For two years past, since the estab

: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

S equalpride and pleasure on

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

din "feeding tat the ancient grudge
thybear" those who have thwvarted

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

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

*~*..'.ext question .was, htow best to seere
"Rtio interests of' the party anmd of' the
,Sputh, within thte pale of the Demto

'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

ytthe Friday preceding tesession of

approval of' those frienids in whorse

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

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

Congress againse oded busiieis
to-day, in Comlplianceeith the usage
which gives the day to public rejoicings.
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. It recominnends the suppres

It is with painful feelings we -ecord
lie death of our fellow-citizen Mr.
Villiam J. Iees. lie died at his resi
lenee, near Statchurg, on Wednesday
morning, the 7th inst., of congestion of
he lungs, in the bloom of youth, leav
ng a ielaneholly void in the hearts
>f a large circle of relatives and
i-iends, and above all a young and
ovely wife to miourn her irreparable
oss. We seldom hear- of "a case of
qual sadness. Mr. Rees was wealthy;
>ut modest and retiring in his manners.
le was surrounded by all the comforts
mnd many of the luxiries of life. De
oved by his neighbors he had passed
Mt six short munths with his interest
ng and aflcetionate wifi; and while the
>right pro.,pect of future bliss and hap
iness was ',prending out befire himi,
e was1L. sulnuoialIed away. 'The zmourn
iil event has east a melancholy gloom
over the community in which lie lived.
H is disease was brought on by expo
tire to tie sun during the injudiciou'
m:ir'ades on the 1st iut. We fear that
ther serious results will follow that
lays work ; but we trust not.
