years under the whig tariff. Have you not
had enough of their protection to your indus
try?
But wc need not go to the North for evi
dence that the whigs are devotedly attached
to their old tariff:
The Federal Union a few weeks since, made
the following remark:
Do they advocate the principles of the pro- '
tective tariff of ’42, and condemn those of the
revenue tariff of ’46: No, on this subject,
“mum is the word.” —Federal Union.
This called from the Augusta Chronicle the
'explicit declaration.
Mum is not the word. They do advocate j
the dineriminations of the tariff of 1842 infa
rct of American industry, and abominate those
t)f 1846 in favor oj the liritish. Chroniclers
’ Sentinel , 2 d inst.
But this is not alone a mere abstract expres
sion of preference. In the Chronicle of last j
Wednesday, 22d inst., the present tariff is
thus designated. It is an appeal to the whigs, 1
and the following sentence occurs :
You (whigs) arc called traitors and murder
ers, because you condemn the hateful origin of
the Mexican war. You were called the Ur it- i
ish Part)/, till, SINCE THE PASSAGE OF 1
THE BRITISH TARIFF OF 1846, your op- j
ponents from very shame have felt constrain |
t?d to discontinue the charge.
As to the first sentence, we reply that it
was a whig paper, one of the Chronicle s
AVilmot Proviso allies, that called General i
Zachary Taylor “thb most adroit skull- j
BREAKER, HOUSE BURNER, AND WOMEN AND
CHILDREN MURDERER OF THE AOE.”
As to this tariff being a British tariff, look
. . _
over our land, fellow-citizens, and say wheth- j
er it is not a blessing to the American peo
ple. British gold to the amount of twenty
five millions have flowed into this country
during its operation, and there has been no
return tide of gold back to Europe. Besides
which, the trade has been enormous, and most I
beneficial to us. Every Southern man can
flee and feel bis own share of the general pros- j
ncrity. The whole country. North, South, !
East and West, never was so prosperous.— ;
The credit of the Government never was high
er. The power and glory of this Republic
never greater.
Yet, fellow-citizens, you are called upon to :
overthrow this prosperity, by repealing one’of i
its prominent causes.
The Chronicle appeals in this same editorial,
‘to the whigs to repudiate this beneficent reve- '
nue tariff. This is its language.
You will give yourselves to indefatigable
exertions to maintain the faith and credit and
honor of vour State —YOU WILL STAND
BY DOMESTIC INDUSTRY, AND KEPU
DIATE A TARIFF LAW THAT DISCRIM- ;
IN AXES MOKE IN FAVOR OF FOREIGN j
THAN HOME LABOR —you will rebuke an ;
Administration that has trampled the Federal
Constitution under its feet—that has plunged
the country into a sad and useless war, which
lias breathed its deadly breath upon the Na
tional Treasury, the lives of your countrymen,
-and the happiness of their homes.
To repudiate this tariff the Whigs desire to i
elect two United States Senators at the next |
legislature. The Hon. John M. Berrien is to
be one of them. Will you consent to this, |
people of Georgia. Will you, by your votes,
contribute to this disastrous result: We can
not believe it. On this tariff question Geor
gia has hitherto stood firmly with the South.
She has stood firmly by the Agricultural in
terests of the country. Those interests were
her interests when she has before spoken. They i
are her interests still. Let her speak through
the ballot-box, and proclaim that she comes to j
the rescue against the assaults of the plunder
ing hordes of manufacturing monopolists.

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
Has the great Author of Nature provided us :
with no remedy for Consumption—and‘the diseases 1
leading thereto which are so fearfully common in
our country? Has He left us to find relief from ■
that fatal scourge by ransacking other lands? No,
it is not so. The best—Nature’s own remedy, is J
ready at our hand. The Wild Cherry and the
Pine furnish us with a cure, where a cure is possi
ble. Hr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, formed j
by chemical extracts from Wild Cherry bark and
tar, relieves all cases of consumption, and effectu
ally cures it where it has not progressed so far as
to be beyond cure —subdues the most inveterate
cases of the Asthma, even of 30 and 40 years stand
ing stops raising of blood, after other remedies
fail and removes every kind of affection of the
Lungs and Liver which our climate induces. The
remarkable efficacy of this wonderful medicine, in
many diseases hitherto deemed incurable, has ex
cited among physicians great curiosity as to the
precise nature of its ingredients. Let purchasers
beware of imitations and counterfeits.
None genuine unless signed I. BUTTS on the

Sand’s Sarsaparilla.
The curative influence of Sarsaparilla in cases !
of acute and chronic rheumatism, has only recently j
been observed and acknowledged. It was long j
thought that preparations of the root could only he i
used successfully in scrofula and disease of that I
class; but the beneficial effects which have resulted j
from administering Sands’ Sarsaparilla in the most i
inveterate cases of rheumatism, have completely
exploded thai idea. Colchicum was for a long time
considered a specific; but it has been demonstrated
that this dangerous medicine in many instances
causes the metastasis or translation of the complaint
to the heart. This fatal result it is the direct ten
dency of Sands’ Sarsaparilla to prevent, by purify
ing the blood, through which alone disease can he
conveyed to the seat of life, from all its imparity.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlet
which may be obtained of agents, gratis.

DEATHS.
Died, in this city, on Sunday night, after a short
illness, Major James Alexander, formerly of Co
lumbia county, but for several years past a much
respected citizen ot Augusta, aged 50 years.
, Died, on the 9th inst., at Baisdon’s Bluff, Mc-
Intosh, Co., Mrs. Camilla , troup consort of
Dr. James Troup, in the 53d year of her age, after
an illness of three days.
This highly gifted lady would haf T e adorned any
sphere in which it might have been her destiny to
move. 4j*he preferred the seclusion of domestic
i life, and gave her genius and virtues to her family
—now heart-stricken and sorrowing in the home,
i —hut yesterday sohappv, to day so desolate. Who
! that had known the brilliancy of that fine intellect,
would not have seen fulfilled—the body returning
to its dust—the Etherial Spirit ascending to its
Heaven of Heavens—the mortal putting on im
mortality—as it is written.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 18.— Cotton. —Arrived
since the 10th instant 7182 bales. Cleared in the
same time 3793 bales—making an addition to stock
of 3390 hales, and leaving on hand inclusive of all
on -shipboard not cleared on the 17th instant, a stock
of 18,544 bales.
Our last weekly report left the cotton market in
an extremely dull and drooping state, as the few
buyers that had been operating to a limited extent
I had-retired from the market to await the private
advices per Caledonia, while at the same time
fresh arrivals were c asing an accumulation of stock
in the bonds of factors. On Sunday the Caledo
nia's letters ami commercial circulars came through.
These rather discouraging advices, together with
some difficulty in effecting freight engagements, in
negotiating exchange- and other impediments, have
had an unfavorable influence upon our, market,'as
j regards prices, enabling the few htiyefs who are
disposed to operate to obtain some advantage from
day to day. The sales of the week embrace about
5500 bales, nearly the whole of which is new crop,
; taken for France and England; and the closing pri
ces, as nearly as they ran be arrived at in a very
unsettled and irregular market, exhibit a de
! dine of A a |c. from our quotations of last week.
Our figures are altered exceedingly, and now ap
ply only to new crop, there being none other of
consequence on the market. The receipts of new
crop this week have been 7183 bales; making to
| this date a total of 12,236 bales, against 2389 bales
at same period last year, and 38,600 bales the year
previous.
In regard to the growing crop we have the sa
tisfaction of stating, the weather in this region du
ing the past week has been of highly favorable
character for the maturing and gathering of the
staple. It may be considered heyoud question
that the caterpillars, or army worm, are in the
fields; but at our latest advices from the interior
they had not yet become sufficiently numerous#
to effect much, if any damage; and hopes are
entertained that their appearance has been too
I late to effect any very important injury. We
however, continue to hear considerable complaint
j of the ravages of the boll worm, in several sections
of Mississippi and Alabama.
