CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUGUSTA.
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14.
“When shall our troubles have an end 1 ”
No mail again last night! We have been
dying for a fortnight with anxiety to see the
message of our Democratic President, and arc
yet doomed to disappointment. What is Ken
dall about? Is he yet engaged in the New Jer
sey election, or is he 100 busy writing editorials
for the Globe, to attend to his office?
In to-day’s paper will be found the bill which
has passed the House of Representatives of this
State, in relation to tlie Maine difficulty. It i«
very different from the bill roported, which we
commented on the other day. It is, however,
but a fioor remedy for the evil complained of.
“ A tvful Confessions.”
The following is from the Macon Telegraph,
one of the leading Van Huron papers in thin
state. list it lie read hy all the true friends of
the Administration.
“ It is slated in the Tallahassee papers, that the
Governor of Florida hat despatched Col. Fit*-
patrick to Cuba to purchase blood-hounds, to pay
for which the Union Hank had advanced SSOOO.
This atop should have been adopted years ago.—
Let northern fanatics whine and roll up the
whites of their eyes as they may, humanity, as
well as policy, requires that (his savage insurrec
tion should be put to an end—mildly if practica
ble—but pan lively /« an eiulJ HAD THE
GOVERNMENT PAID LESS REGARD TO
THE PIOUS GROANS OF THE ABOLI
TIONISTS, AND MORE TO THE BLEED
ING WOUNDS OF FLORIDA, the savagea
before this might have been subdued, and the
country at peace. It is folly, nay blind inlatua
tion, to hold talks and make treaties with such
people—it may as well lie done with wolves and
wildcats, and lie equally binding. They must
be treated as murderers and oul-laws, and a
bounty set upon their heads.”
Wc particularly recommend the above para
graph to our readers, and most particularly (he
lines which we have put in capitals. Wc agree
to evciy aylable of it. Who is the Government
here spoken if, unless it be the present adminis
tration ? Yes the Democratic Administration,
with Van Burcn at its head, who has been hold
up to the South as the peculiar foe to abolitionists,
and around whom the south should rally, as the
brazen ae pent upon which the South should look
for salvation from Abolitionism! And yet this ab
olition-hating Administration has been so atten
tive to the groans of the Abolitionists as to sacri
fice “bleeding Florida !” A most beautiful con
fession for a paper that is moving Heaven and
Earth to continue this sarn ) administration in
power! ,
The Macon Telegraph of Tuesday, says:—
“Some excitemen' prevailed in Cotton Avenue, 1
<
on learning the arrival of the Liverpool, and no ,
little rejoicing, that the news was no worse. A i
temporary animation was given to the market; I
but prices soon settled down to former rates. —
We quote the same ns last week, viz; 7a 7J t
cents—very liitle at the latter price, i
From 1,500 to 2,000 bags come in per day.— ‘
On one day last week upwards of 3,000 'bags ]
were received.” i
i
Messrs, Euitous :—lu looking over the list
of Banks, in the Constitutionalist of the 10th,
containing the names of near thirty Georgia
Banks, only three are .pul down ns being at par
in Augusta, and those three not received on de
posite!;
I understand par to mean bills that arc received
on deposite.
In the same liat the Notes of the Augusta
Banks are quoted nt a premium ! !
At a premium for what, pray ?
I owe money and cannot gel the bills off at par.

Extract of a letter received in this city, dated
Marietta, December 17, 1830,
p. I have the satisfaction to inform you that the
Commissioners of the Western and Atlantic
Mail Road have received favorable proposals, for
excavating the road formation from Cross Plains,
in Murray county, to Ross’ landing, on the Ten
nessee river. The work is to be done, though
paid for in six per rent. Slate stock at par value,
for a sum more than twenty-five per cent, less
than similar work has heretofore cost, though paid
for »n cash. The Commissioners have rejected
proposals for no part of the road, except the tun
nel of fourteen hundred feet length, through a
mountain called Little Blue Midge, and a deep
rock cut near the north-west terminus on the
river. These two sections, it is believed, will
soon be taken at fair prices by the same or other
bidders.
It is now pretty certain that the entire road for
mation, yet to be done, will be executed for a
sum considerably below Col. Long’s estimate,
viz: $559,000; though you remember to have
heard, lately at Milledgeville, that it was to cost
millioni.
At a special meeting of the Medical Society of
Augusta, Georgia, held this day, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously a
d opted;
Whereas, the Medical Society, at its assem
bling for its winter sessions, is forcibly and pain
fully reminded of the death of two of its recent
members, Milton Antoni and Isaac Bowkn:
therefore,
Resolved, That aa members of the Medical So
cicly of Augusta. Georgia, we lament the death
of Milton Antoni, M. D., late its President,
aa of a personal friend; that wc have thus been
deprived of an officer, who ever presided with
dignity and impartiality; that as members of tho
medics! profession, we lament the loss it has sus
tained of one, who labored with ardent zeal and
indefatigable industry, to raise iu character and
improve its science, and has left bahind him nc.
ble monuments as testimonies of his devotion to
its interests.
Resolved, That ws mourn the losd of Isaac
Bow an, M. D. late our associate, as one, who by
his extensive professional learning and readiness
in debate, contributed his full share to the edifi
cation and entertainment of our society, and by
his amiable deportment, recommended himself
to our warm affections.
That wc sympathise with the families and
friends of the deceased in their bereavement, and
tender to them our sincere condolence, with this
expression of our respect for their memories. P
That those Resolutions lie published in the Ga
zettes of the city, and copies sent to the families
of the deceased.
L. D. FORD, Vice President.
Pall F. Eve, Secretary.
Augusta, Dec. 20th, 1839.
From our Correspondent.
Milleurkville, Dec. 18, 1839,
The Hcnutc did nothing on yesterday of im
portance, other than its action upon the appro"
priation bill.
The House of Representatives devoted the
whole forenoon to the consideration and passage
of the “Maine Bill,” (I herewith enclose you a
copy of it as passed.)
In the afternoon, they acted upon a number of
hills, hut they were almost exclusively of a per
sonal and local character.
I send you a copy of the testimony in tho
case of the Stale vs. Jolm R. Bays. It has been
fully discussed in both brunches to-day, and the
debates were of tlie most interesting character.
The House, after spending the forenoon upon
it, have laid it on the table for tho present. The
Senate did not dispose of the hill for his pardon,
until an hour after dark, when the yeas and nays
were required on its passage, and were yeas 33,
nays 37.
Notice has b*ett given by Mr. Gordon, of
Chatham, that an effort will be made, on to-mor
row morning, to reconsider.*Jlt is expected (hat
the Senate will probably consume tho greater
part of the forenoon in deciding tlie motion for
reconsideration.
Tho House has been much perplexed to-day,
in determining upon the tax act, and the numer
ous proposed amendments submitted. As the
bill is somewhat disfigured and complicate, as
passed, and the hour was late, I could not obtain
a brief of its contents. On to-morrow I shall
examine it, and if there is any now feature incor
porated in it, will transmit a notice of it to you.
(Both branches concur in the determination to
adjourn on Saturday night, but as a mass of un
finished business is yet before them, there is
some doubt of their .final a(\journincnt on that 1
day, |
All arc eager (o depart for tlieir respective '
homeland will urge every thing to accomplish |
their object. i
(
A Bill to compel vessels owned or com- 1
mantled by Citizens of, or coming from tho ports
of the State of Maine, and the officers, seamen
anil passengers thereof, to perform Quarantine, i
and to provide for a search thereof on their de
parture. i
Whereas, certain persons have been charged
with having feloniously taken and carried away ,
the personal property of some of the good citizens
of this Slate, and have fled to tho State of Maine.
And whereas, the Government of Maine lias refu
sed, after a Constitutional anti legal demand has
been made by the Executive of this State, to deliv
er up such fugitives from justice, which refusal is
an assumption of authority, not only in violation
of tho Constitutional (tampan, l>ut wholly de
structive to the rights of private property. For
remedy whereof,
Re it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives in General Assembly met ;
That from and after the first day of March next,
every vessel by whatever description or name
known, owned or commanded by any citizen of,
or coming directly or indirectly from any port of
the State of Maine, and the officers, crew, and
passengers thereof, shall perform Quarantine for
and during the space of one hundred days after
arrival within the limits of this State ; anil whilst
such vessel may he under Quarantine, it shall not
be lawful for the officers, seamen and passengers
thereof, or any of them, to go on shore, or on
board of any ship, vessel or bout whatsoever; anil
in case such officers, seamen or passengers, whilst
under quarantine shall go on shore, or onboard
any ship, vessel or boat whatsoever, he or they
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on convic
tion shall be imprisoned ot hard labor in the Pen
itentiary for a period not less than five nor lon
ger than ten years.
And be it further enacted. That during the
continuance of this Act, no vessel from the State
of Maine, us before described, nor any officer, sea
men or passengers thereof, shall approach within
three miles of any seaport, city, town or hamlet of
this Stale, without being considered as having
violated the limits of Quarantine us intended to
l-o provided by this Act, and for such approach
to said city, town or hamlet, lie, sheer they shall
be indicted for a misdenicaiitr, and in conviction
be imprisoned in the Penitentiary at hard labor,
not less than five nor longer than ten years.
And be it further enacted. That it shall not be
lawful for any officer, seamen or passenger ofnnv
vessel us herein before described, whilst under
quarantine, to have or hold any intercourse or
communication, cither directly or indirectly, with
any slave or slaves, a free person, or persons of
color, without the written authority of the owner
or guardian thereof, which shall !«> the only jus
tification tor such officers, seamen or passengers;
and it while such vessel is under quarantine, any
such officers, seamen or passengers, shall have or
hold any intercourse or communication with any
slave or slaves, or person or persons of color with
out the authority aforesaid, he, she or thev shall
be indicted for a misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be imprisoned as herein provided by the first
section.
And be it further enacted. That after any ves
sel as herein before deserioed, shall be discharged
from quarantine and before sailing from any port
of this iStuto, it shall be the duty of the Captain
or Commander thereof, to give twenty four hours
previous notice of such departure to tlie Mayor or
the highest municipal officer of the seaport city,
town or hamlet, from which such vessel is about
to sail, who shall lie and is hereby authorized to
make a search of such vessel, and on failure to
give such notice, such Captain or Commander
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on convic
tion fined at the discretion of the Court.
Remarks of Mr It LACK, of Georgia, upon the
Sew Jersey Election question, in the House ts
Representatives, December 1839.
Mr. Black, of Georgia, begged leave to occupy
the attention of the House for a -lion lime, and, I*,
liire he proceeded, he owed p-rhaps an apology p,
the House and the gentleman from Maryland for the
manner in which he had fortbe first time presented
himself to its notice Ho meant no disrespect to
any one here ; he had only eia-iaed the right for
colleague (Mr. Colquitt) to be heard, w hen other
f oi.llemen, who bad spoken repeatedly, were wun
• ring trow the incidental question hclore them, and
a dres.ing themselves to ths menu of the ma
9 proposition. De asaened the (josiiion he had
assumed in In* claim 10 ihe floor, upon llie ground
8 that, although lhv question immedialely before ihe
House might he new in its mere (mm. >el that it
; was substantially I tie same that had been debated
f (or seven days before that body ;in proof ol which,
f he referred to the speech just deliver'd hy the gen
tleman front New York (Mr. Vunderpoel,) and lo
•he reply thereto i»y the gentleman from Vermont
] (Mr. Everett,) both of which had been addresscil lo
. the merits of ihe original question. In continua
tion of that debate, she gentleman from Maryland
j had risen, and although ihure could he no douht
■ but that he believed himself rightfully entitled lo
Ihe floor, ns speaking lo a new question, yet (said
■ Mr. Hiack) the gentleman may be mistaken—ifino
ecnily so, without doubt—bill not ihe lesa so on
1 that account, us he thought he had conclusively
shown by reference to the character of the present
discussion,
Mr Black said that he, like his honorable col
league (Mr. Colquitt,) begged leave lo exhibit lo the
Housethe cemnussion by virtue of which he siood
here. It sojliappeiis lhat my credentials of elec
tion, and my r ghts consequent upon lhat election,
are not disputed. So laras he was informed, no
man was prepared In dispute them; hut, if the rule
which hns been ol tempted to be enforced here is
ultimately established, lie did nut know how soon
he might he arrested in his representative capacity,
and compelled In go hack to Georgia, to gather up
the poll-hooks, to ascertain the competency ol the
presiding officers ol election, and the qualifications
of every man who had presented himself at the (mils
and participated in the election, before he would be
permitted to lake his seal.
The ostensible question now before the House is,
whether the gentleman Iroin Ohio (Mr. Duncan)
shall he allowed to proceed with the testimony in
behali of those gentlemen from New Jersey who
ate claiming their seas here in opposition to the
members elect from that Slate, who have in iheir
possession the commission of the Governor To
such a proposition he must answer in the negative
A grave and important question—one involving (he
rights ofthe Stales and the People of the Males in
ihe high and momentous privilege of the elective
Iranchiae—is now submitted. To whom is it sub
mitted ? To a mere assembly of citizens —to men
who, although they may he uliimaleiy entitled to
their seals upon this floor, have not as yet produced
even the prime facie evidence of their election !
Stale Ihe case us you may, turn it and twist it as
you will, ‘to this complexion it must come fll last."
Shall we (said Mr. U.) hear testimony,either on o ie
sidu or the other, before wo are constitution* By
qualified lo act on it ? Will yon hear the merits of
the case before you are in n condition lo decide up
on it ? ho and what are we ? (asked Mr 11.)
Admit, sir, lor the sake of argument, that we are
the IleprcsenlQlivi sos the People. To whom can
that fact,at this singe ol our existence, he known,
ssve'o those gentlemen alone who have their cre
dentials in their pockets; admit lhat we have no
other contest hero hut that lo the seals of the mem
bers from New Jersey. I put ti to vour wisdom,
sir, lo say whether we are yet organized in accord
ance with the Constitution and the law ? And
whether we can take cognizance of any mailer,
either in our judicial or legislative capacity, until
we are organized 7 Will you try a case ol such
high concern before you impannel and swaeryour
jury 7 Hy virtue of what authority and under what
sob tnn sanction do we upj ear here us judges in a
mailer ol such interest to the paities 7 liy virtue of
our commissions ; by virtue of ihe authority of the
sovereign Stales we represent ; and the sanction
under which we should act isio be found alone in
theoatli which, under the Constitution, we arc im
peratively required to lake. I,el us,(lien, wlin are
thus rich gated n.s iStalc Representatives, and by vir
tue of-""'tale authority, proceed to organize ourselves J
in order that wo may be constitutionally qualified 1
to hoar mid decide (his question. If we arc lo ar
rive at that point of our 1c isiative existence at
which our powers ns members of the General Gov
ernment begin, we must take the only practic'd
course, and that ir, the usual and ordinary imo
heretofore pursued by i lie House. I«t your clerk
call the roll of memheis, beginning, if he pleases,
with the Stale of Maine, ami going on in geographs
cal order until the whole roll is completed, ami then
lot the members thus called lake the oath of olHcs
prescribed hy the Constitution. Until we do thin,
we have no power to do any act in our representa
tive capacity
Mr. Chairman, to the “House of Representatives”
alone belongs ihe exclusive right, to adjudge ami
determine this question. That House is made by
the law pnrn/nount of the land “the judge of the
elections, returns and qualifications of its own
members.’ 1 Os what, then, is the House of Rep
resent atiyes composed 7 Os members chosen eve
ry year by the People ofthe several States; not
only so,sir, hut a majority of the members so cho
sen must he sworn into office before th> y can “do
business" as a body recognised hylhe Constitution
of ihe country. The only practical way in which
this organization can be effected is, ns I suggested
to t'»\l ruU <»f Inemhuiu, -uml to hw,. nr
them, or a majority of them, if no more present
themselves, into office upon I lie prima fade evi
dence alone of the commission issued by the States
which they may severally represent This is the
only way in which wo may hope to pul an end to
this most disgraceful stale of ihings. Upon ibis
primafacie evidence ol my election—my commis
sion under the great seal of the Stale of Georgia—
you permit me In take my seat; and when the gen
tlemen from New Jersey, who hold in their hands
precisely the similar evidence of their election,
present themselves lo lie sworn, reason, justice, the
Constitution, and the laws made in pursuance there
of, requires lhat you should extend lo them, also
the same privileges you accord lo me.
Wc have been here now seven days wasting the
time and money of the People, and.not yet arrived
at the only ninlerinl point—that of organization..
All the debate that has hitherto occurred was idle
and unprofitable- He, himself, was then speaking
by the mere courtesy of the House; every member
who had sunken had been listened to only hy ihei
same courtesy ; ami (said Mr. Rlack) unril we cam
organize, and place ourselves in a condition lo noli
definitely, all our debate w ill lie mere talk. In un
der that we may arrive at that point, permit mo ttu
address myself to the majorly—tlie numerical max
jorily—on this floor, li is said that one of ihe
great political parties that now divide ilieeouiilm
has that majority here; if that hr truth, the whoso
responsibility for the waste nf toe time and money
of ihe People will ultimately full upon them. The
minority here, as elsewhere, can do nothing ; the
majority —w Inch is said to be an Administration!
majority— are all powerful! If they refuse to acti
—to organize the House upon proper principles;,
and to dispose ol this question—they, and they
alone w ill he responsible to llw great body of the
constituency. Go on, therefore, 1 beseech you,,
gentlemen of the majority—relieve ns Ifom the ex
traordinary i osition in which we arc—terminate
lho scenes of disorder and confusion which bare
tier'll cnnslnntlv occurring here since we first as
sembled —and place us in such a suite ol conalinu
lioiml existence as will enable ns In decide upon (his
question thus prematurely thrown I afore ua.
It the tneiids of the Administration ,an thiis
command and direct the nclimi ol this House, ared
they are disposed lo he governed in their course by
motives «( policy, I put it lo (hem to s-iy whether
ilio odds will not ho tciirhilly against them if iliev
continue to stand out doggedly against the organi
zation of ibis House 7 Redact what may bathe
opinion entertained of you il you arbitrarily ex
clude these five New Jersey members from their
seats trout tear that if they are admitted you may
not I e able lo elect an Adm lustration Speaker. It
on ihe other hand the Whigs are admitted lo iheir
Beats in order lo term a House, and upon subse
quent investigation they are ousted, you may ilien
well claim the merit of having sacrificed y, mr p„.
liiicul predilections and {tarty interests lor the pur
pose ol removing oltsiiuciiviis which otherwise
would have clogged the wheels of Government,
mid threatened the exist erne of the union tisell.
And. it the W lug voles Poll New Jersey, thus ad
mitted, should tie made the instrument of placing
an Opposition Speaker in the (. hair, Ins tenure ol
office would rest solely on ills validity ol the voles
, lliateleeled him, and the House, il the W ings from
New lersey ms-ultimately rejected, would vacate
; the t han which had been filled By tit - instrumen
tality of spurious votes, and uisiamly proceed to a
..ew election Such a course would secure lo you,
not only the enviable consciousness ol having done
your duly to Ihe country, but will ensure your suc
cess in Hie election ol a Speaker upon the only
grounds on w hich any party might to succ eu—
upon ihe slrengih ol the legitimate and majority
members ul the House of Representatives
Mr. Rlack said he had os yet only spoken on the
preliminary question ; and as to what might be his
opinions and what his vole in regatd to tlie ulti
mate right of these claimants lo the seals from New
Jersey, when that question should come properly
before him, he was prepared to do what iaw ami
I list ice lequired. Alter ilia House should he organ
i ized, he was willing io open that case; he would
r lie willing lo hear the evidence on both sides, io
examine the facts as to who hud the majority of le
-1 gal votes, and then finally decide who are the right
ful Representative* of the Slate of New Jersey
•
Rut before w« can achieve “a eonxummr tioirW*
devoutly l-j he wished,” wo must form ourselves in
to a “House of Representatives.”*
In conclusion, (said Mr. 15 ) permit me to say, we
have heard much during lifts «ide mid desultory
debate of the rights of the People—the voice ol
the People—ihg potential voice of Ihe People—and
the great democracy ol the country, as contradis
tinguished Irom (lie regularly organized and consti
tutional authorities ol the State Govermme.nts
I know not lung of such a distinction. The People
of Georgia are democratic, republican, sovereign
but the potential voice, of the sovereign People of
Georgia is always heard through the regularly con
stituted organs ol the Gove.nraent winch the Peo
pie themselves have instituted. Any other expres
sion of that voice, except when the People arc in
theT original convention, would be but the ravings
of a rnoh, and the bowlings of anarchy.
He hoped that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Duncan) would see that, until llio House had or
ganized itself, and placed itself in a constitutional
attitude, he could not he permitted lo go into the
merits of the ease.

! A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS,
DR. W. EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth. —This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums he rubbed with it
When infants are at the age of four mouths, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should he used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
pores ana iieuXm K t\ lG gums . thereby preventing
convulsions, fevers, ike. Sola only nt Ur. tf/fo

York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
diseases of children.
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS ’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir —The
great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
tenthow essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked xvitq
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till wc procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred ; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health,
I give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, aiulwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.

TONIC PILLS. —The power of Evans’ Camomile
Pills are such, that the palpitating heart, the trem
ulous hand, the dizzy eye, and the fluttering mind,
vanish before their effects like noxious vapors be
fore the benign influence of the morning sun.—
They have lung been successfully used for the cure
of intesmitteuts, together with fevers of the irregu
lar nervous kind, accompanied with visceral ob
structions.
This tonic medicine is for nervous complaints,
ci oral debility, indigestion and its consequences,
or want of appetite, distension of the stomach, acid
ity, unpleasant taste In the mouth, rumbling noise
in the bowels, nervous symptoms, languor, when
the mind becomes irritable,desponding, thoughtful,
melancholy, and dejected. Ilypoehondriucism, con
sumption, dimness of sight, delirium, and all other
nervous affections, these pills will produce a safe
and permanent cure.
Evans' Camomile Pills were first introduced into
America in 1535.
EVANS ’ FAMILY APERIENT PILLS are
purely vegetable, composed with the strictest pre
cision of science and of art; they never produce
nausea, and arc warranted to cure the following
diseases which arise from impurities of the blood,
viz Apoplexy, Bilious Affections, Coughs, Colds,
Ulcerated Sore Throats, Scarlet Fever, Asthma, Cho
lera, Liver Complaints, Diseases of the Kidnies and
Bladder, Affections peculiar to Females, and all
those diseases of wl atsoever kind to which human
nature is subject, where the stomach is affected.
More conclusive proofs of the extraordinary effi
cacy of Dr. Wm. Evans' celebrated Camomile and
Aperient Anti-Hilo,us Pills, in alleviating afflicted
mankind.—Mr. Robert Cameron, 101 Bowery.-
Discase —Chronic Dysentery, or Bloody Flux-
Symptoms, unusual flatulency in the bowels, se

nusmus, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fre
quency of pulse, and a frequent discharge of a pe
culiar fuetid matter mixed with blood .great debility,
sense of burning heat, with an intolerable bcarinj
