HOW THE SOUTH UNDERSTANDS
THE PRESIDENT.

AT public meeting held in Clark County,
Georgia, on the 28th utimo, Judge Jackson,
the Member Of Congress from that district,
made a speech from which the following is
an extract, taken from the Athens Georgia.
Southern Banner.
"IIe Judge Jackson then endorsed the
President as sound on the great question Of
our constitutional rights--sounder than any
man he knew at the North. holding 10 ne
extreme Southern doctrine, THAT If THE
TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE REFUSE
TO PROTECT THE SHAREHOLDER IN
THE TERRITORY OF THE UNION,
CONGRESS OUGHT TO DO IT. This
judgment Of the President was that of an
impartial mind, for he had but little inter-
course with him at Washington, and the
President did not seem to him to possess
that cordiality Of manner which was calcu-
lated to draw the personal affections of men
to him. He Judge j. differed 0tb him, too,
upon The Pacific railroad and the tariff but as
a friend Of the rights Of the South, be pro-
nounced him the soundest Northern man he had
eyer seen, and his present opinions, no less than
his entire Congressional record, show it."
Thus it appears, that so long as the Presi-
dent adhcros to the extreme Southern doe
trines for the propagation of slavery, he may
differ with Southern politicians upon such
unimportant measures as the Pacific railroad
and the tariff, without iorloitng their conf
dencc or support
And this tolerance Of opinion, on all other
subjects but the Slavery question, seems to
be reciprocal between the President and the
fre-eaters Of the South. Southern Demo-
Gratis may dcnounco and oppose his tariff pol
icy, as they did, in solid phalaux, led on by
his own Secretary Of the Treasury. in the
last Congress, without in the least impairing
their position as good and true members of
the Administration party. But let a North
ern Democrat venture to differ with the Pres
ident on any "extrome southern doctrine
in favor of the extension of Slavery, which
he may have been induced to espouse, and he
is incontinently denounced as a hereto, dis
organizer. and "a traitor Entire devotion to
the cause of Slavery extension is the only
true test of Democracy. RYubic.

IMMENSE SIZE OF THE pyramids. A
United States naval chaplain who had recent
ly visited the grand pyramid of Cheops, in
Egypt, wading in the deep sand 400 feet be-
fore he had passed one of its sides, and be-
tween five and six thousand feet before he
had made the circuit, says that, taking hun
dred New York churches of the ordinary
width, and arranging them in hollow square,
twenty-five on a side, you would have scarce
ly the basement of this pyramid take anoth-
er hundred and throw in their material into
the hollow square and it would not be full
Pile on all the stone and brick of Philadel-
phia and Boston, and the structure would
not be as high and solid as this greatest work
of man. One layer of block was long since
removed to Cairo for building purposes, and
enough remains to supply the demands of a
city of half a million of people for a century,
if they we're permitted freely to use it.

SHOCKING CUsToM.-A recent communi-
cation to the Indian Office from the Superin-
tendent Of Indian Affairs at San Francisco
reports strange bat shocking custom that
prevails among almost all the Indians of Cali
iornia. This is that of burying alive, When
a widow dies and leaves young children the
tribe to which she belonged will bury the or
phans alive. The Superintendent states that
he viii use all his efforts to put an end TO
this cruel practice, but it had been impossi-
bic to prevent it entirely as yet, even on tho

LR7 We learn from our Cleveland cores
pondent that a writ of habeas corpus has been
issued in the cases of Bushnell and Langton,
convicted of violating the Fugitive Slave law,
and now in Cleveland jail in execution of
their sentence He informs us that the writ
was issued on Wednesday, by the Clerk of
the Supreme Court, by the order of Justice
Scott, and on the application and affidavit of
Mr.. Riddle, counsel for the prisoners that
it is returnable at Columbus on Wednesday,
the 25th, and that Judge Scott has invited the
four other Judges to be present at the hear
ing. He adds, that service was made of the
writ, on the afternoon of its issue, on the
Sheriff of Cuyahoga County. We find no
mention of any such proceeding in the Cleve-
land papers-but our correspondent suggests
that perhaps for prudential reasons, and to
avoid any collision between the Marshal and
the Sheriff, the fact of the issue of the writ
may be kept quiet till the Sheriff is ready to
take the prisoners to Columbus.
Meanwhile, the four Kentuokians, late wit
nesses against Bushnell and Langton, confined
in the jail at Elyria, on charge of kidnap-
ping, are good deal disappointed that Judge
Wilson has not come TO their rescue by
writ of habeas corpus. In this emergency,
they have moved for continuance, with the
intention, it is supposed, should it be granted,
to take some quiet opportunity of giving bail,
and so escaping out Of the State.--N L.

STEEL STAYS. - A regular crusade has
been entered into by the Doctors of Paris a
gainst the trightful fashion of steel stays,
brought in with the new cut Of dress now in
vogue. Attention has been drawn to the
subject, and a report sent in to the Academy
of Medicine, in consequence of the sudden
death Of the two young ladies employed in
one of the fashionable houses of this place to
show off the fashions, These young ladies,
whose sole business was to walk up and down
the Magasin, where the wonders of the mag
nation Of the propriotors are displayed, vying
with each other in the degree to which torture
could be borne, had gradually accustomed
themselves to be drawn so tight that, in one
case the bursting OF blood-vessel was the
consequence, and, in the other, congestion Of
the lungs carried off the victim in a few
hours. Court journal.

New BIBIGcAL DIsoovERY.-Prof Tis-
chendorf, who had been sent by the Russian
government on a journey Of scientific explo-
ration, in a letter from Cairo dated the 18th
Of March, states to the Minister of Saxony,
Herr Won Falkenstein, that he has succeeded
in making some valuable discoveries relative
to the Bible. The most important Of these
discoveries is a manuscript of the Holy Scrip
lures from the fourth century consequently,
as old as the famous manuscript of the Vat-
can, which hitherto, in all commentaries, has
maintained the first rank. This it will have
to share with the newly discovered manu-
script, if Herr Tischendorf be not mistaken
In three hundred and forty-six beautifully
fine parchment leaves, of such size that only
two can have been cut out of one skin. 1t
contains the greatest part of the Prophets,
the Psalms, the Book Of Job, the Book Of
Jesus Sirach, the Proverbs, the Songs of Sol
omon, and several of the Apoeryphal Books
of the Old Testament but then the whole
of the New Testamentis is complete. Another
valuable discovery of Prof. Tischendorf is
described as an undoubted and complete
manuscript of the Epistles of Barnabas and
of the Shepherd of Hermas, both belonging
to the second century of the Christian era
and originally standing in the esteem of
Scriptural Epistles. Her Tischendorf hopes,
from the munifcence of the Russian govern
ment, that he viii be enabled to give imme-
date publication to these three manuscripts.

SouTH CAROLINA DrNocRAr oN THE
PoLtrGcs OF THE DAY.-The Hon. VIM. W
Boyce, who represented the Fifth District of
South Carolina in the last Congress, and has
his credentials in his jacket for seat in the

h1njiou Guardian
"SABINE FARM. May II, 1859.
can intelligent correspondent seems anx-
ious to know my opinion on certain points
that he alludes to.
Il utterly repudate Judge Douglas idea
that a Territorial Legislature may discrimi-
nate against Slavery, and nothing could in
duce me to support for the Presidency any
one standing on this platform.
Il consider it as clear as a mathematical
problem, that the South have right to be
protected in their slave property in the Terri
tories. and that Congress. or their iustru-
ments the Territorial Legislatures, should
afford this protection As a question OF prac-
tical action. would not at this time have
originated this issue but having been raised
as Southern Representative | shall demand
the fullest measure of our rights.
"ln reference to the African slave-trade
while the Union lasts it will prove a firebrand
to distract and divide our people. and divert
us from the greater and more important is
sues of safety and independence
"When / have gathered my fodder, de-
sign to visit my constituents in their several
districts. and hope then to be able to give
them at length my views upon the political
complexion Of the times. ! may be permit
ted, however, to say now, that never has the
future looked more gloomy to me. We are
threatened with the greatest possible calam-
ity-the domination Of an imperious North,
and the paralysis of disunited South We
shall need all wisdom and moderation TO
avert the disasters that threaten us, and yet
how marked is the absence of these great
qualities on the part Of many who aspire to
direct public opinion at the South.
at is but too probable that a hostile sec
tonal party North will soon acquire posses
sion Of the Government. In that event, the
South should not remain moment longer in
the Union. Yet who does not feel that the
success Of that movement for independence
depends upon the opinion Of the people of the
South as to how far the success of the sec
tionalizod North was owing to the impolicy
of the South. But how little Difference do
many of the best friends of southern inde-
pendence pay to this truth
IN conclusion, fear the North section
allied will soon take possession of the Gov
ernmcnt. Then go for southern indepen-
dence at all hazards, by a single State leading
off if necessary To make this movement
successful, the South should be made as much
as possible in one sentiment; the North
should be divided as much as possible to
accomplish this, in my opinion, the three
great requirements Of Southern statesmanship
are-moderaton, moderation, moderation

g.V- The Southern Commercial Conven-
ton, lately in session at Vcksburg, seems to
have finally resolved itself into a convention
for agitating the revival of the African slave
trade 1t is very evident, from the debates
and proceedings, that this idea Of reviving
the African slave-trade is making rapid prog
ress in the cotton-growing States. Hitherto,
the propositions though, for several years
past, entertained and discussed, never could
obtain vote in its favor Now, the Conven-
tion votes that all laws, State and Federal,
prohibiting the African slaye-trade onght to
be repealed 1t seems pretty plain by the
discussions, that but for the fact of the OK
istence of State laws on the subject, the Com
vention would have voted that all the Fed
eral prohibitive laws ought to be disregarded,
as unconstitutional. Confidence was strongly
expressed, and no doubt abundantly WE'LL
founded, that the prosecutions in Georgia,
growing out of the case Of the Wanderer,
would be disposed Of in the same way with
the South Carolina prosecutions in the case
