his political heresies, that, if Carried
<m(, will i»u ruinous to tho South, ho is a
revolutionist and by his opposition to
tho Drod Scott docision, uml his ed'ort*
to annul it, ho is striking at tho very
vitals of our general government ami
hi* success will bo tho death knell of
freedom nnd the inauguration of anur-
chy nnd confusion.
The great and good men,who laid tho
foundation of out* glorious system of
free government, wisely provided such
motes and hounds to tho direct expres
sion of the (Kipulnr will, ns, in their
good judgment, would prevent nny
popular caprice or sudden olmlitlon of
public opinion from subverting the
government or disturbing tho well
poised parts of tho system.
The more effectually for carrying out
their plan tliqy made three distinct
brunches' to tlni system cl' (Jojtern-
ment adopted—tho Legislative, the .In
dicia! and tho Executive—and provided
for their extublishmentnnd continunnro
in such a way ns to make them ns indo
pondont ip* possible of each other.—
Congress was constituted tho Legisla
tive branch of tho government, and
this was to ho composed of direct rep.
resent a live* elected by the people every
two years, nnd tho Senate elected by
the State Legislatures every six years, as
n oo-ordinulo Lratich. Tho Executive
Department was placed in tho hands of
a President to bo el clod, like neither j
branch of Congress, hut by electors
eho-cu for that purpose; and it should
he borno in mind that the idea that the
President-should he nominated by the
people or by their direct delegates ms-
somblod lur that purpose, never occur
red until after over half a century from
tho inauguration of our government—
and under tho original idea tho people
would not, necessarily, know who were
candidates for the Presidency hut would
discharge their duty if they chose good
men and true patriots for their Electors.
The Judicial department was vested in
a Supreme Court, tho Judges of which
were to ho appointed by the President nnd
they were to hold their ofllce during
d euiluary hfo or good behavior, thus putting

thousands or true Democrats in Geor

apprehension of a Black Republican

Georgia to endorse Douglas’ squatter

• Citlirornlii Beer.
J/»-. I'A/itor: Seeing an article going
tho rounds of tho papers in regard to
tlm character of thcCnlifornin Beer, ns
sometimes railed, und believing a
misapprehension is prevalent in regard
to it, I send you the following facts.
The material that produces tho fer
mentation in the sweetuned water, that
is applied to it, is the same a* pure, or
dinary yeast. Under tho mieroseopo it
appears exactly like yoast. The cells
nro identical, in appearance, to yea*t
cells nnd hirnuged in series like thorn.
By analysis they yield the sumo pro-
duels, they Act exactly like ordinary
good yeast. Yeast, as' is well known,
generates yeast when tho nitrogonized
materials are present for Its production.
Tho California yeast does the same. If
water sweetened with puro crystals of
sugar bo alone applied to the* yeast It
will not only cease to grow, but dimin
ish and disappear.
The nitvogcilisted ingredients in tho
molasses, that eame from the juieo of
tho sugar cane, afford the material for
its contimu-d increase, and ordinary
yeast will do the same, it is common
yeast, neither more nor less. Wo nro
told that person* have been killed by
the use of this yeast in bread and beer,
nnd the “yeast has been found in the
viscera by post mortem examination.”
This may he possible, but i* exceedingly
improbable. Yeast is a changing sub
stance, nnd it is the change, that give*
it its power to convert sugar into alco
hol and Carbonic acid, which i* fermen
tation or beer making, or bread raising.
In tho bread tho heat destroys the
yeast. In the boor the yeast is in tho
bottom and constitutes no part of
the beer itself, ami should not bo
drank.
Wo have heard of several who have
been very much pleased with the use of
the California yeast, ns it is called, hut
from tho articles in tho papers alluded
to, have thrown it aside. We think
there is no good cause for such a course.
If persons have taken tho yeast into
tern,ami have been injured by it,
there should he no wonder, as common
yeast, we do not imagine, would he a
healthy article of diet, but there is no
rail for *uch a course, in employing it in
any of its useful applications. Yeast
ceil* taken into a healthy stomach
would undergo immediate cnnngq; and
furthermore, their action ns yeast cells
would produco no fatal results or nny
chemical effects they are known to
produco. Facts me wanted to prove
the injurious action of this material.

\ Southern gentleman—a fYequont
visitor to Nashvillo—returning South
from Cincinnati, arrived in this city on
hist Saturday evening nnd stopped at

it with a single-hearted fervor which

of “orthdoxy to whioh all must subnii-

and directness is tyranny. “ To cbmpro-
misouny opinions or measures, in order
to secure a union of action, upon ono

is preparing the way to demoralize tho
puopleand ruin the republic. To de
clare any principles, und require adhe

make the President elect tho candid
ate and representative of a party ; and
this is making a tool and not an Execu
tive, and this is also a forerunner of
public decay. With principles and
without principles, Conventions are the
