The subjoined excellent declaration of principles on the subject of intervention has been adopted by the House of Representa tives of Georgia, and we believe will be found to expre6s the sound opinion of a great majority of the Southern people. The finest oratory imaginable will be of little avail against the clear conception of the in terests and duty of the country which is manifest in these resolutions, and others of a kindred character previously adopted by other Southern States: 'It has been the poJicy of the American Government from its earliest existence to maintain friendly relations with all, but en-- tangling alliances with none. Our (rue mis sion is not to propagate our opinions, or impose opon oilier countries our form of government, by artifice or force; but to show by our success, moderation, and justice, the blessings of self-goverHent and the advan tages of free institutions. Let every people choose for themselves and make and alter their political institutions to suit their own condition and circumstances. In proclaim ing and adhering to the doctrines of neu trality and non-intervention, the ; United States hare not followed the lead of other civilized nations; but have taken the lead and been fcftowed by others. These' great principles, proclaimed i the days of Wash ington and Jefferson, are the great Ameri can principles upon which our Government has ever stood. The fame and distinctton to which we hate attained as a people, the great blessings which we have dispensed to the World, in affording a asylum for the oppressed everywhere, forbid that we should, lor a motwefrt, cherish tffe fdea of abandon ing these principles. We sympathize with the oppressed we tender them a home' ; bat never" will we join with the ambitious or the revewgeful is a crusade against other nations, whatever may be their domestic policy. , A departure from this safe and cor rect rule Wotrld" involve out Government in endless disputes and endless wars the re sult of wbkf the wisest statesmanship can not foreseev Oar policy should be to ob eetve good faith and justice towards all na ikrns, cultivate peace' aird harmony with all; against the in'sidrou's'wile's of foreign influ efiee the jealousy of a free" people ought to be constantly awake; sifc history and ex fuerience prove that foreign influence is one fthe most baneful foes1 of repisblican gov ernments. "In extending our comm'erciaf fetation's, we sbotfln have as little political connexion bs possible with foreign nations.

"Resolve That his Excellency the Gov ervor, be -feqerested to forward the foregoing Jeclu ratio of principles to our Seuators and Representatives in Congress of the United States with the request that they may be laid before their respective houses 4 the opinions of the people of Georgia, as tle policy of our Govern men; and that a copy be sent also to the President of the Uoked States . The IIatteK's Sign. A journeyman hotter, a companion of Di. Franklin, on commencing business for himself, was anx ious to get a handsosie sign-board, with a proper iescription. This be composed him self, as follows: "John Thompson, hatter, MACH AJTD SfELLS II ATS FOR READS' MONEY' - -with lie figure of a hat subjoined. But he thought he Would submit it to his friends for their araejadmcMs The first he showed it to, thought the word hatter tau-tolog.otrs, because followed !by the words ''makes hats' which showed he was a hatter. It was struck out. The aaext observed, that fhe word 'makes' might as well be omitted, be cause his customer would ot care who made the hats; if good, aud to their mind, they would buy, by w 1 osa soever made He .struck that out also. A third said, he ibo't ;the words 'for ready money'' were useless ;as it was not the custom f the place to sell ,on credit, every one who purchased expeo jtedo'pay. These, too, were parted with., -and the inscription then stood 'John Thomp son sells hats.' 'Sells hats !' says his nexst friend; 'why,, who expects you to give them ;away? What, then, is the use of the word?' jjt was-struck out, and hats was all that remained attached to the name of John "Thompson, " Even this inscription, brief as jt Vas, was reduced ultimately to " John Thompson with ;the .figure of a hat sub joined, - : ' ' ' Gen.

THE PRESIDENCY. observe that our Democratic friends speak with habitual confidence of effecting a change in the Administration at the next election. - If we remember rightly, Col. Bissell has expressed himself strongly on this point in the House, and Gen. Cass has spoken of the Democratic triumph as a mat ter of ascertained certainty. It is well e nough, perhaps, that these givings out should be noticed ; and that the people should understand that the confidence of the opposition rests upon no acquiescence or admissiou of the Whigs in WTashington. We are well persuaded that the result of the next Presidential election will depend on the nominations made by the two par ties. The Democrats have fixed the time for holding their National Convention. The Whigs, we presume, will select a lat er day, and govern themselves in a meas ure by die action of the opposition. It seems to us that the Democrats will find a difficulty in selecting a candidate whom the Wrings will find great difficulty in de feating. The confidence of the opposition arises from the union of the Abolition and Dem ocratic parties in the Northern States. The result in Massachusetts has taught them, as they think, the way to succeed on the national stage. By clubbing their strength they expect to. carry Ohio, New York, Illinois, Indiana, aud some of the New England States ; and they regard Virginia as too safe, for the Democracy to be endangered by a ffy alliance with alioli tion. The movements of the Barnburn ers, and the facility with which the main body of the Democratic party has fallen into the schemes" of Blair, Preston, King, and the Van Burens ; the extraordi nary manner in which these men came, saW,tincI conquered at the Congressional caucuscompelling Major Polk to disa vow before the House the measure which he had himself introduced into that caucus, and which his friends had pie-announced with formalities in the newspapers all these things indicate the grounds of the confidence in which Colonel Bissell and General Cass indulge when they speak of the approaching Presidential electioH. In our political experience, we have never seen or heard of an operation more successful than that of the Abolitionists at the preliminary caucus. If it had been a part of the functions of this body to elect a President, we should have had an Abo litionist in the Presidency as easily as we have Linn Boyd in die Speaker's chair. Whether it was that the Abolitionists start led the caucus by their audacity and car ried' the body by surprise, or Avhether their strength was so overwhelming as to defy opposition, we cannot undertake to say. Certain it is, however, that men who have been in disgrace in their own party for the last tcW years men 'who have -been sup posed politically defunct since 18i0 a cabal of ''galvanized corpses," as Mr. Clay once described some of them marched in to the caucus and dictated their own terms, not even permitting tfie Compfomise men to march out with the honors of War. This feat was accomplished by Preston King, Cleveland ,-Kantoul, Molony, Camp bell, Blair, and the Ferry correspondent of the New York Evening Post, who was th-r nraster-spifit of the concern,- and the immediate representative of the Cutlers, Dixes and Van Burens. These worthy men imagine tlt tffey can vrotk with the American' people after the' same fashion in which they control a caucus of politicians. They suppose that the masses will sympathize in their shame less combinations, and aid in the restora tion of the" Van Burens and Bentons in the persort of General Butler. Tin? scheme failing, and the ground of ffieir hope and cotrfidertce erumbJw beneath them. Di vest the party of the support of Sumner, Giddings, Hide, and thef Van Burens, and their confidence has nothing to repose upon. General Butler out of the question -the coalition breaking down and what is lefl ? General Cass and Mr. Buchanan? Judge Douglas aud General Wool Commodore Stockton and the two Walk ers run through the whole list ; and where will you find a man who can stand against the united and harmonious move ment of the Whig party ? The policy of the friends of the Adminis tration is obvious. Stand firm co-operatearrange differences harmonize con flicting sentiments organize understand each other sacrifice personal interests and animosities to the eause and unite on the Whig candidate most acceptable to the peo ple. If the' Administration party will act together in this spirit, the opposition' will discover that the people are well content widi peace,- good neighborhood, observ ance of their 011 laWs and non-interference with line' affairs of other nations. Republic. Washington, Jan. 18 P. M. -It seeuas, after all, dtat Chevalier Hulseman, the Charge d Affaire of Austria; whohas been so terribly frightened at the fact that Mr. Webster attended the Congressional banquet to Kossuth, will not be compelled to leave his comfortable quarters1 rff this city. I learn from reliable authority that the difficulty with Mm has been amicably settled., and dial he has consented to dine with the President to-morrow. It is not known, whether the unfortunate Charge has apologized1 for his impertisent letter to die President, but the supposition is that he did. GEN. CASS AND KOSSUTH. In an editorial article orr the reception of Kossuth at Washington, the Detroit Free Press Gen. Cass's organ Iras the follow ing remarks: "It will bo seen that Kossuth and Genl. Cass met immediately after the former had arrived at his quarters. All are permitted to surmise the character and interest of the meeting of diese distinguished men. Over a year ago Gen. Cass received a letter from Kossuth; & there people ill-natured enough to pronounce it a deception, a hoax, and to say that the great Hungarian never wrote it. The Whig press made many a pata graph over it; but Kossuth wrote the letter; and diose who know his character know full well how he has prized the character and the principles of Gen'i. Cass. Those who have spoken as these two men have spoken within the last month cannot be far apart in feeling." Gen. Cass happens to have spoken twice or thrice within the last month, and it is; conceived that essential discrepancies exist in die views expressed on these different occasions. At one time, in the Senate,he declared, in substance, that none but a mad man would think of committing this coun try to an aimed intervention ; at another time, addressing a miscellaneous audience, he committed himself to intervention, and reserved to himself the right of determin ing whether it should be armed oi not. If the Free Press speak by the book, the pub lic have no alternative but to conclude that Gen. Cass abides by the all but war-like committal of his last address, and that he has therefore materially changed his views since he spoke in the Senate Chamber. Has the higher bid of Mr. Douglas had any connexion with the change?-Re-pub. CONGRESSIONAL. In the Sknate, Monday 19th, Mr. Clarke, pursuant to notice, introduced the following Joint Resolutions ; which were ordered to a second reading : Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, Fhat Congress recognises and reaffirms these manifest truths : "That governments are instituted among men to secure the inalien able rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government be comes destructive of these ends, it is the right of die people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new government, laying its foundation upon such principles, and or ganizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their rights and happiness.'' Resolved, That, while we claim for our selves diese comprehensive rights of self- government, and also as a consequence or sovereignty the right to be exempt from the coercion, control or interference oroth ers in the management of our internal af fairs, we concede to others the same meas ure of right, the same unqualified inde pendence. ; . RjesolvCdi That it is upon the eaereu principle of independent sovereignty that we recognise, in or intercourse with other nations, fforerhments dc facto, without in quiring by what means they hav6 been es tablished, or in tvhat mariner they exercise their powers. Resolved, That this Government has soietHrrly adopted, arid will perse veringly adhere to, as a principle of international action, the advice given by Washington in his Farewell Address : "Observe good faith arid justice towards all nations, cultivate peace and harmony with all, give to man kind the magnanimous and too novel an example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence." Sym pathy for a favorite nation betrays itself in to a participation Hi the quarrels ana wars of rtno:tier,withoutadequafe inducemei t t justification. "Against die insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy ma iree people ought to be constantly awake, for foreign influence is the most oanemi roe oi republican governments." The true rule f conduct' for us in regard to foreign na tions is in extending our commercial rela tions to have with them as litUe political connexion as possible. Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why by interweaving our destiny widi that of any part of Europe; entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambi tion, rivalship, interest, humor, or cap rice ? Resolved, That while we citcritfa the liveliest sympathy towards all who strive for freedom of opinion or for free insutu tions, yet we recognise our true policy in the great fundamental principles given to us by Jefferson : "Equal and exact jus tice to all men, of whatever state or persua sion; religious or political peace, com merce, and honest friendship with all na tions, entangling alliances with none." Resolved, That although we adhere to these essential principles of non-intervention as forming the true and lasting" foun dation of our prosperity and happiness; yet whenever a prudent foresight shall warn us mm, our own n Denies or insula tions' are threatened-; then a just regard to our own safety will require us to advance to the conflict rather than await the ap proach of the foes of constitutional free douv and; of human liberty.- The Boston Post apologizes for having assigned to the infant princess of Spain only 25 names, wten in fact she recrived i.'G.

This person had observed in joke that he would make his son "heir to the Crown." The words reached the jealous ears of royalty ;' the foolish equivoque was construed into the crime of high treason, and the man was hanged opposite to his own door. Taking a liberty.- The most singu lar instance of British pride is related of a man known m his day as the 'proud 1 Jiib of Somerset.' This pillar of the 'Corinthi an capital of polished society' married a second wife. One day, with an affection ate ease,she suddenly threw her arm around his neck and fondly sal uted him . 'Madam ' said the unmanly peer, 'my first wife was a Percy, and she would not have taken such a liberty.' A Picture op Life. When I look to my early and middle life, says Goethe, and reflect how few are left of those who were young with me, I always think of a sum mer's stay at a watering place. When-ou arrive, you make acquaintances and friends of those who have been there for some time, and who leave in a week or two. The loss is painful. Then you attach yourself to the second generation ; with whom you live for a good while, and establish a close intimacy. But they go away also, a:nd leave us alone with the third, which arrives just as we are going away, and with whom we have, besides, nothing to do. Jj'ooKixa AFiti-R Business. Two Span ish officers recently met to fight a duel out side the gate of Bilboa, after the seconds had failed to reconcile the belligerents. At. this moment , a poor fellow approached the seconds, and in a lamentable voice said, -"Gentlemen, I rtm a poor artisan ''with a large family, and if you would " 'My good man, "don't trouble us now,' cried one of theofficers; 'don't you see my friends are going to spit each other ? We are not in a charitable humor.' - 'It is not alms I ask for,' said the man; 'I am a poor car penter with eight children, and my wife is sick; and having heard that those geude-" men were about to kill each other, I tho't of asking you to let me make the coffins.' At these words, the individuals about to commence the combat burst into a loud fit of laughter, and simultaneously throwing down their swords, shook hands with each other, and walked away : The man that rides the night-mare, it is said, has challenged the telegraph to trot fifty miles before a wagon. "What is the best attitude for self-defence?" said a pupil (putting on the gloves) to a well-known pugilist. "Keep a civil tonsjue in your Lead," was the significant repiy. An old lady of Thread needle slrcct be ing at a loss for a pincushion, made one of an onion. On the following morning she found that all the needles had tears in their eyes'.. A cheerful fare is nearly as jrood for an invalid as healthy weather. To make a sick man think he's dying, all that is ne cessary is to look half dead yourself.' Lorenzo Dow once said of a grasping, avaricious farmer, that if he had the whole world enclosed in a single field, he would not be contcal Avithout a patch of ground on the outside for potatoes. "Mr. Smith," said a Jitiie fellow the other evening to his sister's beau, "I wish you wouldn't praise our Ann Maria's eyes any more You've made her so proud now that she won't speak to cousin Laum, nor help mother the least bit." At Gibraltar there was a great scarcity of water. An Irish officer said, "he was very easy about the matter, for he had nothing to do with water; if he only got his tea in the morning, and punch at night, it was all that he wanted. " A m'Srf asked a celebrated balloonist what he would do if in want of refresh ments in his aerial voyage, as there w.as no hotels. He instantly replied he would have no occasion for "them ; he would stop at some of the "castles in the air." Sir Walter Scott, in lending a book one day to his friend cautioned him to be punc tiraf m returning it. "This is really ne cessary," said the poet, in apology, " for if many of my friends are bad arithmeti cians, 1 have found almost au oi uienr rrnnd hnnh hppners.'y A cornet in a "crackr regiment of the line was asked by the military examiner whether the sun moved round the' earth, or the earth round the sun. The youngstef was astonished at die question, and after hesitating for eorcfe' time, said at last, by Visj of a compromise, "Sometimes the one and sometimes die other." Latour Maubouig lost bis leg at the bat tle of Leipsic. After he had suffered am putation with the greatest courage, lie saw bis servant crying, or pretending to .cry, in one corner of die room, "Jack," said he, "none of your hypocritical tears, you idle dog; you know you are very glad.,, for you will have only one boot to clean." Buffalo, Jan. 15. The storm ceased here last night.- The mails due on Tues rW nMMTjma' .arrived at 4 P,M.: on Wednes- ftnv. The. train was twenty-two hours from Batavia to this place, (forty-three mila with six emrines. It is acrain snowing last, but the weather is mild. THE PRESENT CABINET. The Whig friends as Well as the Dem ocratic opponents of the Administration may be assured that upon every other point of foreign policy, the President and liis advisers will be found following die great examples of Washington, of Jefferson, and of all the revolutionary race of Chief Mag istrates. They wtll ask nothing but what Is ricmV and submit to nothinsr that is P.vroncr. They will not bluster and bully con 54,40, arid then fall back quietly on P9 ; but they will take at the outset posi tions that can be maintained m the light of common sense, public law and nation al honor ; and then they will be justified n adhering to them "at all hazards and to fte last extremity.- : GOVERNOR WOOL AND THE COMPROMISE. The Governor of Ohio, in his inaugural address, declares in favor of maintaining die Compromise undisturbed, not because lie approves of it, but in order that the sla-H very agitation may be forever closed. At the same time, he opposes any extension of the area of slavery, and regards the Colonization Society as "the laost effect ive organized agency to eradicate and fin ally wipe away die institution." The ground taken by Governor Wood in reference to the maintenance of the Fu gitive slave law has incensed many of the Democratic leaders of Ohio, who aver that his election was attributable mainly to h is recorded hostility to that measure. In the State Senate, on the ,13th, several of his supporters contrasted his present language with that used by him a year ago, and op posed the circulation of the address in con sequence of the change it exhibits. W e note the fact, not with the view of exulting over this addition to the family quarrels of the Democracy, but to prove that the ground taken by Whig journals at the time of Governor W'ood's election was fully warranted by his own avowals. With his consistency we have nothing to do. It is enough for us that, having gained the hon ors of high office, he is disposed to respect its responsibilities, irrespective of the pred ilections of friends ancf allies. Republic. Signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence. Of the fifty six signers of, the Declaration of Independence, 1 was born in New Hampshire, 1 in Maine, 8 in Mas sachusetts, 2 iu Rhode Island, 4 in Connec ticut, 3 in New York, 4 in New Jersey, 4 in Pennsylvania, 8 in Delaware, 5 in Mary land, 9 in Virginia, and 4 in South Caroli na. The remainiwg 8 were foreigners, and were born as follows : 3 in Ireland, 2 in Scotland, 2 in England, and 1 in Wales. The oldest person at the time of signing was Benjamin Franklin, wlio was 70 years of age; and the youngest was Edward Rut ledge, from South Carolina, who was 26" years old The average age of 53 of the signers on the Fourth of July,'- 1776, was about 46 years and six months; and the av erage age of 53 at the period of their decease was over 68 years. (jr A diary, written in 1773, just brought to light by the Glasgow Gazette, contains the following: "August 22.

Has Mr. Fillmore the power to release these Irish prisoners? Or has he any business to interfere with the administration of justice in Great Britain ? Not at all ! But then there are thousands of Irish voters in Baltimore. Observer. An Ancient Policy. A friend has shown us a policy of insurance,' made in January, 1773, on a brigantine from Scar borough to anvorall the West India Islands and back to Newburyport. It commences in the ancient style, viz : "In the name of God, amen," and die following are the ad ventures and perils which the assurers are contented to bear, viz : The seas, men of War, fire, enemies, pirates, rows, thieves,- jettisons, letters ot mart ana counter uui, surpnsals, takings at sea, nrresis, iesuauii and detainments of all kings, princes and people, of what nation, condition or quality soever, barrlty of masters and marines. The insurers also egree that the policy shall be of as much force and effect as the surest writing of policy of assurance here tofore made in Lombard street, or in the lloval Exca'nge, or elsewhere in London. ' There being no incoiTwrated offices j as at present, the sum taken, viz: 250 law fid money, was taken by the following parties in Boston: Win, Mackay, 100 ; Peter Bryer,, 100; and Caleb Hopkins, 50. The premium was 6 per cent. The policy was made at Nathaniel Bar ber's insurance office, kept near the draw bridge, Boston."' Portland Advertiser. Lord Bvros's OnmoN or Himself. A tetter fro m Lord Bvron to Count D'Orsay has recently Iwon for th ' first time published. In it the pnet " A for me. I am of no country, and as to my 'work?,' which you are pleased to mention, b't them co to the devil, from whom, in the opinion of a rct many people, liny ca.ine. The N. Y. "Tribune" declares on! the authority of "recent accounts from England" that, "The Illinois Railroad loan has failed, and that the agents, Messrs. Walker & Neal, are about to return home, abandon ing the attempt at its negotiation. That such should have been the result of their efforts has, we must confess, somewhat sur prised us, considering the large bids made for Eriiish aid by the ex-Secretary, when he told his Manchester hearers that he "knew" it to be "the unanimous senti ment" of his countrymen, that were En gland attacked, "the entire American pop ulation, backed by their Government, would come as one man" to fight the bat tle with her, if nocessary. These were large Words, certainly, and well calculated to secure the aid of Manchester aud Bir miugham for the sale of his bonds; but the speaker could scarcely have failed to know that Falstaff's "men in Buckram" were not more shadowy beings than is that 'En tire American population" whose aid he promised, the great mass of the American' people beiug composed of men who have little cause to think of England but as the oppressor of their ancestors or themselves," Mr. Walker may thank his speeches in England for his want of success there. Politicians make the poorest sort of iiuan ciers. . ? Oregon. General Lane, '-Territorial Delegate to Congress from Oregon, thus writes in reference to the "settlement, soil -,' and climate of that Territory. He estim ates the population at twenty thousand j. and says the immigration is rapidly increa sing, owing not only to the natural ad van tages' ;of the country, but to the liberal pro visions made for actual settlers by a late law of Congress.. The population is of a substantial character, much better than is generally found in new countries. Those who contemplate emigrating to Or egon should be ready to leave St. Joseph, on the Missouri river, with a proper outfU, by the first day of May. Ox teams are mtich to be preferred. '- Provisions for the trip, and sufficient blankets for bedding, widi such tools only as are necessary to repair a wagon, should be taken. Dry goods, groceries, furniture, and farming utensils, of all kinds are abundant, in Ore gon, aud no one should think of taking such tilings widi them. It must not, howeyei , be supposed that no inconveniences are to be experienced by emigrants after they ar rive there, : v NovEi Ivailroau Briuge, The Phii adelphia,e''cr of Friday morning says : " It was stated in the Sun of j esferday that a road had been made over the ice in the Susquehanna, at Ilavre-ile-Grace, for the conveyance of the baggage, mails. tV.c, and the passengers to and from Philadel phia and Baltimore. We learn since that the Railroad Company have successfully accomplished the novel undertaking of lay ing a railroad track upon the ice, and that the cars pass directly across the river with out any detention. This is the first raiU road construct ion upon such a foundation that has probably ever been made, and the enterprise it exhibits on the part of the com pany, for the accommodation of the pub lic, is an additional reason which may he presented that should secure for it the fa vor of a giant frcm the Legislature of Ma r-I;n- u-hirl wonLl Biirpr;eil the lVeces- sky of overcoming difficulties of this kind which the seasons interpose. 1 he surface of the ice over the river was very uneven, in many places, and required grading, which was accomplished by ..filling in with snow, which formed soon into a compact, level surface, on which the iron rails were placed. The road will require some watch ing to prevent the loss of the rails by any sudden breaking up of the on the river by a freshet. " Witchcraft of Womex. I want to tell you a secret.
