COTTOVCZXD on
The proprietors of one of our linseed
oil mills have commenced the manufae*'
tare of oil from cotton seed, and about
foar hundred bag* of the seed arrived
here this week from Memphis, to be
used for this purpose Tho oil is used
for burning. How far the parties will
succeed in their enterprise, remains to
be demonstrated. We believe the man-
ufacture of oil from cotton seed has been
carried on in the South to a greater or
lesser extent, for several years; at
Natchez, we believe one of these mills has
been in operation, for some ten years;
but so far, the oil hu not come into
Kneral use. The difficulty seems to be
clarifying, as it will not burn in a
«rude state. Should our enterprising
citiiiens succeed in preparing the oil for
use, it will prove a most important ar-
ticle of commerce — Cincinnati Price
Current.
The foregoing ha« called forth the
following remarks from a r or respondent
of the Newport (Fla.) Times.
w I will mention a few facts, which
may be of oso to somebody. There is a
prejndioe against Cotton Seed Oil, but
it's owug mainly to the fact that the
seed haVe been extensively used for that
purpoee without hulling—the bull im
parting to the oil a bitter taste, and a
Sammy substance, which injures it for
rying, and causes smoke when burning
Notwithstanding this, quantities of this
Oil have been mixed witl^ Linseed and
Lard Oils, and # the buyers have been
none the wiser for it.' Some three years
since a friend of mine commenced the
manufacture of Oil from Cotton Seed
The seeds were first perfectly hulled, so
that nothing bat the meat of (he seed
waa nsed. After the oil was extracted
it wentt through a olarifying process, (a
■imple one, bat very perfect.) leaving it
as dear andfcs pare as the best Olive.
Fot burning it has no superior, as it
givfts a clear, brilliant light, without
smoke, and for the table it can scarcely
be surpassed, for it has deceived, and. is
•till deceiving many good judges of the
article. Indeed, my friend assured me
that he waavuable to fill all the orders
for oil put ap for the table—bat he ad
ded; We dare not call it Cotton Seed
Oil, lest it might prejudice the sale.
We of the Cottou growing States can
safely feel ourselves perfectly independ
ent of the world for oil for all purposes.

The Rev. Mr. Brooke delivered a lec-
ture at Georgetown, D. C., on the Tem
poral Power of the Pope, in' reply to
Father foroard Magaire. At its close,
he said that ho did not know u Sam,"
bat he thoaght be kntow his history.
M Sam" was born in the garden of Eden
when the world was deluged, he rode oat
with Noah in the ark; he was
at the building of the Tower of
. ,,i, he wandered with the children
of Israel in the wilderness ; he was with
Miriam in the inspired song and danee
ho Vlow the lendest ram's horn trumpet
* when the walls of Jerico fell; he elothed
John the Baptist, and was with him on
the banks of the river, he held up the
chains of |*sul when he reasoned of
righteousness and judgment to come up
before Agrippa. He had a hard time
with tbo Popes and the IiÉ}fiÍ8Ítion, but
it was he who pointed the young Luther
to the dust covered Bible on the neg-
leeted shelves of the monastery; be
brought that Bible with him across the
tha ocean ip tho Mapilower; he laid the
oornor-stone of the first Protestant
church in the colonies; and it was he
who Btirjtd up the old and the young,
the rich and poor, high and low, in the
oppressed colonies, that even the moun-
tain boya knwr that " Sam" was about.
Ho introdooed Patrick Henry to the
nation in the Bonse of Burgesses, when
ho, with his sool overflowing with the
purest patriotism, and his voice elothed
with tho power of thunder, gave utter-
ance to those immortal words, still
echoing in our ears—" Give me liberty,
or give me death /"
f The Confederate says that the State
Gazette republishes Mr. Fillmore's old
Erie letter, written in 1838, and seems
to think it will oertainly have some effect
Fillmore shouldered that in 1849, and
oarried it triumphantly through that
contest. He subsequently proved him-
self a spotless patriot, a firm and un-
flinching defender of tho Constitution
and the Union. He won the admira-
tion, tho respeet, and the affection of all
parties exeept the abolitionists of the
North, and the secessionist of the South,
and left his high position, second only
in the publio estimation, to the immor-
tal Washington. And yet, to subserve
party purposes, such dirty party pimps
as this State Gasette, attempt to impugn
his integrity and oharge him with hos-
tUitv to the 8outh. We would invite
the attention of the Gazette man to the
following from the Charleston News, in
regard to the soundness of whose democ-
racy there can bo no question:
" The nomination of Mr. Fillmore for
the Presidency, by the American Con
vsntion at Philadelphia, and which was
not entirely unexpected, under the pro-
babilities presented, for the last few
days, is unquestionably a most import-
ant political event. It may have the
most signal influence npon the aspect of
the great controversy impending between
parties and sections. Mr. Fillmore is a
national conservative, whose Presidential
administration not only commanded the
respeet of the North and South, both on
THE AMEBIC AN PLATFORM.
Philadelphia, Feb, 21.—The Nation-
al American Council passed this even-
ing the platform of principles published
on the 15th inst., in the Washington
Organ, as a substitute for the whole
platform, established by the June Con-
vention. The vote stood yeas 108, uays
77. Various members from Ohio made
peeohes on the subject, some declaring
that the platform was a death blow to
Americanism in Ohio, while others ex«
pressed themselves content, and defend-
ed Mr. F'ord, of Ohio, from the charge
of Black Republicanism made by Mr.
Bennett, of New York.
The platform alluded to is as follows ;
1. An humble acknowledgement to
the Supreme Beiug who rules the uni-
verse for His protecting care, vouch-
safed to our fathers in their successful
revolutionary struggle, and hitherto
manifested to us, their descendants, in
the preservation of the liberties, the in-
dependence, and the union of these
States.
2 The perpetuation of the Federal
Union as the palladium of our civil and
religious liberties, and the only sure
bulwark of American independence.
3. Americans must rule America ; and
to this end native born citizens should
be selected for all State, federal and mu*
nicipal offices or government employ-
ment, in preference to naturalized citi-
zens, nevertheless,
4¡. Persons born of American parents
residing temporarily abroad, should be
entitled to all the rights of native born
citizens; but
5. No person should be selected for
political station, (whether of native or
foreign birtb,) who recognizes any alle-
giance or obligation of any description
to any foreign prince, potentate or pow-
er, or who refuses to recognise the Fede-
ral and State constitutions (each within
its sphere) as paramount to all other
laws, as* rules of political action.
9. Tho unqualified recognition and
maintainance of the reserved rights of
the several States, and the cultivation
of harmony and fraternal good will be-
tween the citizens of the several States,
and to this end, non-interference by
Congress with questions appertaining
solely to the individual States, and non-
intervention by each State with the af-
fairs of any other State.
7. The recognition of the right of the
native-born and naturalized citizens of
the United States, permanently residing
in any Territory thereof, to frame their
constitutions and laws, and to regulate
their domestic and social affairs in their
own mode, subject only to the provi-
visions of the Federal Constitution, with
the right of admission into the Union
whenever they have the requisite popu-
lation for one Representative in Con-
gress, Provided always, that none but
those who are citizens of the ^United
States, under the constitutions MB laws
thereof, and who have a fixed residence
in any sueh Territory, ought to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution,
or in the enaetment of laws for said Ter-
ritory or State.
8. An enforcement of tho prinetpte
that no State or Territory can admit
others than native born citizens to the
right of suffrage, or of holding political
office, unless such persons shall have
been naturalized according to the laws
of tha United States.
9. A change in the laws of naturaliza-
on, making a "continued residence of
twenty one years, of all not heretofore
provided for'an indispensable requisite
for citizenship hereafter,* and excluding
all paupers, and persons convicted of
crime, from landing upon our shores ;
but no interference with the vested
rights of foreigners.
10. Opposition to any union between
Church and State; no interference with
religions faith or worship, and no test
oaths for office, except those indicated
in the 5th section of this platform.
11. Free and thorough investigation
into any and alleged abuses of public
functionaries, and a strict economy in
public expenditures.
12. The maintenance and enforcement
of all laws until said laws shall be re-
>ealed, orshall be declared null and^void
>y competent judicial authority.
12. Opposition to the reckless and
unwise policy of the present administra-
tion in the general management of our
national affairs, and more especially as
shown in removing " Americans," (by
designation) and conservatives is prin-
ciple, from office, and placing foreigners
and nltraists in their places; as shown
in a truckling subserviency to the strong-
er, and an insolent and cowardly brava-
do towards the weaker powers; as shown

bles, Sc., Sec., are illustrated and described as soon as
