This is becoming the favorite doctrine of the South, and some of their first Journals now advocate it as the surest way of pro- tecting and preserving Southern interest; and a writer jn tho Charleston Mercury says: • 1. The Union is tho enemy of tho South, and the South may not expect protection from it 2. The South must \flier form an inde- pendent Republic, and take Iter own na- tional destiny tinder her own control. 3. The Republic &s xa independent pow- er, will then have it its own hands the power— 1. Of WAR. 2. Of PKAOE. 8. Of TUXTIES. •is And, therefore, of SELF-PHKSERVA- <nox:' On this «iio Editor of tho Mercury re- HnK \We W?ed scarcely say^th at wo sympa- thise <to tho utmost extent in this conclus- ion^ that we see no hope of tho preserva- 'tiett of tho honor, tho safety of the South >'n the Union, and wo desire its dissolution, if it were not only for the reason that it would give us pea?c. But it would also give us strength and wealth.\ What, we may ask, has led the writer to the above conclusion f Is it because the North has at any time sought to interfere with the institutions of the South in the States themselves. By no means; for such is not tho fact There has been to bo sure, a small party at the North, who have maintained the right of general government to interfere with slavery in the States; but this has not been advocated as a measure of expe- diency. And the great mass of tho anti- Slavery party distinctly disclaim all desire o do more than prevent tho extension of this peculiar institution. Though regard- ing it as unparalleled wrong, they are nev- ertheless content to leave it where tho gen- eral governmentfound it; knowing well enoughthat if left to feed upon itself, it will fall a prey to its own ravages. But tbe boast that a dissolution would give the South '• strength and wealth\ has too much the air of a headstrong boy, whoso inexperience has not put him in po- session of his utter dependence. Tho South has alwa. s been a burden to the free states: not however by reason of any lack of fertility of her soil, or unfavorable climate. For in this sho excclls the North; yet a contrast of the two shows her vastly inferior. But would a dissolution affoid AD additional advantage to slavery ? The South might then have the power \ of war of peace, of treaties\ but would it have the power of compelling surrounding nations to catch and return her runaway slaves ? It night be well for the South to seriously ask herself this question, before setting up alono. The President has transmitted to Con- gress a message on the Central American affairs, and on tbe recognition of Walker's government It briefly reviews the efforts that have been, heretofore, made by our government, to secure a commercial transit by Canal Railway, or otherwise across the Isthmus, and to the treaty formed between this and the go/ernment of Great Britain in relation to the Central American States. But the more especial object of tho mess- age, appears to be, to explain the reason why the Minister from Nicaragua was re- cognized, and tho filibuster government of Walker placed on a par with tho other powers. This ho comes at by assuming that it has ever been the policy of this government to recognize jwwers, where there is a government de facto ; and says that French (who it will be recollected pre- sented himself as Minister from Nicaragua, a few montht since,) \ would have beecn received as such, unless ho was found on inquiry, subject to personal exception, but for the absence of satisfactory infor- mation upon the question whether Pres- ident RIVAS, was in tact the head of an es- tablished government of the Republic of Nicaragua, doubt as to which arose, not only from the circumstances of his avowed association with armed emigrants recently from the United States, but that tho pro- posed Minister himself was of that class of persons, and not otherwise or previously a citizen of Nicaragua. Another Minister from the Republic of Nicaragua has now presented himself, and has been received as such, satisfactory evi- dence appearing that he represents the Government de facto, and, so far (is such exists, the Government de jure of that Re- public That reception, while in accor- dance with the established policy of the U- nited States, was likewise called for by most imperative special exigencies, which require that this Government shall enter at once into diplomatic relations of that if Nicaragua. In the first place a difference has occurred between the Government of President RIVAS and tho Nicaragua Tran- sit Company, which involves the necessity of inquiring into the rights of citizens of tho United States, who allege that they have been aggrieved by the acta of tho former and claim protection and redress at the hands of their Government. In the second place, the interoccanic communica- tion by the wav ofNicaragua is effectually intcrrupted,aod the persons and property of unoffending citizens of the United States in that country require the attention of their Government Neither of these objects can receive due consideration without resump- tion of diplomatic intercourse with tho Gov- ernment of Nicaragua. Further than this, the document show* that while the interoccanic transit by the way of Nicaragua is cut off, disturbances at Panama have occurred to obstruct tem- porarily at least that by the way of Now- Gradana, involving the sacrifices of lives and property of citizens of the United States. A special eommissior»r has l)cen dispatched to Panama to ir .• -stigate the facts of this occurrance,with * view particu- larly to the redress of parties aggrieved.— But measures of another class will be de- manded for the further security of the in- teroccanic communication by this as by oth- er routes of the Isthmus.\ Here we have the pretended reason for this act of the president. But the more palpable reason is that this filibustering ex- pedition of Walker is eminently popular at the South; and it is tho policy of Pierce to leave no stone unturned, that wiH be likely in any way to brighten his chance at tho Cincinuati Convention. Antral of the Ada. The steamship Asia arrived at New York on the fifteenth. The news is unim- portant, except the official report of the Peace Congress, which has come to hand; the substance of which we- give in another place. After the treaty was signed Cormt Wal- ewski invited the assembly Plenipotentia- ries to an interchange of sentiment and himself went over the ground, referring to the disturbed condition of Greece and It* aly and recommending that suggestions to rule more mildly should be conveyed to the Italian Governments. In this recommendation, the Plenipoten- tiaries heartilly concurred. Count Cavour on behalf of Sardinia de- manded that a secular government be estab- lished in the Roman Legations, and that tho Austrian troops bo withdrawn. This led to some sharp words botween the Austrian and Sardinian representatives but ended in nothing. ITALY. A letter from Rome, April 24th, says that the High Ecclesiastical circles are pan- ic struck at the Sardinian programme of Italian reform, and irritated with the strong languajro made use of respecting tho mal- administration of tho Pope's government. The sudden departure for Paris of Mon- seigneur Vorandi, Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, is attributed to the con- sternation of the Court at tho bare men- tion of a question of such vital importance, a< a limit to the Pope's temporaiy sovere gn- ty, and a desire to have a negotiation on the spot to assist the Nuncio in his remon- strances, and counteract the suggestion of the Plenipotentiaries. The proposal was made by England to capitalize the Sound Dues by extinguish- ing the capital by gradual payments will not bo nccepted by Denmark. The Kansas Commission. Commenced their labors on tho 24th ult at Lawrence. Considerable testimony has been taken; and by reporters and corres- pondents, given to tbe press. The commis- sioners at last accounts were still investiga- ting tho election frauds. The evidence so far as has been received, reveals a worse state of facts, than have before been made public. The most glaring frauds were prac- ticed by the Missonrians. In some districts where the census showed but 25 or 30 votes some 600 or 700 votes were polled. The frontier districts being tho easiest of access, suffered the most from the attacks of the border ruffians. At many of the polls the ruffians came over in rojrulnr organized bands, aud took possession of tho ballot box- es, voted and returned ro Missouri. These facts, though stated before, have now the authority of the commissioners. It was in this way that the first Legislature was electa ed. whose authority Pres. Pierce is now en- forcing. And for refusing to recognize it, the free settlers are subjected to every in- sult that a corrupt and imbecile Adminis- tration can heap upon them. But the facts will now be placed before the country; and in such a manner that they cannot be gain- t,ayed; and their publication under the sanction of thecommissioners will fix a qui- etus upon thocry of cxagciation raised by the millions of southern interest at the north. And so fearful, arc tho border ruffians, that tho facts will bo made known, that they al- ready are said to be preparing and have threatened to mob tho commissioners and destroy the testimony an I papers, that have been collected. This no doubt they will attempt whether successful or not. Every impediment will l>e thrown in the way of an official publication of the facts, that can be devised. In all this the border ruffians, have the countenance of the federal author itics. The CONTINENTAL VOCALISTS sing at HtvcKLKT HALL to morow evening. They come highly recommended; and have re- ceived very nattering notices from the press. The Buffalo Republic in its notice of their performance in that city, says: \ This band of vocalists met an enthusi- astic reception last night, at Kremlin Hall, which contained a large audience assembled to hear the Continentals. They are deci- dedly the best quartette band that ever ap- peared in Buffalo, without any exception; and this was t he general opinion at the concert last night We do not believe the audience were prepared for as agreeable an entertainment; comprehending the pathetic, the patriot- ic ana the most laughable, comic pieces and all—every one—suug charmingly and to general applause. Among all the pic- oes that were sung, not one failed to de- light These gentlemen are accomplish- ed vocalists, and deserve the entire patron- age and confident: of the music loving pub- lic everywhere. To all those who wish to pass an evening of real solid, substantial enjoyment we say go and hear these agreabte vocaists. * m • —— The Pres. has vetoed, the bill, making appropriations for the improvement of the Mississppi river, and the St Clair Flats. The house have passed a resolution, a u- thoririttg the Secretary of Navy, to dispatch • vessel with provisions, privately contribu- ted, to the Capo De Verde sufferers. Remarkably gratifying. The New York Daily Tribune, of April 25th, calls attention to an important an- nouncement made by Dr. Robert Hunter, of that city in his Medical Specialist for April, by which it appears, by the Official Records, that since the introduction of Dr. Hunter's practice in tho treatment of Con- sumption, namely, within two years, the number of deaths from that disease has di- minished more than thirty-one per cent The Tribune also reminds us of the in- crease of population and the uncommonly severe temperature of tho first three months of the present year, so \ trying to the constitutions, exhibiting still more the great triumphed announced.\ And Dr. Hunter in his Specialist re- marks : If our treatment had been unsuc- cessful, it must have incre^sx! the mor- tality. If successful, it could not but di- minish it in proportion to that success.— None who are at all acquainted with the magnitude of onr practice will deny that it has been, during the past two years, suffic- ient to csort the most decided influence on the bills of mortality, not only of this city, but also of the cities of Philadelphia, Bal timoro and Boston. That that influence- has been exerted in the marked decrease in the number of deaths is an inference from tho fact not only legitimate, but we think, unavoidable; and we claim it not on any personal grounds, but as the natural result of adopting a more directsimple, and com- mon-sense treatment. More than a year ago in one of our published letters, that \if every ense of Consumption in this city were placed under judicious treatment by inhalation, wtihin two years the mortality from this disease would be diminished one half.\ This prediction is now coming to pass. The Bill recently passed appropriating 1,500.000 acres of land in Iowa to certain Railroad companies in that state has receiv- ed tho signature of tho President The Sen- ale has also passed the Ho use Bill, granting alternate sections of land to Florida and Al- abama, to aid in the construction of Rail- roads. Arrival of the Northern Light NEW YORK, May 16. The Tribune contains the following ac- count of an eye witness of a railroad acci- dent at Panama dated Aspinwall 7th; Yesterday morning the passengers who left New York April 21st started from this place for Panama in three different trains. The first contained mailes, and the latter passengers. After proceeding a little over half way to Panama the engine of the freight train ran off the track in such a po- sition that it could not be replaced without a good deal of delay. Tho conductors of the passenger train ran back to Aspinwall. We were within about two miles of this place when a terrible crash was heard. I was in the rear car looking out of the win- dow, and saw tho cars rushing one upon the other until nine in number were demol- ished. Every car was crowded, containeng at least 60 persons. At present it is im- possible to estimate the number of killed or wounded, or their names, There were not less than 500 persons in the cars, which were shivered to atoms.— It must b» a low estimate to say that 50 were killed and at least 100 badly wound- ed. It seems almost miraculous that so many ecsaped with their lives. • • m ADMISSION OF KANSAS.—The committee on Territories in the House, have prepared a Bill for the immediate admission of Kan- sas which will be presented, when they are called on for tb ir report, which it is hoped will occur before DOUGLAS, \enabling resolu- tion\ for the prospective admission of Kansas shall have passed the Senate, and be laid bc- ore the House. The District Republican Convention for tho first Assembly District was held at Mayville on tho 15th. Tho Convention was called to order by Cyrus Underwood Esq., of Chautauque, and on motion J. E. Tew, of Stockton, was chosen president of the Convention; and M, C. Rice, Secre- tary. The towns were then called over anil the credentials of the candidates hand- ed in. Full dcligations were present from the towns represented. A ballot was had for the election of Delegates to the Republi- can State Convention, held at Syracuse, on the 28th, which resulted in the selection of L. B. Sessions, Esq., of Harmons, and Geo. A. Green, Esq., of Ghautauque. On mo- tion, the usual power of substitution was given to tho delegates. The fact that the American State Coun- cils of Mass., 111., and Penn, have recently endorsed the nomination of Fillmore and Donelson, has somewhat revived the des- ponding Fillmore Journals of thisStatc. All that we «an see in this, is that, there are traitors in the free soil portion of the Amer- ican Party. It does not prove that Fill- more's prospects are brightening, or that his chances of an election arc any stronger, than when ho was first nominated. As it was, this approval was by no means unani- mous. But allowing it to bo a true expres- sion of the party it only furnishes an addi- tional reason in favor of the pro slavery ten- dencies of the organization, and must drvei from its ranks, every intelligent aud real friend of liberty. The great mass of voters in the American ranks at the north can nev- er bo induced to support Fillmore. His position is too well known, and if it can oneo be fairly understood that he represents the American doctrine; and by packing convention &c, his nomination could be ap- proved by every state council in the Union the American party at tho north would soon dwindle to a select few of office seek- ers. And further if the free soil portion gi\e Fillmore a cordial support it is very sure that the south will not This fact of itself would be sufficient to disqualify him for southern votes. And it is well un- derstood, too, that tho Philadelphia conven- tion wholly abandoned the original Ameri- can platform, and that Catholics and Anti- Catholics were received into the convention on an equal footinc: And tho majority at the north, who joined the order did so on tho ground that it opposed Catholicism, but now that this has been abandoned there is nothing to retain them, except to preserve their consistency, which Fillmorites may rest assured they will not do at the expense of freedom.

DR. KNAPP will bo at the Westfield House on each Fryday Forenoon to attend to professional! calls. We find the following notice of his successin the Buffalo Christian Advocate. DR. KNAPP, OCULIST.—/The success which attends tho practice of Dr. Knapp, Oculist of this city, is almost beyond precedent; if indeed it has ever had a parallel. No pain attends the application of the remedy; while tho salutary effect is almost immediate. The Transcript, in its usual twadling style, takes exceptions to our comments on the affairs in Kansts; but wherein they cf- fend his regard for border ruffianism he seems unable to point out yet he feels htm self called upon to attack our article, if it is only to show his courage, and keep his party apprised of the fact that he is not falling from grace. For this is all that wo can see, he has accomplished, WARIIINGTOS, May 15. Yesterdsy afternoon Secretary Marcy sent for Mr. Marcoletta, and informed him as an act of courtecy, of tho determination of tho administration to receive M. Vijil as the accredited Minister of Nicaragua- Mr. Marcoletta complained of the pro- cording as a {violation of the Law of Na- tions, entering his solomn protest against ) the proceeding, informed Mr. Marcy that he should prepare an expose of all the facts, to be communicated to all the diplo- matic corps near this Government Padre Vijil was received to day as a Minister from Nicaragua by the President of the U.

HALE in the Senate Halls, when his voice was first raised in advocacy of tho Auti- Slavery movement with his brilliant power of sar- casm, glitter-shafts of wit light and polish- ed as the arrow of Apollo, which neither keen nor solid can resist; intimately associ- ated with the past struggles for Freedom, dealing her blows with tho strength of a Ti- tan, as has been evinced in his speech for Free Kansas, rightly sustaining to position tempus agit res ,in which regard, by their opposition, tho advocates of Squatter Sovereignty have given that system a dead- ly blow, not dreaming that a Polonious was concealed behind the areas; and in the Na- tional Senate as of yore, the interest of New Hampshire, and the cause of humanity and justice will bo sustained by his untiring ef- forts.

It is most appropriate, as it is indeed. fortunate, the eminently commercial State of.New York is represented in the conser- vative branch of tho National Government by tho Hon. HAMILTON FISH ; where his rare business talent mature judgement and vigorous intellect wields a controlling and permanent influence, and will not fail to sanction her great interests, as well as those of every section of tho Union; and it is sel- dom that personal or political reputation, proven so long in important positions as his, has remained pure and intact.

We called in to see the \ action,\ of these de- serving mills, tke other day. They are so handw to town that an observer couldn't help it Thar machinery seems to be in perfect order, simpl« and effective. Ample storage rooms and grain raising machinery all in order. But the Work of the mills is the chief matter. The flouring machinery seems to be of the best and most ef- fective kind. The quality of the flour is very- fine, and suits an Epicurean every way. Mr HALS. is evidently doing bis best to deserve the patron- age of an appreciating public. A good natured fellow, they say too, is COLE, tbe Miller. Westfield, May 7th. JH# Special Card. DR.

TO IHVALIDi Laboring under Affections of the Throat or Lungs Doct Calvin 1YL Fitch, FORMERLY OF 714 BROADWAY, X Y Author of the Invalids (Juide. and Consump: tive s Manual, Ac. having recently returned from Europe' would inform his Patients at the We; t. and all interested in the announcement that he will open on the FIRST OF JUNE a permanent office At Ho. 459 Main St., BaHtlo, N. T. Where he may be consulted Daily (Sabbath ex- cepted) from nine to five, for Throa! ind Pulmonary Diseases, More Particularly Consumption, Asthma, and Chronic Bronchitis, In the treatment of which a judicious combina- tion of Remedial measures, tbe employment of Mechanical and Constitutional Remedies, and of Medicinal and Sthenotropbic Inhalations, give him a degree of success which can never attend a merely partial treatment of these Affections.— Dr. FITCH may also be consulted for all derange- ments of the system preceding, or giving rise to- Pulmonary Disease, particularly Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Costivenest, and Female Complaints. Persons'wishing to consult but unable to visit Dr. Fitch, can do so by /ending! him a written statement of their case—and Foreigner* unac- quainted with English may address him either in French or German. A personal examination ia however preferable, as important symptoms are sometimes overlooked by the patient; and alsc- as constant practice in consultation enable Dr. F. to determine the condition of the Langs with great accuracy; thus of course enabling him more successfully to modify and adapt treatment to individual cases. CONSULTATIONS FREE Dr. C. M FITCH has associated with himselft in practice Dr. J. W. 8YKES, for a long time hi* assistant, a gentleman in whose professional abil- ity he has the highest confidence; and he further ityshes it distinctly understood that he has no- winger any professional connection witn Dr. 8. 8- loitch, but that communications will hereafter be- addressed to CALVTN M.
