Ii is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet In the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement of their felIow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence OF Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-tbat it has been
warm unremitlng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
80 is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.

llshed requires that the subscription be paid al
toays in aduance.

Britain have become invested with degree Of inter

ground between the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers and the elabo-
rate and ponderous teates to be furnished by the his

therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention 10
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered TO subscribers. The following is

TINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-our Portraits and Biographi-

llusrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful aten-

public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged at great
EXPENSE "a collecting Portraits TOR National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior TO any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment. of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
commentator. His daguerteotypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the livpg countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avigpon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste 10 be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope !; il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life Will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their SPIRIT and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring mon

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious non, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in oommendable an
undertaking, that is publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping tke
illnsrioas Of the Union togcther consolidate it
still more firmly.

SECTIONAL DEMOCRACY.

We ask our Democratic brethren to ponder upor
the declaration made by Hon. CHARLES ALLEN, al
caucus in Worcester, very lately. There was ne
choice for Representatives in that town--thre,
tickets having been run. 1t was therefore seen to
be necessary, in order to "whip the Whigs,' tc
form more rigid coalition. To induce the Free
Sellers to " cavei in" Mr.. Allen declared that here
after there were 70 be no other parties in the
try but the Free Democracy and the Pro-Slavery
Wings. He said:
The Free Soil and Democratic parties would be in
the next Presidential election that the Democratic party
carrying every Northern State, and the Wing party
carrying the Southern States which, if So proves the Demo-
cratic party to be the Northern and the Wings the Southern
party
Are our neighbors thus prepared to give up their
nationality and sink into sectional party Are
their late victories obtained in The Northern States
the result of Free-So assistance One would
suppose SO from their conduct in Ohio and Massa-
chusetts-from the late harmonious union OF Hun
kers and Barnburners in New York. If these Co.
afions are carried much further will not the honest
men of the Democratic party soon discover where
the true Union party is - ConmecticW Courant.

FROM THE RIVER OF PLATE.

BY way of England we have advices from Rio
to October l5 from Buenos Ayres to October A.,
and from Montevideo to the 9Th The news from
the laterplace is not very full but it appears to
contradict the statement received by late arrival at
New York that Gen. ORIBE had capiulated to the
allied forces. The accounts now state that Gen.
Orbits position was most critical, he being nearly
surrounded, many Of his troops having deserted,
and Zen. URouIzA and Count D'CAxrAs concen-
tratirg them on San Jose. 1t was considered GER
tain nat he would shortly surrender.
A later from Rio dated on the 18th states that
the fat of Oribe would be decided in a few days.
UrquiA was in the neghborhood of Pedras, and
Oribe lad been forced to abandon his outposts with
but a FAINT resistance. On the 9Th Gen. URoUIzA
dispatched Gen. Medina with l,7OO men to Bueno,
to prevent Orbe's retreat in that quarter. The lat
ter was surrounded on all sides, and confined to
limits ofabout half league. On the evening of
the 9th $500 infantry were to leave Montevideo to
join Urqtza, who was awaiting only this reinforce
ment to give battle to Oribe.
Three treaties have been concluded between Bra
zil bnd the Oriental Republic of IIrnunap- viz nf
alliance of limitation of territory, and OF peace,
sAity, and commerce.

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.

Our political friends in Massachusetts have been
disappointed in their expectation Of redeeming the
State from the two opposite factions who are there
united against the Wings. The Coalition have
elected majority Of five members TO the House Of
Representatives of the State, which will enable
them to fill the vacancies in the Senate, and also to
elect Governor and other State officers As evi-
dence of the manner in which the Democrats raj
lied to the support of the FreeSoilers, it is men
toned by the Boston Atlas that not single one Of
the indomitable Democrats of the last Legisla-
ture who voted against Mr.. SUMNER has been again
returned. Such is the "National' Democracy Of
Massachusetts

MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION.

We learn from the city Of Jackson, the capital
Of the State, that on the 18th instant the State Con-
vention of MISSISSIPPI passed the Union Resolu.
tons reported from the Committee of Thirteen, a
copy of which was published in our paper Of
Thursday, some slight amendment having been
previously made to them.
These Resolutions declare, as the reader will re-
member that the People Of MISSISSIPPI abide by
the series of measures sanctioned by Congress
in 1850, usually called "the Compromise" and
explicitly declare the Opinion of the Convention
that the People of MISSISSIPPI will abide by the
Union as il is, and by the Constitution Of the United
States without amendment.
The equally strong declaration against the pre-
tended hight of Secession on the part of State o.
States, as subversion of the Union. and amount
ing in its effects and consequences to Civil Re
volution, was passed by vote of seventy nne yeas
to seventeen nays.
We heartily congratulate our readers on this ex
preston, which we believe to be the true one, O.
the sentiment Of the People Of the State in which
originated the Nashville Convention, whose pro
jects, had not the sound sense of the People been
awakened in time to their real character, might have
led to the downfall of that Union to which every
Southern State has in one way or other manifested
its intention to adhere.
The Mississippi Convention probably adjourned
on the 18th Of the month.
