Mail from New Yoik, your office had been filled
with Pamphlet* and Tract* upon Slavery ; «I»t
the public mind was highly excited upon the sob
jeer, that you doubted the safely of the Mail it
self out of your possession; that you had deter
mined, as the wisest course, to detain these pa
pers, and you now ask instructions from the De
partment.
Upon a cartful examination of the law, I am
Satisfied that the Post Master General has no legal
authority to exclude newspapers from the mail,
or prohibit their carriage or delivery, on account
of their character or tendency, real or supposed.
Probably it was not thought safe to confer on the
Head of an Executive Department, a power over
the Press, which might be perverted and abused.
But I am not prepared to direct you to forward
or deliver the papers of which you speak. The
Post Office Department was created to serve the
the people of each and all of the United States,
and not to be used as the instrument of their de
struction, None of the papers detained have
been forwarded to me; and I cannot judge for
myself of their character and tendency: but you 1
inform me, that they arc, in character, “ the most
inflammatory and incendiary—and insurrections- 1
ry in the highest degree.”
Bv no act. or direction of mine, official or pri- 1
s' ~ m , (
vate, cculd Ibe induced to aid, knowingly, in giv- 1
ing circulation to papers of this discription, di- 1
rectly or indirectly. We owe an obligation to 1
the laws, hut n higher one to the communities in 1
which we live, and if the former be perverted to 1
destroy the latter, it is patriotism to disregard 1
them. Entertaining these views, I cannot sane- 1
tion, and will not condemn, the step you have '
taken. 1
Your justification must be looked for in the 1
, character of the pajiera retained, and the circum
stances by which you are surrounded.
Respectfully, your obedient servant, j

CORRECTION. ‘
The Courier of yesterday accuses the gentle- f
man who has charge of the Sentinel, with ‘‘inditing s
paragraphs for both Sentinel and Chronicle,” and 1
with having “ recently, in the Chronicle, charged °
Abolition on it.” It may possibly believe this—how t
it should do so we cannot conceive—but, be that v
as it may, it is not true. That gentleman has had J
no connexion with the “ paragraphs ” “in the (
Chronicle,” directly or indirectly, nor has any t
charge of actual Abolition, been made against It a
in the Chronicle. In the Chronicle of the sth J
inst. in reply to its infamous charge of Abolition
on the Nullifiers, a few facts were mentioned, (
Shewing with what grace such a charge came r
from such a source, cither as to the paper or its 1
party, aud one of them, to which we presume it (
now alludes, recalled to memory its zealous efforts, c
in connection with its party, to abolish the Fcdc- t
ral basis in this State—a basis founded on slavery, s
and slave property, and the abolishment of which,
by n Southern State, would have been a more
fearful blow to Southern slavery, than all the 0
movements of the Abolitionists. Yet we do not 1
charge the Courier, or its coadjutors on that 1
occasion, with being actual abolitionists, on that
account. No; all that wo infer, or would have
inferred from it, is simply this, that it and its 5
parly arc altogether too loose in their conduct and a
. - t
principles, and too reckless of consequences, *
whether in reference to slavery or -ought else, in
the promotion of their party views; and surely
this is sufficiently manifest, not only in that move
ment, but in its late effort to make the protection
of our Southern interests a party question,' and t
thereby divide the South against itself, which c
would of course render it an easy prey to the 1
Abolitionists.—Who -wrote that article, is a mat- “
ter of no consequence to the Courier, since we, n
alone, are responsible for it; but a sense of justice s
to the gentleman on whom it has been charged, n
and who has been so grossly and unjustly assail
cd for it, binds us to say, that it was not written p
by him, or with his privity or consent. tl
Wo shall probably have something to say in
reply to the Courier’s wretched defence of its t
effort to abolish the Federal basis, hereafter. n

TOO. THK AUGUSTA CHRONICLE. I
e
A crisis is at hand—we know not how soon it
may come upon us. A volcano, beneath our feet, a
is even now laboring with premonitory convul- F
sions, portending deep, interminable destruction J 1
to the unwary and the unprepared. The chequer- p
ed, piebald parly of amalgamationists (I put them li
first for obvious reasons,) abolitionists, federalists, j*
and omne id genus, are buckling on their brazen t
armour, and adjusting their arms, for their unnalu- 9
ral, and possibly their bloody crusade against o
southern interests, southern principles, and, great
God! may it not eventually bo, against southern f
women and children! Already have we heard t
the flourish of trumpets, and all the pomp and o
circumstance prelusive to their first grand attack 1
upon our most sacred rights, our very household
gods. Even now do their boastful declarations t
ring ominously in our ears, proclaiming, in lan- t
guage not to be misunderstood, that they will ®
make every sacrifice, incur every hazard, and
(what greater proof of their sincerity I) lay aside ,
even their private snarlings for lucre, in jointly t
exerting themselves to raise a fit altar to the blood- f
thirsty god of their idolatry, the ideal genius of £
universal emancipation. Already, as if to be
more palpably opposed to us, have they thrown !
■to the brsexo tho table banner of their party, *
and, marching under its waving folds, proudly go (
lorth destroying and to destroy. i
With these things before us, shall wo madly 1
close our eyes against the light that compels us, j
almost against onr inclinations, to behold in their ,
true colours, the infernal machinations of our ‘
enemies 1 Shall we dare, still to call ourselves j
men, and yet meanly shrink from the performance ,
of the duties appertaining to the name! Shall 1
we not rather make use of the means yet within
our reach, to avert, as long as possible, the dan
gers now threatening to plunge us into one undis
tinguishable ruin. Southerners, of every grade,
and of every party! shall we bo so infatuated
as to expose ourselves to the merited execration
and scorn of mankind, by continuing blind to
conviction, until it is forced upon us, amid the
crackling of our flaming dwellings, the destruc
tion of all the elements constituting our social
system, the wreck of our long cherished hopes, in
the justice and moderation of our northern friends,
and the crash of our darling institutions, scattered
in one wide-spread ruin 1 By heavens, “I’d rather
be a dog, and bay the moon, than such a Roman.”
If the exertions new making by short-sighted or
worthless Southrons, to make this a political ques
tion, prove successful, and by this means the at
tention of the people he directed from the true is
sue, we are lost. The accepted time will have
passed away: it will be too late for action. Let
us up, then, and be doing, while there arc still
_ reasonable expectations of success. If our, cnc
d mies arc strong, we have (he good cause. “ Our
t country yet remains.” Let us endeavor to pre
r. serve it. Henceforth, let us resolve to send only
;- such men to the public cooncils, as will watch over
- our peculiar rights with the eyes of an Argus—
- men, who, believing their safety identical with,
• and inseparable from, ours, will prove themselves
honest and gallant soldiers at the post of danger
i —who arc 100 upright for corruption, and too
1 brave to retreat before the approach of an enemy
. —who, unconquerable to the last, will lie down
in the breach, sooner than, returning, be found
with a single wound in the back —who are not
only ready to battle in self-defence, but will care
fully apprize you of coining danger, and in the
moment of peril, will be fonnd fighting valiantly
by your side. Fellow-citizens, such a man is
William C. Daniell, of Chatham! I know him.
I speak not from raport—generous, honorable,
high-minded, and talented, he will exceed, rather |
than fall short of your moat sanguine expects- ,
tions; commanding respect by his abilities, he
will reflect honor on his State in the public coun- *
cils, and industriously, faithfully promote the best 1
interests of his constituents. Arc we not in pc- i
culiar want of such men in the present cmer- i
gcncy I Should we allow party piques to inter- *
sere with the well-being, the safety of the whole '
South I Ought we not to lay aside (if it be but e
temporarily) our private predilections, and unite 1
in securing the services of an individual, in every F
sense of the word, pre-eminently fitted for such i
times as the present 1 I sincerely hope we shall r
do it. I know not that the gentleman referred to a
will serve, even if elected, but my high opinion 1
of his patriotism compels me to believe that, if
necessary, he would cheerfully respond to the '
calls of h : s country. I'

The proceedings in Charleston, upon the sub
ject, at present most exciting at the South, will be f
found in another column. The unanimity of all I'
parties there, upon this delicate topic, is worthy
of special attention. While ALL unite, in Car- F
olina, it is mortifying to see, in Georgia, a dispo
sition to bring this question to bear upon the party .
squabbles of the day. It is one, on which there (
ought to be, and must be, no division among us: v
and whatever political party attempts to make it >j
a hobby-horse, for political effect, ought to bo pul
down, at once, by an indignant community. If j
we would avoid unnecessary and ruinous irrita- ,
tion; if we would make the North to feel, that n
this is not a text foe their handling; if wo wish j.
their enlightened men to unite, in putting down t ]
the miserable club of fanatics among them, who Q
are striving to scatter poison through our borders;
let us be united, among ourselves, and discard
this pitiful recrimination. (
If the whole South could show a front, like a
Charleston, moderate, but firm, —resolved to v
maintain their rights, but not starting at shadows; a
the North would be convinced that they must act; o
and would wo believe, crush this reptile gang, in f
their infancy.—But common sense and universal s
experience add the testimony to that of inspiration,
that “a house, divided against itself, cannot .
stand.”—State nights Sentinel of yesterday, j

THE SAVANNAH GEORGIAN. f
In the Georgian of Saturday morning, we no- 1
ticcd the unmanly and ungenerous attempt to ex
cite the people against the State Rights Party, by
the propagation of a most unblushing falsehood
and vile calumny, Pcoplo of Chatman ! can you
read that article without an honest burst of indig
nation against the man who, for political purpo- .
ses, would resort to so foul and unjustifiable
means? What have the State Rights’ people
done to have authorized or provoked this base at
tack ? They arc represented as the abettors of f
the Abolitionist in procuring the transmission of (
the incendiary pamphlets, through the U. S. mail,
which were recently seized and destroyed in Char
leston—They arc further charged with doing this,
to effect the dissolution of this Union. This grave )
accusation is ventured in a community deeply and ,
vitally interested in the question affected by those |
pamphlets. And upon what foundation is it has- .
ed ? Simply because some of the presses holding (
politics of the State Rights Party, have dared to <
allude to this subject—have presented to the peo- ,
pie what is transacting in relation to it—have ad
vised them of the movements of the people in o
ther Southern States, and admonished them of
the approach of danger and 'he necessity of vigi- ,
lance and caution. For this very proper and ,
faithful discharge of their duties as public Editors, ,
the whole party of citizens holding the same poli- t
tical views and sentiments, are denounced in these
shameless and wantonly abusive terms. People r
of Chatham! look to this matter—contemplate the i
number of organized and powerful associations ,
which have been formed and are increasing, to ac
complish the object at which the circulation of t
these pamphlets aimed. Look to the thousands (
of dollais which have been upon a moment, con- ,
tributed to advance it. Look to the appeal made s
to the people across the water to aid, by their mor- c
al and pecuniary influence in this work. Look j
to the course which the wisdom and precaution of 4
the people of South Carolina, North-Carolina,
and Virginia, have dictated by their calls for pub- j
lie meetings and the adoption of measures. Look t
to the names of those most active in arresting .
these incendiary papers in Charleston, commit- ;
ting them to the flames, and devising measures to t
prevent their approach in future. Look, then, to s
the men of all parties, having identity of interest
on this subject, and united by a common sense of
danger and necessity, combining their councils
and their measures for the common good. Look r
at the recent, tearful and alarming events in Mis- ,
sissippi; and say, people of Chatham, whether you a
can hold guiltless the man, who, to accomplish s
some little political advantage, will sport with this
question for the purposes of exciting bitter and |
malignant feelings and divisions, when all should 9
be united in calmly and temperately devising and (
enforcing such salutary measures as will be best
calculated to discountenance and suppress in its <
bud, what if suffered to increase and grow, too t
surely but indicates the most fearful consequences
to the happiness of our people and the stability of
our Union. Every virtuous and honest man in i
the community ought to stamp this article with
the seal of his indignation and disgust; for no j
honest and virtuous man believes these foul char
ges true, or can contemplate the piece in any o
ther light than as a political stratagem to deceive
the people and excite their prejudices against a
portion of their brethren and fellow citizens a- ;
round them. People of Chatham, wo are far
from desiring to promote an undue and unneces
sary excitement upon this subject; but you sure- i
ly can discern and distinguish the faithful senti- i
nel at his post. Let us not slumber in false se- I
curity, nor be lulled into incautious repose, when
our sister States of the South are setting us an ,
example of vigilant precaution. Let us not be
frightened from pursuing the same proper course,
by any apprehensions growing out of the malicious
and unfounded suggestions of the article referred to.
Shocking Disaster. —The Cincinnati Gazette
mentions, that the Steam Boat Rob Roy, on her
way up from New Orleans, on the 19th ult. about
fifteen miles from New Madrid, struck a snag,
which caused her to twist in such a manner as to
break one of her branch pipes, and scalded ten to
twelve persons, of whom four had died, and two
more are not expected to recover; at the same time
1 a number of persons leaped overboard, of whom
’ three were drowned.

Incendiary Publications. —A few of these in
famous papers published under the direction of
the American Anti-Slavery Society have found
their way through the Post officc to our town.
We do not learn to whom they were directed ; one
of them which was placed in our hands, has tio
direction upon it, and presume the others also
came in an envelope, directed only to this place.
We have reflected on the course we suggested
last week in regard to this matter, and feel satis
fied that our laws can be made to reach those da
ring invaders of our domestic peace. We would
reiterate the suggestion with more precision. It
is probable that some of these papers, maybe sent
to a town where the Court is in session. In such
case, let them bo laid before the Grand Jury, and
an indictment found against the printer, publisher
and editor; let the proper process be issued, and
the Governor be required to demand the offenders
from the authority of the State within whose li
mits they evade the operation ofour criminaljustice.
We believe by this method, these officious intcr
mcdlcrs in the affairs of others, may lie brought to
answer for their flagitious intentions.— Md/edgc •

“ Post Office, Old Point Comfort.

notice be given to the citizens of Old Point Com
fort, of the expected vacancy in that post office,
that they may have a voice in recommending a
person for employment.”
On this a Philadelphian remarks,
“ Hero, then, was a sample of honest deference
to public opinion, which was as new as it was in
tended to be grateful and popular. In accordance
with this official notice, a public meeting was held.
Three citizens were nominated and voted for, viz:
—Messrs. Williamson, Hix, and Crems. Wil
liamson received just two-thirds of the votes pol
led ; and Hix the other third—Crems did not get
a single vote. The reader is prepared now to
hear, of course, that Williamson or Hix received
the appointment— not so friend—it was conferred
on Mr. Crems ! ”

lie ware of Deception II!
ATTEMPTS have recently been made by a
house in the city of New York, to practice
one of the most unblushing impositions ever con
ceived by the most designing.
It is known that “ Rowand’s Tonic Mixture,”
after an extensive trial of its merits throughout
the country, has proved its usefulness to such uni
versal satisfaction, us a thorough and radical cure
for Fever and Ague, us to have become identified
with the necessities of a great portion cf the inha
bitants of the United States.
The unbounded popularity, therefore, that this
medicine has secured to itself, has excited tba cu
pidity of certain nostrum venders of notoriety ,wlio
have dared to mix up a trash, hoping to palm it off
upon the ignorant and unwary, as the genuine
“Rowand’s Tonic Mixture.” For this purpose
they have substituted a fictitious name, in sound
and appearance very similar to tho true “ Row
and’s Tonic Mixture.” Tho border ol the enve
lope has been very closely imitated, and ono half
of its reading matter purloined, whereby tho copy
right of tho author has boon infringed; and have
without authority and fraudulently made use of
the names and certificates of highly respectable
individuals, who have testified to the value and
excellence of the true “Rowand’g Tonic Mix
ture,” attaching the same to the base and spurious
imitation. This trick cannot succeed amongst
the careful and intelligent part of tho community
—hut is calculated to deceive to a dangerous ex
tent, the ignorant and uneautious. Legal pro
ceedings, however, will be immediately instituted
to punish the fraud, and at the same time an ap
peal is earnestly made to all who may have an
opportunity to expose the imposture, to extend
thoir influence in order to protect distress and
suffering from such inhuman designs.

for Augusta and its vicinity.
