SEPTEMBER. a babbick.
Now the summer time is ending,
And the autumn shades are blending
With its clea n? hours ;
Sadly sing the birds and fountains,
Oi the moors and on the mountains
Bloom no more the flawe s.
For the autumn winds are sighing,
And with summer breezes vieing
In a plaintive strain ;
And the summer's light and gladness,
Changing now to gloom and sadness,
Bring us care again.
Now my heart is touched with s rrow,
And with salnessthat would borrow
Gladness Irom the sky ;
And a pensivene s of feeling
Upward rom my heart is stealing
On my brow to lie.
Yet i love thee, sweet September,
Love thee, for I well remember,
When a boy in years,
How thy days were born of pleasure,
How they wingec. away in leisure,
Full of hopes and fears.
Once there lived a being holy,
With r mind of bea ity solely,
Who in autumn died.
And September’s breezes wandered
O’er her pate as 1 pondered
Lonely at her side.
Like an autumn leaf she faded,
Like a flower io April shaded,
From its light and breath,
And do heart waa. leftjo bcjtow
O'er her ld£s, -avc mine, or borrow
Sadnesi from her death.
An I when tummer time was ending,
And the autumn sba es were blending
With its closing hours,
She, the loveliest of earth’s creatures,
With her jocund smiles • nd features.
Faded with the flowers.

Fancy Ball at Warm Springs.
The kilowing communication f-om a friend
now sojourning at the Warm Springs, Meriweth
er county, in this Mate was received a few days
since; and wc offer it tor publice tion, in order
that the seekers of health and pleasure may
know w hat a desirable spot it is for a residence
of a few weeks, or even during the entire sum
mer.
The waters are highly salubrious, and of al
most endless variety. The temperature delight
fully cool and i leasant—the house airy and well
located—the commodious cabins arranged on
either side of a long and densely shaded avenue
the tabic luxuriantly served, the host, hostess
and entire'am;ly nervously anxious toplease—in
which it is need’ess io fay, they so happily suc
ceed tnat iastidjous, indeed, must be the taste
and captious the spirit, which could take excep
tion io the most minute arrangement there.
But, dear reader, worl 1 you realize to the full,
how pleasant a place it is, to retire from the cares
and vexations and turmoils and heat of city liie,
go and try for yourself; and if in point of real
enjoyment, you do not say that it leaves New
port. Nahant, Saratoga, Aharon, Brandywine,
tnd all other ultra tashionable watering places,
far in the back ground, why then we will admit
that our taste has been cloyed by too frequent
visits to these last named place-, and we are not
a fair and impartial judge.
We would most especially say to those whose
Northern feelings are periodically in the ascend
ant —and who soon as the sun enters Gancer, fli*
off to some one or other of the fashionable wa
tering places of the North—if you only desired
a short lived fashionable notoriety, that your
names should be conspicuously emblazoned in the
pubbe prints, among the hat of visitors from the
sunny South, continue to go North—continue to
encourage by the patronage of your presence
and money thoaewho.if ther iniquitous schemes
should b« triumphant, would sweep you and
yours with the besom of destruction.
But, if you desire real and true enjoyment, in
which there can be no alloy, luster and encour
age someone us the many watering places which
have been gotten up with much lab *r and ex
pense to afford you, if you will, amusement and
delight and in trying, let us recommend to your
notice the Warm Springs of Meriwether coun
ty*
It only needs the encouragement of your pa
tronage to make this watering place one of the
most delightful spots on earth. As one strongly
marked characteristic, and whi. h to ua is its
greatest charm, we would remark, that the stiff
and conven'ional iules usually attendant on such
places, though n«'t entirely disregarded are not
here made a matter of the first importance; nor
does that gentleman or lady who should happen
unfortunately to violate them, lose caste, as is too
often the ca?e elsewhere. In short, the visitors
there-at least during the past summer, and we
are informed that owing tu the bon hommie of
the host and hostess, it is ever so—seem as
they ought t j be members of one and the same
family.
Says the writer of the communication:
“Such a thing ar what is called 'killing time' is
urffto.vn among us. The days are far 100 short
for all we would crowd into them ; for in-door
amusement and out-doot exercises—for rides and
walks—for pic-nics and fishing parties—and
what with the gracious dance, the melodious
and Jenny Lind-like songs from our fair frieuds,
Mlsh H., and the Tableaux so quickly planned
and skillfully executed by the s ime lair enchan
tress. The evenings to » seem shorn of their
just proportions. To the ladies we aro indebted
lor all these, and a thousand o’her plans ot
amusements. We find them equal to any emer
gency ;withheais to plan an i hands to execute,
they have but to will a thing and it is surely ac
complished.
“Only imagine their get tins up a fancy ball
within less than a week's notice, an 1 with a p« r
fect dearth of the materials must in vogue
on such occasions
•‘The store bouses from which emanated the
means for carrying out this bold enterprise, were
a few country stores in the vicinity, furnished
with very little suited to the occasion—so the
'adies were oblige 1 not oniy to tax their own
taste and memory, but their ingenuity also, to
brin? beauty out of chaos.
“I must confess that the hearts of many mis
gave them v hen they learned that such a project
was in contemplation. They believed, that for
once the ladies had a;tempted more than they
could accomplish. But they were just'y punish
ed for their want ot confidence, when the result
proved De la-lies more than conquerors, tor they
had triumphed over seeming impossibilities.”

“We will not specify those costumes which
which were strictly fanciful, without assuming
any decked character, though many of them
were strikingly tasteful. There were several
flower girls —a costume peculiarly appropriate to

Curraii amd Loro Avommobe. —The fallow
ing is among the cn&ny anecdotes related of
Curran, the celebra'ed Irish lawyer and wit:
As a judge, and, indeed Barrington has
hinted a' i», Lord Avonmore had one great
fault; he was ept to take up a first impreksion
of a cause, and it was very diflicul. afterwards
to obliterate it. The advocate, therefore, had
not only to struggle against the real ebstae'e
presented to him by he case itself, but aso
with the imaginary ones created by the hasty
anticipation of the judge. Curran was one
day most seriously annoyed by this habit of
Lord Avonmore, and he took the following
whimsical method of correcting it: (The
reader must remember that the object or the
narrator was by a edious and ma icious pro
crastination, to irritate his hearer into the vice
he was so anxious to eradicate.) Tney were
to dine together at the house of a common
friend, aud a larg-. party was assembled, many
of whom witnessed the occ rrences of the
morning. Curran, contrary to all his usua
habi“s, was late for dinner, and at length arriv
ed m the most admi.ably affected agitation:
‘ Wny, Mr Cur an. you have kept us a full
hour wa ing dinner for you,’ grumbled out
Lord Avonmore.
• Oh. my dear lord, I regret i: much ; you
must know it is not my custom ; but I’ve just
been Airness to a most m lancholy occurrence.’
• My God! you seam ter rib y moved by it :
take a glass of wine. What was its what
was it 7’
‘ I wi I tell you. my lord, the moment I can
collect myself. 1 had been detained at court
—in ths Court of Chancery—your lordship
knows the Ch<ncello ( sits late.’
‘ I do —I do ; but go on.’
4 Well, my Lord. I was hurrying here as
faet as I could— 1 did not even change my
dress—l hope I shall ba excuse I for coming
in my boots.’
• Fob, poh, never mind your boots ; tha
point—come at once to the point of the story.’
‘Oh. I will, rny good lord, in a momen* I
walked here; 1 would not even wait tu get
the carriage ready ; it would have taken time,
youknow. Nowthereisa market exset’y in
he road by which I had to piss ; your lordship
may perhaps recollect the market, do you ?’
•To be #uro I d<> ; go on, Curran—go on
with the story.’
‘ I am very glad your lordship remembers
the market, for I totally forgot the name of it—
the name—ihe name—’
‘Whuthe devil signifies the name of it,
sir 7 It’s the Cas*le Market.’
‘ Your lordship is perfectly right, it is called
the Castle Market Well, 1 was passing
through that very identical Castle Market,
when 1 observed a butcher preparing to kill a
calf. He had a huge knife in his hand ;it was
ai sharp as a razor. The calf was standing
behind him ; he drew the knife o plunge it
into the anima) Just as he was in the eel of
doing so, m little boy about four years old—bis
only son, the loveliest little boy 1 over saw
ran suddenly across hi* puh, and he killed—
oh, my God ! he killed— ’
‘The child! the child!’ vociferated Lord
Avonmore.
4 No, my lord, the calf f 1 continued L’urran,
very coolly : ‘he killed the calf, but your lord
ship ijs in the habit of any tipnting.’
The universal laugh was thus raised against
his lordship ; and Curran declared that, often
afterwards, a first impression was removed
more easily from the C nrt of Exchequer by
the recollection of th > calf in Castle Market

fession.
Yankee Silsbee in London. —The follow
ing is an extract from a letter written by
Yankee SiNboe, now on i profession*! tour
in England, to the Detroit Dtily Advertiser;
We roamed with a party of others through
the venous apariu.ems of the Tower and
our guide, who was a chat y, talkative Hue
man, fri-kfd abou’ and showed tie every oh
j *ct with a deal ol gusto. Al ln«t he came to
the great cannon and ordi ance captured from
the enemies of v nous nations.
“Thi« piece,” said our little guide, with all
’he pomp of a little Englishman, wno never
so happy as wh n boasting of their victo
lies, “this piece is from VVater’oo. Lord how
we did beat them there. This is from Bado
j •«; thia is from so and so,” and he ran over
h« cam on, dilating on the history of each
with evident satisfaction in every muscle of
hia countenance.
I naw he was highly diverted with relating
the exploits of his nanon, ao I thought I would
‘ bring him to anchor’* a little as the sailers
•ay. All at once I looked carefully about me,
turnsd my head every which way, and then
looked i quirngly at the guide.
“Wia ere you looking fur. sir, may I in
quire?” at length eiid he; “ we’ve got tro
phies from all nations.” and he pointed to a
number of interesting specimens with their
mou ha gaping open Ike hungry bull dogs
*ll *ve you, indeed T carelessly, * I
was’nt looking for French trophies nor Span

“Per haps r’athe Chinese ?” interrupted he
“No, nor the Chinese,” said I, “bu* 1 tee
yo > have got so much stuff laying about hero,
wh re’s al that was cap: ired from the Ameri
cans. eh ?*’
* Ah!” grunted he, looking amazingly
b auk “the America* s—yes. the Americans—
from the Americans you mean ?”
“Yes,” replied I. s ill looking, ‘1 don’t ?ee
any from the United States—wher-j is it all—
I want to see it ?”
“Oh, yea! thit taken in America—i see—
yes,”
“Exactly,” repeated I, “I heard you took a
good deal st Bunker Hill and Benmug on and
Trenton and those places.”
“So we did,” said he quickly, “but it was
such o d stuff that we did’nt care about brief
ing it home !”
Just h-n a sudden though* struck him; hts
eye* rolled up, a little blood fl iw to his cheeks
and he evidently ‘smoked ” He took the
queue and backed down. When the company
were goi g out, he leaned over and whispered
in my ear mat I wi< a Yankee.
* I’m not ing else, sir.” said 1, “and as for

A Financial Operation. — We lately heard
a storv i iusirative of the early days of York
county, Pa.—those good old tunes when every
body was “honest as the days were long.”—
The pa ties were two of the early settlers in he
western part of York (now Adams) county
both were of the honest old German stock, and
as one of them is still living, we suppress the

Peter, it appears, had increased the size of
his farm ty annex ng there.o a small tract ad
joining and ’acked about a hundred dollars of
the sum necessary to pay for ’.he new acquisi
tion. He called upon bis neighbor, George, to
borrow the amount. George bruoght out an
old bread-basket, and counted down the deaired
number o “thalers?” and then, of course, the
two sat down io two large earthern mugs of
cider and as many pipes of tobacco. After
smokinj over the matter for a while, it occur
red to Peer (hat in simii r transactions he had
seen or heard something like a note passing be
tween the borrower and lender, and he sug
gested as much to George. The lender, as
sented to the propr.e’.y of the th:ng —paper,
pen and ink were produced—and between the
two a document was concocted stating that
George hsd loaned Peter one hundred dollars,
which Peter would repay to George in “dree
moots, ’ (three months) Ton Peter signed,
aid thus tar our two financiers had made the
thing all regular and shipshape.
But at this point a difficulty presented itself.
They both knew that me notes were made in
the operations of borrowing *nd lending which
they bad witnessed, but ne.tber of them had
observed what disposition was made of the
docamen—neither co< idle! whether it was
en regal for the borrower or the lender to ake
charge of tbs paper! Here was aci emma!—
At iength a bright idea struck George.
You hafde money to pay, Peter—lobe sure
you must take dis paper, so as you can see as
you has to pay it!”
This was conclusive —the cox mon sense of
ths tbng was unanswerable, and Peter pock
eted the money and h s own note, “ so as he
could see he has to pay it!” Three months
passed over, and punctual to the day appeared
our friend Peter, and pad over the promised
sum to George. This Leins done, the mugs
and p pes were again paraded. After puffing
a whtl<*. Peter produced the note snd banded
it to George, with the remark: “Now you
must take de note, so as you can see de money
has been paid !” We Yorkers may be tru-ted !

The Womdehs »v California —Profefsor
Shepard, in giving an account of his recent
exploration of California, portrays the coun
try in the following enthusiastic, ala ost roman
tic. a’yle :
1 have now explored California Tor nearly
two years 1 can truly say it is a land of wen
ders. There ar ■ fresh flowers every month in
the year, and winter now wears the bloom of
spring. I have found water-falls three and
four times as high Niagara ; natural bridges,
of white marble, far surpassing in beauty tha
of Rockbridge, Va.; some thousands of gold
bearing veins, inexhaustible quantities of iron
and chrome ores, lead, bismuth and quicksil
ver, most beautiful porcelain c’ay, and in short
everything that can bless an industrious and en
terprising people. In one valley I found more
than forty springs of over one hundred Fah
renheit. In another valley sixteen geysers,
like the famous one in Iceland In this fa
mous abode of Vulcan the rocks are so hot that
you can stand upon thembuta short time even
with thick boots on. The sofeitoua rocks are
bleached to snowy whiteness, and breccia’ed
conglomerate locks are now actually forming.
The roar of geysers a* times may be heard a
mile or more, a d the moment :s one of ths
m„st intense interest as vou approach them.
Decline of Great Britain. —The leading
article of B’ackwood’d Magazine for Angus
draws ~ gloomy picture of the progressive
decay of the population arid resources of the
British hands. A tone of strong party feel
ing characterizes the exposition—although the
statist cal fac's which are presented seem to
indicate some very s artliug results.
With regard to the population of Ireland, a
comparison of »he census returns of 1851
with those of 1841 shows that th%coun’y oi
Cork has sunk 222 000.Galway 124 000, Mayo
114.000. Tipperary 111 Limerick 80000:
and Roscom.uon 79.000 This aggregate
decrease, we are moreover 'old, has occurred
!-ince 1846. op to wi.ich period every *»ne of
the counties enumerated above had incre sed
in numbers. Such a decrease within five
years must be regarded as remarkable indeed
• The history of modern Europe,” B'ack
wood, does not present a s.mihr ins’ance,
in t-o bhort a time, of awful and well-authenti
cated dechne of the human sp s cies.’
The total decrease in the population of Ire
l.-.nd since 1841 is put down at 1 659,340 ; but
a? there w san average increase from 1841 to
1846 the actual decrease since the latter year
has been 1 863 102.
Including Great Britain and Ireland and
the islands in the Channel* the decrease of
populati on since 1846 is stated at 8 ,9 990.
A decline in the resources of tne empire is
also marked and commented upon From a
paper lately laid before Parliament, it appears
that the property assessed fur trades and pro
fessions—that is the commerce and manufac
lures of Great Britain—exhibits a falling off
from 1843 to he close of 1850 to the amount
of moru han nine millions sterling; and from
a statement made in ti.e House of Commons,
without contradiction from the Ministerial
benches, the returns from land exhibited a
fa ling off of twenty millions sterling since the
repeal of the Cord Laws. Were Ireland in
cluded Ihe opinion is expressed that the de
cline would bo ten millions more. The pro
pertv tax returns are now declining at :he
rate of fifty thousand pounds sterling a quar
to r ; and next year siys. B'ackwood, beyond
all question it will be nne hundred thousand
pounds a quarter. The London Times is
quoted as a ltn.tt ng that for two years and a
half agric ulture in Great Britain has been
carried on at rates below -t remunerative level
While the aggregate tonnage in Bri ish ports
has increased since the repeal of the Naviga
tion Laws some 500.000 tons,'ho shipping ot
the United Kirgdom during the name time
has dectea«ed io the extent of 311.831 tons,
while the foreign shipp ng has increased 354,
256 tons. Tne increase of British exports
>ince 1816, or the repeal of the Corn Liws,
has amounted to jC 30,000 000—being not more,
says Blackwood, than had 'aken place in a
similar time during every five years rinca the
battle of Waterloo. The increase of imports
since 1846 has been some thirteen per cent
more thin the increase of exports-—from
which fact the apprehension is drawn of a
continued and increasing strain on the metallic
resources of the country.
We have allud d to the tone of party feel
ing which characterizes (his article, and doubt
less some allowances must be made on that
score. But with all such deductions enough
will still remain to indicate a downward state
( f things in Great Brita n—whether temporary
end incidental or not, lime must hereafter

State Seaeaslon.
The question whether a State of the Ameri
can Union has. or has not, the constitutional
right to secedo from that Union at pleasure,
demands, whenever it is rdsed, as it is at pre
sent, the caretui consideration of every citizen.
Desirous of investigating this subject for
ourselves, we procured a copy of the Articles
of Confederation, and of the Clonsti ution of
the United States, with the view of comparing
the assertions of newspaper writers and public
speakers, with the provisions of those respected
instruments, which appear to us to have the
most direct bearing upon the subject. We
request the publication of the following ex
tracts in the Constitutionalist, for tha satisfac
tjiuo of such of its readers as have not easy

nor lime readily to find the portions best cal
culated to afford the desired information.

hereafter be made in any of them, unless such alte

Messrs. Jenkins, Toombs and Stephens.
•‘The great unchanged” Col. Lawson, was
there, the Champion of disunion. Mr Jen
kins opened the discussion in a speech of one
hour. I have often heard Mr J. before, but
never listened to him with mure interest
lie was eloquent, chaste and zealous. The
speech fully sustained the character of this
popular son of Georgia—a gentleman < f
whom the people ol Burke will ever feel
proud.
“The great unchanged’ 1 Col. Lawson, next
occupied the stand lor one hour. He scarcely
touched the points at issue : h.s hour was
nearly consumed in reading old newspaper

and reading a por ion of Siephens and

Stephens n> uned the s and. and commenced
speaking. On looking around he discovered
Col Lawson had left the s’.acd. He remarked,
I wi-h the gentleman would return—l want
him here—i want him to hear what 1 have io

audience—some hollowed out, “he is gone,”
some “he is dead”—others, “he is sick ” He
was called for and came back, and each an

Mr. Stephens’speech was one of the most
argumentative I have ever heard. He took
up the Compromise B lisand argued them so
as to satisfy nearly all his hearers that the South
had go’ a l ah- asked for. and was not cheat

Meeting In Jefferson.
About one thousand of the citizens cf Jes.
ferson and adjoining counties, assembled at
i Mt Moriah Camp Ground, on Thursday, 25th
I inst. Major Geo. Stapleton was called to the
j chair, Mr. R. J. Farmer appointed Marsha! of
the day, and Drs. E. R Cardwell and J. 8.
Wilson requested to act as Sec’s. The Rev.
Joseph Po’hill opened the meeting by a fer
vent invocation of the blessings of Heaven
upon our happy country, upon our political
leaders, and upon tho important result* which
aie to eventuate from the present commotion
in the political element. The H n. A-J
Miller was then called to the stand, and in one
of his happiest efforts, reviewed tha issues be
fore the country. In his introductory remarks
he Hated that in the sessions of our legislative
assemblies, whether State or national, of ‘49
and ‘SO, slavery became the question of ques.
tions, rose ahovo party, dismlved the adaman
tine hands which held the parties heretofore
together, and was hence, the question now be
fore the people.
The doctrine of al! parties at the South, Mr.
Miller contended, was non-intervention, as ex
pressed in the conventions and other public
meetings of Whigs and De nocrats in ‘47, ‘4B
and 49. Indeed, after Mr. Stephens had giv
en the South a timely and solemn warning in
reference to the existence of the anti-slavery
laws in the territories acquired from Mexico,
both parties had met and made this demand of
non intervention. The ridiculous position
into which the oppooition is now thrown is,
that having heretofore opposed the doctrine of
the Mexican anti-slavery laws, they are re
duced to the necessity of still opposing ithe
doctrine, and at the same time declare
lustily that slavery cannot go into the acquired
Country, because dtephons and Toomts still
hold to their old notion of the reality of these
impediments.
T he compromise measures were then taken
up. In the bills for Utah and New Mexico a
principle was gained for the South, for which
nobody hsd ever contended, the right to enter
the Union as States witboat or with slavery as
the peo. le of the respective territories might
chocse.
The Texas boundary question was similar
in principle to the great Yazoo question, when
Georgia ceded ’he disputed ’erritory to the
general government for a money considera
tion. States Rights men all say that Georgia
in this instance, had a perfect eight to make the
bargain with the general government, which
she did make. Texas is equal in sovereignty
to Georgia. How then can States Rights men
deny her an equal right to make her own
trade ? So far as the slave trade in the District
of Columbia was concerned, its abolition wa«
petitioned by the people of the district. The
d.ffdrenco in the law on this subject in the dis
trie’, and the one fvr some years existing in
Georgia was only tn the penalty annexed for
its violation. In Georgia a fine of (if I mis
take no.) SSOO and frutn one to three years
imprisonment was the penality, whereas it was
in the District the freedom ol the slave. Quere:
Which is best to free a negro or to take away
the money and liberty of a white man T
The admission of California the point upon
which ths Governor called a convention of the
people last year, was not objected o by the
Legislature, on account of any anti-slavery
clause tn her conritution, but on account of
her “spa'tely settled population.' 1
The Fugitive Stave law was the most strin
gent that could possibly have been f amed.
L’he former law on the subject was inefficient,
and tha Supreme Court had deci led that Con
gress by more strict legisla ion would have to
enforce the requirement of the constitution,
and hence this better law, and the necessity of
its creation. Mr. Miller closed, after having
defended the points, briefly noticed in this
article, in a speech of an hour and a half.
As there were no opposition speakers, Mr.
Too nbs then addressed the assembly in a
lengthy and able speech, alike worthy of him
self and his cause. In view of tho agitation
in the atmosphere of Politics, he remarked
that calmne s was not the resu’t of freedom,
but of tyranny. That agitation was the legiti
mate offspring of ali free governments. There
would be excitement and commotion where
the people rule, and this was right
The Southern Rights party were last year
for disunion for existing causes. They chose
McDonald, as the exponent and standard
Dearer of tbe principles of the party, and that
McDonald at the Nashville Convention; over
which be presided, has said in subs’ance. that
in view of no palliation for the past, he was
for taking steps for the future safety and inde
pendence of the South. Though the South
ern Righ t party were for disunion last year,
they are now only grumbling, and next year
it is highly probable that an abundance of cer
tdicates can be obtained, that no Southern
Rights parly ever exieted. In Mr. Toombs’
opinion the South had yielded no demand she
had ever made, and hid sacrificed no principle
ehe had ever held. lu the adjustment every
demand of t o South had been obtained, but
the demand of Strphens and Toombs had not
been jutty satisfied. They called foi legislative

to slavery tn the lex loci of the territorial ac
quisition Tho Sonth c’amored for non inter
vention, and Jud . e Berrien, in a speech in the
Senate, Feb. 11th, 1850, said :
“ He make no claim to your interference. We
do not invoke the exercise of your legislative power.
We deny that you poesess* such powers. *Ye say
to Congress, exercise tile power which you possess,
from whatever source this may be derived, of ins'i
tuttng Governments for these Te-rttories. Abstain
from legislation upon the subject of slavery ”
The Son h had got what she asked, Mr.
Toombs had a<-isied in obtaining the fulfil
ment of her request, and so far as the legisla
tion of Conjress was con erned he had lost
no principle for which he contended, and
Congress had only fail'd to give him hit de
mand of protection, for which the South had
never a»kel. Upon tho necessity of the
reneal o f the Mexican laws he met strong
opposition three years ago, but strange to ssy
those who thi.n oppose I him, now hold the
same opinion (professedly,) as to the n *cessi
»y of repeal, and yet oppose Mr Toon be.
However they may agree in opinion witn those
gentlemen, opposi ion to Bte hens and
Toombs seems to be he radical basis, he car
dinal point in the political confession of faith
of -he Southern Rights patty of Georgia.
Fur contending for this pm.cipla, said Mr.
Toombs Mr Stephen- wan denounced at ihe
South as a traitor and even watend her soil
with his blood iu defence of the South. Yet
Mr. Stephen#cared for none of these things.
He knew the right and he stood to it. He
was Ii in to his principlescome weal or woe;
for he was one of those men who would not
flit er Neptune for his trident, or Jove for his
thunder.
The Southern Rights party tell us they love
the Union, although the Government is gu.lty
of oppressing and degrading thorn They
have not the excuse of the love sick gi.*l, who
said
•• 1 know not, I ask not, if guilt’s in that heart
I know that 1 love thee what ver thou art.”

If slaveholders have lost the right to carry
their slaves to California, they have lost it upon
sound principles. The right ol each State to
prescribe its own institutions ii a right above
slavery ; slavery is only an incident to this
right, and California was a’, liberty to accept or
re ect it as she might think be<it. This princi
ple is one which lies at the foundation of al!
good gov*riment. This is a principle to
which Mr. Toombs ha# ever held, to which
he now hold', and to which he will forever
stand though—

dieuce at Trelmansville, Cherokee County,

fore the coumry were as powerful as unan
swerable. To-day he met hie opponent Judge
McDona d al Canton, and 1. was a proud
day for the Constitutional Union party. We
had a large turnout, say from 800 to 1000 per
sons. Judge McDonald led off in the discus
sion, in a dry sod uninteresting argument of
two hours and a q larter, which entirely dis
appointed the expectations of his friends. In
cucdnsion. Mr. Cobb addressed the au
dience for two hours and a quarter, in which
h) demolished the positions of his opponent,
and eloquently demonstrated th3 fallacy of
every position taken by Judge McDonald—
he charged direct y that the Judge was no: on
the Georgia Platform and greatly to our ss
tonishmenr, the Judge answered directly and
unequivocally, that he w.ib no*, on the Georgia
Plaiujrm. Mr Cobb expreised his regret
hat the Judge had not made the av wal at an
earlier date in the campaign, as it would have
-aved mm much labor in showing the Judge
was nor on the Georgia Platform. The cause

Dliunlaa Uruwa < ttel--P’or* ytu’a Lett or
. Vs’e norice in the Charleston papers, a letter
from John Forsyth, Esq , Editor of the Colum
bus Times, in which he openly avows a com
plete identify or feeli g with the disunionista
of Carolina. He declares that he
with them from the bottom of hie hwt,” and
among other thing* equally remarkable, utterx
t he following startling language :
“I would to God, we Lad fewer miles of railway,
fewer millions invested in manufactures and stocks
and more of that spirit and chivalry of Georgia o
tbeolden time, which, on more than one occasion
bos interposed her sovereignty to check tbe usurpa
tion of the Federal Government.,”
If language like this does not arouse the
people of Georgia to a sense ofthe real danger
which threatens us, we know not what will
Haeitcometo this, that a gentlemen of res
pectability, connected with a press of influence,
will venture to avow a desire that the people
may suffer the pinching® of poverty, and the
horrors of pecuniary want, in order that their
heart* may be schooled to deeds of treason and
rebellion!
The “chivalry of the olden time” indeed .*
What was Georgia “in the olden time,” be
fore she was raised from the duet by that very
sp rit of improvement of which Mr. Forsyth
omplains? Does he desire a return to the
days of t h e Yowe chivalry? We p r esume
not. Then in the name of God, why deprecat,
that prosperity which our people have wrough
out by their energy, entetprise and public
spirit ? Why depre.ate that prosperity which
he knows will be destroyed by the wild schemes
us disunion which he advocates.
Mr Forsyth it seems, in bis Carolina letter
is an ultra disunionist The letter itself
shows that he contorts and sympathises with
the disunionists of that State. Wny does he
not proclaim the same sentiments through
his paper now that he d;d last summer 7 Why
does he not *peak of “ the accursed Union,” au
do his secession friends of Carolina T Is it nut

being good Union men? Voters of Georgia!

Under which Banner?— Wa met a gentle
man a few days since, who attended a large
public mee ing near Camden Suuth Carolina,
during a recent visit to that State. He said
that the first things which etrack his attention
upon approaching rhe stand, were two large
flags which were flaunting in the breeze. They
were planted upon opposite sides of the crowd
One was he Palmetto Banner—the other the
Stars acd S ripos.
Ihe speaking soon commenced. The con
test was between the immediate secessionists
and co-operationists. Judging from the re
marks of the speakers and the clamars of a
portion of the audience, our informant said he
«uppossed that the whole company were disu
nion’sts.
After the discussion was ended, some one
proposed to divide the crowd. An old naan
called out m the friends ot the Union, to “re
member the flag of their fathers !” the words
fell like a c’a > of thunder upon thecra/vd.—
There was death like stillness lor a few mo
ments, and then a general rush' Seven tenths
of (he audience took shelter under the stars
and stripes and gave three hearty cheers for the
flag of Washington !
A few men of desperate purpose, took their
pieces under the rattle snake banner, while the
remainder walked round and ronud the flag
staff, and cast many a suspicions glance at the
Banner of the new Rhett Republic.
One old man, after gazing intently upon this
fl ig for a time, slowly shoak his head, crossed
his hands behind his back, and took his position
with the majority, remarking that, “he had
tried the government of Washington a long
time—that he had been prosperous and happy,
and that if Mr. Rnett and his followers were
not so, they had better leave tteair country, for
their country’s good.”
Oar informant was astounded himself, but
no’ half so much, he said, as were the seces
sion orators. They had supposed the people
were ripe for rebellion, and had it not been for
the lest proposed they might, perhaps, have
gone to extremes; but when it camb to desert
ing the flag of Washington—when called upon
to turn their backs upon the binner of their
fathers—the blood of the revolution rebelled.
As it was in Carolina, so it will be in Geor
gia, on ihe first Monday ii ' October next.—
The same two flags have been plan’ed in this
State, the stars and stripes float over the head
of Mr. Coob while the secession banner—the
rattle snake banner—the disunion banner is
sustained bv the hands of McDonald.
People of Georgia! voters of Georgia! un
der which banner will you take your purition?
Will you desert the stars and stripes ! Or will
you not rather, like the brave Carolinians take
position under he flag of Washington 7 If
you hive any doubts—any hesitation—as to
your duty, do as did the old man at Camden

Thb Difference —The Error—One
false method of appealing to the passions of
ourynii’hhas been to liken their case to the
case of Lafayette, De Kalb, and others in our
own revolution, and onrgalian’ people going
abroad on former occasions to aid struggling
nations o maintain their liberties. But there
is not one shadow o f similitude between the
cases In every instance of that kind the peo
ple themselves had, by successful revolut on,
overthrown thv legitimae Government, and
bad established a government de facto, and the
only existing Go eminent, in their respective
countr es, when patriots on Lted in the cause to
aid them iu maintaining their nationality and
liberty. They never went to exci ea people
to rise against their Government upon the
hypothesis that if they were encourag d by <he
presen'e of au armed force they would resist
That is a forlorn hope none of them ever en
gaged io. The people every where like .oo
much to be toe architects of their own revolu

Gen Wool and Col. Webb—Rochester,
Sept 20,1851.—1 have made some further in
quiry a* ou’ ibe case of Col. Weob and Gen.
Wocl. Tnereis no getting at the exact par
ticulars, because the story has only oozed out
from themselves. The rumor all over the city
about the fracas on Thursday afternoon, be
tween Col- Webb and Gen. Wool is, that du
ring the day Geo Wool asserted his right to
review the troops, as taking precedence of the
Governor, who is only Captain General of the
Mil Lia. The claim was not admitted, as it was
the militia that were to be reviewed Gen.
Wool, however, agreed to go -o thegroun , and
it w&i arranged that be should have a place in
the Governor’s carriage. In the same car
nage were Col Bruce and Col. Webb, as aids
of the Governor. The Governor observing
that Gen. Wool and Col. Webb were not
speaking, proposed to introduce them. Gen
Wool said he did not know Col. Webb and did
not want to know him There was then
some allusion to a certain article in ihe Cou
rior and Enquirer, in which some reflections
were made upon the generalship of W 01.
Col. Webb, in justification of himself, said he
had a letter from the late General Taylor, in
which he said that if General Wool’s ad
vice had been followed, tho decisive battle
of Buena Vista would have been lost
General Wool said it was false ; Col.
Webb said he would p’ove it by publish
ing the letter. General Wool dared him
to do so. What further occurred depo
nent saith not; but the foregoing is iu every
body’s mouth.
It appears there has been a bad feeling be
tween Wool and Webb ever since they were

McDonald faded to adopt any name to designate
the party which it represented. It was com

not i»y down any regular platform ol principles ;
bntdenounced in the most unlimited terms the

as the Georgia platform. It nominated as its

Here, then, la Disunion proclaimed for causes
which then existed. This is hut ail. Judge uc-
Dtutald Is now supported by me very men and

Opinions of the McDonald Preu.
Tho Columbus Times speaking of the Union
aaidt
“Sooner or later the Southern States will sea
that their only safety is to get out olit.” ♦ • •
“If the South remains ten years longer in the
Union, nothing short of a miraculous interposi
tion can save the institution ot slavery and tne
south from their doom. Tne only ark ol safety
to fly to is secession.”
Tne Savannah Georgian said :
11 Wo gave our views in regard to the acts of
the Convention, and wi stand now ready to sup
port them. If I ify are n w for Secession we are
with them. We shall stand by the principles we
have already advanced, and hold ourselves in
readiness to defend the rights of the South
South— nit by yielding her territorial right) to
the North, b-it with that defence which every
true Southerner should stand ready to wield
against an intruder.”
The Columbus Sentinel again said :
“We have long contended that the admis
sion of California would fill to oversowing the
poisoned cup of degradation which the North
has been for years preparing tor the South.
We have declared oar determination to hold to
the Union so long as the** was hope that
we would be safe tn the Uul*n. That hope has
been disappointed, and wo abandon the Union
as an engine of infamous oppression. We are
for secession, open, unqu ilified, naked secession.
Henceforth, we are for war upon the Govern nent,
it has existed but lor our ruin, and to the extent
of our ability to destroy, it shall exist no long
er." .1 ■ - M
The Federal Union said t
“The bill for the admission of California has
passed the Senate, and its friends confidently
believe that it will pass the House, and receive
the sanction of the President If it does, the
Executive has no choice ; his duty is defined,
and he will promptly discharge it. The conven
tion will be called. Upon it, will devolve a re
sponsibility sufficient to make the shoulder of
an angel quake. •••It cannot for a mo
ment be believed, that th it Convention will take
counsel of its fears • • • It cannot bo be
lieved that that Convention will give the lie to
the often reiterated declarations of the people,
that resistance to aggression was their right and
their duty. • • ♦ it will then—there can be
no alternative—determine upon resistance. * •
It may be, that the Convention will decide upon
separate action by the Statu, in other words im
mediate secession."
The Columbus Sentinel again said:
“As for ourselves, it is needless to say, that we
look forward with joy to the period when the im
positions of our Northern brethren shall by dis
solution be removed. We hope that the refusal
on the partof the North, to execute lhe provis
ion, of the fugitive slave bill, will be ‘confirma
tion strong as praofs of holy writ,’ that it is mad
ness to think of continuiuK in lhe Union. With
out awaiting, however, a further development of
Northern sentiment upon thia or any other ques
tion, we will hail the dissolution of this Union,
as a 'consummation most devotely to be hoped
for.”
“We frankly tell you, that so far as we are
concerned, we derpi-e the Union and hale the
North as we do hell itself."— Columbus Sentinel.
Here, then, voters of Georgia, you have the
McDonald Platform of 1850. He, and all the
men who occupied it then, wereevidenlly disun
ioniste. Are you wiring to trust them now 1 it
they are still upon their old plattorm, you cannot,
if, on thecontrary, he and his supporters are, at
heart, still Disumonists, and are al the same
time pretending only to occupy the Georgia i’lat
ibrtn, io order to cheat the people out of their
voles, what course ought to be pursued towards
then' ? Are they not unworthy of public confi
dence and esteem 1 Are they not the lhe veriest
set of political “thimbleriggers” tnatever dis
graced a free country 1
People of Georgia I Here is the McDonald
platform. If you approve of it; if you are for
disunion, vote for him. If you approve of it,
and are for disunion ; vote for those who will
sustain him both in Congress and in the Legis
lature. If, h iwever, you prefer the good old
Washingtonian doctrines—if you pre'er the
Government approved by Jefiereoriand Madison,
and Jackson, Taylor—vote for Cebb and the
Union ticket — one and all. Keep the old Hag of
your fathersalloal, and all wdl be well.
Rush for the Georgia PI nt fa rm.
The fire eaters are just at this lime making
a tremendous runh for the Georgia Platform.
They seem to be making a preconcerud effort
to take forcible possession of it, and, if possi
ble, to drive off the light!ul owners. The
disunion orators—the disunion presms and
the very street brawlers, nearly all profess io
he sianding upon the Georgia Platform !
Some of them even pretend to have a better
claim to that noble structure, than the men
who tnide it. They profess to bo the best
—the very be*t. Union men in the world
models of patriotism and of devotion to the
government.
What is The meaning of all this 1 Has the
“Ethiopian change I his skin, or the leopard
hist-pots T that the very men who viliified and
abused the Union last year, should now pre
tend to be its best friends ? Are men
honest T Are they sincere ? Or are they, in
deed and truth, making the Union a “masked
battery?” Hav* they seen the error of their
ways, or are they striving to deceive and cheat
the people into their support by laltte preten
ce? and false professions ? Is it likely ;is it
probable, that they love the governmeni any
letter now than they d d when they tbre?/ up
their bats and shouted for disunion lari year ?
Does any iran who is no* an idiot, or a
knave, suppose that the Times and Sentinff,
o! Columbia, the Sou lierner, of Rome, the
Consfiiu ior alial and Republic, of A igusta,
the Georgian, of Savanr.ah, the Telegraph,
at Macon, and the other organs of that party,
are Ires hostile to the Union now than they
were when they boldly declared for open
resistance, skoe߻ion and di-union last year ?
I r.e thing is absurd. To what conclusion
then most the honevt voters of Georgia be
driven ? Wfiat opinions must they Le like y
to entertain of those who are making these
hollow and hypocritical professions f
Suppose a body oi men were to visit ’he
house of a planter at midnight, with fa:es
olack with hate, and with horrid imprecations
on th ir lips, attempt to force au entrance,
to despoil him of his goods, end to tear down
the shell r which his fa her bad erected for tho
protection of his wife and children. Suppose
the plan.er were to succeed in driving back
tbeso murderous burglars, acd overwhelming
them with deiea , would he be likely to trust
them, f, on the succeeding night, they should
reru'o wi h professions of friendship on .heir
lips? Would he not be likely to regard them
as enemiesin disguise ; as very imps of Si an;
unworthy of qua: ter ; unwoithy of his confi
dence or reepec; ? Would h* Le likely to
4 kill the fatted e&lf;” to invite them in and
give them seats of honor at his hospitable
ooard ? Surely no sensible man would be
guihy of folly like this.
Buef> is precisely the present position of
those dMumonis.s who now claim to occupy
the Georgia Platform List year they attemp
ted to destroy the Union by storm. They
were discomfited, betien, driven back, over
whelmed by ihe people. Then, they “haled
the Union .ike h-;l.” Nuw t they come like
Jadas, to be’.ray it with akiss Will ihe voters
’.rust them ? Will they bestow offices and
honors upon them ? Will they allow them to
occupy high places in (heir confidence and
esteem ? Wid they not rather mark every
man oi them, and consign them to politx al
ban shment during their natural lives ? This
te just the ques ion to be settled on the first
Mcnday in October. Let every honest man
on that day beware of “wolves in sheep’s
clothing.”— Journal Sf Messenger
