The .Volunteers are nearly all native American cit

ble distilled, highly concentrated, in full panoply,
bursting from the brainof Tyranny and stand on
eiir own soil free, emancipated, disenthralled by the
irresistible 'genius &c. So say the Loco Focos
particularly just before' an election. Well, impelled
by their love of freedom and fighting, they join our
army, swell its ranks and are led to the wars by as
brave and skilful Officers as the world ever saw.
We should suppose that under these circumstances,
these fresh born freemen, fighting in freedom's great i
cause, would be most accomplished and desperate
warriors. How does it happen that the Volunteers
have shamed them so 1 As the Loco Focos said a
few months ago why. forsooth, there are more Vo-
unteers'than Regulars, and an election coming on,
mnst be counted. Well, Jut the rank and file of
the Army proper, are mostly foreigners, and as there
are many thousands of such in our Cities, they must
be counted too. Now, we venture to foretell, that
from this time until after our Fall elections, the Re
gular army and Foreigners generally, will be pro
nounced by Loco Foco authority to be the best and
bravest citizens we have. But after that, the old
story will be repeated, that they cannot hold a can
dle to our brave Volunteers.
GEN. TAYLOR AND THE WAR.
Three smart Locp Focos of Ctuincy, Illinois, some
time ago, wrote to Gen. Taylor, for his opinion of
the origin of the Mexican war. The object of these
young gentlemen was to get something from Old
Zach to enable them to abuse him, as we suppose.
This was a very u small potato business" on tb6r
part. The old Hero thus answers their letter:
Baton Rouge, La, Feb. 28, 1848.

the country is engaged.

chiefly in relation to the amendment or substi

Mr. Badger followed at length, in reply.

ELEVATE THE MASSES.
Mankind have as much to fear from Demagogues,
as they have from Tyrants, Virtue and intelligence
are the only effectual barriers, that have ever been
erected in defence of life, liberty and property. Ev
ery other mound has been sweft away by popular com
motion, or has been pulled down by the strong arm
of force. The way for a State to euard aeainst en-
croachments, is not to prate about her sovereignty,
but to erect an intellectual wall around her rights. -
When Education is placed within the reach of the
masses, we need have no fear about the perpetuity of
freedom, or of our institutions. The blessings en
joyed by the people, with a proper .moral and reli
gious restraint, form the strongest Safeguard against
external and internal foes, that can in any event be
made by a nation. Standing armies; navies and
fortifications, areas nothinz in cotnrarison -these

a time through any country destruction ; but they
are not the elements for buildinjr. up and protecting
permanently a country of freedom. Elevating the
Condition of the masses, ought to be the great desid
eratum of our legislation ; for, in accomplishment of
this, almost every great object ot legislation is at
tained.

Mr. Gales : 1 beg leave to call the attention of
the Democrats of North Carolina to one feature of
the Debate which was recently had in the United
States Senate in reference to the Kidnapping, $-c,
in the District of Columbia.
It will be remembered that Mr. Footer of Miss.,
denounced in strong terms his former Democratic
Ally, Hale, of New Hampshire, for his fanatical
course on the subject of bla very. He even went so
fur as to threaten the Hon. feenator with Lynch Law,
if he should ever place his feet on the soil of Mis
sissippi. Such a threat was well calculated to make
Hale a person of more importance than ever, with
the Abolitionists at the North ; and have him re
garded as a promised martyr to their cause. Hale,
it is known, has been nominated, and is spoken of bs
the Abolition Candidate tor the Presidency. This,
then was rather a pred ic ament a delicate situation
indeed, for the Democracy to be placed in,Tor it was
readily to be perceived, that if Footers denunciation
went uhsofteneddt would leave the tendency to drive
Democratic Abolitionists from the Baltimore nomi
nee, to Hale. What then was the resort ? Who
came to the rescue? Why th;tt same Mr. Douglas
who appeared as the expounder of Democratic
Doctrines and political adviser of the faithful Dem
ocrats, and the "benighted" Whigs too at the late
Locofoco Convention ! Mr. D. L no doubt a sharp
sighted politician, and saw in the twinkling of an
eve, what the Mississippi benator's violence was
doing. He begs him therefore to desist tells him
that he could have adopted no better course to man

against him, was worth ten thousand abolition votes

than a mere hint, that every blow he strikes Hale

and concentrates them upon him as their Candidate

Mr Burt, from the committee on Military Af

act of the 18th of June, 1847, which makes it im
perative upon the President of the United States,
when the war with Mexico shall have terminated
and a treaty bf peace been ratified, to reduce the
number of Major Generals to one and the number
of Brigadier Generals to two the same as before
the war without regard to the date of commis
sion. .
Mr. Burt said that we are in constant expec
tation that the treaty will be. ratified ; and unless
this bill be passed either General Scott or Gen
eral Taylor must be dismissed This certainly
could not be the desire of the House.
Mr Botts contended that, unless the bill shall
rb"epaisedt the President would have no discre
tion but to dismiss either General Scott or Gen.
Taylor. One of the friends of the President
mentioned to him that it is his (tho President's)
desire that the proviso be repealed.
The -queetionrecurred on the engrossment of
the bill, when
Mr. Cobb moved that the House proceed to
the order of the day . This was determined in
the negative 2 to 98.
Then being objection to ordering the bill to

Oiher reports were made from Committees
and the House adjourned.

Introduction. On the 18th of May, 1834, Dr.
B rand reth, for the first ime, made known in the
United States the Celebrated Brandrtth Vegetable
Universal Pills. He left them to stand -or fall by
their own merits. He made no allusion to any oth
er medicine ; simple facta were stated; and -the fol
lowing principle laid down as the Brandrethian The
ory, viz : that all local diseases, whether of the stom
ach or bowels, enlargement of the joints, rheumatic
affect ions, cutaneous eruptions, dyspeptic complaints,
or whatever other forms such, local disease puts on,
were nothing more than so many symptoms of dis
ordered state of the constitution, and that his pills
which was discovered in England in 51, were a
medicine that had the effect of restoring the consti
tution to health and viger, simply by removing all
bad and acrimonious humors from the blood by the
stomach and bowels; .The American public have
now made trial of this medicine for nearly, ten years,
and have found that the medicine is fiOt' aU humbug.
The patronage Dr. Brandreth daily xperiences,
proves that the medicine gives moiyffsalsatisfac
