The Gigantic Plans of the Slave
Power.

IF the nomination of Ger. Taylor, without the
adoption of the Wilmot Prov'so into his Fiat
form, and the nomination of Gen. Cass with MS
Nicolson letter, yielding to the extension OF
Slavery, caused hundreds Of thousands IN the
Free States to withhold their support from their
candidates, or revolt entirely frcm their respec-
tive parties. what should they say to the plans
of the Slave Power now? These plans, thanks
to the %servllitv of the Northern politici his which
has emboldened the South to bring them oaf--
these plans. that for months have been gradually
disclosing their startling proportions, now stand
revealed in all their gigantic enor'nI'y before
the American people. They are no less than
these -
Ist. The acquisition of Cuba with her Slavery
by purchase, or conquest, consequent on such
revolution as can be stirred up on our part, to be
annexed as one of the State s of The Union.
Cd. The reducing Of the blacks of Hayti and
all other West India islands to Slavery, and an
nexing those Islands to the United States.
Sd. The command of Mexico, ami the whole
valley of the Amazon to the possessions OF B'a-
zii, a slaveholdlng country, so that there can be
no intermediate free territory to endanger the
rest.
9TH. A Southern route, or Shareholders Ma
tional Railroad, to plant Slavery, and make a
Slave market in all the States and Territories on
the Western coast Of America.
5th, and last. The opening afresh of the Afri-
can Slave Trade, o., in other words, the legaliz-
ing Of piracy, for supplying the vast mart here
contemplated with the millions of native Afri-
cans required to I'LL it.

A Great Blessing TO the Afflicted.

o.! The number and formidable character of
diseases of the Liver, have long challenged the
attention of medical men. Some of these disea-
ses, classed under the general term of consump-
ton, have been supposed incurable and the I'M
happy patient allowed to die, without medical
science to offer him a hope of recovery. Happily
this can no longer be the case. A remedy has
been found which will cure all complaints, OF
whatever character, arising from arrangement OF
the Liver. The pills discovered DR.. McLape, OF
Virginia. act directly on the Liver; and by cor
recting its operation and purifying it from disease,
cuts off and extirpates the complaints which have
their origin in the diseases of this organ. Rene
dies hitherto proposed for liver complaints, have
failed to operate upon the seat of the disease; but
DR.. McLane's Pills make themselves felt upon the
action of the Liver, and by cleansing the fountain,
dry up the impure streams of disease which thus
derive their existence.

Merican Desiyns.--El Amigo del Pals, of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, in it's issue of the
9th ult., confidently contends that Santa Anna
is endeavoring to effect a remuneration of
Mexico to Spain. 1t says that in addition to
the organization of an army Of so, DOC or 10000
men, a proposition for the establishment of a
monarchy has been thrown out, and among the
few who despite the republican constitution of
Mexico, have heretofore managed to control
the many, has found favor. 1t is contradictions
ever, that even those Mexicans who are incli~
ned to support it, are so because they have pre-
sumed that it is Mexican monarchy which is
contemplated. The paper named, however,
argues that the steps already taken show that
this is not what Santa Anna is aiming at. The
first ground on which it supports this view is
the fact that the army is being differed by
Spaniards, the next that the tariff of Mexico
cannot support such, and therefore the means
for the purpose must be obtained through an
alliance with Spain, and another that by rumors
from Cuba Santa Aanna is directly implicated
in SUCH a scheme. The Amigo quotes also, in
support of it's views, the following declaration
from Ell Universal, the organ of Santa Anna,
ave are in favor of the protectorate, not of
Spain only, but even of Russia, or of Turkey
itself:'-Picayune.

MATT. f. WARD.--We take the following
from a letter in the Charleston Courier respect
ing this unhappy young man.:
Your readers probably saw the announces
ment by telegraph, that a young man by the
name of Matthew F. Ward, of Louisville, KY,
shot a Prof. Butler, in that city, for chastising
his brother at School. Prof. Butler has since
died, and young Ward was committed to prison.
MIR. Ward is a young man of rare attainments.
His father, Robert J. Ward, was at one time
one of the richest merchants of Louisville, but
failed a number of years ago. His wife, how
ever, who is a native of Mississippi, possessed
a large property in her own right, upon which
they have continued toIive in great af1uence.
Young Ward graduated at Yale College, and
afterwards made the tour of the Continent,
writing a series of very agreeable letters to the
Louisville Journal, which were published in
this city by the Appletons, and widely circula-
ted. He made a second visit during the past
year, and wrote "English Items" which is one
Of the severest books ever written by an Anne.
rican upon English character. Miss Sallie
Ward, long the belle of Kentucky, and of the
country, who married 7. Bigelow Lawrence,
and was afterwards divorced from him, is his
sister. She is now the wife of DIR. Hunt, of
Lexington. The fate of young Ward is yet
uncertain, but we fear the worst. Should he
suffer the dread penalty of the law, (and he is
too proud to accept a favor, even that of his life
if he is not honorably acquitted,) the country
will lose an educated, high souled gentleman,
and literature one of its most brilliant devotees.
