such as must have satisfied the most doubt

still about in that vicinity, and that they
are united in support of the American
candidates, whose nominations were rati-
fed with hearty good will.

AUGUSTA, Ga, June 25.-The resolu-
tons of the Georgia Convention express
confidence in Mr.. Buchanan. That rela-
ting to Gov. Walker reads thus:
Resolved, That the address of Walker
in prescribing terms on which Congress
should admit Kansas into the Union, and
in attempting TO dictate the submission of
their constitution for ratification, and to
what class af persons constitutes presump-
ton in interference in matters over which
he has no Legitimate control, and same ad-
dress, in expressive and official opinion
that Kansas will become Free State, and
presenting arguments to support that side
Of the question, is gross departure from
principles of non-intervention and neutral
ity; and this Convention has fall conf
dence that Mr.. Buchanan will manifest g.
deity "to the principles which carried"
him into Office by recalling Walker"
After 20 unsuccessful ballotings for
Governor, Gardiner was Withdrawn. On

etA. On the first page, we publish sun
dry affdayits on the subject of the Wash
'ington election riot; from which it is appa-
rent that great and wanton wrong has
been done. In the first place, the Presi-
dent openly violated the Constitution by
calling out portion of the regular army,
instead of the militia, to suppress riot,
and thus established a dangerous prece-
dent which may pave the way to incalcu-
liable mischief The trainers of the Con-
stitution knew the danger of standing
army, when controlled by an ambitious
man, and wisely provided that the Presi
dent should call alone, upon the militia to
suppress riots-knowing that the people
would not fire upon each other, except in
cases of obvious necessity, and when that
necessity ceased, would retire to their
homes. Not so with the standing army
1t is taught implicit obedience, and having
no particular sympathy with the people
is ready to execute without pausing to en-
quire or reflect And to make the matter
worse, in the present instance, the compa-
ny ofmarines called Thy the President is
composed almost entirely of foreigners
who, at this particular time, and especially
in Washington, are most willing to make
war upon native Americans,
The afidavits further prove that there
was no necessity for calling out the ma
lines, and that the death of peaceable cit
liens, at their hands, was wilful and delib-
crate murder,--chargeable to the Presi
dent, at the instigation of the Mayor
Such conduct as this ought to arouse eve.
ry true-hearted American to a sense Of the
dangers impending over the country, and
nerve him to the most vigorous efforts in
behalf of the rights of the native, and in
defense of violated Constitution.
AS if to add insult to the injury so wan.
tonly, or malitiously inflicted, we find that
after the murder by a portion of the stan.
ding army, the American Volunteer Rife
Company was deprived of its arms, whilst
a similar companyof Irish was suffered tc
retain its arms, Thissigniicant fact proves
conclusively, that the whole movement was
directed against the American party; and
the President, in calling out, without pro
vocation, and in violation of the Constitu
]
ton, part of the standing army to quel
riot which had no existence, openly ar
rayed himself on the side of foreigners
and against the natives. He ought to b.
impeachcd; and were there virtue enough
in the Senate to vindicate the rights of th'
oppressed and defend the Constitution
he would be. But the attempt would be al
idle, as to try'to convict thiefbefore a jury
of pick pockets.

A FIXED FACT. DIR. CALvNAUGHs Pile
Salve has now been long enough before
the public to- have its merits fairly tested !;
and from every one who has given it a
trial, we hear of but one expression, that
it is indeed Cure. Every one who has
used il, experienced almost immediate re-
lief and speedy cure, result, in many
cases, long and diligently sought, but in
vain,
In conversation with the Doctor few
days since in regard to his "Pile Salve, F"
he made this remark. "My Pile Salve, sir,
is cure-not a palliative. For twelve
years, it never failed in my hands, in cur
ing every case; and l ask no reputation for
it, beyond its intrinsic merits. What /
say it will do, it wW do"
We advise all who have need of such a
curative, to try it. 1t is for sale in this
city by THOMAS & BRO. July.

Quarlcs declared himself opposed to Civ
ing the lands, or their proceeds to the
States, and equally opposed to tle partial
grants Congress is in the habit Of making !
and then detained against the distinction
between the rich and poor, necessarily
growing out of these grants. We saw no
connection between his position and his
argument, though he attempted to create
one, by saying that these grants we're made
to wealthy railroad companies, and confer
no benefits upon the poor man, who is en-
titled to an equal share, with the rich man,
in the public lands. We conceive that
neither the positions nor the arguments
are well founded. These grants are made
to the States, which become stockholders in
the roads, to the extent of the means
furnished; and from the dividends on the
stock, and the proceeds Of the surplus
land, are enabled to defray the expenses
Of their government, without taxing the
citizen. Then if the man who paid enc
hundred dollars, in taxes, previously, is
exempt from that tax, and the man, who
paid one dollar, is also exempt, the equal
ty between the rich and the poor is exact
ly maintained, and the benefits of distri-
button are equally felt by both. Nor is il
trucThat the rich man is allowed larger
, claim upon the lands than the poor man
Neither, in his individual capacity, has
any claim; the lands belong to the States
as political corporations, and in their dis
position of those lands, when granted, all
share the benefits equally, when that dis
! position leads to the reduction or abolition
of taxes.
IF our memory is not at fault, Mr. Q
attempted no argument upon any of the
: issues presented by Gen. Zollicoffer, ex
cept the subject of distribution; and, il
we are not mistaken, we have given, above
the substance of his argument. 1t is no
our purpose to do him the slightest injus
tice. His speech was a fair specimen O
the non -committal, and, as it seemed t.
us, studied effort to stake off the issues
presented by his oppnent. The facts ar
rayed against the democratic party, b.
Gen. Zollicoffer can not be refuted; no
can there force be evaded by the most art
full lodging Those facts will be remem
, bered by the people, when the sophistr.
brought to bear against them, is forgotten

centive to our readers we clip the subjoined
from the Sandusky Register:
"a moderate audience attended the lee
ture of DR.. BANNING, last night; but those
who staid away missed a rare treat. The
lecture was one of the best, in point of com.
pass of thought, utility of matter, and fin
ished elegance of style, ever given to an au-
dience in our city. That wonderful gift
the Human Voice, was thoroughly and beau,
tifully treated Of, in all its varied aspects
and powers. We repeat, those who did moi
90 missed an evenings entertainment richly
worth attending.
'The second lecture of DIR. BAENINa's
course will be given this evening, on the
subject mechanical Philosophy Of General
Debility" AS the entire course is gratui,
tous, want of time is the only excuse which
should avail persons for staying away. The
lectures cannot fail to be satisfactory as well
as profitable.
