w" As many of our Democratic friends are
unable to obtain a hearing through the Union,
we are compelled occasionally to indulge them,
as in the following instance :
[Communicated.]
"Gentlemen, this thing must stoj>."?BRECKINRIDGE.
The little evening Telegraph, which docs the
chirping for Gen. Scott's interest in Washington,
brays loudly of the "big guns" of the Intelligencer,
Republic and Signal on its side, and
pities the Democrats who have got nothing but
the Union to maintain their cause in the federal
metropolis. There is more truth than poetry
in this boast; and it must be anything but fun
to the faithful, to see how the little man of the
Republic every morning snaps his fingers in the
face, and dashes his banderillas into the shaggy
main of the ponderous Union, as it lumbers
along in its heavy course. Really, something
must be done for the "Union." It is like a
1? l_ 1 1, _l l :i :j ,i_
uier lu^^ru snip. n piuu^co ur.nvny ttutiu uir
billows of political contention; and while its
* enemies are squaring away at it, raking it with
hot shot, the poor barque can do nothing hut
return dignified dulness and cold platitudes
upon its active enemies. And why? Because,
the printing not disposed of, it cannot afford to
be independent and indulge in spirit. For example,
the Republic has been for more than a
week harping on the declaration ol a Southern
Democrat, that Gen. Pierce, as a candidate, w as
the "creation and choice" of the Southern wing.
Now, why does not the Union seize hold ol this
ruse of Mr. Republic by the horns and shake
the life out of it? Why di.es it not unkennel
the Abolition appeal that lurka under all this
smartness, aud show that the object is to make
Freesoil capital for Seott, by showing that
Pierce is acceptable to the South' Why, instead
of meeting and crushing the little wasp of
the Republic, does the Union content itself with
saying that this was an "unguarded expression
of Mr. Forsyth ? Alas! the Union is in a position
wherein no factiou or person in Congrees
can be offended Votes are wanted?votes
cannot be spared, and the organ cannot afford
to do its duty to its party, to its country, and t<?
justice.
All this is pitiable. The Democratic party
has no organ at the seat of government, and it
is the fault of the Democracy in Congress that
it is so. The Union has lost the confidence of
the party North, South, East and West, and .
unless the old hulk is pulled to pieces, remodel |
led and rebuilt, all the printing in the world I
will not breathe such a spirit beneath its sobs ot ;
death, as will make it an effkettve and trusted
organ of the Democracy.
Q is a Cohsek.
Interesting to South Carolina.
Among the recent proceedings of Congress,
we find Mr. De Saussvre called up from the
calendar of the Senate a bill to refund to the
State of South Carolina the money she advanced
for the Florida war to her volunteers, to reimburse
them for losses sustained in that cam- 1
paign. The amount in in the neighborhood of
?20 000. The bill aa passed doea not allow in
tereat.
The following ia an extract from the proceeding*
of the Senate :
i " Mr. DeSaua?ore. Mr. President, I a?k the
I indnigeme of the Sena'e to take up the bill to
' indemnify the State of South Carolina for money
expended for the u?e of ttie United State* in the
| war in Florida with the Srminole Indian*. Thia i
bill was referred to the Committee on Military
Affairs, at d has been reported by that cournit- ;
tee unanimouslv I believe. 1 do not think that j
any objection will be made to the bill, or th*t it I
will give ri?eto diacunaion. 1 aak the indulgence
of the Senate to lake it up now and put It upon
its pa* age
" Tne motion was agreed to, and the Senate
proceeded to the consideration of the bill a*
in Committee of the Whole. It propose* to
require the Secretary of War to pay to the Slate
uf South Carolina aoch sums of money aa were
paid by that State in 1838, 1839, and 1840, for
service*, losses, and damages sustained by her
volunteers in the Florida war of 183G, 1837, and I
1838, while in the service of tha United States, j
and on their return from that service, as were
HscerUined and allowed by a board of commissioners
appointed for that purpose by an act of
the legislature of South Carolina in 1837.
' The Committee on Militate
to amend the bill by adding the following pro
viso:
ProtiM, howfrer, That no interest shall b*
allowed upon the money* paid to the State ol
South Carolina under the provision* of thi?
bill.'
' The amendment was agreed to, the bill waa I
reported to the Senate a* amended, the amendment
waa concurred in, and the bill waa ordered
to be engroaKed and read a third time. It waa
auOe*quen;ly read a third time and paused."
The Mobile Tribun? thus reviews Mrs.
Stowe's book :
"Of Iste we have had an opportunity of look*
ing over'Uncle Tom's Cabin'?written bv Mr?.
Heerher Stowe. The work has produced an
immense sensation in the free .States, and. it i?
said, brought its publishers 950,000 in prulite.
It was pulled eTtoavagsnllv by the last Aboli
tion convention, aiid the hope an expressed
that it had a new way to crush slarerv
in the Southern States.
This hope, we think, is not without reason, if
this book be sn example of what may be brought
into the field for the purpose. It is written
w ith d?">ided ability?has a clear, rapid, impieaa
?? style,and enough of earnest and simulated
pnibnthropy to make a durable impression
What may stand in the way of a full fruition of
its purposes is the apparent fact that it is designed
for no other ol>i?ct than to excite pr? wdii-s
against the sieve institution This is ??h
viout in every pegs of it.
< >ur readers may wonder that a book < an
have such eiTecta and not be a lying book. Rut
these conditions are not im ompatible. This
book is s lying book because it makes excep
tions to the rule. It i* quite possible that many
of the scenes it describe* are from life, but, at
the woret, they are very rare, and if they be
sufficient to give character to the institution of
Isiavery, ?nen an aomitiefl troths may be made
lie#.
We ran go into the single city of New York
or Philadelphia, and gather within a year ?ovnea
which would excite horror five-fold aa great s*
those of'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' Weeould take
the apprenticeship aystera of the North, and
oraw from it aueh extmplea of cruelty aa would
make the hair on the reader'a head aland with
indignation.
No one at the South, how willing aoever to
I retaliate on the?e fierce fanatics, will atoop to
do this, and deduce from it a general horror of
Northern aociety, or ita apprenticeahip system,
and thence organix- a rru-?ade against it. Thi.
it tha plan on whicn - Uncle Tom'a Cabin " it
written : and tha aame plan for aaaaultiog the
be?t institution in the world may be made ja?t
M rational aa it ia by the wicked (perhapa un
consciously) anthoreaa of thia bad work.
Thia book, too, ia a lying book for another
rnaaon. Keen if it be founded on faet, it
purports to be, It conveys within ita assumed
facta tbe brosiest falsehood. It represents moat
of ita-croalties in association with tha tandereat
leelinga of our rare?soch aa parental instincts
?r.cts not aasooiatad with guilt or conduct
worthy of pnoiahmeot, even in the mildest condition
of haman penalties In one place the
i
daughter ia torn from the mother. in another
tno husband from the wife, and so on?not
from the rude, sensual mother or husband?but
from a creature of gentle sensibilities, such as
may be found in the delicate and sensitive conditions
of a highly intellectual and refined social
existence.
it is of such materials that this book is composed.
It fa, therefore, false in its essential re
spects?false in its logic?false in its application
to the Southern or any other people, and
false in all its intention*. The woman who
wrote it must be a very bud or a very fanatica
pcrsoD ; and for her own domestic peace, w?
trust that |no enemy will penetrate into hei
household to pervert the scenes ho may fine
there with as little logic or kindness as she tiai
used in her " Uncle Tom's Cabin.''
i.-if~The Augusta (Ca.) Chronicle cjr Sentine
of the 13th inst , contains the following edito
rial :
' A National Union Convention?Will b<
held in the city of Philadelphia, upon the Is
day of August, 1852, for the nomination o
Daniel Webster for the Presidency of the Uni
U-d ^tate?, and a suitable candidate for the Vici
Presidency, for the support of the Union party
of the nation, in November next.
Delegate! from ten States now hold them
selves ii: readiness for this step; other State:
j are requested to choose suitable representative:
. without lulay.
I Friends of the Union, and of its great chain
I piun, you are now called upon to give evidenci
of your devotion to that cause, which has en
listed the talents of the most eminent, ami tin
sympathies of u mighty nation.
Tim immediate formation of local Webatei
I'uion Associations is earnestly recommended.'
The above announcement was received yes
j terdny by mail front Philadelphia, and is the firs
intimation we have had of this now movement
on the political chessboard. It is already
known Hint Mr. Webster has been nominated
by the 'American party" in convention at Trenton,
New" Jersey, and it lias likewi*e beer
chronicled iItsf, in a conversation .with Mr
Tallmadge, of New York city, lie remonstrated
against the farther uso of his name in connection
with the office of President. We presume,
therefore, that this call of a convention is without
bis knowledge- or privity, and possibly toay
not meet his approbation. Hence, it is fair to
infer, the movers in the matter intend to press
hia'Maims upon the country and run him regard
less of his wishes- If so, and he should be
before the country, we will cordially unite in
his support He is known to tbe country, and
is equal'y distinguished in the councils of the
nation and in the cabinet for his profound
statesmanship, and enlarged and liberal patriotism?to
tb? former of which, however .patriotic
they may be, neither of the present nominees
hate any claims. The one being indebted for
his nomination exclusively to his obscuruy, and
bis accidental appointment as a Brigadier-Gere
ral in the Mexican war?an office which, according
to his own account, he resigned because of
h s total unfitness; while the other is alone in
deoted for bis position before the country, to
his glorious triumphs on the battle field. These
facts no fair-minded man, who values his repu
tation for veracity, will attempt to gain.-ay.
And yet, the free and independent voters of
America, if we but yield to the dictation of the
conventions which nominated them, must be
confined to the selection of the first officer in
the world, from such material! Every consideration
of duty and patriotism revolt* at such
an idea; and we earnestly and sincerely hope
the people, the sovereigns of the land, may as.
ume their proper reponsibilities, and place
before the country a man eminently worthy of
the confidence and (support of the American
people. Such a man i* Daniel Webster.

ing programme for the new par'y that ia to

The Americas Partv.?In view of the
probable dissolution of the two old parties, an
i effort ia being made to create a new political
, Mtfociation, to be called the American party
I. would be premature and useless to form such
an association, with the view of having an in
fldence upon the approaching Presidential elec
tion. Lit the two parties fight their last politi
l cal battle, and then the friends of the Union
and the Constitution may take their stand as
an American party, embracing all who are re
solved to perpetuate the Union of the States,
| and to preserve the policy which has conducted
i us to prosperity and greatness. We shall rejoice
to see such a party formed, and American
' principles incorporated in its platf'rru.
"It seems to be hardly probable that the
I Whig and Dem cratie parties can preserve their
| organizations after the approaching Presidential
election?for the points of difference are now
o few and insignificant, as to present hardly
anything worth contending for. And besides,
the country ia threatened with another party,
equally hostile to both Whigs and Democrat*?
a party in favor of dissolving the Union. For
, this daring and dangerous purpose, extreme*
' have come together. The unprincipled Aboli
| tioniat of the North, and the fiery Secessionist
of the South?differing on every other point?
unite upon the destruction of the Union. Thii
new combination must be met and put down,
which cmii be done only by the combined < xer
lions of members of the two old parties.
There will probably be ?u abolition candi
date for the Presidency brought forward at the
ensuing election. A convention is to be hcl<l

organization of lite abolition party ; but the
; <fciil*rationa of that convention nuy be con1
trolled by consider.) lions not disclosed to tin
public eye. The Abolitionist* are supposed U.
' hold the balance of power betwe n the twn
parties, and their votes and infloi nee may b?
I given to either "upon a consideration.'* Nudi
bargains have U-en made, and may lie rcp.-ateri

much injury during liie next Presidential form
I The platforms of both parti 'a exclude the *gi
tat ion of the slave question, and pledge th<
, respective candidate* and parties to mainla i
the Union at all hazard*. Hat the malcontent
North and South n.av be prepared for a m<?r
decisive movement in foor years to come . irn
all the patriots of the country should therefor
combine to suppress any action having in vim
the destruction of our glorious republic.

^ Whatever moral force ^lie British aristocracy
can bring to bear upon the people, to hold thoin

may draw around Francis for tiro moment,
rn' the Hungarian aristocracy, the memory of pri
vileges formerly enjoyed by thorn, is hardly to
be obliterated by the smiles and pleasures of a
? court. Time will show whether there are not
J> hearts enough to strike ano'her blow for indee
pendence?and whether that movement shall be
r one for republicanism or for the old domination

Lord Derby is now about to place himself
before the people of England, and to demand of
^ them an approval of his course heretofore, and
}l their confidence in him for the future. By his
I - acquiescence, to a certain extent, in the changes
made by his predecessor, and by appealing to
the nation itself to decide by its votes in favor
of the moderate views he and his colleagues
nH have adopted respecting protection, he has a
n ? good chance of obtaining a majority in the next
Parliament.
Free trade is a right thing?and its adoption
no doubt wise and judicious in the present state
of British commerce and manufactures. Hut it
