CASH SYSTEM.

The subscriber after an experience Of many
years in the mercantile business. is fully satisfied
that 1t is better for both merchant and customer to
do business under the cash system and especially
under circumstances like the present when business
generally is attended with so much uncertainty, we
feel it to be important for VA to prevent the accum-
lation Of debts either for or against u.s.
We will, therefore. on the lst of January. 1851.
commence selling goods exclusively for Cash, and
at such prices will, we hope make this arrange
ment perfectly satisfactory to our customers. 0ui
stock of Fancy Dress Goods, Cloths and Cassimeres
Shawls, Ribbons and other Fancy Goods, will bC
sold without regard to the cost of them.
We earnestly request all persons owing us &C.
counts now due, and especially those whose &c
counts have stood two three years to call at the
earliest convenience and pay them.

Bfy- A late Union meeting in New York appon-
ted Willard Fillmore one Of three pacihcators to go
to South Carolina and see what can be done to-
wards settlement OF our sectional troubles. II
seems hard for the country to realize the fact that
South Carolina has determined upon secession with
out regard to anything the North has done or may
do, and that for years, she has only wanted pre-
text upon which to act. She wants to break up
the Union, and to accomplish that object is deter
mined, if the cotton States win not go with her to
go out and then precipitate conflict with the Fed
era Government in order to force the other South
ern States 10 stand by her. With these views con-
trolling her actions II is manifest that all efforts to
conciliate her will prove useless.

BeA Mr.. Crttenden's resolutions are objected to
by some, on the ground that they prohibit slavery
North of 360 3o>, and leave the question open South
of that line This is not true, as will be by
ference to the language, whichis as follows
"First, in all the territory now, or hereafter nc
quired North of latitude $50 3O> slavery or invo-
untary servitude, except for the punishment of
crime is prohibited while in all the territory South
of that slavery is hereby recognized existing and
shall not be interSered with by Congress, but shall
be protected as property by all departments of the
territorial government during its existence"
This is offered amendment to the Constitu-
ton, and its adoption will make slavery in the terri
tories South of the line, Constitutional provision,
and beyond the reach of interference from any
quarter, and anything but an open question.

The indications are that Dickinson will succeed
Gen. Cass, rs Secretary of State.
There is but little confidence placed in the assu-
rance that South Carolina will not resist the Fede
raj authority, during Buchauans administration.
Gen. Scott expressed the opinion that additional
forces should be sent To South Carolina for the pro-
lection of public property The President still OPP
poses such measure on prudential grounds.
The Committee of 80 have decided TO keep their
deliberations private. Adjourned till Monday.
The publication Of the manifesto of the Southern
members depressed the conservatives, who say they
are satisfied that the South is opposed TO any com
promise or accommodation whatever.
The community is restless and feverish tonight,
the resignation Of Cass exciting all evil suggestions
and rumors associated with Secession Since my
first dispatch the resignation has been denied, but
my information is direct Mr. Cass assigned as the
reason for his action that he conld not serve gov

ReS~ The tone of some of the members of the s.
G. Legislature indicates decided preference for n
monarchical government and Democracy is treated
with the most signal contempt When men are
phrenzed by ambition or prejudice they lose sight
of the happy medium between extremes, and run
into dangerous errors. Democracy, in its strict
sense, is form of government wholly untitled for
this country-as its present condition clearly proves
but why run to the other extreme when well reg
ulated Republic is the happy medium? Our gov
ernment, first instituted was strictly republicans
but Democracy, under the lead of dcmagogues has
cucrooched upon its distinctive features-making it
more and moro mobocratcal until anarchy has SUI
pervcncd, and ruin seems inevitable. But this per-
version of the character of our institutions is no
excuse for discardng king numbers aud taking re-
fuge under monarchy; the true expedcnt is to get
back to our original position, and TO maintain it
against the entertainments of dcbasng and disor-
gaining Democracy. The nahobs of the cotton
States may aspire to be lords, but the people are
not prepared To be their ctaincrs.

TnURLOW WEED.

ALBANY \. Y. Dec. II.
The Evening Journal has leading editorial from
the pen of Thurow Weed, taking strong conserva-
tive ground, and while maintaining the constitu-
tionaty of the principles Of the Republican party,
Involving such compromise rs will settle the diff
cultes and avert the evils at present threatening
the Union.
The compromises are thus set forth;
1--WE are prepared to say that an efficient but not
revolving fugitive slave law should be passed; and
that its passage should he followed by repeal of
the personal liberty bill"
We are almost prepared to say that the Terrific
res may be safely left TO take care of themselves,
and when they contain the requisite population may
come iuto the Union with State Government of
their own not conflicting with the Constitution of
the United States. This in view Of the surround
ings Of the Territory belonging to the United States
in view Of the fact that for four years at least free
dom will have fair play; and in view Of two other
elements-emigration and the census-this we say
almost constrans us to believe we may now cOn6de
the future Of the Territories to the intelligence and
patriotism Of those We are to admit.
If this suggestion is nadvisable there is another,
which contenplates a division Of the remaining
Territory of the United States, rs in 1920, when
the Missouri Compromise line was established.
To this we shall be told that the compact was
violated and that the South cannot be trusted-per-
haps it would be again, but not in our genera
ton, in the next nor indeed until the lessons
Of the last six years are forgotten,
