Death of 8, Beckham, ESQ.,,

The Lancaster Ledger of Wednesday says:-"With
melancholy feelings we announce the decease OF Mr.
SIMON BECKuAM, which event occurred at his resi-
dence in the lower part of this District Sunday last
Mr.. BECKHAM was one of the meritoriously esteemed
men Of Lancaster District llo filled the Office oil CLERK
of the Court for twelve years. from 1888 to lS42 and
retired then to pursue the moro quiet occupation OF
Farmer and Merchant at Pleasant Hill. We pen this
article in sorrow Mr. BEcKHAM was amongst the first
of our acquaintance in this District and from years
residence in his neigborhood we learned to esteem
him on account of his probty and virtue. For mum.
ber of years Mr. BEcKHAM has been constant firm
and consistent member of the Methodist Church, and
the piety in and around New Salem Camp Ground in
great measure, has resulted from his example and
religious Instruction.

diaries who persist in cumbering the stage long
after they have played out their parts the Federal
Union of last week plainly miseonceives term
which it processes to explain. The term, Old
Foges, is not applied by us to " those veterans
who have grown grey in the service OF Democra-
cy," but to those greedy pensioners who suppose
the party to be solely intended for serriag Mem-
Neither is it applied exclusively to men OF GER
tain age. a very old Fogy, like very old don
key, may sometimes be "a very young man. The
term is applied indiscriminateIy to those young
men who have none of the vigor of youth and
those old men who have none of the wisdom of
age. MIR. Buchanan, for instance, though far ad-
vanccd in years, is the very opposite of an Old
Fogy. Time always enfeebles the body, but
some in,ellccts never grow old. Such an intel
lect is Mr.. Buchanan's. Heis fully up with the age
lives for the great Present, and wastes none OF
his time in mumbling over the inscriptions on
ancient tombstones Such man is not to be
mentioned in the same breath with Gen. Cass.
To that arch Fogy, age has brought nothing but
garillity and greediness. For forty years he has
enioycd an uninterrupted succession of office,
and still clings to the party with the eechcs cry
of give! give! He has lost a great race, de-
moralized and scctionalized the party, and for
no other reason than his defeat and bad man
a. cment, asks to be entered again.
The editors of the Federal Union are right in
all their objections to this hoary stipendiary, but
they are wrong in promising to support him if
the Baltimore Convention should nominate him.
Not SO with us--not so with the people of Gcor-
gia. For no light cause will we ever abandon
our party organization, but under no contingent
cy whatever will we give our humble support

gogue, who represents Michigan in the Senate

may gratefully remember how he charged trea-
son and faction on all those who stood to the
South during the Compromise spoliation; but
the same intrigue that procurcs Cass the nomi-

before the Convention, and while the South vir-
tually comedies to the North the candidate, she
claims for this concession potent voice in the
selection of the man. She looks for a candidate
who has never played her false. A dozen NOM

restore Gen. Cass to the confidence of the south
ern people. TO the remarks Of our cotempoary

BANK OF Sr. MAnY's.-This Institution, as 1t
will be perceived from the subjoned card rccciv-
ed by Telegraph yesterday by one of our most
influential business men in this city, has been
forced to temporary suspension Of specia pay
ments. The paragraph alluded to IN 1t from the
Mobile Tribune is, we presume, the following
which appeared in that Journal on Tuesday last !:
"Bunk of 81. MayS.-thcre was good deal
Of excitement in town yesterday in regard to the
ISSUES of this bank. For several months the
bills have passed here in ordinary transactions
at par, and us they were redeemed on demand
at the counter of a respectable merchant, almost
every one had confidence in the solvcncy OF this
institution. The present distrust, we understand,
grew ont of the fact that draft Of the bank, Tor
a large amount was protested here on the lolh
instant, for nonpaymcnt."'

copied in the Montgomery -1drertiser, without
comment, of the inability Of a Drawee, to pay
the Banks draft for $4,000 (dollars,) has, am
panied to say, forced her to temporary, s"spen-
sion Of specie payment. 1t affords me, however,
pleasure to assure the public, that the lnsttu-

her own means, will bring to her aid my own

Freedom in the Southern States.

The editor of the South w cStern Advocate,
referring to the discussion of Southern Rights
which proceeded and has followed the adoption
of the compromise measures, quotes a mcnora-
bic passage Of Burke's writings which We annex,
and concerning which the Advocate justly re-
marks that its Importance and applicability at
the present time are not less remarkable that
the political sagacty and prcsclent wisdom of its
utterance. The extract is taken from the great
speech of Burke on conciiating with America,
delivered in the British Parliament on the 22d
ofMarch, l775, concerning which Sir james Mack
intosh said: . .... ....... .....
The second speech by Mr.. Burke on Amer
ican taxation was thought by Mr.. Fox the best
work of the master. The judgment was certain
" right it has the careful correctness of his first
manner, joined to the splendor Of his second; it
was the highest flight of his genius under the
guidance of taste Except a few Burkelsms in
the noble pcroration, it contains few deviations
from beauty" Such is the testimony Of the an
tagonist of Burke, the illustrious author Of the
Vindicianp GalIican;r. But 10 the extract:
.Sir, Gun perceive by their manner that some
gentleman object TO the latitude cf this descrip-
ton, because in the southern colonies the church
of England forms a large body, aud has regu-
lar establishment. 1t is certainly true. There
is, however, circumstance attending these colo
niies, which, in my opinion, fully counterbaan-
ces this difference, and makes the spirit Of lber
tv more high ard naughty than in those to the
northwa,d. 1t is that N Virginia aud the Car
oinas they have vast multitude Of slaves
Where this is the case, in any part Of the world
those who are, free, are by far the most proud
and Jealous Of their freedom. Freedom to them
is not only an enjoyment, but a kind of rank and
privilege. Not seeing there that freedom, which
in other countries where it isa common blessing,
and as broad and general as the air, may be uni
ted with such abjcct toll, with great misery, with
all the exterior o servitu,lc, liberty looks amongst
them like s,mcthing that is more noble and hb-
era DO not mean, sir, to commend the suPe-
rior morality Of this sentiment, which has ut least
As much pride as virtue Ill it; but cannot alter
the nature of man. The fact is so; and these
people of the southern colonies arc much more
strongly, and with an higher and more stubborn
spirit attached to liberty than those to the north
ward. Such were all the ancient commonwcalthS;
such were our Gothic ancestors; such IN our day
were the Poics; and such will be all masters OF
slaves who are not slaves themselves. In such a
people the haughtnr>s Of domination combines
with the spirit of freedom, tortes it, aud renders
it nync.bc."

SuuGGLISG.-For the last year or two this
section Of country has been regularly visited by
a .rant Of Irislmcn, whose business it is to make
sales to tamiiicS of nucns of almost all dcscrlp-
tons. They enter almost every house with their
wares, stating that they arc only offering the
products of their own labor, and that Of their
families for sale; protesting consequently to sell
lower than the merchant, who must make
profit. By such statements they make large
sales. without paying the State taxes, paid 10y
Merchants and Pedlars, and consequently real
izc handsome profits by an open violation Of our
laws.
During the past week one of these characters
has been making considerable sales of ladies

These violations of the revenue laws of the
State should be no more tolereted tha similar
v;ol,tions of the revenue laws of the United
States and every offender should be brought to
the bar of justice for punishment. But they
are not, and why! because the punishment is
esteemed disproportionate to the crime. Fine
not less than $500 and imprisonment, is the
penalty incurred for every piece of goods sold in
violation of the law. Now, there are few men
who like to prosecute for such an offence, when
they know the consequences of CONVECTION

Natures own Agent the Gastric Juice
~ Half teaspoonful Of PEPsIN, infused in wa

PEPSIN is the chief element, or Great Digest

extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the Ok,
thus forming an ARTIFICIAL DIGESTIVE

By !he aid Of this preparation, The pains and evils
