The South.

The Pennsylvania, in reply to the taun,s
Of a tory paper, which asks why 1.-THE Democ-
racy of the North are the natural allies of the
South"-gives the three reasons which fol-
low because the Democracy are the party of
the Constitution, have always defended it, and
have always recognized the equal rights of the
south under it, which the Wings have always
practically denied ;-because the Democrats
have always as a body been opposed to agi,a-
tors and abolitionists, and have submitted to
defeat rather than depart from constitutional
and national duties because the Democracy
have always stood by those who have been a..
sailed by the common foes Of our Gamma,
country, in any and every section of il.
1t might have been added, because. i, n.
long run, the South has shown itself Tho
staunchest friend to the true construction Of the
Constitution againt all latltudinarians and con-
solidationsts, who, if they had been allowed
full sway under Wing rule, would, by thi.
time, have nulli6ed the Constitution in some
Of its more most important provisions.

Gen. Scott.

The following, from the Savannah Republi-
can, wing paper of good standing. will give
our readers some idea of the opinions of the
South upon the movement in favor of Scott
Candor requires to say to orr northern
brethren once for all, that they may nominate
Gen. Scott, (and possibly elect him, though
We doubt it, but that no party at the South
can take any part either in his nomination or
election. No one southern state would cast
its vote for him, except perhaps. Kentucky.
and we hope she would not. Either Mr.. Fill
more, Gen. Cass, MIR. Webster. Mr.. Buchanan,
Mr.. Douglass, or Mr.. Butler. would carry every
southern state against him. We need not
say, Wings as we hacc been and Constitutional
Union men as we now are, that we should re-
joice at it. 1t may be replied. we know that
Gen. Scott will abide by and enforce the Com.
promise measures. But the fact that he comes
forward under the auspices of Mr.. Seward. of
New York. and Gov. Johnson, OF Pennsylvania
in neither of whom the South has one parti-
Gle of contidence--is enough to condemn him
him to utter defeat in this section of the con.
tederacy. The South can never Cooperate
with party in which such demogogues and
indictments are officiating priests. They both
claim to be Uuion men, Just as their CO la
borers ia this latitude do and yet they lend
all their influence to the stirring up of strife
and revolution"

COMMENTS ON THE WHIGs-The American
Telegraph, neutral paper at Washington,
thus alludes to the GaIphinism of the Wing
administrations
" The Wing party has been saddled, as ought
not to have been, by its leaders, who have been
exalted to power with the odium which attach
es to the allowance of the Galphin claim. the
De la Francia claim, the Barron pension claim,
the Ewing claim, the Chickasaw claim, under
the Taylor administration; and the Gardiner
claim and the Mears claim, under the Fillmore
administration. 1t is not enough for the MEM
bers Of the administration to prove ungratefnl
to the great Wing party that made them what
they are, by going after and attempting to con-
ciliate modern Democracy but they must

The Belfast Journal and Judge
WOODBURY.,

The Belfast Journal of the 18th, publishes
an elaborate and able communication, enumer-
sting the qualifications and claims of Judge
WOODBURY. for the Presidency. and vigorously

the New England democracy to press his NOM
ination with unaninity.
We concur fully in the views of the writer,
a. also in the remark of the Bangor Democrat
that "the New England democracy have in
Judge WOODBURY., man whose just preten-
sions are inferior to those of no Presidential
aspirant in this broad Union. and it will be
time enough to abandon him, when National
Convention shall determine their preference in

Bath, Thursday, July "a, 1851.
New York federalism.


The federaTists in the New York Legisla-
ture, have been doing things at the recent
special session Of that body, with that peculiar
regard for monster mouopolies, and highland
ed disregard for the wishes of the people, for
which they are everywhere eminently dis,in-
guished. They have gone ON reckless of the
Constitution with all their schemes for the Law
sh expenditure of public money. The great
est OF these-the enlargement of the Erie Ca
nal,-has received the signature of the Gov
srnor. Three attempts were made to intro
duce and pass through the Legislature a bill
regulating the duties Of public officers, the de-
sign II it being to restrain the democratic At
sorney General from putting an injunction up
on the whole affair, until rs cons,itutionality
could be tested before the Courts Of the State.
Finding that nothing could be gained by this
maneavre, since restraining laws could not be
made To override the special provisions of the
CONSTRUCTOR the money changers took the
matter into their own hands and attempted to
bride the Attorney General by the offer of
$40, 900 if he would not bring the su,. In
this, too, they failed; and we believe now, in
despite Of all their no, haste in Legislation, the
federal party will be obliged to submit their
doings of the canal enlargement, to the action
Of the people
Maddened with their disappointment here,
they have turned their attention to districting
the State for Congressional representatives
under the new census. And we Judge they
have proceeded with the same disregard of the
wishes of the people on this as on other sub
jects. The following from the Journal of
Commerce, exhibits, in measure, the beau
ties Of their gerrymandering
90 The bill which has passed the senate
shows some pretty tall carving. The object
evidently is to fuse the democratic strongholds
as much as possible, and to economist the
whig s;rongholds and so by yielding few
districts as hopelessly democratic, TO secure
the rest of the wings. Thus for instance, the
strong democratic counties of St. Lawrence
and Herkimer are ranged into one district !;
Delaware and Oisego into another !; and the
4th, 9th, 10Th and I4th wards of this city into
another. Each of these districts usually give
a democratic majority of $500 or 5000. An
other operation is to swamp small democratic
county by associating it with large whig
county; as for instance, Seneca and Yates
with Ontario Steuben with Livingston War
rem and Hamilton with Washington and Sara
toga. The small county of Kings-small in
area we mean-is associated into three dis
tricts Brooklyn constitutes a district by it.
self; the rural townships (Which are mostly
democratic) being associated with the demo-
cratic counties of Suffolk, Queens and Rich
mond; and whig Willamsburgh with the 9TH
and 18th wards of New York. Under the old
apportionment, no county was divided except
New York, and that from necessity; and no
district was made up of parts of two or more
Counties
