' 1825. From the Savannah Georgian. "THE CONGRESS TO BE TIE GOVERNMENT." Among the nost violent of the pro Clay and anti-Taylor papers of the North (and they were not few in nimber or amiable in temoper) was the New York Express. It warred with a most deter mined and persevering spirit a gainst the "spontaneous combustion" movement ard grew iuore resolute and boisterous to the last. It pronounced the no-party Taylor-party to be the most lying party that ever existed, and predicted the certain defeat of the t Whigs in case their Convention should bestow the nomination upon Gen. Tay lor. True to its party drill, however, it has now come out in favor of the Whig ticket, proclaiming that the Allison let :er furnishes a stilicient phiiform of principle to satisfy i:s wishes in the premises, and contending lr Genrrol Taylor upon the ginuttd that "C CnESS Is TO nE TnF. GovERNMENT UNDER 11131." " As Congress is to be I he Government under G'.n. Taylor, to ' ecuring that Congress all our effort I must be byent." This, then, is the principle for which he Northern branch of the Whig parly will openly contend. They catch s reedily at the pledge given by G, n. 2 raylor that he will not use his Vrto for d he purpose of resisting the action of s Congt ess. He will be disposed to de fer 0 his jndgment to the better judgment. u )f Congress. If they pass a law, f+ shich is not to his mind plainly, clearly, til mlpably uaconstitutional, or the result S if precipitous action, he will be bound, L is he is pledged, to sanction it. This is i- S ea vo teff dpiriIles fiom- t klpha to Omega. It is broad enough se ecause it will be applied to every great p neasuie for wiich the Federal patty is f truegling. Let a President take the g )osition pre-assumed by Gen. Ta.jlur, i end I{e is all that the most ultra Whig 6 :ould desire. Without a majority in f Congress, the President, whatever his .1 lisposition might be, would be power. ti ess to carry out a solitary Fedeal mea, ture. He could neither raise the Tariff, ( stablishr a Bank, nor impose the Wil- tl not proviso. MIr Clay himself, with- C mat a majority of Congress to sustain d rim, would be comparatively im,otent u o do harm, except by his Veto Power. Gen. Taylor, therefore, becomes all n hich these ultra Fedcralists of the a No th desire. They are willing to elect dim President, they are content with his nomination, understanding that Ie will probably be supported by men of most intaonistic views to their own ; but their great object is to secure the gov- r ernment of the countiy, by securing the r ajor ity of Congress. " As Congress a s to be the Government under Gen. t Taylor, to securing that Congress all ur efforts must be bent." 'rThe Ve:o Power of the President isi hat arm of the constitution whtich is esigned to protect the wveak from the 't ppression of the strong. it has been alled the roy'al p.erogaetive. ! Yet it is he most Republican tea are in our con, 1 titution. The President is more im- I tediately the repiesentauve of thtt' whole people tha any Congressional1 majority can possibly be. His veto isi the safe-guard of equality. W itihaut t, whem:ver selfish interests conmbinte 4 together in the halls of Congress, unajust, i antt-reptbican L-gslation muwst ,.nsure.i Withouit the exerctse of the Veto Pow er in the past, cant the mtost fertile iagination picture the result of the great system of internal improvements by thes national government, proposed by thn Federal party of the Northt and West ? Upon this subject a degree of corruption already exists in Congress whiich it is alatrnting to contemplate. Controlled rl3tne by selftsh, sectional, considerations; looking alone to the dollars and cents to be secured for this or that State, district or vicinage, by the adoption of a measure (it tmatuers not how unjust or unconstitutionial,) aiminig alone at the popularity to be maude among the people who are to be benefitted by thte improper disbursement of mtone) raised by the commtton taxa tion of* the nation, mtemube.rs of Con giess are ever engaged in thte corrutpt work of log-rolling, combining and confederating together against the con stitution of the country, and the rightts of the people.

QUESTIONS FOR THE DEMO CRACY OF SOUTH-CAROLINA. In 1825 the Democratic Resolations of Judge Smith were adopted, and the Whig Resolutions of Mr. Prioleau re, jected, and Snuth Carolina then became a Democratic State. Is she now ready to surrender all that th,- sttuggles n ith Whiggery,even unto Nullifieation, have gained? Was she ready to draw blood tather than yield to Wtig measures high tariff, nion of Bank and State, National Debt, a system of Inteinal Expenditures to justify heavy taxes, division of the Sales of Public L:andr, lest the duties might be lowered ? Has all the confl'ct of the past produred only the miserable abortion of joining the very Whig party itself. because it sets up a :andidate it would not select unless it was well assured he could be moulded to suit their views, because he is so ignorant of politics as not to know his own mind ? Hl- is boldly set up by the VhiRs as no Whig,and by the Abo li;ionists because he is a free soil advo cate, and by the Slave' States because he is true on the great question ! If the less a man knows the more he is to he trusted, he that knows nothing is Ih. best President. Is not this "a King who can do no wrong," at onc" ? We want a President whose age and experi ence on the subject of Republican, not Military, Govem:eenm can be relied on. To elect a man a President and then send him to school to learn politics, is supreme foily. If Gen. Taylor is not ready to give alt the Abolition Whigs, froni Palftey to Webster, the benefit of the 47th Article of War, in true Jack son style, he won't do for us. It re quires a disinfecting perfume to cover the strong savor of Fed""ralism he has acqAired in the Whig Convention. If he does hold Abolitionism and the Wil mot Proviso " moral treason" to the Constitution, will not the Northern I Whigs be so abject as to give tp all their principles but those seven precious ones.. style.1 by. Randolph "two loav ig -pr cp es ? r . ow'are "t mighty filkn ! Old Clay, honest, old, worn out Clay not to be allowed to set in the big Chair and wander over the White House in his last days, but put' out on the commons to die forgotten, I and his place supplied by one whose stiongest claim is that no one can say, not even himself, what his opinions are upon the great political questions which atitate the Nation ! When Napoleon repudiated Josephine, his destiny was fixed. He struck the heart that was truly his, and leaned upon a stranger. His fate was predicted and accomplished. Thie desertion of Henry Clay has blasted forever tho Whig party as such. It is like a woman taken in adultery. It has lost its character and gone aller strange idols. No one will again be lieve in Whig principles, when a Whig Convention will seek out for a candidate who shows the least possible attachment fur them! who, in fact, is palmed off on " Southern Democrats" as having no Whig principles at ail, almost-a ho-nopathic Whig-whom you cannnot tell from a Democrat, but for his Con ention, Phddelphia-endorsement. It is impossible that the Democrary can be chiselled by such a device by a party afraid or ashamed to figh:t under their old and venerable flag. Thete must be' so'me way to keep thme great body of R. publicans together. Let us try our selves, and see if we have no Demoucrat of our own-neither the B,srnburnems nor Hunkers can adopt Taylor. Is there no one whomi both would unite on! another nomination all routnd. We have two party candidates. Let us have tnow a people's candidate-i un Woodbury or Calhonn against Clay ; and let Aonest Whigs *and Dem,crts have a catididate of their ownt. If it is true, that Cass is not to be ielied oti on the siavery question, 'he South cannot touch him. Tailor can not get the votes of the Northern Whlig States if lhe filly and unequtvocaliy sjvows his resolution to veto any nmeasure of Congress in any way controlling slavemy in the States or Territories; anid if he does not, wvhat inducement can South Carolina have to abandon aill the principles she wvas ready to maittain at the point of the bayonet to vote fur him ! If Taylor loses the Whigs, who are Proviso men, Cass must go in, or a third and bona fide avowed Whig candi date will get those States. The only real qe estion. for South Card~ina is Will Cass be true on the Constitutional question as to the right of Congress to touch the quest ion of slavery ? A t the North he is as sold to the South. The WVhigs here state he is a Pr oviso, or at least a quasi Proviso man. Can any one, speaking from authority, defmnitely settl tat point!? The Demnocrats From tue N. . Weekly Sun. Now TUAT we have acquired some 800,000 :quare miles of territory by the treaty with Mexico, it may not be amiss to know what are some of its natural treasures. Sonora, produces goeld, silver, and pearls ; New Mexico and Santa Fe, gold, silver, and iron ; and Upper Catli ornia, corn, wine and pearls. Quick silver is also found in abundance in Upper California. We have seen a specimen of quicksilver ore taken from the mine of Santa Clara, near the Peubla de San Jose de Gundalipe, only six six ntles from steamboat communi c;atittn on San Francisco Bay. The ore is excoedimgly pure and rich and is "xtensive)v us.d in the silver mines of Western M--xico. The Santa Clara mine is owned by a company in Tepic, Mexico, and two other veins have been opened by Ameri cans near San Francisco, and from appeuarances, the supply of California i quick-silver, when developed by Yan kee enierprise, will be inexitau.table. Contsideiing the arquisition of the bal anre of M. xi'o, sooner or later as our inevitable destiny, the value of these quick silver mines cannot be too highly e"stimated. Yankee enterprise too, will soon unbury the gold, silver and iron m ees that lie hidden in the mountains of Sonora, New Mexico, and Santa Fe. B,-fore a geenerationt passes, the iron ore will be rolled into bars and laid on rail tracks, and moulded into locoaiotives that will go thundei ing over that vast expanse of countty, fl ightening the wild beasts from their haunts, and beat ing the truits of American enterptise from ocean to ocean. The vine grows luxuriantly in Cali fonia, and a few years hence will see our vineyards there, rivalling those of Bo gun !y and the Rhine. California also prodi ;s all the staple grains, and for horse ..,d cattle raising is unrivalled. It has an unlimited supply of choice timber, a luxury denied to many portions of Mexico. he pearl fisheries on the ~~oicetrvenuet9, "' onc=Prebiet dily revived'by our advenrurous ivers; who plunge alike into eartlr 'and ocbn; where treasures are to be drattn up. The climate of the country is fine and will of course be still improved by the clearing up of the wilderness. This new territory will not be left long in its present state.

A very beautiful monum'nt has lately been cut from Concord granite, at Mr. Luther 11uby's stune yard, at the north end of Main street, to be erected inI W. Cambridge, Ms; on the spot where Ja, son lussell and 11 other American cite zrns were killed by the British army on the 19th of April, 1775. It wa- comtpl. ed on the Sd uilt., when all ih . wo k men in the yard assembled around the. nhli"k, and one of their numbe'a, Mr. [I. Lawrence, an old wot kman, wh,o has .tbored hard with hammer und chisel for ore than a quJarter of a cenwtry, being aled ttpon for somne remarks, made the following: "My friends and fellow tmehanics P,efore us is a plain atndl simple, hut eautiful and endturing monmumntn, des ied to be erected on a hallowed spot; spot consecralted by the bhood of free omt; a spot whieb may well he styled I he grave of oitr fit hers--the birath ace f our liberties. This obelisk is to he ~rcted to the miemory of twelve men, hado fell in thin ear ly part ofstrtuggle for I merican [ndepetndence; men, who no. y dared to oppose the gigaintic strides f British ty.annv; nmen who in defence f human rights stood forth erect on the I alh-feld, undismayed by the roar of ritishi thtunder, and atmidst thte red light ig of the war storm; men who pioured s mn their life blood for the political and mi ligious liberties we now enjoy. Antdt o., my friends, standing as we do a ound this granite finger, which is to oint fr9m the htero's blood stained graiver the* hiro's homo in the sky, and pos- r' ssing, as I trust, some small share of s e patr iotism which animated the breasts < if those heroes when at their country's all they offered op their lives in defence f f democratic principl-es, and in view of s e glorious triumph that has ever at- I eded, and which still awaits thte great f rinciples for wvhich they fought and a ied, I think it a suitable time and placei > give three hearty chteers for demo, I racy-for Cass and Butler." This was responded to by three as r 'ear ty cheers as ever rose from the heartsi f an equal-number of New H-ampshtire's I1 rnitesns-Patriot. THE ART OF LIVING WITH OTHERS. In the first plici", if people are to live happily tcgether, they must not fancy, because they aie thrown together now, that all their lives have been , xactly similar up to the present time, that they started exactly alike, and that they are t., be for the f ture of the same tind. A thorough conviction of the diffe:rence of men is the great thing to be .assured of it social knowledge; it is to life what Newton's law is to astronomy. Sometimes mr-n have a knowledge of it with regard to the world in general: they do not expect the outer world to agree with them in all points but are vexed at not being able to drive rbeir own tastes and opinions into those they live with. Diversities distress them. They will not see that there are many forms of virtue and wisdom. Yet we might as well say, " Why all these stars; why this d:flrence; why not all one star ? Many of the rules for people living together in peace follow fron, the above. For instance, not to interfere unreason ably with otters, not to ridicule their tastes, not to question and re-question their resolves, not to indulge in perpetu al comment on their proceedings, and to delight in their having other pursuits than ours, are all based upon a thorough perception of the simple fact that they are not we. Another rule for living happily wi:lt others is, to avoid having stock subjects of disputation. It mostly happens when people live much together that they come to have certain set topics, round which, fro.n frequent dispute, there is such a growth of angry words, mortified vanity, and the like, that the original subject of diffe,-ence becomes a standing subject for quarrel; and there is a ten, dency in all minoi disputes to drift down to it. Again, if people *ish to live .well together; they must not hold too much to logic, and suppose thatYeverytliagh - p . be.settled ^n rirason. - 'wou e t to pa.raW 3e all' -6iies i i. wretclieIiness, who ,should;be doome to adjuss by'eason every morning, al[ the minute detail of a domestic day" But 'the application should be muck more general than he made it. There is no time for such reasonings, and nothing that is worth them. And whcrt we recollect how two lawyers, or .two politicians, can go on contending, and that there is no end of one-side reason ing on any subject, we shall not be sure that anch contention is the best mode for arriving at truth; but certainly it is no the way to arrive at good temper. 11 you would be loved as a"compa nin, avoid unnecessary criticism upon those with whom you live. The num ber of people w%ho ha.ve taken out judes' patets for themselves is very Iar;e in any soci,"ty. Now, it would be iad for a man to live with another who was always criticisin his actions, even f it wete kindly and just criticism. It vould be like living b.tween the glasses f a microncope. But these self-elected u.lges, like their prototypes, are ver y apt o have the persons the judge brought iefore them in the guise of culprits. One of' the most provoking forms of lie criticism above alluded to, is that vhich maty be called criticism over the bioulder. "lHiad I been consuled" 'Had y ou listened to me"--" Btit you Llways wil"-and such short scraps of entences, may temind many of us of lissertations we have suffered and in licted, and of' whtich wve cannot call to nind any soothing en.ff'ct. Anothier rul is, ntot to let familiarity wall->w Up) all courtesy. Many of us rave a habit of sayintg to those with vhlom we live such things- as we say botut strangers behind their backs. rher'e is no place, however, where real olitetess is of more value tharn whtere ~e nmo,tly thinik it would be super fluous. ot ma.y say much rru1h, or rallier peak out more plainly, to your associ% tes, but not less courteously thtan you o to strangers. Again, we must not expect more from te society of our friends antd coinpa ions than it can give ; and especially tust not excep)t contrary things. It is' amewvhat arrogant to talk of travelling' ver other minds (mind being, for what te know, infinite,) but still we become' imiliar with the upper views, tastes nd tempers of our associates ; and it is ardly in matn to estimate justly what is' imiliar to htim. In travelling along at ight, as H aizhitt, says we catch a glimpse ito cheerful-lookinig rooms, wvith light lazing in themt, amnd wec conclude, itt oluntarily, howv happy the inmates' tush be. Yet there is hteaven and hell those rooms, fthe same heatven and elI we have known in others.-Priende'
