THE MAX FOB THE PEOPLE.
We arc and ever have been oppos
ed to lumbering our columns with
long winded notices of quacks and
quack nostrums, but when we see in-
contestiblc facts of the scientific skill
and medical profiiciency of one in our
midst, we deem it a paramount duty
wldeh we owe to suffering humanity,
to sound his praises far and wide.—
Such a one is Dr. Baakce, of 74
Lexington street, Baltimore, and lan
guage itself is inadequate to find
woids to speak one half of what he
has accomplished ; the hopeless have
been cheered, the lingering invalid
who, for years Las pined under the
excruciating torments of his disease,

- Doctor been permanently cured,
while all the ills which afflict human
ity find in his treatment a powei
mightier than their own. In all dis
eases of the eye and ear, past or pi es

Why does Judge Douglas make
this odious discrimination? They
answer is too plain to admit of doubt.
The class which he is. willing to pro-
lect is a large voting population,
jealous of its ligfits and claims and
heretofore petted and pampered by
the Democracy—a class that often
decides important elections, and
whose aid is eminently essential to
Judge Douglas’ success. The other
class is confined to a section of the
Union whose vote is counted on for
the Democr itic Presidential nominee
as a matter of course—a section
which has always shown an accom?
mods ting disposition ‘o yield its
rights at the demand of tin “National
Democracy,’’and to submit to any
thing required to “save the Demo

We shall say more of Mr. Akin,
and his claims up#>n the people of

the cause of his election. Not a
Democratic paper in the State has
spoken disparagingly of him, for
they know him to be beyond the reach
of detraction. As little as they re

they will change both their tone and

It lias seldom been our good for

the originators of the imposture’, slight
undertakings swelled into magnifi
cent proportions by the aid of hired
flatterers, may sink to their proper
insignificance when the test of science
is applied, but the facts—startling and
strange though they may be—which
lhe Doctor presents—are not to be
crushed by envy or malice, or to be
kept from view by malicious repre
sentations, but standing upon tlieir
own merits—protected by over twen
ty years of experience—they shall
overcome ‘every obstacle—surmount
every difficulty, and in the end tri
umph at last over the monster preju
dice. Though some jof the medical
faculty—old fogies—still keep to the
knife and such like painful instru
ments—though they cry “not the
time,” “not the time for progress,"
yet in the Doctor’s estimation, “time
and times” are only formidable to the
weak and faint-hearted the strong
make* them their ministers and slaves,
and he has, therefore, by carrying bis
theory into practice won for himself
an imperishable name. To the weak
and weary invalid we say “go’’—to
those who suffer a thousand deaths in
the terrible tortures of Cancers, and
all kindred diseases, we say, “delay
no longer”—a physician is near to
heal you—a Samaritan is close by to
pour oil upon your wounds, and the
skill and scientific proficiency of a
true disciple of medicine are at your
command. We feel that we have ac
complished our duty—our task is done
—tho means of cure are shown to all
--the brazen serpent is raised— the
healer is nigh—is willing, is able—
and it rests but • with the victims of
disease themselves to obtain a perma
nent cure, and to shout aloud in the
fullness of their joy. “God bless

Protection or Two Kinds.
Now that Senator Douglas is ad
vancing so rapidly in favor with the
Democratic party in those-Southern
States that have already held their
elections for this year, it is well
enough to examine the distinct issues
which he makes and upon which he
Lopes to rally a successful party.
His two leading hobbies relate to
Protection—for one class of citizens
lie demands the fullest and amplest
protection everywhere by the Federal
Government; to the other he denies
all protection of property by Con
gress even on its own s -il! Ti e first
of these classes is the foreign-born
population, chiefly settled in our
Northern and North western States.
For these Senator Douglas demands
protection wherever they may go,
against all claims of the authorities
of those countries from which they
•migrated. lie -makes-haste-to take-
issue with Gen. Cass on this question,
and most emphatically announces
the doctrine that the rights of onr
naturalized citizens must be upheld
by this Government at any cost.
1 lie other class, to whom he would
refuse all protection of their peculiar
property even on our own soil, arc
the slaveholders of the South. If
they desire to take their property
wiih them to the Territories, says
Judge Douglas, they may bo forbid

WARllEX AKIN.
Having been absent from the city
for more than a week past, the nom
ination of this gentlemen as the lea
der of the opposition in the approach
ing gubernatorial election, has failed
to receive that special attention to
which it was entitled at the hands of
this journal. Wc avail ourselves of
the earliest moment after our retuin
to make this explanation and to sup
ply the omission.
Since our connection with the Press
no nomination has been annouced,
for any office, that met our more cor
dial approval and endorsement. It
was, in every respect, “fit to be made,”
•end, ir our humble judgment, the
only one that could have been made
in justice to the interests involved and
the emergency' that has placed them
in peril. It is a nomination worthy
of the great and patriotic party that
made it, and at which the pride of
the Empire State of South need not
be mortified or abashed. No better
man can be found as the champion
of honor and good name, and the re
storer of her dignity from its present
fallen estate. Intellectually and mor
ally, ho is all that a man should be
to entitle him to preside over the des
tinies of Georgia. From bumble
birth and a youth spent in tlie toils
and hardships of the mines for tlie
means of subsistence and mental cul
ture, lie has risen, by his unaided ex
ertions, to the first rank in his pro
fession, and to honor and usefulness
as a citizen. He is emphatically a
self-made man; and, what is better
still, instead of prostituting his means
and extensive personal influence to
schemes of party and selfish aggran
disement, they have been devoted to
tvorks of patriotism and private be
nevolence. We believe bo was nev
er before a candidate for office, and
lienee, though a leading man of his
section, his name is comparatively
unknown to the people of other por
tions of the State. This, however,
• nougli an embarrassment, is no dis
qualification or permanent obstacle;
known that, for reasons best known
to himself, he so construed tli*» law
as to quiet tlieir opposition to him—
an 1 that he could not do this without
a violation of the principles he had
pretended to hold—the people wil;
spnrn him from them as they would
any other base deceiver.
There are, in Georgia, thousands
of Democrats who voted for Gov.
Brown two years ago, who will not
vote for him now, but will vote f< r
Warren Akin. There are yet oth
er and more thousands, who, being
honest, and thoroughly disgusted with
she trickery and dt magoguism of Gov.
Brown iu attempting to impose upon
the people the belief that he was the
mly man who had made the State
load pay, or that could do it, will
ote for neither candidate. Those
Democrats, one part voting for Akin
nd another part remaining neutral,
rill make a very considerable change
1 the result. When it is remember-
il that Gov. Brown’s majority two
ears ago was less than eleven tliou-
and, the value to Akin of the posi-
jon of these two classes of Democrats
s apparent. Combined, they are
•nougli Jo insure the election of Akin
is Governor of Georgia. Undoubt
edly there have been some old Amer
icans misled by Gov. Brown’s ficti-
ious claims in reference to the State
Read. Many of these will be con
inced of tlieir error, but others will
lot. Making duo allowance for this
lefection, and even then the case is
so doubtful as to encourage hope.
But when it is considered that there
.re some thousands of old line Whigs
—such as could not go into the- ranks
>f the Know Nothing and American
parties—men who have never ceased
heir hatred of the men and party
whoso hated and persecuted their
gallant old Chief, Henry Clay—who
now. believe the crisis has arrived for
them to go to the polls; when, we
say, it is considered that these thou
sands of Old Dine Whigs will vote
e or Akin, it is, indeed, hope-inspiring.
»na renders our success almost" a dead
* ertainty.
All wc want now is energetic, per-

This transaction ought to sink him in
oblivion, in the estimation of every
honest man in the land. How often
do we hear the remark, by his Ilngo-
sition friends, that they “don’t ap
prove of his bank policy, but it will
take with the people—they will vote
for him, any how.’’ Now, the plain
English of this js, that the people
have so little sense as to bc humbug
ged by Brown’s low demagoguism,
and to elevate him to position and
place—though he is stinking and reek
ing with corruption, from head to foot.
We believe the people have more good
sense than to do any such tiling; and,
when Gov. Brown’s demagoguism, is
properly understood and exposed to
the gaze of honest men, tho very winds
will be burdened with the people’s

Verv Respectfully.
'E. N. CALHOUN.
Marietta, Aug. 53, 1859.
There being” much political excite
ment at the time, the canvass partook
of a political nature, which Col.
Brown contributed to keep alive as
tlie suvest wity of securing his elec
tion—the Democracy being largely
the ascendant in the District.
Dear Sir: 1 cheerfully reply to During this canvass Gov. Brown
your inquiries concerning the servi- wrote several articles in his oivn fa
ces of Col. Akin as Attorney for the
State Road.
1. When I took charge of the
Road, Col. Akin was its Attorney
in all cases in the Cherokee Circuit.
I do not know how long he had
served in that capacity. He con
tinued to represent the Road in the
old c.tses, and was employed in all
suits subsequently instituted, as long
as I was left at liberty to engage liis
services.
2. and 3. From my acquaintance
with Col. Akin, and from my know!
edge of the faithful and able manner
in which lie conducted the business, I
do • not hesitate to say, that I placed
more reliance upon him than any
other Attorney at tlie Bar. His
advocacy of the interests of tlie Road
was always zealous and untiring,
and, if it sometimes led him into col
lision with men of influence, he did
not the less perseveringly pursue the
line of duty.
4. I never suw Col. Akin’s ac
count against the Road for profess
ional services do not know its amount
nor the items—hut I believe that his
services were, incomparably more
valuable than those of Col. Wright
and of all the Attorniesof the Chero
kee Circuit combined, and if I liad
been untrammelled by instructions
from a superior authority, and had
not considerations foreign'to the wel
fare of the Road prevailed, it would
have had no other Attorney in Cher
okee, its success before tbe Courts
would have been greater, and the
amount saved in lawyer’s foes would
have been very considerable.
Very Respectfully,
Yfour obedient servant,-
