in the same unholy cause. Public rumor tells as
that a committee in the city of New York, compris
ing many of its wealthest citizens, raised fund of
one hundred thousand dollars and knowing that
opposition to slavery has its strongest fortress in the
religious sentiment, this committee has spread
broadcast through the land mutitudes of copies of
pro slavery sermons. While the votaries of Mann

Mr.. Moore said that ffty-one years ago
he descended the Mississippi river. The
great valley Of the Mississippi contained
but few thousand souls, and flatboats con-
veyed the whole of their produce to mar
ket. In 1912 he saw the first steamboat
touch at the levec in New Orleans. Now
a thousand palaces arc ailoat on that mighty
stream, moving as if by magic; and ten mil
lions Of souls occupy the Mississippi Valley.
In 1851 the products and commerce of the
valley were estimated at 1920, ,OOO.OOO, and
the exports, domestic alone, from New Or
leans, 67,000,0OO. In view of ell that he
had stated, he said that he was proud of be-
ing pioneer and citizen of this glorious
Union. If he should live ten years longer
he expected to see rail road extending to
the western limits of Texas; and he antici-
pated that the day will come when the trip
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific will be made
in forty-eight hours. In conclusion, he
spoke of the benefits generally consequent
upon the construction Of railroads, which
make every inch of land through which
they run worth ten fold the original value. :"

Butler, all of Charlton county in this State.
The horse was found in the possession Of
Carey, and $50 75 cents of the money Sc
cured. Monday morning he was taken

committed for trial. Carey was a soldier in
The Mexican war, and had sustained good
character up to this time. He was arrest

Wealth Of California.

'loN," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, under date of the 18th
ult, says:
The California memorial just presented
to Congress, presents very able and lucid
view of the rising greatness of the Pacific
slope of this continent; and it also suggests
the proper legislative measures which the
interests of the country, in reference to
California require. The public will be
struck with the facts and views presented
in the memorial in regard to the future gold
product of California. While the product
Of gold dust will be one hundred and fifty
millions a year, that from the gold bearing
quartz will be two hundred and twenty-five
millions year. As to the richness OF the
gold bearing quartz, there is now 10 room
to dispute or doubt.
The vast trade which is rising between
California and the Atlantic, and between the
Pacific coast and that Of Asia, calls impera-
lively upon Congress for two measures
one is The construction Of railroad from
the Pacific 10 the Atlantic; and the other is
the encouragement in The most practicable
way, OF the establishment of line of steam
ships between California and China. These
two great measures ought to be adopted
without delay, and probably will be. For
tunately the country has it in lis power to
secure The accomplishment Of these great
projects without the advancement of dol
lar from the public treasury, and through
private enterprise and capital alone. All
constitutional obstacles 10 the projects are,
therefore, at orce avoided.
As TO the line of steamships from Cali
fornia to China, Congress now have it in
their power 10 secure The immediate estab-
lishment Of such line, without advancing
dollar towards il, or underwriting il, or
incurring any risk in regard to it on the
part Of this government. II is well known
end settled that this government viii never
advance cent again towards the building
Of mail steamers. But by giving mail
contract on reasonable terms, to Moorc's
Company, they can secure the establishment
of line of twenty powerful steamships,
which will be the pioneers of that immense
commerce with Asia, which is, at no distant
day TO render this country the richest and
most powerful in the world,

The Presidency.

A Washington correspondent of the In
telligencer, who has the means of obtaining
correct information, gives us the following
speculations, on the Presidency, in letter
written under date of the Goth ultimo-
Things are wearing round to the right quar-
ter, and we hope by the time for hloding The
nominating convention-which we approve
of postponing to a late day-that Fillmore
will be universally acknowledged as the
most fitting person to lead us to victory
His name is tower Of strength-his ad-
ministration has eXtorted praise from oppo-
nents, and filled friends with admiration, and
no candidate has yet been mentioned, against
whom as little unsuccessful opposition could
be made. The feeling in his favor is not
that excited by powerful party prejudices
and bias--not that Of the "pomp, circom-
stance, and glory of war; not that mega
tive popularity claimed by the friends OF
some aspirants, that never having been in a
situation to do anything, of course they have
few wrongs TO account for: but, it is founded
in the wisdom, business, promptness, and
broad patriotism that has characterized him
as the head of our administration during one
of the most eventful terms since the achieve
ment of the Independence of this country.
But, to the letter:
"The friends of Mr.. Webster, and the
Wings generally, look with interest to the
great demonstration about TO be made in New
York in favor of Mr.. Webster as the next
President. Those who took the lead in the
meeting are firm and decided in their pref
erence of Mr.. Webster to any other Wing
candidate, and they will control the opin-
ions and preferences OF those who may hes
itate between him and any other Wing can
didate.
The position of the Free Soil Wings in
New York, and generally at the North, in
this subject, is not understood. II is now
supposed by many that they will adhere to
Gen. Scott in their choice under all circum-
stances. But this is mistake. Prior to
Mr.. Webster's great Union speech of the
7th of March, they had no quarrel with him.
They prefer Gen. Scott at present, for the
reason that he is uncommitted ON the COM
promise measures. They will continue to
sustain him while he remains silent on this
subject. But, when General Scott shall
come out in favor of the fugitive law and
other measures, in order to conciliate the
South, as he will be obliged to do, they will
consider him as standing on the same footing
with Mr.. Webster, on the subject There
fore, those of them who prefer Mr.. Web
ster, on the score of his higher quali6ca-
tiOns, will transfer their support from Gen.
Scott TO him. On the whole, il is quite cer-
tain, as matters stand, that Mr.. Fillmore OF
Mr.. Webster must be the Whig nominees
and as Mr.. Fillmore, mpy yet withdraw his

Adams Fall.

A favorite temperance lecturer, down
SOUTH used to relate the following anecdo,e
10 illustrate the influence Of bad example
in the formation of habits, ruinous in their
clTect:-
Adam, and Mary his wife, who lived in
one Of the old states, were very good mem
bcrs of the church, good sort of folks anv
way quite industrious and thriving in the
world, and Mary thought a great deal of
glass of good toddy.
Whenever the minister called 10 make
Mary a visit, which was pretty often, she
contrived to have him glass of toddy made
and the minister never refused to imbibe.--
After while Adam got to following the ex-
ample ofthe minister to such an extent. that
he became drunkard-drank up everything
he had and all he could get. Mary and he
became very poor in consequence of his fol-
lowing the minister's example so closely:
but, the good minister continued his visits.
and poor Mary continued still to give him
the glass of teddy. One day he called in
and told Mary that he was going away for
week-should return OH Friday-and hand
cd her book containing the catechism, and
told her when he returned he should expect
her to be able to answer some of the ques-
tions. Mary says "Yes,' and laid away
the book carefully. But Mary, ike good
many other church members, thought no
more Of her book until the very Friday the
good minister was to return. WHAT shall
| do: says she: ''the minister is TO be here
to-day, and | havn't looked in the book he
gave me! How can answer the questions?''
Il can tell you,' says Adam. Give me =
qutrter and let me go over to Smith5s and
get some good rum, and you can answer his
questions with glass of toddy.'' Marv
took ihc adyice--gavc Adam d quarter and
jug and of he started. After getting
his bottle filled and on his way back, Adam
concluded to taste the rum. One taste fol-
lowed another, until he stumbled over nile
OF rocks and broke the jug and lost all the
rum. But Adam managed to stagger home.
Soon as lie got into the house, Mary in
quircs anXiously for the bottle of rum
"Wherc is the bottle and rum, Adam?''-
Poor Adam managed to stammer out chat
he stumbled over pile Of rocks and broke
the bottle and lost the rum" Mary was in
q ti2--Adam drunk-the minister coming
-theruA gone-and the questions urlear,-
Cd. but here comes The minister. I.
won't do for the man of God to see Adam
drunk, > SO she, for The want Of better
place TO hide, sent him under the bed. BY
hetlme he was under, in came The minister.
After sitting c few moments, he asks Mary
il She thought she could answer the question.
"how did Adam lall:" Mary turned her
head first one way and then another finally
she siammered out-"H fH orer a pile of
rockS!' It was now the minister's turn TO
look blank; but he ven,ured another oues-
tion-"Nhere did he hide himself after his
ia!l;' Mary looked at the minister, then
at the bed, but finally she ont with it
" "tndr The bci, sir" There, Adam, YOU
may come out; he knows all about it," The
good minister retired not even waiting tor
his glass Of toddy.
