Wo have recently, at a large expense
nado arrangements for increasing the
amount of reading matter in the “ Week-
t Courier” and otherwise improving tlio
paper. Wo cannot say that we publish
[the “largost and best paper in Chero-
lcoe Ga.,”—truth forbids one and mod'
r the other—but we do promise to
nako tho “Weekly Courier” as interes-
t wo possibly can, and that it will
[contain more reading mat tor than any
apor in this section. There will be reg
ularly in the paper about twenty col
umns of reading matter, or once aud a
half the average of last year.
If.our friends feel that they can con-
icienciously recommend the Courier we
houldbeglad for them to do so.
A Slight Difference of Opinion.
Tho Southerner tfc Advertiser of Uio
19th inst., say*: “We bolievo Mr.

On tho other sido, Senator Clay of
Alabama, in a letter to the members of
the Legislature of his State Bays :
“Tho friends and foes of slavery agree
that tho expansion of its territorial
limits is its lire and their contraction its
donth. Nebraska, Kansu*, Washington,
Utah, New Mexico nnd tho Indian
country, will form ndozan large Statos.

The President proposes to pounco upon

“cordially indorsed” Helper’s Impend

sentiments in that book will be found
those appended to tho resolution offered
by tho gentleman from Missouri.—
Among the signors of that cordial in

from Ohio, the candidate of the Black
Republican party for Speaker.
In response to the gentleman from
Virginia, (Mr. Millson.J that candidate

A Picture*
A locality at the Five Points known
as Cow Bay it about to bo converted into
children’s play ground. Here is a
description of it from tho Now York
Tribune :
For many years wo have bein familiar
with this terrible place, and heard of
and witnessed deeds so dark and fear
ful that an accurate description of them
would be deemed incredible. ' The
floors and walls of almost evory house
nnd room have beon dyed with tho
blood of some poor murdered wretch,
bur from Ohio. There is the indorse
ment, stating iiis opinion of us, aud it is
not a very complimentary one. Wo are

not ask him explain. 1 would scorn
Ui do it. Wo understand how to protect
ourselves. We nave dono him no wrong.

ourselves.
dially npprovo tlio resolution of
the gentleman from Missouri. 1 am
anxious to vote for it. 1 ask no expla
nation ; it was due to us that it should
have been made if any could bo; none
satisfactory lias boon mad*. Then wo
stand thus: tho indorsement is here
tlio gentiemiu docs not explain ; we
take it as it is, and snv that no one who
indorses those sentiments is fit to bo
Speaker of this House. 1 am willing to
say it, and vote for it every day of tiiis
Congress, anil at tho end of this Con
gress. If the honorable gentleman in
advertently sighed that cordial indorse
ment lie should linvo boon glad of an
opportunity to say so, and to nave seized
the opportunity to disclaim the sent!
mentsof the book. I linvo alwayi
lerstood it as an evidence of true
hood to repairun injury unintentionally
ic to another's feelings. But, sir,
tjustibu* nil disputandum lot it bo
lerstood, however, that tlio lionora-
Ido gentleman never has used the words
nut into his mouth by the gentleman
from Tennessee: ho ha* nevor disclaim
ed tho opinions, sentiments, aims, and
objects of the llelpor Book.
There i* another thing tlmt should
not be forgotten. That man Helper,
some months prior to that “cordial in
dorsement,” w.is exposed by the honor
able Senator from North Carolina in the
Senate, and dtmouiiccd as a thief, aud
this was placed iijmiii the records of
Congress; and not only that, this same
Helper assaulted a member of this
House [Mr. Craigo, of North Carolina,
iu his seat about this same work ; nnd,
respectfully submit, tho honorable gen
tleman from Ohio was too carol
unmindful of piddle ovi nts w
indorsed this author's work without
knowing tho contents of the book.—
Sir, if ever there was a clear cate of
criminal negligence, this is the one, if it
woro a crime to indorse cordially that
Helper work.

When did they ever respond to those
agonizing shrieks for “help” made by

steeples? When did they over proclaim
a conflict between ordinary civilization,

charged that the Republican party
sought to overturn the Constitution;
and doclared that the election of a Re

grounds for the secession of the South.
He thought tho South should not

“William ,11. Sewnrd a Georgia
School-Master—The Original Adver
tisement.”
^Undor tho above head tho Albany Patriot
republishes from tho “Georgia Journal”
of March 1819, published at Milledge-
ville by John B.- Hines, the original ad
vertisement of .Senator Seward as a
school-master. He is spoken of by the
trustees as “lato of Union Collogo New
York from which institution ho comos
highly recomtuondod ns a young gentle
man of good moral character and distin
guished for his industry and literary acquire
ments.” The Patriot says:
There is ono foature in the .Senator’s
character when a vouth, that ho has
well preserved iu his advanced life.—
Whon ho came to Georgia, ho came un-
dor a practical assertion of his “higher
law” doctrine, llocame as a fugttivo
from justice, lie lmd rebollod against
parental authority, and had fled from
his futhors roof, that ho ahould bo under
no other restraint titan that of somo
high, or rather very low law of his own
making. Auothor similar feature is,
that his father demanded his fugitive
from the Georgia planter under whoso
roof ho had sought protection,; and he
refused lo deliver him up. Mr. Seward,
thus iu early life had a taste of tlio
practical working of tho fugitivo slave
law, and did'nt like it. He may havo
thought in opposing the execution of
that law, ho was following tho proeedent
set in his own ease by tlio noble-hearted
Georgian. We do not tiiink that he
lias ever publicly alluded to tho fact
that ho was once a citizen of u Southern
State.
Ho Rcems desirous to altogether ig-
noro that portion of his history. Wheth
er for weal or woe, wo desire to give it
all possible publicity. His is not the
only instance by hundreds, of persons
who havo partaken of Southern hospi
tality, and have then gone back North,
and passod tho ballance of their lives
iu slundoring Southerners. And moro
of sucli aro to be found among school
masters and mistresses, than any othor
class of persons seeking a homo and
employment at the South.
Loveliness.—What constitutes truo
loveliness/ Not tho polished brow, tho
gaudy dress, nor the snow ‘and parade
of fasldonnblo • life. A woman may
have all the outward murks of beauty,
ami yet not possess a lovoly tempera-
ment. It is the benovolont disposition,
th* kind acts and Christian deportment.
It is in the heart, tvharo mookness, ami
truth, affection, and humility are found
where we look for loveliness, nor do we
look in vain. Tho woman that
soothe t ho wrinkled brow, alleviate tho
anguish of tho mind, nnd pour the halm
of consolation in the wounded breast
possesses in an eminent degree,
loveliness of character. She is tho renl
companion of man, and does tho work
of an ungel. It is sucli a character that
blesses with warmth and sunshine, und

D’Isfacll tlfurf filtude* fcq tfto doetHne
of tho equality of tho races< In hi*
last work, the “Biography of Lord
George Bentlnck,” he says, spoaking of
the Jewish race:
Thoy are a living and most striking
evidence of tho falsity of that pernici
ous doctrino of modem times, the nat
ural equality of man. Tho political
equality of a particular race is a matter
ormunicipal arrangement, and depends
entirely on political consideration* and
circumstances; but the natural equali
ty of man now in vogue, and taking the
form of cosmopolitan fraternity, is a
principle which, woro it possible to aot
upon it, would dotoriorate tho grades
and destroy all the gonlus in the world.
What would bo thoconscquonco on the
Anglo-Saxon Republic, for example, if
its citizens wero to socode from their
sound principle of reserve, end mingle

The Negro Outrages in Canada West.
—By the Detroit Free I\ess of yesterday
morning, wo learn that at Chatham, for
ty miles from Detroit, a gang of ne
groes took possession of the sohol-houso
on last monday and rofused to allow the
toachers to enter.
The authorities were called upon but
dared not act. The negroes were head
ed by ono “Shodd” a negro of despor-
ate charactdr. Tho negroes demanded
not only that the schools should bo
thrown opon to them, but that they
should be allowed to participate in their
management, which, on account of their
numbers,!* equivalent to giving them
tho control.
A conference took place between the
negroes and the authorities, when* tlio
negroes were finally quieted by. the ai-
Hurunce that their claims should bo ta-
kon into consideration, nnd such ar
rangements made as could with propri
ety be brought about. A similar dis
turbance occurrod at Sandwich, three
miles below Detroit, on the same day.
Pickpockets.—On Saturday morning,
as a gen tleman was taking his sent in
tho cars for Augusta, ho detected a man
in the act of rifling his pockets, and,
on examination, found he had lost flve
hundred dollars. A policeman was
culled, who declined taking the thiof
in charge, unless the gentleman would
proceed to the Guard House to lodge
Iiis complaint. This ho could not do, as
tho cars were about starting, so tho
pickpocket was placed on board and
taken to Hamburg, whore we learn ho
was committed to trial.
Anothor pickpocket, supposed to be
an accomplice ot the former, was ar
rested on Saturday at Branclivillo.
During the past two weeks, several
ladies have had their (lockets rifled of
small sums on Kingstrect. The ner-
I ietrator, iu thoso cases, is supposed to
>o a “lady,” for whom tho police are on
tho alert.—Char. Mer.
Extraordinary Longevity—-There is
at present o man in the city of New
York, who, as ahoy, witnessed the com
mencement of the Worth Monument.
He is in full possession of his faculties.
His only wish is to soo it completed be
fore ho dies.
Postage on Music.—Wear© authoris
ed to state that tho proper mode of rat
ing music with postage is by tho piece,
without regard to the number of shoots
in a piece; one cent for each picco, not
exceeding tlireo ounces in weight.—
When a piece exceods throe ounces in
weight one cent should bo charged for
the first three ounces, and ono cent ad
ditional for each additional ounce or
fraction of an ounce. On the same
principle packs of playing cards
ted by the pack and not by the card. —
