'hat si has been p-rotraeted., -far loitnger ps agreeable to either .t' us, !Y v~e .Verr have...heen at'eus tom1ed necal our opinions on aty subject ublie: interest. In this case we ve only consented to waive their ex. passion, for a time, in order to allow Frties- interested to relieve us, and iemselves, from a most painful aiid n burrasiug position. Self' respect I not admit of our keeping silence 6figer. It is our right and our duty w to speak. - For two years past, since the estab shnent of this paper, it has beeni ti :he conduct and control of Mlr. sher .and -myself; and during the ihpJp. of our connection no serious . fllerence of sentiment has ever bef ore N?'isen between us. Our diflerenee Sow(as I regard it,) turns on .a gues * tion of.policy, not of principles35; for the prinmples we have ever avowed and maintained are still entertained by us Soth. Those principles neither of us , r 1d hang(; and we can look S equalpride and pleasure on thayrecord of our labors which the " . outhern Press bears and,will perpetu te as the fruit of two year's earnest The question which divides us now " whether the Southern Press should ,lend its aid and influence to the support qf Pierce and King, or stand neutral ni' ti:.Pxresidential contest ? My col league ifdp Ivor of the latter epumrse r py:,own. jlidgment has led me to prefer -the former. But I am free to donfess that events which have recently tran'spired have created doubts in my h r owwu mind as to the good faith of a rtion of that party, and belied the rofessions of conciliation and hautrmno 'a' on their lips. A voice supposed t) tve come from a higherqtuarter, has minated excommunications on the Ai$dutliern Preos. its friends and sup porters, orally , through one of its ,~ ~ ~ M4 ud >i1i ""I3c, res. u tcordnd ai . o: to be denounced and pro e' cribed before the necessity for their Aid is over, what have they to expect . A : fterthat lecesraty has past? I. . "Old b~~. 'Fqgies" of the party are to be intdulg din "feeding tat the ancient grudge thybear" those who have thwvarted tetr views .of personal aggrandize upnhowv can they expect thteir' Demo ep ratie brethren to dwell in unity '? In .,solent and unprovoked as the assaults b ' ~e been, they are not wtithout at mo1 tL~ye; for the kiss of' Judas is oftent not iqore treherous than the noisy vaipor' nig of the stabber, seeking to provok~e a 1gawl. The met tle of the Southertn mnen has been mucht overrated, if' they ' w.ill nppl,,y endure such buflet tinigs, og egnegt to sit at the D~enuoeratic Epardi ,a.g "prodigal saons," even with a reinote prospect of a sliee of' the titt ted cal1 oopparty.. It iswellknov,;n that, previous to the reorganization~of' the Delmocratic party,.we strennously insisted on thle * ge'servation. of the separ'ate orgatniza ,jtipn of the Southern Rights party un Stil the ponventions had actedl, believ Sing~ that our friends. would have mnore pywar .outside than .inside of' those C ilyentions. .In that po licy' we wereO o'W verrued; .the. reorgatnization was ef #' feeted on certain conditions, and~ the *~*..'.ext question .was, htow best to seere "Rtio interests of' the party anmd of' the ,Sputh, within thte pale of the Demto -rptio party. My colleagute was tuna '9idably absent for somte weeks prec. ecding-the session of the Demucriatie "Convention, and feelintg the necessit y of taking position, I took the r'espons~i . :bility of' indicating the course w hieh was, in my- udcgment, proper fior the party to pursue. 'In a carefinly 'oni -' sigelred editorial, wili appeared on ytthe Friday preceding tesession of dicated. On its appe rance it n'rit the approval of' those frienids in whorse opinions I place the ftnost reliance. For that editor'ial necither Mir. F'irhr rienr any of my political fiins shotuld bg held responsible, for' none of' thi mi wpre eghpr- consulted or cognizant of it.beforiehi appeai~d in pr'int. Subse quent reflection and ediminiationt have only convinced me the'mi-ie firmly of -the correctness of the viev.s set fortht ini that editorial. I still adhiere to thmas right andl judicious, alid ini >~perfect harmony witht onur anitecedents San~d those of our party. It wtould 'he , nepdless for me her'e to reiteraite the raosand the argutmtents theni s~ filly affh It is suifiiicint to refler to ~'~p , and .To refir'm my convict ion of S5 'th r...trti. Those who carmefumlly ff\mghed ang considerecd the Ian gualg~e hat ed~itorial must adtmit thatt its uf~~nsitiops wvenm not fully met by the f (thg Coriventtin especially in p04n to tha platformi. But they ets~ ed t aetign of the Whig (!on ton, for th ndTmnees were select the South, andl have *proved ~neceptable to the Southernhant t~~s rh Nlthern w~ing of tihe palrty. ~'~ (-~'~~..~'ile as to all Spthebrn olponent s ~fth (opromnsdr tiero' are itt that eonh estures, aind I coilduot anestly pledc'o myself;-" to adheI t-o nnd abide by all the strine of resolutions it contains or imnplies. Yet, when the Southern Rights meii ir that Conveution agreed to abide by 'ts action, and presented candidates personally uttobjectionablo to us on: the cnain issue, and it became evi. deit that those whose interests and principles the Southern Press rep. resented .:and , warmly accepted the nominatin--it. seenhed to mle that the quc.stion : was narrowed down to a choice between the two parties and in making that choice I could not hesitate it moment, assuming the fliel that the frith they plighted would ht kept inviolate. It seelned to ime, that a "imasterly inactivity" would not ani swer in this case; and that tr the sakc of our friends, end the ultimate tri titnlh of our principles, it wais ii ipor talt, promnpt-ly and openly to sustain the noizines of the )euoeratic party, and - oppose tie triunphi of (eera Scott, and the - evil influences whiel surround hiin. This was rmy jIu(lg Jnient. My colleague thouhiit other wise; and I cheerfully accord him th< samte justice lie will award to lie, that a strltg coivictioll alone l:s swayed his course. lie was ontixious, and in tlct insisted upon promptly etxpremit his views on the Min4idar succeeding and was only withheld ti-ont doing se by my remonstranees and deelaration: of decided dissent. As the proprietor of this paper in had the u1indoubted right to give it. thu direction. as I had the right to avov miy OWii indepenldent opinions; bitt w< both hoped e inight, he relieved from this anta, isni by the action o the Soutlherni L guts mnci in Congress at whose imitation we came here, ani whose battles we had fought. At my. request, we submlitte(i our difficulty ti them, and proposed to resign our trust into oilher hmnds. The result of that negotiation thus fi-, has been al read y statid; and Ir. .Fisher; as tier as I an concerned, is rcleaied from any inpedi nient on that score, anid i-ce to pursui any couirse lie miay deem proper. have done ly duty, and inure thiai my, duty, in 'initerposin and14 mieditati thus long, and as it has proved, ttu: ;tir, so ti-uitleissly.

Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, in rising, said it was his intention to present to the house and the country some eon siderations connected with the ap proachiing Presidential election. The tusk was not an agreeable one to him. The fiets and details were dry and tni interesting. and beeine iiniportant on ly when considered with relrence to that great event,. There was but one( hiotive which governed hi m in ap proaching this tusk, and that was pub. lie duty.

Very little progress was made in busi ness last week. The monster land'bill is still before the Comninttee on Public Lands, of the Senate, and its lute is unee nain. That bill provides for the di;tribution among the States, old and new, of six ty-three niili ms of acres of public do mtin. The old States, however, get but a small sitare-only 150,000 acres ihr each Se'nator or I epresentative. The quantity of public land thus to be taken fur the d istribution, is norc than one halt of the whole quaiitit' that has been, since the foriiation of the Gov ernnitelt, di'posed of by sale mid do nation. The whole nniber of acres that, have becn disposed of is one huni dred and (ne inillions; the whole quan tity remaining, including aequisitions from Mexico, and hinds to which the Indian title has not, been extinguished, is thirteen hutdred inillions of acres. The Select Conmuittee of the Senite, on the Census printing, have ilade a report, ngainst ti he adt.jptin of the planI of Iulileation pr(joosed by the Census liircaui.
