to maintain and assert that tho Union
was not and is not the creaturo of tho
States, is no lens remnrkablo than aston
ishing. It shows nothing moro clearly
than tho utter recklessness of tho Cen
tralists. so far as regards either principle,
right or truth.
If thero be one indisputable, truth,
connected with tho history of this coun
try, it is that tho Union was formal by
the States, and that it i3 therefore tho
creature of the States. His statement
that his “political creed” won formed
noon the “sentiments” of Gen. Wash
ington, is but unblushing effrontery.
Gen. Washington styled tho Union
under tho present Constitution “a Con-
fejcrdled ltepubtic.” This Mr. Grccloy
Knows wolf enough, lie also' knows just
as well that a “Confederated Republic”
is a union of distinct and separate Re
publics or States, formed by tho mem
bers composing it for their mutual pro
tection, safety and lienofit.
Kis allusions to tho debate between
Mr. Webster and Mr. ] favno, in 1830 and
tho opinion of Mr. Livingston, Gen.
Jackson’s Secretary of State, who wrote
the celebrated proclamation in the days
of nullification, is equally unfortunate
for him. No man of ouaincnco in that
debato fin 1830) in the Senate of the
United States maintained that the Union
was not forrnod by tho States. Edward
Livingston, to whom Mr. Greeley refers,
took directly opposite grounds. After
showing conclusively that tho Union was
formed by the States, and sotting forth
his views of tho nature of tho Govern
ment established by tho Constitution, he
summed up tho following conclusions
from his entiro argument:
“That among tho attributes of sover
eignty retained by tho States, is that of
watching over tho operations of tho Gen
eral Government and protecting its citi
zens r.gainrt their unconstitutional abuse;
and that this can bo legally done—
“First, in tho case of an act, in the
opinion of tho Stato palpably unconsti
tutional, bnt affirmed in tho Supremo
Court in tho legal exorcise of its func
tions;
lt , x “£y remonstrating ogniust it to Con
‘Ofsy an address to the people in their
olectlyo functions to chango or instruct
their representatives;
“By a' similar address to tho other
States in which tlioy will have tho right
to declare luy. they consider tho act as
unconstitutional and therefore void ;
“By proposing amendments to .tho
Constitution in tho manner pointed out
by that instrument;
“And, finally, if tho act bo notoriously
oppressivo and they find tho General
Government persevero in enforcing it,
by a resort to the natural light which
any pcoplo havo to resist extremo op
pression.
“Socondly, If tho act bo ono of tlioso
few which in its operation cannot bo
submitted to the Supremo Court, and ono
that will, in the opinion of the State,
justify tho risk of a withdrawal from the
ApK^mon, that this last extremity be at once
j resorted to.”
Those arc tho deliberately expressed
views of Mr. Edward Livingston, as
given in tho United States Senate in the
l discussion on the celebrated Foote Reso-
.;\ t lulions. See Niles’ Register, supplement
to vol. 08, page 171.
This same Edward Livingston was
afterwards Secretary of Stato under
General Jackson, and, it is said, penned
his famous proclamation against Nul
lification ; but it must bo re
membered that thero is nothing in that
proclamation which ho or Gen. Jackson
considered inconsistent with tho fore
going extract.
The proclamation was against tho doc
trine of tho right of a State to remain in
tho Union anti yet refuse obedience to

cial, individual and public or political
integrity, were the same, and ho could
see no difference between them ; and he
was so scrupulously exact as to disqualify
him for the position of a professional of
fice-seeker or place-hunter.
In stylo and manner, he was well-bred
and dignified without being lofty or se
vere. He held at a just equipoise the fair
medium line, and was easily accessible to
all, yet never familiar with any. We nev
er heard him nse a foolish expression or

year or so in the office of Hon. Young
L. Gresham, at Watkinsville/Imt did not,
for some reason, enter upon the practice.
It was doubtless during this period that
I10 made tho acquaintance of Miss. Lucy
Harvey, whom ho subsequently married
and with -Whom' bif-livodt in. grcat lappi-
ness during some thirlyvflfcei nr forty
years. Of this union wore bom‘to Mr.
Hull a number of sons, but no daughter.
Of tho most distinguished of these aro
Col.. William Hope Hull, pn .eminent
lawyer of- Augusta; Mr. Henry lin'd, a
distinguished business man—who suc
ceeded his father ns cashier.of tho Branch
of tho State Bank at-Atljens,, and npw
a leading banker of the city oi Now Or
leans; and Mr. Georgo .G. Hull an activo
civil engineer mid railroad man, long a
resident of this eifcy, now, we believe, of
AagUflta. b •• . \-.l
In 1816, Mr. Hull commenced lifo as
a tntor in Franklin College, which posi
tion ho filled for two years. In 1819, he
was elected Secretary and Treasurer' of
tho College, which ofiico.,he held until
his death—a period of nearly forty-
seven years. . '.
During this long time ho 'had, prac
tically, though not theoretically, tho
management, care, and investment of
the funds of tho College, and it is a sin
gular fact, and to his credit as a business
man, that during his whole term of
ofiico, the Collego never lost a dollar by
any mistakes or neglect of his.
In the year 1825-6, I10 was elected a
Representative to tho lower branch of
tho Georgia Legislature, from Clarke
county, and continually after, for. about
ten years, and then several times at peri
ods of some years intervening.
From the very first, ho took, and al
ways maintained a high rank as a first
class business man in that body, then
having in it the very best minds in the
State. He was a ready, clear, argu
mentative, and forcible speaker, making
no attempt at wit, repartee or brillian
cy; choosing rather to convince the
judgment than to amnso the fancy of his
hearers; and whilo ho did not affect tho
graces of the orator, yet, it may be truly
said, that few men . ever commanded
more of the respect and confidence of
hearers than lie. His calm, .deliberate
manner and clear, vigorous style, always
attracted attention wherever lio spoke.
For the sessions of 1831-2-3, ho was
Speaker of. tlio House of Representatives
of Georgia, where, by common consent,
he stood at tho head of tho list of illus
trious men who had filled that high
ofiico, until the election of Charles J.
Jenkins. Tho writer remembers to have
heard tho lato Hon. Wilson. Nesbitt, of
tho Richland District of South Carolina,
say on ono occasion, that Mr. Hull, for
dispatch of business, promptness, and
ooueuUuss in decision!) vans. vinsnir
passed as a presiding officer by any one
lio had known except Henry Clay. Ho
always kept the business of the House
well in hand, and snch was his admitted
fairness and impartiality in tlio Chair,
that all wci-o satisfied, and few appeals
were over taken from his decision; and
then, only upon doubtful questions of
Parliamentary Law.
In 1835, the Bank of the Stato of Geor
gia determined to locate a branch at
Athens. Ho was elected cashier, and
held the positiomintil 1853, when ho de
clined longer to servo in so rcsponciblo

they went astray, and meeting a gentle
manly-looking person, who happened to
be an Irishman, they politely asked him
ff ho would kindly direct them to the
Palais Royal. “Faith, and that I will,
my boys,” says Pat, at the same timo
taking a mental photograph of the three
“boys.” “This way, my hearties.” And
so they wero conducted to tho gates of
the Royal Palace, and the Irishman was
about bidding them farewell, when the
Emperor' of Russia, interested and
pleased, as much by the genuine polite
ness of Put (and what son of Erin was
ever yet deficient in conrtcsy and polite
ness), asked him ..who he was. “Well,”
rejoined their guide, “I did not ask you
caI propriety. In his business relations . w j l0 y OU we re, and before I answer yon,
ho was scrupulously—indeed, • wo might
saypunctitiou3ly—exact and careful.
Ho transacted business promptly, truly,
methodically and punctually, and upon
correct bnsiness principles. Ho never
stopped to debato questions of debat-
ablo morality, bnt rejected them oa the
instant without turning them. over.

ness men become; had dark skin and
hair, a strongly marked, intelligent face,
and moved at a steady pace, wearing, in
his movements, the. indications of
thought. He nover engaged in specula
tions or traded much, bnt by steady, well
directed and legitimate accumulations
had acquired a goodly share of worldly
wealth,and up to the beginning of the war,
with wh'at lio had advanced his children,
was worth from $160,000 to $170,060—a
good largo estnto for a man who kept
open house all his life and nover made a
dollar by hazzards or adventures in trade.
His interest in railroads, manufactures
and education know no abatement to tho
hour of his death; indeed, all matters
affecting tho interests of Ills connlry and
his race, lie deeply and feelingly sympa
thised with.
Tho Church of his Father was the
house and home of his life. Ho in
dulged no religions tenets outside
of old fashioned Methodism. His end
was as calm and as blessed of his
Maker as had been the pathway of life.
On the morning of the 25th day of
January, 1866, he had arisen apparently
in his usual health; and after passing
about tho house, went to his room, as was
his habit, took his Bible, and was reading

Asbury Hull. As no had lived, and
squared his life by the great truth of the
Bible, it was a fitting tribute to the love
ho boro to his Divine Master, that ho
should ho permitted to die with it in his
hands.

stances of an adventitious kind, for apart

in which, and the cotemporaries amongst
<viiom ho lived, mil accord him; but
judged by tho usual standards of native
merit, successful achievement, and exalt

After some further parleying, one said,

“And might I make bowld to ax who you

Insurance Company, of Athens.
Tho question of the success of a mutu
al insurance company was then one of
much debato, and it was, no doubt, in a
good dogreo owing to the confidence in
spired by the connection of Mr. Hull
with it, both before and after ho was
made President, that complete success
attended its early beginnings and subse

Whilo cashier of the Branch Bank at
Athens, almost all the responsibility of
its management fell upon his hands, for
althongh it had at all times a most excel
lent Board of Directors, all who are ac
quainted with tho facts, know that such
was their confidence in Mr. Hull’s judg
ment, his accurate business tact, and his
scrupulous, methodical industry and in
tegrity, that tho Board usually allowed
him to pursue his own suggestions in all
matters of bnsiness coming before them.
This branch of the bank was a contin
uous success during tho whole time of
pounded by tho Supremo Court.
Neither Mr. Livingston nor Gen. Jack-

Eds. Sun : We left tho Tallulah pic
nickers at Marietta and journeyed behind
a spanking team to these delightful
Springs, where we are reposing and re
cuperating and getting up a sort of sum
mer resort for our own special delight.
The mountain and woodland scenery all
along the way, kept us wido awake ; and
we enjoyed tlio drive as a pleasant vari
ance froni the gleesome trip of the Tal-
lulah’s by special locomotive on their
excursion, where music and dance, mirth
and gayety ruled tho day.
Theso Springs are hid away np here in
-North Georgia, among the airy moun
tains, rolling hills and rich green ver
dure, which unite in making up a grand
picturesquo variety and lend a charm to
the dingles and dells and cascades, mak
ing us feel romantic, comfortable and
happy. There are several oi these
springs near each other, clear and spark
ling, deliciously cool and all differing in
mineral strength and invigorating prop
erties. Only a day or two did wo enjoy
alone these delightful scenes, this re
freshing coolness and quiet repose, when
other gay pleasure-seekers eaino and di
verted our enjoyment. This was a party
of Mariettians, who, to gratify a lovo of
novelty, eamo down upon us with their
fun anil fashions, sweet music, graceful
dancing, delightful games and general
festivity. Hearts felt light and joyous
and si ox mergod into enthusiastic pleas
ure and delightful asseteiation. Beautiful
ladies and lovely lassies fished, frolicked
and fascinated and kept np a whirl qf
delight, the live-long day. Liberal eating,
funny toasting, amusing anecdote, mnm-
ble-peg and courting wero added to tho
programme undor the head of promis
cuous, and certainly no party of tho sea
son can boast of a more joyfnl excursion.
Ten acres of beautiful woodland, together
with tlio pleasant surroundings, render
this a most delightful and attractive
watering placo, and why it is that tho
Atlanta company who own it do not im
prove it and introduce our health and
pleasuro-soeking citizens here is a ques

proof that a part could never ba neater than tho
whole, notwithstanding the political heresy that tlio
Union was tho creature of tiio SlatoB. Tho city of
New Orleans and tho State or Louleiann tc-ld a differ
ent truth: they told that this great sea-bound city,
tho metropolis of tho South, and tho territory sur
rounding, was wrested from Enropean dominion by
the blood and sweat of American peoplo; that it was
acquired originally by tlie money and diplomacy of
tho Union, and was designed as a retltgo for tho ge
nius and for tho development of the resources of the
American people.
Where, ho asked, wero tho Union a creature of the
States, would Now Orleans or Louisiana havo been
to-day? It was a monstrous mistake to suppose the
Union a creatnro of theso Slates; and the belief,
identified as properly Southern, ho considered herc-
By. That they, (the States) belonged to tho goncrnl
whole, he did not protend to deny ; that they have
rights, he had always claimed. [Applause.] Ilia po
litical creed had been founded on the sentiments of
the great men tho South gavo to the Union. lie

George Washington—a Southern man—but a nation
al Southern man. Never in tho history of the eonu-

greater dignity, Integrity, purity or capacity. We
had no real progress in government since tho days of
Washington.
Chlof Justice Marshall, iu tho thirty-throe years
of liis official career, did more to organize tho gov
ernment and put its theory into practice than any
living man. Ho achieve^ more with hiB pen than
all tho swords over nsod, with tho exception of two
or threo. It was nover contemplated that nny State,
however large, should bo empowered to nullify the
lie.
During hts trip South ho had a conversation with

went out, * ho considered that hts paramount allegi
ance should remain with his Stato. Tho doctrlno.
Hr. Orcc’ey deelarod, was never learned from the
Whig party. When thero was a war of giants in tho
Senate, find Ilayno, of South Carolina, t-ilked of nul
lification and States’ rights, Daniel Webster an
swered it with a crushing denunciation that re
sounded throughout tho whole country, and rejoiced
tho hearts of Sonthorn men as well as Northern men.
When nations-or communities appeal to tho argu
ment of war, they should abide by tho decision. Wo
who dofondod tho national life are prepared to give
it a consistent and logical oxecutlon ; they (alluding
to tlie negrocp) are not kindred in race or blood, but
they aro hero and not likely to move away; we
nood all tho talent and, labor wo havo, and twenty
times as many ; should our limits become too small
to contain afi, they could bo easily enlarged. I am
disposed to acknowledge the equality of all races.

become a valuablo element of tho Union. They are
not my enemies who chose to bo my enemies seven
or eight years ago.
When at a later day South Carolina attempted to
carry out that doctrine, Andrew Jackson, another
Southern man, answered in a masterly proclamation,
taking even stronger grounds than did Mr. Webster.
Edward Livjngton, his Secretary of State, and native
of Louisiana, very probably wroto that proclamation.
If that was uot Southern doctrino, then Qcorgo
Washington, John Marshall, Andrew Jackson and
Edward Livingston were r.ot Southern men. As for
him, though born in New Hampshire, anil a resident
of New York for over forty years, he believed in tlio
whole country. [Applause.] Had the attempt to

delivered herself from that affliction, and to that lie

Adulterated Milk.
Dr. Bates, Health Officer of San Fran
cisco, in a recent communication says:
“Tho common mode for adulterating
milk for this market is with water, burnt
sugar and table salt, by which process
tho bulk is increased from one-eighth to
one-half, and can scarcely bo detected by
sight or taste.
“Ordinary water, in almost any pro
portion, will cause milk to formont or
sour much more speedily than pure milk
will, and this putrefactive fermentation
renders milk, as food for children, ex
ceedingly productive of disease. Water
if added to milk at all, should bo put in
only a few minutes before the moment of
using.
Pure, fresh milk (uot swill milk) is al
ways alkalino, which will bo shown by
dropping into it a piece of ‘ tuomerio
yellow paper/ which will turn brown ;
and if tho milk contains acid (which it
should not) a piece of * litmus blue pa
per ’ dipped into it will disclose tho fact
by the paper changing to a red color.
Milkmen sometimes use common salt to
increase the specific gravity of their milk,
which if used in sufficient quantity to
raise the lactometer more than ono de
gree, can be, in most cases, detected by
the taste, and certainly so by boiling tho
milk down to ono-half the quantity.
Chalk is said also to be sometimes used,
which can bo readily detected by sotting
some of the milk aside in a glass vessel
to sottlo, and in a very short time it will
be discovered at tho bottom.”
