the attention Of the
public TO that Work. to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progr hitherto, and to express the hope that

We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the Importance of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend

MTHE REpIIRIIfs

The following article in the Republic of Mon
day, seems to remove all doubt of the determine
ton of the President not to rebuke the effort now
in progress to defeat the Compromise of the Sc
nate, by pressing his recommendations as an alter
native policy. 1t is a course which may be fatal
to the Compromise, and which, if persisted in,
will undoubtedly prove fatal to the Administra-
ton.
From the Republic.
The admission OF California into the Union as
veregn State and the course to be pursued New
Mexico and Utah, more than any other measures now
occupy the time OF Congress and the attention of the
public
Pursuant to the provision of the Constitution which
requires the President from time to time to recommend
10 Congress such measures he may deem necessary
and expedient he in his message of the 2st of January
last, recommended the admission of California into the
Union as separate and Independent measure, leaving
the residue OF our newly acquired Territories subject to
existing laws till they should respectively form State
governments and apply tor admission also.
1t could not be expected that all parties in all
tons OF the country, should unite this or any other
measure touching the subject; yet the Presidents
commentator was at once received with favor by a
large proportion OF the people, and is is believed still
generally acceptable to them.
But difference OF opinion as to the true line OF poll
cy on kindred measures, and difference also to the
mode OF carrying out the affirmative measure recon-
mended by the President, and which is very generally
admitted to be expedient and right, have caused it to
nger in the two houses of Congress- and it has yet re-
ceived the action of neither The President, however,
performed his duty to the measure in recommending
it early to the consideration of Congress But an i'm
preston have got abroad that he now wavers
or has Wavered in his opinion on this subject This, we
well advised, is unfounded in fact He remains and
it properthe public should understand that he remains
firm in the opinion that the course of policy which he
recommended vas, and is under all the circumstances
the best practicable, and that he has never for mo-
ment, changed or modified that opinion. The misap-
preension on this subject far it exists ought to be
corrected SO that the Presidents official Recommended
ton may not, in effect be Withdrawn, or modified ior
him, without his authority.

BENTON AND CALIFORNIA

The st. Louis Times publishes two letters of
Mr.. Edward M. Samuel, Wing citizen of Lii
berty (Mo.), to Hon. w. P. Hall, which make
curious development concerning the course of
Benton, in regard to California. In the first
letter. dated 9th January, 1850, Mr. S. repeats
a conversation which took place between himself
and Benton in Liberty:
Il remarked to Col. Benton, whilst in Liberty last
summer, that thought the people of California II do
not recollect including New Mexico, but probably
did, would form Constitution and State Government
and apply Tor admission into the Union State He
replied promptly, am opposed to 1T, there too
much Of conglomerated mass there and it is not the
old regular aoay of doing things. This is the sub
stance OF his reply, but it was much longer
"P S. The conversation with Col. Benton was in
the presence OF several gentlemen and hence there
Improperly in my speaking OF it,"
On the 10th of April Mr.. Samuel wrote to Mr.
Hall as follows:

paper, dated Goth March, is hand For full under

versation alluded to- Col Benton was sitting under the

it at the time, and spoke of frequently but was also
pleased to hear that he intends to favor the admission
OF California State. Ihave seen any of the gen.
tlenen who were present at the time the conversation
took place, but have doubt it will be recolected by
some of them, who Col Bentons9p political friends
know have heard of his warmest supporters say,
that ne conversed with him upon the subject, whilst
in Liberty, and understood him be then opposed to

HEAVY HAUL.-About seven o'clock Monday night,
Mr. Chalkley heard pretty considerable hubbub in

situated on Theatre Alley. Prompted by laudibe

stepped up to OF the windows, and looked in upon
the inmates of the whence all the noise proceed
ed. He saw four negro fellows and couple OF white
women in the room, engaged in rare carousal. All
drunk, with plentiful supply of liquor still on
hand After looking few moments, he raped at
the door, demanded admittance and upon entering the
room, arrested the whole company, and marched them
off to the cage Yesterday they were brought up to
the Mayors Court where the nights carousa was duly
investigated. couple of the negroes claimed to be
free, but failed to produce their registers; the other two
were slaves-all were ordered below for correction

BRANDRETHS PILLS, AND THE BODY'S
WASTE-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth of the Brandrethan System would entreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts:
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the rami
icaons Of the system, not only imparts strength and
connuaes te but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part OF the animal machine Il the
blood therefore is pure and healthy the body which is
formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But there be in any part Of the body any Affection such
as bile or ulcer, bruise, the blood circulating
through that part takes up impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system This
is the often of sudden death persons Of full hab
it, afflicted with bes, and who use medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life as bereft by Lightning Now
this be remedied-the Brandreh Pills will, if used
at these times, take all impure matters from the cir
culation, and the general health, the time,
they are curing the local affections
Oh how important it is find that this subject
be well comprehended, it would many from tedi-
GUS times Of sickness, and often their services
to their friends when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim.
