The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1852-05-20

We know nothing of the authority for the
declaration so confidently made, that Gen. Com
mander will attend the Democratic convention
"and assume 10 represent the State" It il GER
tainly true, " he says, that South Carolina will
appoint no delegate, unless every Indication OF
public sentiment thus far, has been delusive.
But there is very material error in the above,
which we desire to correct. Mr. Calhoun
never did support Gen. Cass for the Presidency,
but was VIGOROUSLY and warmly opposed to his
election The State voted for Gen. Cass
against his opinions and wishes. And it must
further be remembered that she voted for him,
not as her CHOICE but as a choice OF evils, and
because it was thought he would be compelled
to choose councillors more safe for the South
than we had any right to hope for from his
antagonist. There was neither Partially for
Gen Cass, nor much confidence in his principles
There is vastly less now or rather the last re-
mains of both have been utterly swept away.
Reference is made to Gen. Cass's recent ex
PLANTATION of his then famous Nicholson letter
How the writer can imagine that this expana-
ton will make him friends in the South, we are
at loss to conjecture. If he had put the con-
struction on that letter four years ago, which
he has recently done in the Senate he could
not have got a Southern vote. Every where in
the South it WAS commended, and he was careful
not to contradict it, that his assumption of pow
er on the part of thu people Of the territories to
establish fundamental laws on the subject of
slavery was meant only for the people in the
act of legally forming themselves into State.
He now assumes for his letter, the construction
which his enemies in the South put upon it.
But Gen. Cass's subsequent career in the Sen
ate has been so marked with demagoguism,
equally silly in the form of its manifestations
and reckless of the peace of the country, that
the former Indifference and distrust has been
changed to something like adherence and
loathing.
There is no party or fragment of party in
South Carolina, as we fully believe, that would
think it worth the trouble, to choose between
Gen. Scott and Gen. Cass for the Presidency
They are very much alike-a couple OF selfish
cyclists, with no more principle than those
daughters of the horse.leech which continually
cry, give, give To defend our country IL the
true religion, said the heroic Hector. To be
President, is the true and full sum of my politi-
cal principles, say Scott and CASE. What honest
man will sacrifice his time and selfrespect by
attempting to decide which of the two rotten
appeals is the least disgusting?

Remarks of Mr.. Hale.
IN SENATE,

FRIDAY, May Ia.
Mr.. HALE said In some discussion which
occurred between my friend on the left, Mr..
MANGUM, and the Senator from California, Mr.
GwIN, some catechising and cross questioning
took place in regard to the position which dis
tinguished gentlemen occupied in reference to
question heretofore agitate6s and being agi-
tated, but not yet settled; and the question was
how these gentlemen stood on those issues; and
the Senator from California, whose remarks
have not now before me, suggested that the
views of the candidate supported by the Senator
from North Carolina, were sound and national
views on the subject of the compromise; and
then the honorable Senator went on to say, as
understood him, that the party with which he
was associated would present to the nation a
candidate pledged to maintsin these issues in
violate, and that nobody else could receive their
sanctiou--
The PRESIDENT. The Chair must arres,

California and North Carolina spoke with the
unanimous consent of the Senate, without which
their remarks would have been out Of order.

"wHo KILLED COCK ROBIN 2

"WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN Z.
There is highly diverting controversy 60
ing on in Congress, not as to which party IL
most economical, but which is least extravagant
They remind me of two persons, both having
previously lost their reputation entirely, settling
dispute about presidency, by proving one
worse than the other Both parties have been
so VIGOROUSLY extravaganza that neither pre-
tends to economy, ard both are now holding a
post moriem examination to ascertain not
whether Cock Robin is dead, but who killed
him. They had better try to devise means for
bringing him to life again. There is not the
least doubt that the government of the United
States Is the most prodigal in the world. 1t
wastes almost as much in idle projects, political
donceurs, and indirect bribery, as the monarchs
of Europe do in maintaining their state, and
supporting their power. But then we live under
free government, and cannot pay too much for
good thing, notwithstanding the old proverb.
CIVILIZATION.
Cortez, In letter to Charles the Fifth, in IL
Iustration of the advanced state of society
among the Indians of Mexico, says that "they
begged in the streets like civilized people," A
modern traveller, whose name have forgotten,
having been a long time wandering in savage Of
desert countries, was at length cheered by the
sight of gallows, which he says convinced
him he had got among civilized Christians
would seem, therefore, that beggnry and tn,
gallows are the great badges of civilization.
SPANISH cRUELTIEs IN SOUTH AMERICA
How does it happen that while the worlt
rings with the oppression and barbarity exer
csed by the Spanish corquerors ofSouth Amer
lea on the Italians, the Spanish provinces of tn
new world are full of Indians, while those o
England in North America are almost depopu
lated am convinced that the declarations o
Las Casas, on which our impressions on thi
subject principally rest, are greatly exagger
ated. Whoever will examine the edicts of tn
kings of Spain and the proceedings of the coun
Gil of the Indies, will find that the policy of tina
government was in the highest degree mild an
paterna towards the Indians. That the Span
ish adventures acted on different maxims, an
very often paid little respect to the edicts of tn
sovereign or the directions Of his council, Their
can be no doubt; but the preponderence of Ir
dian population in all the Spanish possession
in America over the whites, seems to furnis
decisive proof that they could not have bee
previously almost exterminated, as is the ger
eraJ belief of all who have derived their impres
sons from British literature.

From this statement you will see there an
increase production last crop of l59, l9l bbls all
kinds, or nearly SO per cent.
Now, Mr. Editor, what has become of this in
crease production; is it surplus now on hand
There is the bright side Of the question. South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mis-
sissippi, all raised considerable quantities of
turpentine in 1851, which would seem to swell
our apparent supplies to something near an extra
crop, as surplus, and should further add, that
the crop of 81 found stock of 1850 on the market
of spirits alone at of least 10000 bbls in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia to say nothing
about Europe. What is now the state Of those
narke,s' | suppose in the three markets alb owe
stated, there may be 1 500 to 1900 bbls spirits
ir first hands, and | see from last accounts
there is none in Europe The production
has increased in the United States in the
last year, at least so per cent the price
20 to 25 per cent. and the consumption abodt
60 per cent. Now what do you think Of our pros
poets
The stock on hand al this time liz not sufficient
for an average consumption Of over 3 weeks, and
if there is continued fresbet through the sum-
mer, a full supply cannot reach market before
August. Could give the actual exports Of the
two last crops. the sums total woald be consider
ably enlarged but this is sufficient; and will now
add, should you find spectators or any other per-
sons disposed to doubt the above, say to them I

F The Mobile Tribune saws

Whenever fugitive slave is caught in New
York and restored to his master, some of the
merchants and Others Of that city make great
stir, and, by the most pitous appeals, manage
to raise money enough to purchase the negro
and set him at liberty. Sometimes they do not
succeed, but generally make the attempt.
"Now, it strikes US that the moral effect of
this sort Of busiaess is decidedly bad; and We
are certain that it springs from a motive which,
down here, is not considered sound or estimable
In the first place, it induces unobserving men
to believe that there is great friendship for South
efn institutions in New York and thus they
fall asleep in the notion that we have only got
to let our Northern brethren manage this affair,
and all will be well.
SECONDLY: The custom prevails nowhere
else in the free States; and it ia suspected that
it obtains in New York simply for mercantile
purpose. If trade can be kept in old channels
by a few men occasionally getting together and
contributing each ten dollars or so. why it is ar
investment which is decidedly profitable
but we contend that il is calculated TO in
crease in the North the odousness of the fupi
tive slave law, and thus: Their purchasing o
fugitives (some three or four per annum) pro
ceeds on the presumption that both slavery an.
tho law are evis-bnt the latter, being a law
may not be cvaded except indirectly, !. C., b.
paying to the master of the fugitive the pric
Of its evasion and notification. II the propert
of . poor man be seized in New York for debi
no subscriptions of this sort are set on foot
and because around him every one recognize
the justice Of the law by which he is subiecte,
to the penalty. If the popular opinion in New
York were in a condition to do in this case wha
is done in the case Of fugitive slaves, that opin
ion would soon be sufficiently strong to wor
4 change in the laws, and the poor mans pro
perty would then be exempted from attachments
The precise effect will occur in the other case
Those monied interferences with the law ind
cate that it is unpopular, and only waits a cor
venient time to be set aside. The whole bu
ness proceeds on deep-seated objections t
slavery and the law which,n the case of the latte
are made subservient TO policy. A law who's
stability rests on this slender foundation cal
have no durability.
"If slavery cannot be defended on the ground
of its abstract justice it can have no defence q,
all worthy Of note; and no good man can Civ.

disnts, which can only last until power enough
shall have been acquired to get along withou,

South Carolina and the National Convention

The Charleston Mercury contains the follow
ing editorial
PRESIDENTIAL. CONVENTIONS. - In a recent
letter of one of the regular correspondents of
the Baltimore Sun, there occurs the following
passage
"South Carolina will not be represented by
any regularly appointed delegate in either of
the conventions, but know that Gen. Com
mandcr will certainly attend the Democratic
convention, aud assume to represent the State.
His vote may be decisive in the selection OF the
nominee thus exercising himself the whole
power of the convention. IF it is quite certain
he will go for Gen. Cass, then the question
to the nomination may be considered as already
settled Mr.. Calhoun gave his support to the
election Of Gen. Cass, and, therefore, some sup.
port from the same quarter may be expected,
especially after the explanation given at this
session, BY Gen. Case, of the Nicholson letters
II is understood, however, that South Carolina
would prefer, among the Northern men, Mr.
Dickinson or Mr.. Dallas"

Democracy Of Selcnee.-No. I.
BY JOSIAH H0LBRO0K /.

Consolidation and diffusion are two operations
distinct and opposite. Both are witnessed in
wealth, government, religion, knowledge, and
nearly every thing human. However applied
the one is despotic and the other democratic.
The nature of man aud the progress of society
tend to consolidation at the expense Of diffusion
The spirit of republicanism is to promote dillu-
sion and put checks upon consolidation; ard

that they may hereafter be admitted into the

this measure was before Congress, the friends
of slavery denied the validity of the Mexican
