Gen. Joseph Lane.

The South is entitled 10 the next Presiden-
tial nomination, the two preceding candidates
having been selected from the non -sIavehold-
ing States. We shall insist upon this claim;
but failing to enforce it. the right will be
maintained to name the candidate who may
be taken from the North. In case the South
ern Democracy are compelled TO accept this
alternative, no more reliable man can DO NOM
mated than Gen. j Joseph Lane, of Oregon
HIS personal attributes qualifications. and pa
trotic services are thus glowingly described
by correspondent of the Montgomery Ad-
yertiser the central organ of the unfaltering
State Rights Democracy of Alabama:
General 10 Lane is soldier as well Is
statesman. His nomination would create n
perfect furor. There are so many grand traits
about hts character that the people would
flock to his standard as the youth Of France
did to that ot NaP0Ieon-out of pure love and
admiration. His gallant career in Mexico
earned for him the soubriquet Of the Marion
OF the Mexican War" AS Governor of Or
egon, he gave evidences of high administra-
tive ability, and did everything to deTelope the
resources OF our North Pacific possessiGsls.-
z -. {. 4s = -
tion-his speeches speak for hun. lie mas all
the nerve and energy which are requisite for
Chief Magistrate at this crisis probably no
public man of the day, excepting jefferson
Davis, who is only his equal, has more Of the
Jacksonian element in his composition. he
resembles Old Hickory in mort ways than one
Old 10. Lane possesses another advantage
He is a Southron-a North Carolinian by birth
and education and subsequently an lndianian,
and now an Oregonian by adoption. He is
therefore popular in both sections. His old
State, Indiana, the very one we are most anxi
GUS to carry, has always worshipped him
There is no rubbing it out; 10 Lane has
strength. He would poll 10000 more votes
in Indiana than Douglas, and the divided De
mocracy Of Illinois would unite on him, which
they would not do on Douglas. He is a De
mocrat of the Davis school, and advocates
protection in the Territories.

Public Printer in Congress---Obser-
vations.

Ex-Governor Ford, Rlack Republican fSom
Ohio, has been elected printer of the House Of
Representatives in Congress. Strange to say,
that in every election before the House, the
startling fact is revealed to The country, that
there are enemies in our own camp. In the
election oil Speaker, the Republicans attribute
their success to the desertion of Southern
member from his own section, which was not
anticipated For this act, Henry Winter Davis
of Maryland, a South American, has been re-
proved by the Legislature of his own State.
Now, the Republicans succeed again through
the vote of another South American, viz /;
Mr.. Anderson of kentucky This presents
a bad showing for the South Americans in
the border States. We can extend the hand
of charity to man from the North, who falls
prey to the public opinion of his people, but
there is no excuse or the shadow of excuse
for Southern gentleman to vote for Repub-
lican. Let it be understood, that while Bell
Crittenden, Etheridge, Davis, Gilmer and An
derson, all South Americans have opposed
the policy of the South in reference to the
protection of her institutions, the truth Of his
tory will compel the bitterest opponent of the
Democratic party to say, that not one OF It's
members from the South ever proved untrue
to his section in moment of trial.

Doctor J. White.

DIR. White will leave jackson next Thurs
day for New Orleans, on professional visit,
where he may be consulted at his rooms, at
the ST. Charles Hotel, from the 10th inst. to
the 18th Of April next
DIR. White has been in our city since last
December, and has enjoyed large practice,
giving satisfaction in all cases. His remedies
are truly astonishing, and the cures they have
worked in our city and vicinity are almost
incredible. Old chronic cases, Of various de-
scriptions, which have defied the usual re-
medies, have given way under his treatment,
and the patients restored to health and yigor.
We know this of our own knowledge, as we
have seen his remedies used in our own
family, and can speak of what we know from
personal observation.
We take great pleasure in freely recon-
mending him to the afflicted wherever he may
go, and particularly recommend him to our
brethren of the press in the Crescent City
They and tho public will find that his re,
medies arc all he claims for them, and that
he is a gentleman in all the relations of life.

PlowIng by Steam

We have step forward in the victorious
career Of steam IN ltslSuccesSiul application TO
plowing. A steam plow has been invented,
tested, and it has triumphed. The inventor is
Joseph W. Fawkes, of Christiana, Lancaster
Co, Pennsylvania. Its operations were wit
messed ty great crowd Of people near Chica-
60 1T the late Fair of the National Agricul-
tural Society, and its Grand Gold Medal Of
Honor awarded to the inventor by the unani-
nous recommendation Of the Society's Com
mittee. The prize Of 81 500 offered by tie
New York State Agricultural Society, for
successful steam ploW, was also awarded him.
The machine is Of course yet in its crude
state, like the first steamboat of poor John
Fitch p but crude as it may be, it plowed
three'aud ha,f acres per h9ur at the Fair,
and did it beautifully. 1t drove eigh. plows.
Its weight, including water and fuel, was ten
tons, and It's cost $1,000. Such IL weight
would be too great for the soil OF Louisiana,
but who doubts that with the improvements
which time and experience VII produce, it
will he reduced in weight and cost, and made
nearer perfect, SO that it can operate in any
soil We DO not. There was another pow
exhibited, invented by one Walters, but it
| failed having met with an accident. Last year
prize Of $500 was awarded by the Royal
Agricultural Society Of Great Britain to John
Fowler ,Ir,, of London, for steam plow, and
a prize Of 800 TO the same by the same this
year but in the opinion of the Committee Of
the United States Agricultural Society, this
steam Plow Of Mr. Fawkes is greatly super
| ior in every respect. One Of the machines IS
TO be built for somebody in New York, and
| from this commencement the steam plow will
doubtless gradually prolong its liIrlows TIL
every farm in the country has been llowed
by it. Onward Is the worl Onward .-Nea

Banner Observation-Disclosures of
Jackson Fire Co. No. /.

At special meeting Of Jackson Fire Com
pany No.1 held at their hall on Saturday, the
10th inst, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, This Company have received
from Eagle Fire Company No. Z, of New
Orleans, another manifestation oftheir esteem
in the beautiful, chaste and elegant Banner
which now adorns our Hall and as we de-
sire to express our appreciation Of the present,
as well as the. high regard which we individu-
ally and collectively entertain for the members
Of that Company, who let no opportunity pass
of showing that hospitality and generosity
which, to such an eminent degree, character
ize the Crescent City Fremen. Therefore,
Reso{red, That mere words are utterly in
adequate to express our high appreciation of
the beautiful present; in accepting which, we
feel most sensibly that the ties of friendship
and brotherly love already existing between
US, as the result of former intercourse, are now
more firmly and forever cemented and that
time, with all its varied changes, can never OBJ
literate the pleasant remembrances of this oc
casion-this "green spot in memory's waste'
Resolrsd, That it shall be our constant aim
to prove worthy of the fraternal regard of
LdSlc L lIS NuHlpdHy ANO. Z, anu as UIULueIS
in noble and philanthfopic cause, we are
pround to greet them, and trust that Eagle
Z, and Jackson /, will ever be Pro Bono
P"dtico -" Always Ready"
Resolved, That the Emblem Of Eagle I, as
represented on the Banner, being also the
Seal Of our own State, is happy coincidence,
which renders the present peculiarly attrac-
tive, and taken in connection with its intrinsic
value, the occasion ON which it was presented,
| and the well-known gallantry and chiyalry Of
the donors, we shall ever prize it as one OF
the brightest gems awarded US in our career
as Firemen.
Resolued, That the badge" of Eagle z, be
worn by the members of Jackson l, at all our
Company parades.
Resolved, That the Secretary Immediately
transmit copy Of these resolutions to Eagle
Co. No. Z, and that our city papers be re
questcd to publish the same.

The Slave Trade.

Referring to the recent violation of the un-
constitutional laws which forbid the African
slave trade, and the hypocritical laments of
Northern negrophilist, the Delta aptly says
There can be no doubt that almost the en-
tire profits of the slave trade are poeketed by
the people who are fieRcest in denunciation Of
its wickedness. They use the power of the
Federal Government to cut off the South
from supply of labor, and to delegalzc the
trade, in order that their profits may be aug
mented by the absence of competition and OF
wholesome restraints; while they invoke the
necessary horrors Of contrabaad and illicit
traffic as testimony Of its supposed inherent
immortality. In the meanwhile they pocket
millions every year, and laugh at the fanatic
ism of the North and the complacent ami
ability Of the South.

SENATOR HUNTER ON WHITE LABOR IN
THE SoUTH.-Here is word just spoken by
Senator Hunter in the Senate: Nor is it true
that the institution of slavery makes manual
labor on the part of the whites despicable in
the slaveholding States. There is no country
on earth in which honest labor, as believe, is
more respected; and Of this l am certain. that
every white labcrer in the slaveholding States
is more nearly on an equality with every
other man in the community than every
white laborer in the North is on terms Of

R1ToRY-The House Committee on Terri
tories have under consideration the subject of
recognizing the Territory of Utah, so that
voting therein will be based upon legal votes,
instead of inhabitants, which will give the
Gentiles show of fairness. Another pro-
iect before the Committee is to divide up the
Territory, so as to reduce the Mormons to
state of necessary ineriority, territorially and
compel them either to abandon the soil
which they now inhabit or obey national
law.
This movement contemplates direct blow
