SHocKoE HILL BURYING GRouND.-The reader will
observe from the notice of Mr. Mchaels that portion
of the lots in the contemplated addition to this Buyng
Ground have been laid off and are now ready for seec
ton. We are glad to learn that the Committee on the
Burying Ground held meeting Monday evening, and
determined to purchase from the owners of lots adoin
ing the Southeastern boundary sufficient ground to
enable them to square the Buryng Ground, and thus
render its boundaries symmetrical. The limits of the
cemetery to Third street will remain as at present laid
Oft, but we learn that South and East of Third stree
the grounds will be laid off by gentleman of acknow
lodged taste in such matters and will be rendered orna-
mental and beautiful. Here the uniformity of green
mounds and plain marble slabs will yield to the introduce
ton of flowers and architectural taste The thick
grass and rank weeds of the older portion of the
terry, will present striking contrast with the new Sec
tons, with its fragrance of thousands of blooming
flowers, outveing in richness variety and culture, the
choicest gardens in city. After while, pillared
domes, antique obelisks Gothic monuments and other
varieties OF vault architecture testiyng that the living
not unmindfu Of those who have passed away will
decorate the lanes and alleys of the section. 1t is
beautiful sentiment which leads us to decorate with
flowers and ornaments the crumblng remains Of fra]
mortality, and render sacred to the memory" OF the
dead, and hallowed to the memory of the living the
last resting places of those miss from our side Let
the sentiment receive encouragement.

frage, and adopted a plan which sacrificed the
principle of the former, and secured the evils, with
none of the benefits, of the latter The pale of this
rule is large enough to admit the most Ignorant
and yet excludes large class who are as worthy to
have voices in the government as the wealthlest
landholders. We go, therefore, for the extension
of the suffrage to all resident male citizens, twen-
ty-one wears of age, who pay tax into the Trea-
| surv. and 1--WE are disposed to add) can read and
! Wrie.
| Connected with this important change, is the
abolition of the present absurd practice of double
uoting, which is Justly the rdcule of other States.
There can be no reason, why one man, owning
hundred dollars worth of land, lying in four differ
ent counties, should have four times much
power as another man who owns ten thousand dol
lars worth of land in the centre of county. Yet
this anomaly is sanctioned by the present consti-
tution and its unjust operation in practice is seen
every year. When the possession of land con-
fers no superior title to vote, the privilege of
doubIe-voting will of course be denied.
The system of judicial elections is another SUBJ
ject of the gravest Importance to which the atten-
ton of the people ought to be specially directed
in choosing delegates to the Convention. With
every predisposition against radcalism, in all its
forms, our best consideration of this question has
led to the conclusion that good will result from
referring the election of the circuit Judges at least
directly to the people. We have watched the
proceedings of the Legislature for the last five
years, and have been present at most of the cleo
tons that have taken place during that period 1t
is our deliberate belief and testimony thatno mode
of election, that has been suggested with any Sc
robustness, could be worse than the election by the
Legislature. Party considerations and personal
intimaces almost invariably control the choice,
with little regard to qualification Whereas, if
the people take the matter in their own hands, their
interests will be so much involved in the election of
good Judges, that we believe they will not often be
deceived. This is certainly the conclusion which
the experience of Mississippi justfes. The va
lue of an upright and competent Judge is thing
which the people Of too many of our circuits have
come to appreciate 1t may be that some of the
elections would be made to turn upon political dis
tinctions, buff it be provided that they shall not
take place at the same time with the elections to
the Legislature and to Congress, we are convinc-
ed that this result will be witnessed far less often
than under the present system. If the judicial
elections occur on the same day with the ordinary
political elections the party leaders will always get
up general tickets, and thus prevent fair express
sion of the popular will in the choice of judges
But if the judicial elections be kept separate, we
are convinced that the people will make wiser Sc
ections than their representatives in the Legsla-
lures do now.

BRANDRETHS PILLS, AND THE BODYS
WASTE-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth the Brandrethian System we would enreat
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 ram
icaons of the system, not only imparts strength and
connuates life, but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part OF the animal machine. II 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, even bruise the blood circulating
through part takes up impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system. This
is the often Of sudden death to persons OF full hab
it, afflicted with biles, 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 ceases as i bareft BY lightning Now
this can be remededthe Brandreth Pills will, if used
at these times, take out all impure matters from the cir
cuaton and the general health at the same time

Oh how important it is to find that this subject

The New Orleans papers of Tuesday, the 2sth
ult, give tidings of Gen. Lopez precipitate retreat
from Cardenas. The Delta is non-plused, mor-
fed, astounded; and tries hard to vent its wrath
upon Gen. Taylor for resolving to stop the exped-
ton. Unfortunately the Delta has not even the
consolation of being able to say that the govern
ment vessels prevented the success of the absurd
adventure. The rascally Cubans who would not
rise for their own freedom must perforce be the
objects of indignation.
The proceedings of Gen. Lopez, after leaving
Savannah, are involved in mystery. His arrival
in Mobile has not yet been announced.

and half degrees below the compromise line, and re-
leases all the territory lying north and west OF from
the obligations of that compact
So in reference to California, II trencnes again on
the spirit of the compromise of 1920 by excluding sla
very on the Pacific border, as low down as the sd
parallel of north latitude. am aware, sir, it will be
said that this exclusion of the people of the Southern
States below the line 36deg 30min in California is the
act of the inhabitants of the Territory and not the act
of the Congress Of the United States; and therefore
that it is no violation of the Missouri compromise on
the part OF the latter
Sir, shall make argument to prove that Cal
iforna in the whole extent, well the territory EN-
braced within the limits Of the new States as that with
them, is yet, in the political relation this Gov
ernment of a Territory"-a Territory within the
meaning OF the terms OF the constution-the prop
ery of the United States, and the act OF such OF the
inhabitants the coast assembedin convention anu
formed constitution has not the slightest effect to change
that relation. California throughout the whole ex-
tent was a Territory when that constitution was
formed, and is Territory yet nor mas: mat consuu-
ton the least validity whatever, and never can have

arms, ratified by act OF Congress ana tis as

We have had the question presented IN the same
form in regard to the Territory OF Oregon. The lnha-
bants OF that Territory in the absence OF any govern

The Baltimore Suns Washington correspondent pub
fishes the following extracts from letter of the Chief
Justice of a Southern State to Mr.. Clay. We pre-
sumo the writer to be Judge Sharkey, OF Mississippi
who was President OF the Mississippi Convention which
first recommended the Nashville Convention
"The intimaton Of opposition on the part OF the
administration toward the union OF measures which you
PROPOSE while it increases the socitude and doubt with
respect the fate OF these measures, occasions III this
quarter, as far learn no less surprise than regret
speak, however, tormySelf that the plan OF admitting
California, and doing nothing for the Territories, not
only presents no adjustment from which future quiet
may be hoped for but has not the merit OF meeting
the present exgency since neglects the obvious and
pressing duty of providing government which we are
bound to provide for the territories.
1t is no settlement OF any question with view to
the mutual satisfaction OF dissentent parties but Is the
mere consequence OF failure to make such settlement.
And by leaving the territories without suitable 60
yernment would encourage, and must lead las In the
of California; to revolutionary movements, tend
ing to INSTRUMENTATION and dsorganzaton in the terri
tories themselves while in the States the dissen
tons whnh prevail, are to be continued and re-
newed There may indeed be sufficient grounds for the
admission OF California separate measure, should
the others fail But to leave the matter in that cond-
ton, should be regarded a dernier reS0rtthe re-
suit of necessity to be avoided if possible
Similar sentiments unquestionably prevail with the
great mass of the Wing party of the South Such as
oppose the Compromise Bill object to it, for the most
part because they think it is not sufficiently favorable
to the South but the substitution of the Presidents plan
for is what the Southern Wing party cannot and will
not sustain The old line of the Democracy are also,
we believe by large majority, for the Compromise, but
many OF the Calhoun captains and lieutenants oppose

We have unofficial returns from Frederick and
Tazewell, which increase this majority to 81 ,o34.
The other counties not heard from may reduce
this about 800; so that the majority for the call of
Convention, in the whole State is about 26.5Oo.
We presume the Governor will not much longer
defer his official proclamation of the result of the
popular decision. The election of delegates will
take place on Thursday, the 22d OF August, and
the Convention will meet in Richmond on Mon
day. the l4th of October.

having left there the 2lst inst Her officers report
that about thirty Indians, with their families, had come
into Fort Myers, in order to have interview with the
Seminole delegation, preparatory to their departing
West. They expressed their determination to follow
Billy Bowlegs no longer. Gen. Twiggs had talk
with Billy Bowlegs. The latter expressed wish to
remove west, and asked for ten days time consult
with the chiefs. Gen. 7. said he did not care much
for the result OF their deliberations, that he leaving

lHpoRTAN r FROM THE FRoNr1ER-By the kindness
favored with intelligence from the frontier Of grea
consequence 10 our fellow citizens, although it may be
considered OF no by ourmbecile administration
1t appears that General Twiggs, in the military road
he has laid out from Tampa Bay to Fort Pierce, on
Indian River has somewhat encroached the line
stipulated by Gen Worth as defining the Reservation
under the notorious ArmiStce effected by him. This
encroachment includes two military posts connected by
some four miles Of road recently made by the govern
ment force: We learn that Billy Bowegs gave notice
in due diplomatic from to Gen. Twiggs that unless
troops removed from within the Indian line, they
should be driven from by force. The point threatened
being weak and our gallant General being hampered by
want constructions, he has been compelled to retire,
and construct new military posts and a new road.
