GEN. SCOTT IN GEORGIAN
The" Augusta Chronicle &
Senti:
states fhat the news of the ndnnoatioa v
Gen. Scotf was not only a source of-!:
and heartfelt mortification, but of Jbz,-'
sal - condemnation among the Wbl'i'S
Union men of that city. ' To-'Mrf -C.C
it has not the slightest objeclUCr
would be pleased to support iHiarV'C-"
inure worthily associated '
The . Kditor of the, S w
:ews states in 111s issue or resteruaT,
that the announcement of the nomination
ol'Gen. Scott caused considerable eycite
nient in that city, as it was unexpected,
and certaiuly unwelcome news toils citi
zens of all parties. !
Tlie News thinks it speaks the convic
tion of all, when it says that Ihe nomina
tion cannot receive the hearty support of
any party in Georgia, and is confident
that in the present "state of feeling the
nomination of a third Presidential ticket,
by the Union Whig delegatesit Baltimore,
would be promptly responded to by the
Whigs of Georgia, most of whom, with
the true Union Vhis of tlie North, would
prefer defeat with Fillmore or Webster,
as national men, to victory with Scott as
a sectional chief ; and adds it shall not be
surprised to see a movement for a third
Presidential ticket in Georgia, which,
while it would defeat the designs of. rueie
sectional men, would preserve the nation
ality of the Whig party of the Union, an
event of the highest importance in the
estimation of all who regard the nation
ality of the No great parties as essential
to tlie perpetuity of the Republic.
THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION.
Facts and figures sometimes play the
duce with theoiy. The late Virginia Con
vention may be taken as a sample of what
North Carolina may expect if she calls a
Convention to remodel her Constitution.
The time of that Convention was consumed
in discussing the Basis question the very
question that would arise with us, to absorb
attention, create delay, excite sectional
jealousies, and reawaken animosities
which the compromises made in 1835 had
laid at rest We invite special attention
to the following ex met which "we copy
from the Southern Literary Messenger for
J ine, 1852. How doe it correspond with
the declarations of "cheapness and expe
ditiousness'' made by conventionists?
RCAD & SHOW IT TO YOUR NEIGHBORS!
"The salutary warning, imparted to the
people of Virginia, by this Convention,
will not easily be forgotten ; nor will they
again hastily call into being and action a
large and irresponsible debating club,
with the name of Reform Convention.
A hue. lethargic, self-existing and many
mouthed monster; not Argus-eyed, silent
and watchful j not of the Cerberus charac
ter, guarding carefully his trust ; but
something that the ancient poets never
dreamed of, unless indeed the one-eyed
Cyclops with his eye torn out be a fit
resemblance; "monstrum horrendum,
informc, ingens, cui lumen ademptum.''
1 his Convention met on the 15th of
October, 1830, and adjourned the 15th
October, 18.31, after a session of nearly
fight months. lt met and adjourned to
1st January. d The large portion
of this time was consumed in discussing
the basis of representation, and when this
war finally adjusted the other important
discussions hail to be hastily made. So
that many things which should have been
carefully considered, were acted on with
out much debate. The members of the
Convention were tired of one another and
worn out with discussion ; the public was
weary of both. The expense accruing to
the State by the session of this body was
more than two hundred thousand dollars ;
an immense sum to pay for so small a re
turn ; the balance is decidedly against the
Commonwealth ; no one ean doubt that
she has lost by the experiment. The
Constitution was adopted by 75.740 votersT
while 1 1.060 cast their votes against it ;
and as there were in Virginia 195,927 men
over twenty one years of age, ("who are all,
or very pearly all, entitled to vote bv this
Constitution,) it follows that of the 195,000
voters in the State, 119.000 were either
openly or. secretly hostile to it; either
iiting against it at the polls, or unwilling
ly acquiescing in it to avoid another
Convention."

We have been delegated to acquaint you with
the nomination, and earnestly to request that
yeu will accept it. Persuaded, as we are, that
this office should not be pursued by an uuchas
tened ambition, it can never be refused by a
dutiful patriotism.
The circumstances under which you will be
presented for the canvass of our country men are
propitious to the interests which the constitu
tion entrusts to our federal Union, and must be
auspicious to your own fame.
You come before the people without the impulse-of
personal wishes, and free from all sel
fish expectations. You are identified w ith none
of the distractions which have recently disturb
ed our country, hi 1st you are known to be
faithful to the constitution to all its guarantees
and compromises. You will be free to exert
your tried abilities, within the path of duty, in
protecting that repose we happily enjoy, and in
giving efficacy and control to those cardinal
principles that have already illustrated the party
which has selected you as its leader principles
that regard the security and prosperity of the
whole country, and the paramount power of its
laws, as indissolubly associated with the per
petuity of our civil and religious liberties.
The convention did not pretermit the duty of
reiterating those principles, and you will find
them prominently set forth, in the resolutions it
adopted. To these we respectfully invite your
attention.
It is firmly believed that to your talentsand
patriotism the security of our holy Union, with
its expanded and expanding interests, " may be
wisely trusted, and that amid all the perils which
may assail the constitution you will have the
heart to love and the arm to defend it.
With congratulations to you and the country
upon this demonstration of its exalted regard,
and tlie patriot hopes that cluster aver it, we
have the honor to be, with all respect, your

Concord, (N. H.,) June 17, 1S52.
Gentlemen: I have the honor 0 acknow-
Irdgfc'J'our personal kindness in presenting to me
this day your letter olScially -informing me of my
nomination, by the Democratic National Con
vention, as a candidate for the Piesidency of the
United States.
The surprise w ith which I received the in
telligence of the nomination .was not unmingled
with painful sol icitude, and yet it is proper Inl
ine to say that the mannerin which it was con
ferred was peculiarly gratifying. The delega
tion from New Hampshire, with all the glow of
State pride and all the warmth of personal re
gard, would not have submitted my name to the
convention, nor would they have cast a vote for
me, under circumstances other than those which
occurred. -
I shall always cherish with pride and gratitude
the recollection of the fact that the voice which
tiit pronounced for me and pronounced alone
came from the mother of States -a pride and
gratitude rising farabove any consequences that
can betide me personally.
May I not regard it as a fact pointing to the
overthrow of sectional jealousies, and looking to
the perennial life and vigor of a Union cemented
by the blood of those who have passed to their
reward a Union wonderful in its formation,
boundless in its hopes, amazing iu its destiny !
I accept the nomination, relying upon an abidi ng
devotion to the interests, the honor, and the
glorv of our whole country, but bevond and
above all, upon a Power superior to all human
might a Power which, from the first gun of the
revolution, in every crisis through which we
have passed, in every hour of our acknowledged
peril, when the dark clouds have shut down
around us, has interposed, as if to baffle human
wisdom, outmatch forecast, and bring out of
darkness the rainbow of promise. Weak myself,
faith and hope repose there iu security. I ac
cept the nomination upon the platform adopted
by the convention, not because this is expected
of me as a candidate, but because the principles
it embraces command the approbation ol' my
judgment; and with them I believe I can sWely
say there has been no w ord nor act of my life in
conflict.
I have only to tender my grateful acknowledg
ments to you, gentlemen, to tlie convention of
which you were members, and to the people of
our common country.
I am, with the highest respect, your most obe
dient servant, FRANK. PIERCE.

Washington, June 21, 1S52.
Sir: The democratic republican party, which
met in convention at Baltimore the first of June,
nominated you as its candidate in the ensuing
election for the elevated office of Vice President
of the United States. The duty of communicat
ing it to you has been assigned us, and we re
spectfully ask you to accept it.
The length of your public life, and the virtue
and ability which have characterized it, make
you known to the whole country, and give both
the Union and the States the acceptable as
surance that to you may be well confided all the
responsibilities of this high trust, whether they
be immediate or contingent. The foreign and
iutestine trials through which our country has
passed while you were in its service have proved
that irt every difficulty you were wise, temperate,
and firm. Your labors have eminently tended to
guard the rights of the States, and to protect the
integrity and safety of the Union. The resolu
tions adopted by the convention set forth the
cardinal principles of the republican school of
politics, and your past fidelity to them does not
allow us to doubt of your continued devotion to
these fundamental doctrines. It is this estab
lished fidelity joined to a just appreciation of
practised abilities, your great experience, and
your unsullied worth which attracted to you
the public mind, and awarded to you this distin
guished proof of its unsolicited approbation.
With all all respect, vour obedient servants,

I cheerfully accept the nomination with which
I have been honored. t - .' -

have been pleased, gentlemen, to characterize
my public services, I feel that I am indebted to
the personal rgard which I am proud to know

greatly overrate them. The only merit I can
lay claim to is an honest discharge of the duties
of the various positions with which I have been
honored. This I claim nothing more.

From the Southern Pres.
UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.
We have iust finished the perusal of
"Uncle Tout's Cabin," a work in two
volumes of more than three -hundred pages
each, which appeared originally in the
National Era, in a succession id' numbers, j
and has recently been re-published in its
present form. The papers inform us that
already, within eleven weeks of its re
publication, eighty thousand copies of it
have been sold at the rate of a dollar to a
dollar ami a quarter per copy.
The authoress of this work is Harriet
Beecher Stowe, wife of Professor Stowe,
and daughter of Dr Beecher. She resided
for many years, before and after marriage,
at Cincinnati. Uncle Tom's Cabin" is an
anti-slavery novel. It is a caricature of
slavery, it selects for description the
most odiou3 features of slavery the
escape and pursuit of fugitive slaves, the
sale antl separation of domestic slaves,
the separation of husbands and wives,
parents and children, brothers and sisters.
It portrays the slaves of the story as more
moral, intelligent, courageous, elegant
and beautiful than their musters and mis
tresses ; and where it concedes any of
these qualities to the whites, it is to such
only, as are, even though slaveholders,
opposed to slaver'. Those in favor of
slavery are slave-traders, slave-catchers,
and the most weak, depraved, cruel and
malignant of beings or demons.
It is a little curious, that the two works
on slavery which have attained the largest
circulation since the W'ilmot proviso was
proposed, have both emanated from Cincin
nati. The first, the lecture on "the
North and the South," by the senior editor
of this paper ; the other, 'UncIe Tom's
Cabin." W the lecture, about three
hundred thousand copies were printed in
pamphlets ami newspapers. The novel
will probably reach an equal circulation.
It deserves to be considered tiiat the
defence of the South was a documentary
argument, consisting chiefly of a collec
tion of all the evidence on the subject
which existed in an authentic shape.
The attack on the South is a novel a
romance. The system of the South relies
on fact the sentiment of the North flies
to fiction. This is significant. For some
time before, the N01 th, the practical,
calculating: and unimaginative North,
claimed the facts. But since the appear
ance of the North ami the South," that
pretension his almost been abandoned.
We have been struck with the almost
total abstinence of the northern press from
all allusions to the result of the last Census,
when discussing the slavery question.
That Census has vindicated triumphantly
the positions of the lecture on the North
ami the South.'' Now, what is the value
of a work of fiction in this controversy ?
What would be its value, even if every
incident it contains were founded on fact,
as the writer intimates? Why just no
thing at all. Kvery man who is accustom
ed tfi reason is familiar with the artifice of
a discomfited antagonist. When refuted
in argument, when overwhelmed with evi
dence, he insists on relating an anecdote,
or telling a story he retreats into fiction,
or cites a particular instance although
every one capable of reasoning knows that
any proposition can be maintained, or
any institution be overthrown, if the
citation of particular incidents is accepted
as argument. Government, society, law,
civilization itself would fall in an hour,
if we were to listen to the stories of the
wrong and ruin that incidentally or excep
tionally attend them. Do not
murderers
escape are not the innocent sometimes
put to death under the administration of
criminal law ? Ami yet who would
abolish it, even if hundreds of novels
were written to illustrate its defects, or
under pretence of exposing its enormity ?
Do we not find bad men with wealth and
good men in want then why not have a
novel to prove it, antl to insist on the
abotition of property ? Nay, there is reli
gion itself, whose "institution cannot be
divested of superstition, hypocrisy, and
fanaticism. How many romances could
be written and have been written to illus
trate these latter ? tyet must we abolish
religion ?
A Prediction that Will Com k to
Pass. On Saturday evening la-t Ihe
Democracy of Buffalo. N Y., held a large
and spirited ratification meeting. Among
other resolutions ihe following was adopted:
Resolved, That the pLvrronar of PniTTciyt
adopted at the recent Baltimore Convention is .
just exposition of the senti mentk f the t)mi
cratic party of the nation, and will be cordially
sustained and defended bj the Democrat .of the
Empire State. . .: .,
After the adoption of the resolutions a
number of gentlemen spoke, moo whom
was Mr Howard,. of Tenn. Mr Howard,
in the course, of his remarks, related an in
cident(ieJrW said tvttlii be?- Interests
ing to Democrats, the truth of which wu
vouched by Gen. Armstrong, of the
Washington Union and J. Knox Walker,
Kaq., private Secretary to President Polk.
When Mr Polk signed the commission of
Gen. Pierce, appointing him to a command

Tie Union Party i Alabama.
The Vnion party of Alabama, if we re
collect rightly, some months since held a
Convention, at which they nominated a
Union eltctoral ticket and appointed dele
gates to', a National Union Convention.
Since the nomination of Pierce and King,
we observe that a prominent member of
the party, Mr J. M. Tarleton, a Union
Democrat, has repudiated all connection
with it. The Mobile Advertiser (Whig)
thinks that very soon a lighted candle will
be necessary far the discovery of a Demo
crat who is in communion with the Union
organization. . In other words, the Union
Democrats of that State seem all to be
uniting themselves" with the Democratic
party in support of its nominees. Where
Jere Clemens is to go, no or.e seems to

South Carolina. Mr Orr. in tho
House of Representatives on Thursday,
said, he was convinced that the nomina

response and cordial support in South
Carolina." He sees in it bright hopes of
promise that the country will return to
those wise and patriotic republican doc
trines which dictated and controlled the
administration of .tla imtmirtul JeliWaon.

Gen. Pif.rck on Slavery Agitation.
In the United States Senate on the 2l.t
of February, 1 839, Gen. Pierce presented
an Abolition petition from New Hampshire,
which he accompanied with the following
remarks:
' I do earnestly hope, that every honest
man who has sincerely at heart the best
interests of the slave ami master, may no
longer be governed by a blind zeal and
impulse, but be led to examine this subject,
so full of delicacy and danger in all its
bearings ; and that when called upon to
lend their names and influence to the
cause of agitation, they remember that
we live under a written Constitution, which
is' the panoply and protection of the South
us well as the North ; that it covers the
whole Union, and is equally a guarantee
for the unmolested enjoyment of the
democratic institution, in all its parts ;
and I trust further, that they will no longer
close their eyes to the fact, that so far as
those iu whose welfare they express so
much feeling are concerned, this foreign
interference has been and must inevitably
continue to be, only evil."
TIIK UPAS TREE OK THE ISTHMUS.
From the rauaiua Herald. Jud 1.
Some time since, we saw comments inn
United States paper upon an article taken
from a Panama paper, (which we do not
recollect.) stating that a man named James
Linn had been found dead under a tree on
the Gorgona road and that upon examining
the tree, the natives pronounecd it highly
poisonous, producing death to anyone who
should sleep under it.
Hiding out upon the "Plains, a few
miles from the city, with a friend, we had
the fortune to have several of these trees
pointed out to us. As far around each as
its branches extended, the grass was dead
the ground almost bare, whilst all be
yond it was fresh and green. Each tree
seemed to form a circle around it, by the
appearance presented by the dead and live
grass. They were all alike in this respect
and the trees all of the same appearance
and character. Occasionally the skull of
a dead mule or animal were to be found
1 lying either directly under the tree or near
by, indicating the ettects 01 us ueauijr
poison. Anxious as we felt to procure a
branch, and bring it to the city, that its
fluids might be subjected to chemical ana
lysis we were deterred by the threatening
appearance tby presented.
