irit of the National ¢ North and South, as follow- ing preceedi plainly indicate. We Proore Te celebration - 3. ie! C i proce: s of three meetings in South Carolina, on the 4th inst., which bear very heavily a; t each other, though each professes to be of the genuine democratic school. The following resolutions were adopted in the Ohio meetmg :— “ Resolved, That we rejoice at the crumbling of thrones, and the downfall of tyrants in the old world, and we sympathize with those upon the continent of Europe, who are now struggling to throw off the yoke of tyranny and oppression; may heaven speed the time of their deliverance. “Resolved, That Zachary Taylor, the present nomi- nal exeoutive of this nation, has, by his vindictive pro- scription for opinion’s sake the four months of his administration, given the te to his tormer written declarations, * that he wouid in no case be the candi- date or president of any party or clique, or yield to party colamion” Therefore, civilized world and es- ecially the people of this republic are now forced to Believe that either those ptedges were made to deceive, swindle and humbug freemen out of their votes, or other- wise Zachary Taylor ‘has surrendered ? {his integrity 86 4 politician, and his principles as a patriot, and his ‘honor as a man, to a cabinet of the most bitter and vin- dictive partisans, * Resolved, That Thomas H. Benton, the fearless champion of the West, and patriot of the whole Union, asa man of known pens and great boldness, and a statesman of veracity and long experience, and by his liberal, fearless, manly, and even tenor, upon the great questions which have divided parties in this gountry, regarding alike the vights of the North and South, is thereby entitled to the ‘of every honorable and high-minded American citizen. Resolved, That we are opposed to Land Monopoly. and in favor of giving to actual settlers on the fag lands, a farm for # price sufficient only to pay for the survey and title papers. The following are some of the toasts agen at the meetings at tke Military Academy, Walter- boro’. Orangebury, and St. Bartholomew's, South Carolina :— J.C, Calhoun—May his name be for ever fostered in the bosom of every true Southerner. South Carolima—Distinguished alike for the intellect and patriotism of her citizens, may she ever hold her ition, “the brightest star in our glorious censtel- tion,”? General Z. Taylor—His eonduct in Mexico, and his conduct since being elected President, has evinced a determination on his part, that whether in a military or civil eapacity, his course shall be marked by blood. Thomas H. Benton—“ Cwsar bad his Brutus; Charles the 1st his Cromwell ; we have a Benton ; let us nest betwe: profit a their exam, The Southei wrongs and gr ; he who would Tefure ‘his support thereto, 1s not a ‘true son of the yuth. California and New Mexico—Won by Southern valor and Southern blood, and paid for by Southern trea- sure; South Carolina, at least, will not submit to a de- predation of her equal rights to raid territory. Our Southern Statesmen—May they be wise. vigilant, and immovable in resist very encroachment of the North; and when trampled on, be prepared, like the rattlesnake, to give a fatal blo Abolitionism—Hatehed of envy, and fed on political carrion, it has grown a devouring vulture, that seeks to prey on the life blood of the South. ‘The Wilmot Proviso and its Kindred Measures--Let the South imitate the example of the Southern Metho- dists— dissolve the oo- partners . The North and South—Let us Rope that the existing diffieulty between the North and South may be dis. pelled by our statesmen; but if our worst fears are realized, Southern rights must be protected. Disunion? Mr. Catnoun’s Reriy to Co.onet Bentox.— The Pendleton Messenger of Friday says: * We are prevented, by circumstances beyond our con- trol, from publishing this address this week. It | appear in our next. We regard this document asa triumphant vindication of himself from the charges made against hin by Colonel Benton, and asa complete exposure of the base motives which actuated Colonel Benton, in. first, deserting and then maligning his own section of the Unioa.— Charleston (S.C.) Mercury, July 10. Coronet Benron.—This Senator addressed the people of Howard county at Glasgow, last Thurs- eer He spoke upwards of three hours, as we arn, and made a powerful analysis of the Jack- son resolutions. He was repeatedly and enthusias- tieally cheered. Many of his old friends, who had been of late somewhat estranged by the cry of abolitioniem, came out warmly for him. The re- solutions, it is now said, do not owe their pater- nity to Mr. Jackson, but to Judges Napton and Morrow, It is probable that a Kaowledye of this fact elicited from the Senator the malediction in his speech at Jefiereon city, ‘* wo to you judges.” Mr. Benton left Glasgow on the same evening, for Brunswick. He is to speak at Brunswick end Keytesville.—St. Lowis (Mb.)

The bulls were in the ascendency to-day, and there was more activity in the market. Under existing cir- cumstances, the improvement of yesterday and to-day | is most extraordinary, and it will probably be but tem- porary, There were large sales of the principal fancies. At the first board, to-day, Treasury Notes went up percent; United States 6's, 1868, 1; Erie Bonds, 1859, 3g; Canton Company, 44; Erie Railroad, 4; Stoning- ton, }¢; Harlem, {. Morris Canal fell off 4. At the second board there was a slight reaction, and Erie Railroad and Long Island declined +; per cent cach. The market closed with a downward tendency. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $76,098 86. Payments, $28,732 15; advices, $19,000; balance, $1,144,650 67. ‘The European news had a favorable in‘lxence upon government stocks, and the advance here, fo-day, is attributed te the improvement quoted in London. Otherwise the advices have had no effect either way. The Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad Company have declared @ semi-annual dividend of three and a half per cent, payable on the 18th inst. The Delaware and Raritan Canal and Camden and Amboy Railroad Company have declared a semi-annual dividend of six per cent, payable on the 17th inst. ‘The Greenwich Savings’ Bank has declared the usual semi-annual dividend, payable the 16th inst. ‘The Augueta (Geo) Manufaeturing Company have declared # dividend of $3 per share for the last three months, being at the rate of 12 per cext per annum. ‘The Union Bank of ‘Tennessee has declared a semi- annual dividend of $2 per share, payable on demand, The amount received for tolls on all the New York State Canals during the Ist week in July was. $84 763 32 Same period in 1843. . 68,183 33 Increase in 1849 wasn $18,508 99 The aggregate amount received for tolis from the commencement of navigation to the 7th of July, inelu- si + $1,099,178 61 1,072,186 59 Increase in 1849........ $27,002 02 The amount of tolls received on all the New York State canals in cach of the following years, duriag the first week im July, and the totals up to the 7th of July, inclusive, was as annexed :— New Yorx State Canats—Amount or Tors.

The receipts for June, last year, ex- ceeded those for May. For the purpose of showing the traffic operations of this company, for the three years | previous to this, we have compiled, from the reports | made to the legisiature, an official statement of the re- ceipts and expenditure: New York avo Baie Bguneap, Ne Expenses. Earnings, Perct.erp's. | 2 ‘4 (28 ‘por cent. Receipts. 8165816 or | 2 204119 os swins ee 48, were 2,642 | It appears by this, that there has been an increase im each of the past three years, and it is altogether likely that the running expenses per mile will, this yeary 1849, exceed that for either of the previous years, Ac- | cording to the above returns of receipts, for the first six months of several years past, the earnings of the last six months in 1546, " ‘48, have been « little larger, and the same rate of reeeipts for the last six months of 1849, will give an income of $374,998, which, added to the receipts already reported for the first six months, gives an aggregate for the year of $696,426. Now, we are prepared to show, upon the data of pre- vious returns, that nearly or quite the whole of the neome will be used up in the payment of runoing er- | penses and repairs, leaving the interest on the debt | which it will apply more forcibly than the brie | track is laid, and that is about all, | Ay mentioned, about $2,642 per mile nd stock of the company to be paid out of or by an increase of the capital. it appears that the expenses in the first three years ranged from 63 to 68 per cent, on a short road, where the earnings per mile were to fair amount; but that proportion will not hold good on along road, where the earnings per mile are eo much reduced. To make a calculation upon such @ basis, the receipts per mile should be the same, We, therefore, base our esti- mates upon the expenses per mile in 1548. The Erie Railroad js now 240 miles long. and the same facilities for travel and tranrportation of freight have to be kept wp, as though the traffie was double what it wil be. 1848, the ramming expenses and repairs per mile amounted to $2,642, and at the same rate this year, the aggregate expenditures, under these heads, woul jount to $635,080. It is our impression that be expenses and repairs per mile, this year, will ex- ered those for 1848, as it is well known to those ac- quainted with the system of manasgem from one end of the line to the other, and the waste and extravagance ble in every department, that the expenses will be greater in proportion to the length of the road than in any previous year. The high grades require tremendous motive power, and the wear and tear of machinery is immense. The absence of proper and sufficient turn-outs causes a great many collisions jestruetion of locomotives, and the condition of the track is such that the cost of repairs must be large. Railroads in the United States never appear to be completed. One of our beet engi- neers, when ed how much of sucha line was finished, | replied not a mile; and, in explanation, said that so many miles had been constructed, but none @nished ‘There is more truth in this temark thaa appears at first, and there is not a railroad ia the country, to The Not a mite is rained, and we frequently hear of rods of the rails being ripped up, by rome derangement in the manage- | ment. and not one-half the accidents that happem are | ever heard of The gross earnings of the Erie R 1. rond, per mile, in 1846, were $2,902; 1847, $4009; 1848, $4.201; and, 60 far as we ean judge, from the re. coipte thus far this year, for 1840, they will be about $2.900 per mile; and the expenses, as we have previous. This is the result ipated by sotoe of our best railroad engineers’ ant aud we believe it will be reatized, In the event of the reevipts this year not exceeding $700.00, there will be & deficiency of full one million of dotiaes in meeting the cursent expenditures of the company. The inte | rest on nearly fifteen million of dellars has to be paid this year. It is true, the interest on three millions has | been provided for for the next eighteen months, but if the company does not earn anything more than its expenses, all the payments for interest are added to the eapital, and swell the cost of the road. eight hundred thousand and one million of dollars are added annually to the cost of this road, independent of the enormous cost from the folly and ignorance of the management, exhibited in their contracts, and in every item of expenditure, before the road is completed to expensive affair. Lake Erie, it will be If between rather an It must be borne in mind | that the interest another year on the deficiency this, will amount to between $60,000 and $70,000, to pay which will require an income of $209,000, the concern must soon explode, Nothing can long stand such an enormous drain. money is coming from to pay for all this, is more than the board of directors or any one else can tell; and when the sources of supply of capital dry up, there must be a collapse. At this rate, in the world Where the Itis « most extraordinary position sor any company to be in, and if the board of directors were as much interested in the progress of the work, and in its financial condition, as is generally supposed, they must be overwhelmed with the difficulties and em- barrassments with which they are surrounded. The time is near at band when we shall receive a proper meed of credit for the course we have steadily and firmly pursued in relation to this and all other compa- nies similarly situated. The Erie Railroad Company is rotten to the very core, and an exposé will soon con- firm our predictions. In connection with this matter, we annex an extract from the London Standard of Freedom, of the 2d of June, as it will apply particularly to the railroad move- ments in this country ,— Movers Bunntes axp rarein Causes. The same causes were, of course, still at work. Ac- cumulation upon accumulation of interest still went on. It became nearly impossible to find, as before, em- ployment for “ surplus capital” —as these chains fom the toil of an ev taxed people are styled—when a new source of speculation and investment was invent- d, which in extent bas rivalled, indeed exceeded, tl astounding operations between 1823 and 1826.

Madison, the relict of James Madison, once the President of the United States. This greatly venerated, beloved, and celebrated lady, whose loss will be telt and regretted by the whels country, has lingered since Si a , and breathed her last, at a quarter-past 10 o’glock, last night. ‘We anticipate the grief which will be universally felt ather loss; but we must reserve ttll to-morrow the sacred office of paying a necer tribute to her merits.— Washmgton Union, July 13. Our Washington Correspondence, Wasuineton, July 12, 184%. The Republican Party. We have observed in some quarters a disposition pon the part of certain persons to disparage, in Nery way, the claims of all supporters of the pre- sent administration who do not happen to belong to the old whig school of politics. It seems to have been forgotten by these gentlemen that the last Presidential election was avowedly carried by an abandonment of the old party issues and views. ‘The leading men of the whig party had discovered that in the progress of events the questions before the country had materially changed ; that the day had gone by when a protective tariff or a national benk was of importance—nay, was at all neces- sary. They found that an adherence to these viewa was not only not beneficial, but a positive injury; that this was a government of movement, and that whilst our limits were increasing by natural means, science had also not been idle in the rapid progression. They found that the whig party, by us adherence to men and measures, unheedful of the changes which were daily taking place around them, was getting behind public opinion; and they discovered that, to be even consistent, so to speak, they must also progress—throw aside old issues, which time and cireamstance had render- ed obsolete, and—untrammelled by them, act upon the matters betore the country, as if such issues had never existed. The leaders of the party—or rather the great mass of the party, saw all this—felt its truth, and at once boldly avowed it. General Taylor was taken up—and taken up after an avowal that, although a whig, he was not an ultra whig; that he considered extreme party as the bane of this country, and that if elected he would not be the advocate of either one ultra party or the other. In other words, whilst he would carefully avoid running Into the excesses of the democratic party, he would also as carefully avoid the opposite ex- treme of the ultra whigs. He was ‘conservative, yet progressive.” He was a republican—a man unmixed in the issues, and unbiassed by the pre- Judices, of the oldwhig party. He was taken up by the party, not because he was a better whig than Henry Clay, but because he was unfettered by former pledges, and could form the great party of conservative progression, of republicanism, which public opinion demanded. All parties were freely invited to his support—all parties united in his support—and the result was that he was elected. What claim then can the old hunkers of the whig party Put in to call this their victory? It was as much a triumph over them as it was over the democrats. It was in fact a palpable and unmis- takable evidence that the country, tired of ex- treme party, had united upon a moderate republi- can policy ; that the stand still policy which was deemed prodent in earlier years was considered as much behind the age as the mad schemes and demagoguism of the democrats was in advance of this, orany other age. Our true policy lay be- tween these two extremes, and moderate men of all parties united in establishing a government vein ale sohoer out aoe A ake F e eve that it is only di inted office- seekers who try to kick up a dist took this sub- ject, and endeavor, now that the victory is won, to exclude all but themselves from a participation in the benefits which will result from it. Such men had better leave the party at once. They are not only politically dishonest, but they are also fools, who cannot see beyond the end of their noses. Aber > are not struck by the truth of the assertion, that the old party issues have all passed away—i they still look forward, in the hope that a high pro- tective tariff and a national bank will yet be things of life—they had better at once go out from the re- publican to which they profess to belong, and confess that, Rip Van Winkle like, they have been asleep for the last twenty years. rollin of ily celefarl8A"ae"Piflds, sent to the a few words, given the views of the party now in wer, better than whole volumes could express it. in one short sentence, he has laid down a “ plat- form” covering the whole ground :— “The spirit of the whigs.and true republicanism, Progressive, yet conservative; not aggressive, nor yet ret: ive.” This is the true spirit. Progressive, but with deliberation; neither madly rushing into every scheme, solely because of its novelty, nor rejecting every movement because it 1s out of the old beaten path; neither red republicans on the one hand, or monarchists on the other; neither behind public sentiment, nor too far in advance of it. Such is the platform laid down by the Secretary of State, and, whilst it centinues to be the guide of his ac- ns, and of the administration, we need have lit- tle fear but whet the United States will continue to fulfil its bright destiny—that of the model republic of the world.
