why They Support Him.

The Southern Contederaey, of Atlanta
Georgia, an avowed slave code and slave
trade organ, declaring itself in favor of dis.
union if these cannot be obtained, supports
Douglas. In recent issue, it sets forth its
faith in seven propositions, of which the
following are portion: a
8. We are for . perpetuation of the Union,
provided the neutrality laws, the compromise
measures of 1850, and all subsequent
compromises, are repealed. .......-....
A. We are for the repeal of the restrictions
upon the African slave trade, regardless of its
construed impolicy by Northern fanatics and
Southern submissionists. .e0
restrictions and compromises can be wiped
from the Statute Book, and the Government
administered in its original purity, with =
strict regard to economy and retrenchment,
we hope to see the Union preserved; in
default of which we are emphatically and
unequivocally for disunion. .- e-
H.
z. We are opposed to the acquisition of any
more territory until the African slave trade is
re-opened, and the immediate sale and
enslavement of all free negroes that are found
within the limits of any Southern States,
after specified time to emigrate.
How does this comport with the views
entertained by the Northern Douglasites,
many of whom profess to be opposed to the
extension of slaverya We told them, in
1866, that their Southern confreres were in
favor of reviving the slave trade, but they
would not believe Us. Now, they find that
Douglas boast that he has done more to
extend the area Of slavery than any other man
is bringing to his standard the men of the
South whose ultimatum is more slaves and
more slave territory or disunion.

be no fusion of the Breckinridge and Douglas

EXHAUSTION OF THE PERUVIAN BARK.-A
gentleman long resident in South America
states that there is some danger that the
supplies of that very useful medical
drug Peruvian bark, aud the still more
useful sulpbate of quinine obtained from it,
may soon be exhausted. The cinchona, the
tree which yields the bark, grows at very
great height on the slopes of the Andes in
various localities from Bolivia to New
Granada. In the latter country it is found
on the central branch of the Cordilleras,
and the two best varieties have hitherto
been those OF Pitavo and Fangamga, two
New Granada alpine districts. But these
are already exhausted and both In the Uni
ted States and England another and poorer
kind, known as Amagna bark. which was
at first totally unsaleablc, is now used to a
very great extent The price of the best
importations in the London market has
gone up within few years from Is. ed. per
pound to 2s- 3d. and 3s while the Almag-
ma, for long time refused by the dealers,
is now readily purchased at Is. Al. A sim
gle tree yields from ten to forty arrobas,
and 1t is calculated that it will take at least
fifty years for the shoots of the old, des-
troyed tree to attain a middling size. The
supplies from Bolivia, however. continue to
maintain the highest rank, both in regard
to quality aud quantity.
