Demands of tho Slave Interest.


1t appears that portion of the South
are not satisfied with the doctrine of Mr..
Cass, that it is in the power of the Ter
ri.ories, or people of the Territories to
exclude slavery from their limits. Mr..
Brown Of Mississippi, protests against
this; denying that slavery can be exclu-
ded at all. Hear what this Scion says:
'.Hc understood Gen Cass as going
to the extent of giving the people Of the
Territories the right to exclude slavery
during their territorial existence, and in
deed before government of any sort had
been established by Congress. lie un-
derstood the doctrine as advanced by
Gen. Cass to be. that the occupants of
the soil where no government existed
as in New Mexico, California, Dessert,
&c.-had the right to exclude slavery;
and against this doctrine he raised his
humble voice; and though he might
stand alone, without one other southern
representative TO sustain him, he would
protest against it to the last
SIN the late presidential canvass. men
of all parties had assailed this doctrine
The wings charged Gen. Cass with en-
pertaining these views, and the democrats
had indicated him against the charge.
The doctrine was universally denounced
by men of all parties in the South; and
now we were startled with the intelli-
gence that Gen. Cass and Gen. TAYLOR
both approve it. For himself, no earth
ly consideration should keep him silent on
such question. No consideration per
sonal to himseif-no party ties nor po-
litical obligations, should seal his Ii ps.
when his country was about TO be be-
trayed and sacrificed. He had denoun-
ced this doctrine before his constituents
he now denounced it before the House.
He would not consume time, and pre-
vent other gentlemen from speaking, by
going into an argument on the subiec..

from their ignorance, and we are an
swered that they will ultimately progress
to state of intelligence, purity and
happiness equal to those who pass from
here under more favorable circurnstan-
ccs. Swedenborg says there are some
spirits so ignorant that they do not know
but they are Che ones called for. when
another is meant. This may be so. We
are inclined to think it is, forIwe have
made attempts to initiate the signal
which we always get when we cal! for
friend Nearly every person who has
called frequently for some particular
spirit gets a signal whereby That partic-
ular spirit is known. This signal is DIFF
ferent for different spirits, and although
it is frequently attempted VIC have never
known these signals initiated. Ne 90
not think therc=is danger of BEN de-
ceived by ignorant spirits when person
becomes acquainted with these commu-
nications The sound made by an igno-
rant spirit is quite different from the 9TH
ers. While the sound made BY iDtel!i-
gent spirits is clear and lively, the sound
fled, like the striking of the hand on a
carpet We are confident that, with due
caution and care, intelligent and upright
individuals will get correct ansgers.--
Much depends upon the mind and dispo-
sition of persons. at the time OF asking
the questions, for, as all the Universe
goes by aflinities, it needs pure mind,
calm thinker and deliberate questioner
to get communications from spirits Of a
higher order"
These spirits, or whatever they may
be, it seems have a theology, if such 1t
may be called, as i is inanifestly proper
that spirits should have. If il should
seem rather scant pattern, the reader
will please lay the fault at their door or
their expositors', at all events not at ours
Whether the sounds whereby the follow
ing answers were communicated were
clear and lively or low aud mufiied,'
this deponent saith not. We only quote
from the book, which says:
"Their general theology is that Of
Davis, Swedenborg, and others, who
have claimed to receive their impressions
from spirits. They generally use the
terms higher and lower spheres instead
of heaven and hell. they say that all
persons pass to a condition superior to
that which they occupied here, on their
leaving the body. Thousands OF cues
tons have been asked on these points,
and have been answered by spirits who
purported to be Emanuel Swedenborg,
the "Seeress of Prevorst, George Fox,
Lorenzo Dow, Galen, William E. Cham
ming, Nathaniel P. Rogers, John Wes-
ley, Samuel Wesley, and many others.

Cotton, &C., &c.
The "City of Rocks" as this city is denomi-
mated, has suffered during the last six months,
than any other city in the South or West. Two
heavy freshets in the Cumberland river, in March
and April, overllowed the lower parts Of the town,
driving the inmates (whS were generally of the
poorer oass) from their habitations, to seek shell
ter in the more elevated portions. Nashville has
seen her best days, unless her capitalists will
arouse from their lethsrgy, and invest their sur
Plus funds in something save shaving notes.
Nashville has grown 20 her present eminence by
her profits trade, which trade she is losing
every Gay. Ii is but few years since this was the
market for the produce of Middle and East Ten
nessee, Southern kentucky, and North Alabama.
The railroad from Chattanooga TO Charleston, South
carolina, has taken OH the Alabama and East
Tennessee trade. The Improvement of the Green
nver has monopoliZed that of Southern Kentucky,
while the railroad now in course OF erection from
Nashville to Chattanooga will be certain TO de-
prive her Of what little she has left from Middle
Tennessee. To insure this, Memphis is deter
mined TO have her share, and is making rapid pro-
gress IN establishing road that will tap the main
road 10 Charleston, and thereby draw a large por-
tlos OF he trade TO the ''City on the Bluff" Now if
the capitalists of Nashville, her properly holders
do not take time by the forelock," real estate in
tive years will go down TO a very low estimate
You nsy ask me how they can prevent it. an
swer, by going Immediately into the manufacture
OF cotton and iron, for which few places in the
Southwest has greater facilities. Coal and iron
can be had almost the door, and of the very best
quality. Cotton can be had in any quantity, but
the apathy displayed by those who could save this
place, will be the means of desroyingit Now, |

The corporation, with the assistance Of the pro-
perty holders, are making efforts to I'LL up the low
