& v 3r;. ' i Declaration of the Democratic Candidates for tlie Presidency for the Compromise. The Hon. Robert G. Scott, of Richmond, Va., the Democratic Elector for President in that district, a few days ago, addressed a letter to all the Democratic cnndidatcs spoken of for the "*? ' ' - ?L!? JX-I- Anlnmi, tlin nnmnm. iresiaency, asking men upimvu v.? ??v raise measures, particularly the Fugitive Slave law. Several answers have been returned, the substance of which is thus furnished in the NewYork Herald of Tuesday. Gen. Houston replied, under date of the 21st inst., that he voted for all the measures embra ced in the Compromise bill, severally, and he has since seen no cause to change his views. He declares that be would not hesitate to veto any bill impairing the law for the protection of the constitutional rights which guarantees to the people of the South the possession aud enjoyment of their slave property. Gen. Cass writes, under date of the 24th in~ - ' 11 stant, declaring his acquiescence m an me v^jlhpromise mearures. He expresses the opinion that it would be the duty of the President to veto any bill that weakened or impaired the fulfilment of the constitutional obligation to deliver up fugitive slaves, as enforced by the Fugitive Slave law. He declares the sacrifices of individual opinion, in opposition to any of the Compromise measures, to be a duty every good citizen owes his country and the preservation of the Union. Judge Douglas also writes under the same date. He adverts to his past public career, as showing his opinions as to the compromise measures, and says his views have undergone no change. He does not hesitate to state expressly, that it is the duty of every true American to oppose the repeal or modification of the fugitive slave law, that would impair the fulfilment of the Constitutional obligation on that subject.? Tet he would not yield the patronage of the government to influence the Legislature on that or any other subject. Col. W. R. King, of Alabama, writes that he acquiesces in the Compromise. He regards the fugitive slave law, not in the light of ordinary legislation, but that it is to carry out a constitutional guarantee, and the President ought to negative any act the effect of which would be to impair or weaken its efficiency. Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, has replied that he acquiesces in all the Compromise measures ; but that he is not a candidate for the - Presidency, having long since expressed a preference for a distinguished statesman, (Gen. Cass.) He considers it the duty of the President to veto any measure which in any way would impair the efficiency of the fugitive slave law. Gen. Rusk has replied, by taking the same decided stand with the foregoing, but disclaims any aspirations for the Presidency. He avows his * ^ 1 TT 4 preterencc ior uenerai nousion uvt-i <ui vmcio. ?Several other replies have been written. ^ ; . Correspondence of the X. F. Journal of Commerce. Washington, Thursday, May 27. As South Carolina and the whole South are now likely to be represented in the Whig National Convention, Mr. Seward's estimate which I noticed yesterday, cannot possibly be realized. Even granting Mr. Seward the fifteen Southern votes which he claims, Gen. Scott cannot be nominated unless some of those Northern dele gates elected as Webster and Fillmore men should vote for General Scott, and that is not at all likely. There is an increasing prospect, as is . admitted here, of the nomination of Mr. Webster. The joint majority of Webster and Fillmore delegates will head Gen, Scott, but still Mr. Fillmore will not have a majority, unless some of the Scott or Webster men go tor him? ' which is not probable. There is no reason why t the friends of Mr. Fillmore should not go for Mr. Webster. The Soushern Whigs preferred Mr. Webster, and, for some time after the noble stand which he took on the 7th of March 1850, generally regarded him as their candidate for the next Presidency. But, subsequently, Mr. Fillmore, as leader of the administration, naturally attracted their support, and especially the support of those who held or sought f ederal olhce. jne uacKwaruness of the North in bringing forward Mr. Web ater, was another reason why the Southern "Whigs generally declared for Mr. Fillmore. They are now disposed to go lor Mr. Webster, especially as they doubt whether Mr. Fillmore can be elected. In fine, they know that Mr. Fillmore cannot carry a single Northern State, and that Mr. Webster can probably carry New York and all the Northern Whig States. According to the best opinions, Mr. Webster can carry the State of Maine, and General Scott cannot. The few Southern Whigs who have declared for General Scott, are influenced chiefly by the belief that General Scott is the most available of the Whig candidates. This opinion is losing strength, and is contradicted by stubborn facts. The Scott delegates of the Northern States ?III ? e. _ t?:ii ? nf win uut go iur ivir. x'iinuuiv?uv, uvi wnv v. them; and, if the friends of Mr. Webster stand firm, lie wont be the nominee. The Southern delegates will go for Mr. Webster after the sec- I ond ballot, or all signs will fail. The Scott del- j cgates will greatly prefer Mr. Webster to Mr. ] ^ Fillmore, and ultimately, the Convention may tf^ncur with almost entire unanimity in the nomintftioo of Mr. Webster. Though Mr. Fillmore may not withdraw his '?srr;e~aw_a candidate, vet still he will pro'jably let his friends understand j that he docs not wish his name to be pressed at j the risk of throwing the nomination into the > hands of the Seward party. Cholera.?We are surprised to learn that very exaggerated reports in regard to the prevalence of cholera in this city are rife in the country in all directions. We have made the most industrious enquiry into their foundation aud find that there have been, in all, three fatal cttses iu town, according to the best information we ean get, and these in the lower part of the city, near the mouth of Lick Branch, where the ground is subject to overflow. There is no epidemic, and no apprehension of one entertained by those who beet understand the matter. There has been no new case that we could hear of since the above, which occurred about the middle of laat week. ?dTaskville True Whig.

A valued old friend, himself a Northern man, but for thirtyodd years a citizen of South Carolina, called to see us a few days since; as the "old man eloquent," speaking of the aggressions of the North upon the rights ot the South, knowing, from experience, the feeling, habits and interests '1 c ^:i., lnrl #viiinfrr ot bom sections 01 our uiiiuippuj ,, gave expression to seme thoughts, we think, worthy of preservation the reader, we trust, will not be displeased if, in the language of the lawyers, we brief our aged friend's sensible remarks. He ?aid, what no sensible man will gainsay, that now all great questions of national right and expediency were decided in reference, not to the omnipotent cannon and musket, as formerly, but in reference to the remarkable?most remarkable improvement of the; go, the almighty dollar! From this sage elementary modern principje of ethics and "rights of belligerent nations," our friend proceeded to discourse this wise: "I assume it as an axiom,?an admitted fact? that, of all people on the face of the earth, the vankees arc the mast sharp sighted in the pursuit of gain. You ask what conclusion I draw from this self-evident proposition? It "is this.? The Northern people, with their great good sense and a thorough knowledge of which side of their bread is buttered, perfectly know?and the old gentleman gave the word ' perfectly' a peculiar amphasis?that if they separate from the South, their great customer, the purchaser of her manufactures, cotton, wood, iron, and whatnot, and the rich, but plundered, used and abused South, sets up for itself?regards the North as an alien and a stranger, poverty and utter ruin must ini.? ?l,? mhilunlhrnnic North. tJYJUtUl^y UW LUC UWIli VI vuv ~1 This I assort they know, because thoy have told me so, and, if they had not so said, I would not believe them, because they have the souse to pcrcieve it. Well, sir, what is the inference as to the true course of the South to be observed in view of this great fact? It is as plain and certain as gain to the yankces. As an offset to their fanaticism on the subject of slavery, set off and array the still more all powerful fanaticism, with them, of the love of money. This is the 'open Sesame' of a yankee's heart, the lamp of Aladin which commands the kevs to all the treasures of his nature. Let the South, with a united front, with firm and serried ranks, say to their Northern enemies, you must?}vu shall cease your aggressions on our rights and property, or we will dis solve the Union and beggar you, and the North ?11 ~ ~ - - -I a??, fonno t/\ covn tltn rlimrK; wjn acci'uu iu ?uy ia,?uio dv??uiv uuv V..4..VW. If Southern traitors in Congress, more greedy of gain than gloiy and gratitude from their constituents had not basely surrendered the rights of their section, under the specious show of a compromise of rights?the rights of the plundered extorted from the victimized?this day Southern men, with their slaves, would have occupied their lawful heritage, the conquered territory of Mexico, instead of being, as they now ignomiuiously are, denied rest for the sole of tecir feet, on a soil won, mainly, by their own blood and treasure. How true, and. what a rebuke to Southern traitors! coming, as it does, from an honest and intelligent Southern Yankee. [Greenville Mountaineer. Proposed Amendment ofthe Fugitive Slave Law.?The following are the resolutions proposed by the Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates on the Gorsuch case : Resolved, That while the people of Maryland i- .1 ; .1 most coruiauy acquiesce m mc ciui/mced in the Compriinise measures of Congress, as a final adjustment of all the questions growing out of the institution of Slavery, common justice, as well as a proper regard for their own rights require that they should insist, whenever either of those measures shall be found defective in its practical operations, that it shall be so amended as to render it efficient for the purposes contemplated in its adoption. Resolved; That experience has demonstrated the "Fugitive Slave act" to be impotent for the purposes it was intended to effect, by reason of the failure of Congress to enforce, by adequate penalties, the attendance and aid of the " posse comitatus," when required hy the officer charged with the execution of the law. Therefore such an amendment by Congress will render the net efficient and operative iu this respect, is imperatively necessary. Resolved, That our Senators be instructed, and our Represeniativcs in Congress requested, to use their best efforts to have the law amended in the manner indicated in the preceding resolution. m St. Ciiaiu.es Hotel.?Tins grand ana stately edifice is rapidly approaching completion.? The ultimate height of the walls to receive the roof has been reached, and notwithstanding that to a passer by the number of workmen scattered about the huge building seems insufficient to effect much towards its progress, yet every day reveals a marked step in advance. We are glad to see in another column official evidence that the hotel will be finished by December next.? The Secretary of the company call for proposals not only to do the painting required on the building but also for the lease of the hotel and separately for the stores, possession to be given in December, 1852. This is a gratifying proof of the energy and skill with which the Directors of the hotel Company, its agents, architects, and builders have prosecuted their arduous labors. [Picayune. There are some cases of Cholera in the hospital Cincinnati, and the fact is thus alluded to in the Atlas d' the 24th: There is, as informed, no evidence of the existence of choiera lis an epidemic, in Cincinnalti. Several cases, however, of decided cholera have occurred at the Commercial Hospital, and in private pactice, all of which are traceable to the river for their origin ; and so far as it is known there lias Wen no case originating here. The number of cholera patients at the Hospital up to yesterday noon had been six, two of which have terminated fatally. There are no appearances of the premonitory symptoms among the citizens, nor any indications of a speedy approach of the epidemic except that imported.

"We learn by Telegraphic despatches that this body assembled on Monday. Hon. R. M. Saunders of N. Carolina was appointed President pro tern, and Edw'd. C. West, of Now York, Mr. Stewart of Indiana, Mr. Day, of Miss., and Col. Yerboss ofTenn. chosen Secretaries. Great confusion is said to have prevailed in consequence of tho large number of delegates present from several of the States. The appointment or Committees to report on the credentials of tho delegates, and to provide for the permanent organization of the Convention, completed the business of the morning, and tho Convention adjourned to 5 o'clock, p. m. General Commander was present, and it is said, looked as large as life. General Commander. From whom does this gallant Cwnmander receive his authority to represent South Carolina in the Baltimore Convention? Contending among the political hacks, as well as quacks, in the game of Presidential swindling and humbugging, South Carolina will occupy about as much space and consideration in that meeting, as a mouse would in a mountain. Winnsboro' Register. We learn by the Register of the 1st inst., that our friend Jonathan- B. Mickle Esq. has connected himself with Mr. Britton in the publication of that paper. Wo are quite sure that tho Register under tho associated management of these gentlemen will prove all that its friends desire. Mr. Mickle makes his editorial debut in an appropriate and handsome manner. In relation to the political course of the paper, ho says: "To tho readers of the Register I would say, as to my politics, that I believe the time has passed when any distinctions should be known among us, except so far as to distinguish between tho great Southern Rights party and the small, the weak, though not disrespectable, Union Party. Consequently, my efforts shall be devoted to endeavoring to heal old party ill-feelings, and uniting aud harmonizing all parties upon one common etlective resisieucc piauunu. Mr. Clay's Sickness. The New York Express makes this statement, illustrating the very frail tenuro by which Mr. Clay now retains his lito. The editor derived the statement from Dr. Jackson: "One featute of his feebleness is that ho cannot support himself alone, and is not allowed to walk, "even with the support of others. Dr. Jackson told him recently that if ho stood erect he would faiut, and that if ho should faint he would breathe no more 'Why is this,' asked Mr. Clay. 'Because there is not enough of vitality in the heart to give circulation to blood.' 'Has it then come to this?' said Mr. Clay, and for a moment, sorrowfully. And seeing the necessity, ho lias suffered himself to bo borne like a child to and from his bed. Mr. Clay, throughout, has studied his disease, if disease it be. critically, thoughtfully, and even physically, lie litis watched the gradual wasting away of life, until there is but the faintest pulsation loft to tell him that the spirit still survives within its emaciated tenement of flesh. He will die calmly and beautifully, as he has lived, and his spirit will depart full of the christian hope of a blessed immortality." Labor. In thoso Stat09 and countries where negro slavery does not exist, the white man performs the same labor that the black does with us; and as those who hire themselves to work, have no claim upon their employers, except for their wages, there is consequently 110 sympathy between the two classes. The competition which exists brings wages down t? the lowest possible sum. Thi9 state of things which obtains where there is no slave labor, producesan amount of suffcringand wretchedness of which wo, who live in slave countries, can form no idea, unless wo have travelled iu thoso countries; for, among us, things are so different that we cannot imagine what privations and distress, abound among those who occupy the place of our slaves. In the non-slaveholding States, there is no feeling of mutual dependence and interest, as there is between master and slave. The selfishness of the employer leads him to procuro tho services of the other for the smallest sum lie can, and as a consequence, the laborer is seldom ablo to do more than to supply his daily wauts> often not even that, so that in case of sickness thero is great want, privation, and suffering In the slave States, the caso is vastly different; tho negro is well ted and clothed, whether his master prospers or not, food and raiment, and medical attendance are furnished him; his task is moderate; his family do not depend upon him, but on his master for support. In old age tho negro is provided for by his owner, and not like tho white man, cast out apon tho cold charity of the world. TIow intlnJt-fy tnore comfortable is the condition of our jjaves, to that of the white man, that lills his place in non-slaveholding communities. There, the condition of things is pressing him downward year by year, to a worso slate?with us, the state of the slave is improv ing. An increase of means to the master, bfings an incrcaso of comfort to the slave. Not so to tho white man?if his employer abounds in wealth, it brings no corresponding increase of means to supply his wants; his scanty hire he still gets, and that is all?and from your to year, as competition in labor increases, that oven diminishes. The condition of tho white laborer has becu steadily getting worso since the feudal times, and iu considering this subject, Carlylo says, that there is no remedy, except by a return to slavery of some kind. * * Lieut.

His escape was arranged by his friends in the Colony ; and there was no violation of his parole in availing himself of the means thus provided. He gave up his ticket of leave before lie quitted the island.
