The Meeting on Saturday.
We hope all the people of Clark 3 comity
the real people—those who are interest*
id iu a proper solution of tho issues now
fore the country—will attend tho pro-
.1*1 meeting on Saturday, anil give an
lOiiest and earnest expression of their views.
Aw.il, fair, honest public meeting—if
sell a tiling was ever known—is something
oI# respected; but a miserable,little, con-
U|itihlo packed concern, where every
king, from the appointment of officers to
iif final resolution of adjournment sine
fit,Imsdwn prepared,ready “cut and dry”
vnvo or three individuals, always did
rstialc in our nostrils.”
Let us then have an honest expression
cf public sentiment. Let every man how
ever humble, he respectfully heard.
We wish to appeal to tho “sober second
thought” of the people, -Oho, wo know, are
opposed to precipitate, hasty, rash and in-
ewsideratG action. Let ns all act free from
excitement, anti take such position as woean
tamtam against a world in arms. This
cannot he done by “precipitating” things!
^hove all, let us all keep cool, andrcmcm-
ber the mot to emblazoned on the proud es
cutcheon of our State, “ Wisdom, Justice
uni Moderation!”
ltrtallatory Legislation.
Gov, brown ims laid befove the Legisla
tare a special message in reference to our
Federal relations, which wo are nnable to
publish this week. It is devoted chiefly
tea recommendation of retaliatory legisla
tion and a discussion of tho right of seces-
Aller stating the grievances the South
lias suffered in the shape of legislation by
- nic nine of tho free States for the purpose
of obstructing tho execution of the fugitive
■lave law—nullifying an act of Congress
rod trampling under foot a plain provision
"f the Constitution—the Governor recoin-
Bunds the enactment of- laws confiscating
f| tch propei ty of the recusant States or
ilu-ir citizens as may be found in the limits
1,1 Georgia,for the purpose of compensating
*'Br citizens lor negroes who have been
! "-ylen from them by citizens of tho oftend-
States. In addition to this, lie recom
mends taxing all articles manufactured iu
the Stnh s named or imported through
’■mm, and offered for sale in Georgia.
It is notour province to pass, upon the
tmisiitutinimlity of such laws; bat, assnm
mg that'lhoy are constitutibnol, it strikes
,!H that their enactment would do morn to

elrec States. His majorities
nt free States, will, it is be
lieved, rango from 15,000 to 70,000 in
each State!
The long dreaded crisis is upon us! All
former excitements have boeu as nothing
compared with the present Public indig
nation is deep-felt and universal through
out the Southern States. Never before
was such florae oxcitement known—an ex
citement which threatens to set aside all
the restraints of law and precipitate the
country' into tho horrors of cival war.
In this excited state of public feeling, it
is the duty of every patriot to act with
prudence. Let “ wisdom, justice, modera
tion,” be his motto. Let us do nothing
rashly. While we would not by any means
counsel tame submission, at the same time
we should avoid hasty wild inconsiderate
action. Whatever we do, should be done
coolly, soberly, dispassionately. Let us
calmly' count tho cost—dispassionately
determine upon Our course of aetiou, and
whatever that course be, let as manfully
adhere to it. Wo have had already too
much “ blaster and back out"—a conrso of
policy which has largely contributed to
the existing state of affairs.
Above all things, ice need unanimity among
our oicn people. How is this to be accom
plished 1' Let the Legislature immediate
ly call a Convention, to be composed of
delegates fresh from the people. Let the
people instruct these delegates through
the ballot-box, and we will thus learn the
wishes of the people. The other States of the
South will hold similar Conventions, and
if there shall appear to be general unani
mity of sentiment, a Convention of dele
gates from all the Southern States, equal
in number to our Congressional represen
tation, may be called at some central point,
to determine the manner and measure of
redress demanded—Of in other words, the
conrso which patriotism and honor require
us to pursue. With such an authorative
expression of public sentiment, no one
would find fault; and whatever policy
should be recommended, would meet with
the hearty co-operation of tho whole peo
ple, who would feel honorably bound to
espeetthe decision of their own delegates.
This would bringabout thatSoutherii unity
so long desired. Without such consolida
tion of public opinion, all our efforts will
be worthless. \Ve are aware that these
ideas will not suit extreme men. There
are some who believe in “precipitating”
the country into a revolution. We are
utterly opposed to that policy. We want
the people whose interests will bo affected
by’ it, and whose honor is at stake, to ex
press their calm, deliberate opinion iU re
ference to tho matter. Away with “pre
cipitation”—it won’t do.
The other extreme is composed of those
who believe in just quietly folding their
arms anil waiting to see what the Riipub-
1 icans will do. Wo object to this policy
also. The course wosuggest is the medium
between the two extremes, and middle
ground is always safer than extremes.
The proposed general Convention might
determine, if it should appear nmuitost
that our honor and interest required it,
that nil tho Southern States withdraw
from tho Union at once; or, if it should be
deemed expedient to make one more effort
to save the Union, it might adopt a plat
form similar to that of the State of Geor
gia in 1850—setting forth our grievances
and laying down the proposition that in
asmuch as a sectional President bad been
elected solely on tho ground of the hostili
ty of bis supporters to the institution of
slavery, tlie people of ti e South would sol
emnly pledge their honor to each other,
through their delegates there assembled,
that they'would all go oat of the Union
together upou the happening of auy of the
following contingencies: ' The abolition of
slavery in tl»e District of Columbia, the
arsenals, docky ards, &e. The repeal of, or
an attempt on tho part of Congress to ob
struct the execution of tho Fugitive Slave
Law. Abolition of tlie inter-Stato slave
!e. A»y r attempt to obstruct Southern
emigration to any of the Territories—or
any other legislation whatever against
slavery, and the refusal to admit a new
State oil account of the recognition of
slavery in its Constitution. Thero may
be other points which have not occurred
to us. It does not matter, however. Our
intention is only to give a general outline
of such a programme as a general Conven
tion might adopt, in case it should con
elude that the mere fact of Lincoln’s elec
tion, under the forms of tho Constitution
not a sufficient cause to precipitately
dissolve the Union.
Iu reference to the hostile legislation
adopted by niuo of ilio free States, and re
furred to in Gov. Brown’s special message
his suggestion is a good one. Let the
Southern States adopt retaliatory legisla
tion.
Wo throw out these suggestions for
what they are worth, and ask no man to
adopt them unless they' are consistent with
tho promptings of patriotism, honor and
common sense.

now make it their solo reliance, and arc ordering (some
of them) as much as fifty tons, fifiruse tho next season.
This fact specks for itself. We have discovered a qjuiltf
ty, developed in the drouth, which was before unobserv
ed, viz: its hygrometie power, or capacity, to ubfinrb
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a large
extent the late unparreltod drought whei-e it wns used,
while most other fertilisers were not otrly valueless,
hut positively injurious to the plant The safety and
profit ai a money investment, arising from the use of
Mapea Phosphate, ave how placed beyond question, aud
the experience of tlie past season, bits established what
we have, without hesitation, always asserted for it, Ihut
