generally, without reference to the old par
ty lines of Wing and Democrat. Arrange.
ments are now in progress, promptly to in
insure the issue of a paper under the title of
SOUTHERN PRESS.n
for the conduct of which, suitable Editors
have been engaged, who will also receive
The aid of a number Of eminent and able
contributors.
There will be both a tri-weekly and a
weekly lssue-the latter to contain substan-
italy the same matter as the former, and in
tended to reach those points of the country
whose mail facilities are limited.
a Daily Issue will be added hereafter,
Should it be deemed advisable or necessary
by the press and people of the southern
States.

but will embrace on its broad sheet the
General News of the Day, Domestic and
Foreign, by mail and telegraph CONNER
clal and Agricultural Intelligence, Literary
Criticisms, Original Essays, Literary and

ceedings and Debates in both Houses of Con
gress, as well as the action ofthe local Leg.

This article is now universally acknowl.
edged to be the most healing and efficient
application for diseased or decaving lungs,
or any portion of the leshy or muscular
parts of the human body. Its medicinal
and preservative qualities were understood
by the Egyptians in the early ages of the
world, and no doubt now exists among sci
cntiic men, that the preparation used in the
embalmment of bodies, was composed prin-
clpally of this ingredient. In later ages, it
was found to be in universal use among the
a%borigines OF America, and at this day it is
their principal, and, in fact, only medicine
for an unsound state Of the lungs, or any
approach to it., Those who are acquainted
with the history Of this hardy race of men,
know that a ac0th from Consumption is
unknown among them. The medical fac
ulty in all countries appear to have become
aware Of the great healing properties of this
article, and are NOW Introducing il in their
practice. DIR. BnehNn, of England, DIR.
Crichton, of st Petersburg, DR., La Prieure,
of Paris, and the distinguished DR., Cooper,
have been in the habit of combining it with
other articles in their prescriptions, and with
entire success.

PROCltESS OF THE UNITED STA les.
The following table, showing the period
at which the several States have been adj
mi,led into the Union, tells more in relation
to the progress of the country than could be
told N volume Of crude speculation. The
first thirteen Of the list are the immortal
States of the revolution. Vermont was the
.irsl State east Of the Alleghanies to be ad-
milIed, and Kentucky the first Stale west
of them. We are not intimately acquainted
with the history of Vermont, bot we know
something of 'ha, Of Kentucky and the
west; and we undertake to say. that none
of the colonies OF ancient or modern tunes
encountered more dangers and difficulties
than the early settles of Kentucky, and
few Of theS as many as were encountered
in every State now comprised within the
Mississippi Valley.
When we remember that at the close of
the revolutionary war there was not, prob
ably. as many as one thousand white men
in all The western States. and when we
consider that population of sixty thousand
souls has been required by law to eniille a
State to admission INTO The Union, the dates
at which the States of the great valley were
admitted exhibit rapidily vf improvement

1question the business of the decision
so generally acquiesced IN, that April is
the most changcable and tickle Of all the
months. Her sunshine and showers may
reign by turns, day by day, or, sometimes
even; hour by hour, but with these her
ickleness stops, it is all comprehsnded
in alternate smiles and tears-each con-
dtion one Of beauty and interest, and
each adding charms TO the other. But
March-ftful, frolcksomc, clustering,

hurricane roaring-now da'k with frown
ing clouds, now warm and bright with
sunshine, now chilling the earth with
the fierce breath OF the north, now drench
ing it with rain, now locking the streams
with ice, and now with balmy breath
dallying with the southern slopes and
calling up from their winter retreat the
early flowers.
A week OF the month has passed. II
brought with it all these changes and
their variations February went out
with unusual miliness, leaving violets
in the garden, and beautiful blossoms of
the trailing arbutus in the wood, and
buds on the maple, and blue-birds chat
terIng among the yard trees, to make a
merry welcome to March; and he came
arrayed in sunshine. and smiled for an
hour or SO, and then putting on one OF
his "airs" he blew his first day madly
away, as If TO make us sensible of his
presence. Since then he has been calm
and stormy, cold and PLEASANT - each
succeeding hour differing from all that
had passed before. But still it is a glo-
rious month; it sends the farmer to the
field with his plough, and the fisherman
to the river with his net, and makes us
all sensible

And chary of her E,vors, will, ere long,

GWe have elsewhere said that the
course Of our State Legislature upon the
question now agtating the public mind in
this country, has been unwise and uncalI-
ed for. The Law enacted by it, repeating
all laws against the admission Of slaves into
the State, is a Instantaneous law it is
contrary to our long established policy,
and it is adverse to the wishes of a large
majority OF the people. We are not SIN
gular in these opinions large number
of the papers of the State entertain them,
and there will be demand hereafter by
the people, that the laws which existed
before the agitation Of this slavery ques-
ton, be restored. And their gassy Reso-
lutions also, playing into the hand of Mr..
Calhoun, and against the views OF the
President-who certainly is southern e.
nough for the people of Maryland-would
have been better left unconcocted.
