That our readers may see how rapidly
our export of breadstufs and provisions
has 'tgone on augmenting" under the
system of GLOW duties," which substi-

that produced at home; and that they may

At the close of his remarks Mr. ii. gave notice
of his intention to offer amendment to the resolu
tion proposing to refer that portion of the message
relating to the territories, to instruct the Com
mttee Territories to report bill for the protec
ton of the citizens of the United States in their
property, of whatever description in the territories
acquired from Mexico by the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo.

From N, Burtimor, american.

For twenty years distinguished Senator from
the South has been laboring assiduousy TO consoli
date a Southern party. This purpose he has never
lost sight Of, has he permitted the country 10
lose sight oft; for il has formed the theme Of bis
discourse and the palpable object Of his political
pursuit since his rupture with General jackson
An attempt TO give organization to this Southern
party was made in 1882, 80, but Il failed. The
leader in the movement may believe that the time
has now come when success Is within his reach
Bot he has never bad the confidence Of the South in
this business. The nucleus Of his party never
grew beyond n nuclous-a nucleus 10 which the
elements would not attach themselves nor furnish
the means Of accretion. II he should be Of the
opinion that he has arrived at last at that crisis
which has so long eludcd him, il would perhaps be
well for him 10 pause awhile, and endesvor TO az
certain whether he is most likely to catch the
crisis, or the crisis 10 catch him.

THE DIFFICULTY IN THE GEoRen LEeIsLA-
TuRE.-Tho Mllcdgcvillc Recorder, Of the 10Th
inst, contains plain statement Of the present diff.
fculty in the Legislature Of Georgia. II appears
that the Democrats in a majority in the repre-
sentative branch Of that body and have il in their
power at any time, when their forces are mug
tered, to command quorum without assistance
from the Wings. portion, however, Of both
Wings and Democrats are absent-leaving the
Democrats in attendance still the power 10 pass
any measure when the Wings in attendance are
present, but not enough to form quorum without
them. This incomplete Democratic majority wish "a
pass a law gerrymandering the State in such wise
that the Wings viii not only be deprived Of power
for the present, but for many years TO come. The
latter rathef than submit TO this injustice, refuse
TO unite with the former, and impose upon them
the responsibility Of passing such measure by
themselves alone--a thing they can accomplish, II
they bring their absentees into the hall. The
Democrats, knowing tho odium which will attach
to their course, lift is not countenanccd by at least
a negative vote Of the Wings, decline TO muster
their orces and hence are responsible for all the
delays in Legislation which may occur, as well AZ
the expense arising therefrom.

Executive Nominations.

We mentioned, day or two since, the
circumstance that the city was honored
with the presence of a considerable num-
Der of patriots, who are animated by the
laudable desire of serving the country in
various public capacities, instead of the
gentlemen whom General TAYLOR has Sc
lected for that purpose; and to bring about
a result TO them so desirable, they are la
boring with the Opposition Senators TO
procure the rejection Of the nominees TO
whose posts they aspire. II seems TO us
that the persons engaged in this under
taking are proceeding upon singular no
ton Of the feelings and sentiments of the
Executive. II strikes us as an extraor-
binary mode of concilating the good will
and securing the favor Of an administrs-
ton, to unite with IFS enemies in an effort
TO break down the friends whom il has
distinguished as objects Of its signal favors.
II is possible that, in some instances, mis-.
takes have been made in filling the many
Offices in which change was made neces-
sary by the change of administration.
This inconvenience was unavoidable. Il
was incident TO the discharge Of the duty
devolved upon the Executive of equalizins
federal favor among the two great parties
into which the people of the country are
divided. The power of appointment il
the most difficult and delicate attribute
which pertains to the Executive office
and the ordinary endorsements attend
ing its exercise we're increased and exas
perated by the peculiar circumstances
under which General TAYLOR entered tn,
Presidential chair. He found every con
siderable Office in the country-in fact, al
the patronage Of the Government--in tn,
hands Of the party which had been over
thrown by his election.
Mr.. JEFFERSON found a state of thing
similar in kind, but far different in degree
when he assumed the duties of the Elk
ecutive Office, in 1901; and he prompt,
avowed his determination TO make removal
until there should be an approach to equal
ity in the distribution of executive ia
vor between the two parties. He declare,
the duty TO be painful one, but il wa
enjoined by every consideration of justic
and fairness; and il was unhinchingly per
formed. The Federalists Of that day Dor

The Artillery fired salute at sunset, and by
midnight the sound Of drums and martial music
ceased, and comparative quietude prevailed
throughout the city.
FIRE-woRKs.-A brilliant display Of fireworks
took place on the Capitol Square at night, under
the supervision of Captain Dimmock.
FINIs.-The Theatre was literally packed from
pit to dome, and the audience is said to have been
almost, if not the largest ever within its walls. The
President did not attend as was expected. The
Masonic ball at the Union Hotel is described to have
been most brilliant affair, and trust that some
who was present will furnish us with descrip-
ton Of the gay scenes in which the President fig
ured.

but then it is to be considered that every
branch of the public service--exceptins
the army and navy, which are happily be
yond the reach of party mutations-wal
filed by those who had resisted his cleo
ton; that system of exclusion and pro
scription had been enforced against the
Wings, embracing at least one-half of the
people of the United States, as monopo
LIKING and memorable as if they had beer
anlinferior caste, political parasites con
stitutionally ineligible to posts of respon
sibility or emolument. As this system
had been maintained with the utmost rigol
for nearly quarter Of century, it was
natural that the applications for Office, on
change Of administration, should be nu-
merous and well supported.
For nearly every place of importance,
within the gift of the President, there was
a plurality of applicants--the rivals, in
many cases, being equally competent,
equally respectable, and equally well sus-
tanned. 1t is an unpleasant, as well as an
ungracious task, to distinguish between
competing friends, with similar claims to
favorable consideration; but we contend
that this task has been executed, gener-
ally, by President TAYLOR with eminent
tact, judgment and discrimination. Per-
sonally, nearly all the applicants were
unknown to him. He had, therefore, to
rely exclusively upon the representations
of friends. These representations were
in all cases carefully and impartially
weighed, with the single purpose of doing
justice, so far as might be, to individuals,
keeping in view, as primary considera-
ton, the intelligent and faithful discharge
Of the public service. We do not under
take to say that, in every instance, the
best man has been selected. But we do
aver that, at no period of the same dura-
ton, since the organization of the Govern
ment, have the laws been more efficiently
and honestly executed, or more diligence,
activity, and fidelity on the part of the
agents of the Government been mani
tested, than since General TAYLOR began
the work of reform in the several Depart
ments. And, from this indisputable fact,
it is fair to infer that he has been fortu-
nate in selecting his auxiliaries to admins
ter the laws and conduct the public affairs
Of the nation.
In this state of things, will men who
claim to be the friends of the administra-
ton undertake to array the opposition in
the Senate in factious hostility to the NOM
nations of President TAYLoRl Or will the
distinguished gentlemen who compose that
opposition consent TO minister to the ma
licious qualification of those who have been
disappointed, by rejecting their successful
competitors, without any public reasons,
or any adequate cause whateverl

determinations are to be reached or crap
pied with until they are developed in the
shape Of practical propositions. Congress
is not debating society for the discus
sion of general principles. The duty OF
Congress is legislation. Our difficulty
with such reasoners as Mr.. billiard,
who call for I" BARRIERS" and "guaran-
tees" and insist upon demands" and
settlements" is simply this-we can
not get at what they call for. In one
breath Mr.. billiard assures us that by the
very convention which formed the Con-
stitution, this question, "the very question
which now occupies u.s." was disposed of
by ga perfectly definite arrangement"
brought into the very body of the Consti-
tuition" In the next breath Mr.. billiard
calls for barriers and guarantees, and makes
it a sine qua non that there shall be legis-
lative recognition of the right Of the
southern States to full participation in
the late acquisition of territory" Now,
if this question is settled by the Constitu-
ton, what barriers or guarantees or re-
cognitions are required ! If there is a
perfectly definite arrangement Of this very
question wrought into the Constitution,
in heavens name why disturb and weaken
its moral power by talking about guaran-
tees and recognitions 7 If the question is
disposed Of by the Constitution, how can
itbe affected by legislation
The only practical suggestion of Mr..
billiard is the adoption of the Missouri
Compromise line. And how does Mr..
billiard propose to settle the slavery
question south of that liner Does he in
tend to withdraw it from the jurisdiction
oithe States that may be formed in that
tGritory' Does he mean to say that this
PARTON Of the territory shall have slaves,
whether it wants them or not' If he does
MT 60 so far as this, does not he leave the
shvery question as "open" in all that
territory as it is left by the proposed plan
ofPresident TAYLoR1 Is it not President
TAYLoR's plan over again, with the excep-
tin that slavery would be unavailingly

power, if we could indulge Northern or
