Steamer Columbus.—In our recent vis
to St. Louis we went up on this boat,—an
we take pleasure in recommending her to tl:
traveling community as being everything th:
could bo desired in a steamboat, i. e. in tl
way of comfort, safty and speed. She is or
of the best boats on the western waters, and
commanded by one of the oldest and mo
experienced river men—Capt. Robert Smiti
and her clerk, Goodrich, is a Prince of
fellow, who seems to take a pride in consult
ing the comfort of his passengers. In fai
all the officers are sober, gentlemenly met
who fully understand their business. And w
must say that the bar-keeper, “George,
knows a thing or two about his peculiar vocs

Important Discovery.—We were yestei
day shown an article of Molasses manufac
tured from watermelons, which was superic
to the best cane Molasses. It was made b
a gentleman living in the north-western pa
of this county, merely as an experiment. Tit
process is simply this : The water is extracte
by pressure from the pulp of the meloi
and boiled about four hours.
We regard this as an important discover)
for every family who raises water melons ca
thus manufacture Molasses for home cor
sumption, which will be the means of savin
much money that is now expended for that ar
ticle.
We doubt not that sugar of a good qualit
could be made from the watermelon.

Testimony of Gen. Cass.—At a demcrat
ic Mass meeting in Baltimore on the evening
of the 31st ult., Gen. Cass, who was called
on for a speech, thus spoke of Gen. Scott.—
What will the vile slanderers of the glorious
Old Hero say to this just tribute to his woith
and fame, from the great gun of the Democ
racy? Gen. Cass said “if any one expected
; him to abuse Scott OR THE WHIG PARTY,
j they were much mistaken. GEN. SCOTT
WAS A GALLANT SOLDIER, WHOSE
NAME WAS INSCRIBED ON THE
BRIGHTEST PAGES OF AMERICAN
HISTORY.”
Remarkable Letters and Remarkable Rea
sons.
Some weeks since we gave a very full re
port of a speech delivered by Colonel Wat
son G. Haynes, of Putnam county. New
York, to the Democratic National Conven
tion, sitting in Pittsburg, Pa., on the 12th
ot August last. Our readers will remem
ber the two very remarkable main reasons,
given by Col. Haynes for his support ot
General Pierce. The first of which was
that, should the General be elected, the Ab
olitionists who might aid and assist in bring
ing about that result “ will take their full
share in the offices of the Government, and
set their influence against slavery and
make it effectual!” The second reason
was that “Gen. Pierced New Hampshire
friends, as was fully shown by their votes
against abolishing t te anti-Catholic provis
ion in their State Constitution, are deter
mined supporters ofProtestanism and oppo
nents of Popery.’’ In the same speech
: Colonel II. stated that many of the leading
5 Abolitionists of the North who were ranged
under the banner of Franklin Pierce “knew
their tiian,” and that they would be able
to exert, after the election, a sufficient in
fluence over his mind “to bring about a re
peal of this abominable [Fugitive Slave'
j law.”
Since then two letters from this individ
| uai have come under our observation. The

; To the Editor of the Washington Republic,
j Sir: Permit me to contradict a vile re
I port, now going the rounds of the newspa
; pers, to the effect that I was sent to Pitts
| burgh through the influence and at the re
quest of the Hon. Horace Greeley and tht
Hon. \V. II. Seward. To which I have tc
j say, that it was as impossible for either o
those gentlemen to know of my intentior
of attending there as that l will be the nex
President of the United States.
No man living attempted to induce nit
to go there ; and I do solemnly aver that nc
individual in this world knew oi my intend
ed course of action there.
I am not the man to be controlled, noi
; are tire honorable names mentioned tht
men to be a party to anv base transaction
l recommended Mr. Pierce on Freesoil
j Ar.ti-Poperv, and anti-Maine law grounds.
WATSON G. HAYNES.
Garrison’s, Putnam County, N. Y.
The following paragraphs from anothei
letter, addressed to the Washington Tele
j graph, will also command attention :
“I reply, that 1 consider the nominntior
of Mr. Pierce as an entire and completi
triumph, of Freesoil principles over both tin
old parties, by bringing a new ‘unknown
before the country, who can unite all ele
merits of the great Democratic party to
gether, and who can rally to his support al
the great leaders of the Free-soil party a
the North on Free-soil principles,the bettei
to carrv our cherished objects, in his elec
lion. *
In the second place I have entire confi
dence in General Pierce’s strong anti-Pop
ery sentiments; in proof of which, the grea
champion of anti-Popery principles, tht
Rev. Dr. Brownlow, is now sustaining him.’
We have all along been of the opinion
that there was something concealed undei
the alacrity with which hundreds and thous
ands of the foremost Abolitionists of all the
North rallied to the support of Gen. Pierce
and as the revealing hand of time develop
ed causes and reasons, we have laid then
before our readers. Such men as the Van
Bmens, Dixes, Bryants, and Chatfields, o
New York, and Brinkerhoffs, Cables anc
Carters, of Ohio, I lallett of Massachusetts
Atwood of New Hampshire, Wentworth o
Illinois, Cleveland of Connecticut, Thurston
of Rhode Island, Hamlin of Maine, Senatoi
Walker of Wisconsin, Buell of Michigan
Wilmot of Pennsylvania, and thousands o
others, radical and unadulterated Abolition
ists, but shrewd and calculating men, wen
not likely to abandon the doctrines of yean
and go over to the advocacy of a man win
was apparently opposed to them on all im
portant points in a moment, without then
were sufficiently strong reasons, evidences
pledges, or understandings, placed in thei
hands, or communicated to them, to induci
such an astounding somerset. It may b<
said that these men are wholly unprinci
pled. Very well. This is a point the ar
gument of which does not devolve upon us
They are supporters of Gen. Pierce, un
principled or not. They are striving to en
compass the defeat of Gen. Scott, by fai
or foul means, and they are known to hi
men of too much shrewdness, penetration
and caution, to barter away their service
and values, without receiving what the)
deemed a fair equivalent—a full “considera
tion.” As Col. Haynes said, there is litth
doubt they "knew "their man! ”
We have no question that these abolitior
gentry “knew their man,” and all his an
tecedents, and the history of his party ii
New Hampshire, before they agreed to sup
port him. They knew ot his Senatoiia
declarations against slavery, his votes in th<
House, his Freesoil action in his Mate Dem
ocratic Convention, his ultra Abolition re
marks at Manchester, N. IT, in November
1850, and the exact tenor of his New Bos
ton speech, then uncontradicted for six
months, ami which has since been so con
clusively substantiated under oath, that our
opponents have ceased attempting to bring
forward any rebutting evidence, at all
worthy the name. They were the last
persons in the world likely to be fooled —
they “ knew their man”—at least Colonel
Haynes says so, arid all concurrent circum
stances and developments go to prove the
fact.
Besides, the Democratic National Plat
form is a very questionable and unsafe con
cern. The ‘Evening Post,’ the great Pierce
organ of New York, speaks as follows in
regard to that portion of it which adopts
the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of
’98-’99:
“The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions,
according to them, and our readers will re
member that several days since we took the
same view of the matter—lay down the
maxims of construction which, if applied
to the Constitution, make the Fugitive
►Slave Law a palpable violation of that in
strument. By solemnly adopliong the Ken
tucky resolutiens, say those commentators,
the Convention gave up the Slave law.”

Farm for Sale.
THE subscriber wishes to sell a Farm, or
tract of land, containing 280 acres, ten
of which is well cleared, and from 25 to 30
deadened, and would do to be cleared up for a
crop in the spring. There is a small log cabin
and stable on the premises. Said land is situ
ate in Phillips county, about 30 miles west of
Helena, on Big Creek, and one mile from Dor
riss’s Landing; to which point small steamboats
may- come, when Big Creek shall have been
cleaned out; and at which point there will per
haps be a village in a few years. Said land is
fertile upland, all of which may be cultivated
with but little ditching, and some of it is slightly
rolling. The neighborhood in the vicinity- is
sufficiently populous to afford scholars for a
good school during the year. I will sell 50 or
100 acres, or the whole tract, to suit purchasers.
An indisputable title will be given. For fur
ther particulars, examine the premises and en
quire of tho subscriber, living on Beaver Bay
