“A few weeks before tiie deli veryof this eulogium
•by (yen. C nan, namely, on the2lst and 2-d of
j February, IHOJ, a debate- arose in the Senate, m
wliich Mr. Fillin'-re s course was referred to. He
' bad previously-ent a message to Congress asking
further provisions of law, for putting down mob,
violence and forcible, resistance to tbe fugitive
• r .vc lew. In the course of the debate the follow
j hig testimony the firm and faithful manner in
i W hj«.h !,*• hail discharged hi.-- Presidential duties, was
j borne by Democratic Senators.”
: -So far as I understand the measures of the Pre
; sideid. 1 approve them, and / heto vc he is driermm
{clto do ht* duty firmly in respect t.. thus for- , and
as one m.-mbei of tbe Senate, I will say that if the
In w is defective, I am willing to clothe him with any
, power within the limits ol the C.on.ditu
' fioti.”—ffieiJ. Lewis Cass, t eb. 1~, 1851.
■ “ I for one am disposed to give the President all
J nroper pow* r. Il»* uas given u* no reason to doubt
I l a</</.'/ rity and fidelity in carrying out Hu* hue.—
t I think it is the duty ol Congress to give sucl. pow

i tor Downs, of La., Feb. 21, 1851.
j “Iho or him for his course, and if the approba

< li -. of my political friends heartily thank God
! tliut Vre have in this crisis a patriot and a statesman
i at the head of affairs who knows his duty and dares
' to perform ii.'*—[Senator Clemen.'?, of Alabama,
Feb. 21, 1851.
• - I am one of those who believe that the Presi
dent of the United States, in his efforts to enforce
the law, liks done and is now doing his duty to the
country.”
“I t ike this occtwiou to declare that, humble as
my support, and influence are, and hostile though I
am u»vv, and ever expect to be, to the political
principles of which He is the representative, he
wili huve, in his effort* to enforce the law, my vote
and influence as wag us 1 have a vote and a voice
here, if he continue in the fearless and patriotic
course which he is pursuing.” —Senator Dodge, of
I'M a.
** If at any time the present Executive entertained
the sentiment 1 which the Senator from Tennessee
has ascribed to him, when lie reached the high place
of President of the United States, and came to act
for the whole country, he has laid aside the preju
dices and predilections of a mere district represents
live, and has acted for the whole nation, and I re
spect him for having done so.” —Senator Dodge, of
loir a.
“Thus did democratic Senators, one after an
other, rise in their places in the Senate of the Uni
ted Ht'ites, and cheerfully testify to the lirmncHS
and patriotism with which, as the Chief Magistrate
of tfie Nation, he had borne himself in a great and
trying national crisis. And yet this same Millurd
Fillmore, whom th-s« Democratic Senators, casting
aside all party prejudices, and acting upon their
high responsibilities ns Senators of the United
State, rose up in their places in the Senate to honor
and applaud—this same Millard Fillmore is now
viflified and traduced as an abolitionists by the cen
tral organ of the Democratic party—the Washing
| ton Union—and other lesser organs of that party !
i (Jan any good—can anything but evil—come to the
1 country from the continued ascendency of a party,
whose organs, as far as their influence goes—and
it is very great—whose organs debauch the public
mind, and poison the very fountains of public
virtue, by such acts ns the holding lip of Millard
Fillmore to their hundreds of thousands of confiding
readers as an abolitionist ? No! —depend upon
it— l, o good can come to the country from the con
tinued ascendency of such a party. It is the lead
ers of that party which have brought the country
to it* present alarming condition, and only evil, and
evil continually can come of their being continued
in power.”
Probably tin re is no paper in the Union which is
at this time, more vindictive in its denunciations of
Mr. Fillmore ns an abolitionist than the Richmond
Enquirer, yet, in 1852, it pursued a more honorable
policy. We republish below an extract from it:
From the Richmond Enquirer, Sep. 14///, 1852.
“Gen. Taylor died at the very crisis of affairs.—
4 The country felt, rebelled from an airful agony,
when Mr. Fill more took therein* of government,
threw aside (Sen. Taylor'* advisers, formed a better
cabinet , a rul garc his conscience to other peepers than
Seward.' 4 The white policy of government was
im mediately cha aged.'
“Tne Compromise measures quickly passed, and
the white Country was relieved from its painful
anxiety."
‘ “Ever since that change the Southern Whigs
have become more and more devoted to Mr. Fill
more.’ ‘ He became their chosen leader—their spi -
nal and particular candidate for the Presidency.'
‘Whilst the North deserting him, took up with anoth

put down Mr. Fillmore , because he ventured to
brave their indignation .’ l This is all history.' *lt
is truth.' 1
“ Gen. Taylor was born in Virginia, he was reared
iu the South, was a large slaveholder, whilst Mr. Fill
more had been educated in New-York, and was
proved to hold doctrines e.v. eedingly objectionable
to the South. But how weak the restraints of edu
cation with these men ! The one, listening to -the
voice of advisers into whose souls Seward had
breathed the poison of his unholy politics, pursued a
policy which came near wrecking this nation upon
the shoals of disunion ; while the other , cleansing
the capitol of Its traitorous denizens , disregarded
the whispers of early prejudice, and helped by the
nngl’ \ engine of F..rent tire influence , to quiet the
count y, and to save all portions from injury and
dishonor."
“We do not approve of Mr. Fillmore’s adminis
tration in all its policy, but we are free to say, that
lie has made au infinitely better President for the
South than Gen. Taylor did or would have done,
and we believe-there is not a Whig south of Mason
and Dixon's line who does not in his heart believe
the same thing."
A O. P. Nicholson, the present editor of the
Washington Union, made a speech at Gallatin, Ten
nessee, on the 28th of July, 1852, /is reported iu the
Nashville Union of August *2, 1852, from which we
make the following extract :
.4. O. p. .\ dtolson on Millard Fillmore in 1852.
“lie next inquired into the influences which led
to Gen. Scott’s nomination, and showed them to be
freesoil and anti-compromise iu their character. He
showed that Fillmore and Webster were sacrificed
t',»r their compromise sentiments, and that General
sSeott was uominated because his doubtful position
mode him more acceptable to the enemies of the
compromise. Ho commented at length upon Gen.
Seoit’s letter of acceptance, showing that it contain
ed no express endorse ment of the compromise, but
on the contrary a palpable bid to its enemies. He
rend that portion of the letter in which Gen. Scott
stated that lie will not, in the appointment of offi
cers. require, as a test, exact conformity to his own
opinions. Mr. N. regarded this as a palpable bid
held out to the enemies of the fugitive slave law in
the Whig ranks —the men whom Fillmore had pro
scribed and turned out of office because their opin
ions M ere not iu conformity with his own upon that
law. lb* thought this was plainly saying to the
enemies of the compromise that they would not be
prescribed and turned out of office because of their
opinions ft was this proscription that had ruined
Fiu more at the A orth .
‘ Mr. Nicholson, at the time he made the speech
from which the foregoing extract is taken. Mas one
of the Democratic candidates for elector for the
State at large, and he made the same speech iu sub
stance all over the State. Yes. he traversed the
State in 1852, everywhere alleging that Mr. Fill
more m*;»s ‘sacrificed’ at the Baltimore Convention
on account of L’s ‘compromise sentiments’ —that
Mr. Fill mote Lad ‘proscribed aud turned out of
odice’ at the North tic* ‘enemies of the Fugi

which had ruined Mr. Fillmore at the North.
“ Having delibclately made these declarations on

Editor of the official organ of President Pierce. has
the baseness to say in 185 b:

played off upon Fillmore. “Oh, he ear.not be elec

elect Buchanan even such men as Hon. A. Hull,
of A then is caught in this snare. I have tLi* year
travelled from the sea-board to the mountain.-, and
I now fully believe that I illmore will sweep the
State —and from what i learn, other Southern States,
if {he people can only be kept from throwing their
votes on Buchanan from despair. The truth is, no
earthly power can make a majority of the Luneet
yeomanry of Georgia believe that Millard FiUinore,
| tried as he ha- been, is not to be preferred to such
an untried end doubtful man as Ja nes Buchanan.
No man shall cheat me out of my vote for an honest
man, so worthy of it as is Fillmore. He can beat
Fremont, and I have no doubt but before the elec
tion comes off, thousands of union loving Demo
crats wiii rally to the man. That he is tbe choice of
Georgia, who can doubt. Is it possible then that
demagogues can cheat us out of so good a man by
saying he cannot be elected! Stop, my good friends,
perhaps you might beg my vote, at that point I am
very susceptible, but you cannot buy it, much lees
cheat me out of it. Come, now-, brother Democrats,
do give us your help for a tried, sound, national,
union man. Your man is pretty clever, I have no
doubt, and might (?) make us a good President, but
there are two reasons why you should all come over
to Fillmore : Ist. You know he is a good President.
*dd. You ought to know that you cannot get our
people to experimenting by trying new and doubt
ful men in this eventful crisis. In conclusion, if we
do not beat Fremont “out of sight' - with Fillmore,
it will only be because you will not help us, nor let
us by your everlasting cry “he cannot be elected.”
It is an insult to our good sense to tell us bo. We
can do what is right if we try; I was on the cars the
other day on tbe Georgia Railroad. The vote was
taken, it stood as 5 for Fillmore to 4 for Buchanan.

Col. li. U. Tatum—
Dear Sir : —Well knowing your influence in tee
county of Dade, you will, 1 hope, not think it im
pertinent in me to enquire of your whereabouts in
tiie coming political contest. We have fought some
battles together, and l do hope to find you side by

against Buck., Breck. and Broadhonis, and all that
favor their election. I should like to hear from you
on this subject. Your*, &m.,

Trento.*. Gu., Aug. 7,1856.
Col. John J. Word—
Dear Sir: —Your esteemed favor of 2d instant,
inquiring of my whereabouts in the coining politi
cal contest, came to hand in due time. In answer
I will only say that I am for Fillmore before any
man in the nation, and will cheerfully give my sup
port to Douelsou. The Hon. John E. Ward, Presi
dent of the Cincinnati Democratic Convention,
while Mayor of the city of Savannah, made the fol
lowing remarks while welcoming Mr. Fillmore to
that city, to wit:
“Mu. Fillmore.-— With unfeigned pleasure 1
perform the duty assigned me of welcoming you to
the city of Savannah. Whilst the events which
mark your administration of thejgovernment are of
too recent date to be discussed without arousing
passions, which on this occasion should be hushed
to rest, we must ail remember that those high and
solemn trusts are not assumed by you in the sun
shine of your prosperity. It w as* at a dark and
evnetful period in the history of our government
“when the brave begun to fear the power of man,
and the pious to doubt the favor of God." Dark
and fearful were the clouds that hung in our horri
zon, violent the faction that agitated our laud, and
men seemed to reck not how wildly raged the storm,
so that in its fury, it upturned the institution of the
South.
“7/ was your lot to breast that storm, and bid its
mut/crings cease, and to do that you must turn
away from the crowds of flatterers to tread the lone
ly path of duty. With your robes of office as a
panoply of ice , yon wrapped yourself from all the
prejudices of earlier years, and from all the /• mpta
lin us which then, surrounded, you. ‘Un terrified by
threats, van wed by clamors , you held, in your
steady course.' Preserved the constitution of your
country, gave peace to the land we love, and repose
to the institutions which v'e cherish, illustrating to
the world that ‘pence had its victories no less re
nowned than wars.' It is lit and proper,now, when
you have laid aside place and power and patronage
that the affections of a grateful people should follow
you to yovr home, and linger around you in your
retirement. As the constituted authorities of the
city of Savannah, we welcome you within her lim
its—as the representatives of the people, we wel
come you to our hospitalities—as a portion of her
citizens, we welcome you to our homes and our
hearts."
I was proud to sec that distinguished Democrat
while occupying that high position, lay aside his po
litical prejudices, and give utterance to sentiments
so patriotic and render “tribute to whom tribute was
due.” I, too, am a Democrat, have been a Demo
crat of the old school, and am fully apprised that
what Mr. Ward uttered then is true now. I shall,
therefore, support Mr. Fillmore.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t,
R. 11. Tatum.

lion. It. 11. Hill in Eexiiiffton.
Mr. Editor: — On Tuesday, 12th instant, the
lion. B. H. Hill, in accordance with his appoint
ment, met a large number of the people of Ogle
thorpe, and discussed fully and freely the issues of
the campaign, opening in a speech of two hours,
followed by the Hon. Linton Stephens for two and
a half hours, then closing with a speech of one hour
and n half, making the time occupied altogether six
hours.
It would be wholly needless for me to attempt a
synopsis of Col. Hill’s speech. I shall not attempt
it. It was characterized throughout by a coolness
and calmness pleasant to even opponents, and his
arguments were characterized by a plainness and
point that even the very commonest intellect would
hardly fail to perceive. It was a speech which was
calculated to make men think and reason for them
selves ; and when this object is affected, the truth
never suffers in the conflict. Disclaiming the poli
ticians place, and using none of the politicians
dodges and miserable subterfuges , he met fairly and
squarely the issues of the canvass. With those per
sons who think and act for themselves, his speech
was effective, and will bring forth good fruit, some
days lienee ; while, with the prejudiced, the blinded,
the partisan, right or wrong, the tongue of a Paul
would have no effect. Upon the whole, an enthu
siasm was awakened in Oglethorpe, gratifying to
all (save, perhaps, the bogus Democracy, and from
that portion of the crowd we couldn't expect a great
deal of that article,) and which it is to be hoped will
increase until the fact is pounded, or drove in some
how, into the heads of the Bogus Democracy, that
there is a Fillmore Party in Oglethorpe county,
which will not only be hoard and seen, but felt at
the November polls! Col. Hill vindicated the su
perior claims of Mr. Fillmore over and far above all
other candidates now before the people, beyond any
dispute! Party hacks —new light zealots of the
Bogus Democracy, with those who use that “rich
Irish brogue" and .“sweet German accent” to the
contrarp notwithstanding.
lie showed up the iniquities of the “ th ing" nomi
nated at Cincinnati—the rotten platform of the
concern —and above all, the outrageous and intole
rable swindle, the Kansas bill! The “galledjade
winced" more than once during the castigation, but
no true Southern man—no true national man—no
conservative—could fail to see how utterly impo
tent—how utterly frothy are arguments brought
against those facts, founded upon history past and
present, and which go so far towards showing that
at this crisis in our affairs the hopes of the patriot—
the destiny of the Union—point only to, and vest
solely upon, the election of Mr. Fillmore to the Pre
sidency! Southern meumnyllmk the question as
j they may—evade the fact as they can—it is still a fact,
staring every man iu the face, that now, with Fremont
ns the Northern sectional candidate, and Buchanan
the Southern sectional candidate. Mr. Fillmore is
the only man before us who dares to announce his
sentiments —who boldly declares iu their teeth that
all sectional men, per sc, are moral traitors to the
Union! Where are the Union men of Georgia who
carried the State in Cobb s election by 18,000 votes ?
Where are they ? Then they battled for the Union
under the broad banner of the stars and stripes, with
Millard Fillmore as their file leader! Are they now
prepared to desert their colors and their leader iu a
struggle far more portentous of evil to the South
and her institutions ? Men and brethren! beware
of the trail of the serpent—whether from the press
or the stump, the - extra" or the pamphlet" In
vestigate for yourselves ! Suffer no demagogue to
sugar-coat the pill he may present you Asser
: your independence of the lead of any man, or set o
i men. who have been weighed and found wanting
who have been trusted and have deceived you.

To the Veters of Taliaferro.
There arc many among yon. who have not yet
determined for whom you will vote in November.
To such I wish to present a few plain facts. A few
y« jt ago you were Union men. with the Compro
mise measures for your platform. These measures
were the strong framework upon which the noted
Georgia platform was erected. Every one knows
to whe.m we are indebted for the establishment of
these great principles of Southern rights. You weii
remember who was placed before you as the pilot
who steered the old ship of State safely over the
tempestuous sea. When ids deeds were fresh in
vour minds, yon were justly enraged that Scott
should be preferred to fill more. Think for a mo
ment. and see if he has said or done anything to di
minish your confidence. Washington like, he re
tired into private life little expecting and not at all
wishing to be placed in his present position. He
L> now where yon wished him in 1552 ; and consis
tency requires that you should support him. Before
you reject him consider well the consequences.
Fillmore deserves your support on account of his
Southern principles. The very tneu who now de
nounce Fillmore as an Abolitionist are the seme who
1 could brand your own honored son with the epithets
of traitor, ,<fr. Their testimony was not taken
then, nor should it be acne. Reflect for yourselves,
and act according to your ova conviction. Place
Fillmore by the side of Buchanan, and see who has
done more for the South. Let his letter of accep
tance, speeches and especially his acts, be your
platform and guide. Taliaferro,

Letter from Col. George M. Dudley.
Americus, July, 23,1856.
Gentlemen .- 1 have yours of the 13th inst, kind
ly inviting me to a mass meeting propoeed to be
held at Warrentou on the 11th of next month, and
to address that meeting on the subject of the pend
ing President] > 3 election. For reasons of a private
nature, which it is useless here to disclose, it is not
probable that I can att- id your meeting.
Although I have m&do no public avowal of my
views, you judge correctly in supposing m*- lavorh
bly to the restoration to the Presidency of Millard
Fillmore, & man who has proven himself so emi
nently worthy of the trust. He has claims to the
confidence and support of the American people,
higher and stronger than those of any other man in
the Urttiou. Claims which, in the virtuous days of
the Republic, would have prolonged his former
term, just as superior wisdom, justice, and modera
tion did once re-confer the saaie office on his great
prototype, if not by acclamation, at least without
appreciable opposition. It may be that Mr. Fill
more’s stern virtues, his incorruptible character, his
broad patriotism, and his undeviating nationality,
instead of commending him to universal suffrage,
will be the causes of Ins defeat. The fanaticism of
the North, the ultraism of the South, the alienism of
German Infidelity, and the machinations of Papal
Rome, may, for ought I know, be so wielded as to
work iiis defeat. It must be manifest to all. that
the age is prolific of daring profligates and insidious
bypocrits. and the actual condition of the country
demonstrates the folly of conferring the national
estate to the stewardship of men utterly incapable
of constructing a decent platform for themselves,
and destitute of sufficient steadiness to stand on one
made to order. Platforms have, in fact, become the
watch-words of demagogues, and the rage for plat
forms is an alarming symptom of premat lire political
decrepitude. What man, or convention of men,
thought of presenting a platform of principles to
General Washington, and requiring him to endorse
it, before he could expect ttie people to vote for
him ' Who. but a political Automaton, would now
blindly commit his judgment and his conscience to
the keeping of any other man, or set of men?—
What man of honorable impulses, not to say pious
emotions, can, in effect, swear that, whatever
changes may come upon the country, by the act
of God or its enemies, at home or abroad, he will or
will not pursue u given line of Stale policy for four
years consecutively ? And if any man can do it,
does lie not, oy the* act itself, betray a recklessness,
incompatible with patriotism and eveiy other exal
ted sentiment; and does he not deserve execration
rather than applause ? Here then, is one great per
vading difference between the only two candidates
for the Presidency, likely to be voted for in Geor
gia. The one, while approving substantially cer
tain principles enunciated by those nominating him
for < dice, takes special care to base his acceptance
mainly upon what he has already done, in that very
office, with no other pledge, in advance, than
the oath which the Constitution of the whole coun
try, a party or section, has prescribed.—
The other, ignoring his very existence as a man,
and slavishly submitting to the behests of faction.
Whatever others may do, with my views of right
and wrong, with my understanding of the difference
between u patriot and a partisan, 1 shall feel con
strained, unless something transpires, which I can- j
not foresee, to vote l’or Mr. Fillmore.
Though Mr. Buchanan's letter of acceptance con
tains a single sentence, which would, of itself, deter
me froinjv oting for him, I do not intend to say,
that his course, up to that time, commends him, at
all, to me, as a suitable man for the Presidency. To
say nothing of the fact, that he is part and parcel of
Gen. Pierce’s administration, which I uid not help !
to inaugurate, and which the Democracy propose to
sustain,%hile they repudiate the man, his connec
tion with the first Presidential election, in which I
felt any interest, was anything but creditable to his
head or heart. The charge of bargain, intrigue and
corruption, preferred against Henry Clay and John
Q. Adams, was distinctly traced to Buchanan’s
quarters ; and though George Creamer was the on
ly man about there, bold enough to aver what never
was or could be proven; yet, the suspicion was then
overwhelmingly violent, t hat the originator of the
slander was none other than Buchanan himself.—
Nothing has since occurred to remove, but much to
confirm the suspicion, that bargain and corruption
was, indeed, attempted, when the election got to the
House, but that the intrigue was conceived, brought
forth, and fell still-born, from the heart and brain of
James Buchanan himself. As “the vilest sinner
may return,” and as Mr. Buchanan, along with Cass
and Dickinson, nobly avowed his adhesion to the
Compromise measures of 1850,1 was inclined to
blot out the past, to forgive and to forget ; and then,
too, he had the manliness, in the teeth of Democrat
ic platforms, constructed for Southern use, to avow
himself a better tariff man than llenry Clay ever
was. But then, at Osteud, he displayed a trait of
character, of which, I lmd supposed a man of his
age and high pretensions to be utterly incapable.
I t may be admitted, that he is an abler man than
Pierce, but still, he is committed to Pierce’s policy,
with the Cuban and Pacific Railroad plank added
to the Pierce platform. The late demonst ration in
Congress, indicate that the old internal improve
ment plank, in the Democratic platform, is consid
ered rotten, and requires to be removed, and that
the Pacific Railroad plank is to be substituted. 1
think: if the t wo were placed side by side, t hey would
detract greatly from the symmetry, and consistency
of the structure. That, however, may be a matter
of taste with the builders and dc gustibm non dis
putandum. It had been far better for the country,
perhaps, if they had hunted up, restored and made
permanent two old planks, long since thrown over
board, by modern artificers, which were originally
prepared, by Jefferson and Jackson, both master
builders of the ancient Democratic creed. The Jeffer
son plank was marked thus, “No federal office
holder shall, iu any way, interfere with political
eoiistroversies, upon pain of dismissal from office.”
The Jackson plank was inscribed thus: “The pa
tronage of the government shall not be brought into
conflict with the freedom of elections.” But. then,
had the Cincinnat i builders done this, Mr. Buchanan,
whatever his skill in horsemanship, would have
found it hai*d riding, with Pierce’s administration,
and the platform, thus amended, under the same
saddle. If such a feat of equestrianism were possi
ble, at all, one would suppose it could be performed,
by a man who was a federalist in the days of Madi
son and a Democrat in the days of Jackson —a pro
tective tariff man in Pennsylvania and a free-trade
man at Washington—who saw exclusive power in
Congress to control the negro question in the Ter
ritories, in 1818 ; and the same power in unnatural
ized Irishmen and Portuguese in 1856. Such versa
tility of genius may be well adapted to the theatre
or circus, but it is altogether out of place in the
ruler of a grea t Christian people.
Genuine patriotism like genuine politeness has its
origin in the love of God, and Hows out in love to
man. Its utterances are made through deeds, rath
er than words, and that man must always be re
garded the noblest patriot, whose words and deeds
are so directed, as to promote the harmony and hap
piness of the whole country, whose benevolence ex
tends from ocean to ocean, whose intelligence com
prehends, and whose heart beat in sympathy with
the interests of all, East, West, North and South,
who cannot be for one of these against the rest, nor
for the rest against any one section. Such was the
man who was “ first in war, first in peace, and first
in the hearts of his countrymen.” And of the same
ty; .• is Millard Fillmore, and if Americans are wise
w! I out listening to the siren songs of professional po
lil ns, or the ravings of partisan leaders.they will
man !i to the polls ou the 4th of November next,
and cast their suffrages for that modern Palinurus.
who knows the seas, who rescued our noble vessel
from frightful breakers on a former occasion, and
who, under G«»d, is the only man on earth, who
ought to be placed at the helm, in our present dis
tress.
Is there enough conservatism left in the ship’s
company to put him there : Or, has despair para
lyzed the minds and hearts of all on board l Iu this
hour of peril, nothing is to be expected from foreign
ere, or anarchists. Their presence but heightens the
gloom, and makes destruction more palpable. Let
us imitate the example of those whose hearts and
aims and ends were one, and “ with a firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence,” let us
hearken to the notes of our pilot as they peal from
Albany and Rochester, and reverberate along the
shores of the Hudson; let us do all that virtue and
valor can do, and if we perish, let us perish striving
to maintain American protestantisin, American na
tionality, and American union. Who can say, that
we shall not yet outride the storm ? Who can say,
but we shall still live to forget the thunders of the
Almighty's voice, as it lately spoke, in anger, on the
plains of Kansas, and was muttered back in spite
ful echoes from the coasts of England, and live to
remember with joy and gratitude our common sacri
fices, and our common struggles, to transm t to our
children’s children the noblest inheritance ever

The Argument Exhausted.
Washington, Aug. 16,1856.
Mu. Editor :—Yesterday was a great day in
Washington, because it was the day on which not
only the best, but the fairest political argument was
made that I ever heard, and you know I have
heard many. I shall not attempt to give you a sy
nopsis of a seven hours' discussion. I have headed
this article as above, because I consider that, on
yesterday, everything to the point, was said on each
side. The arguments, on both sides, were not only
models of ability, but of fairness and courtesy.
Mr. Hill opened the discussion with a speech of
some three or four hours in length, and though I
have met him a few times before, I did not think j
there was such a popular orator in the State. The I
extravagant notices I had heretofore seen of him. I
thought were nothing more than the usual puffs, but
1 found none had even done him justice. It any
portion of his address could be estimated more high
ly than another, it was that iu which he charged his
adversaries with having kindled this excitement to
the danger of dissolving the Union, by abolishing the i
Missouri Compromise, after the repeated pledges j
given the nation by the Compromise of 1850, by the
: resolutions of the Baltimore Convention, and by the
circular signed by the friends of that measure, with
i Mr. Clay at its head, followed by Messrs. Cobb;
• Stephens and Toombs, and long array of Southern
j members of Congress, pledging, in all these shapes,
j that they would not in any form, fashion, or manner
I thereafter, agitate the slavery question By these
! means giving the North an argument which is likely
to carry the Freesoilers into power. And now,
! when they have done this, declaring they will dis
j solve the Union if Fremont shall be elected. He
] said the Missouri Compromise was wrong, but it
was in existence when these pledges were given.
1 and they should never have been given if the
j pledgers did not intend to abide by their pledges in
I good faith. Mr. Thomas, in answering this portion j
( of the argument, endeavored to show that it had I
! been violated before. But he was at fault in this :
| he only showed that efforts Lad been made by !
• Wilinot and other members from the North, but !
i they had never succeeded, and that ail these efforts
| were before the pledges so solemnly given.
Mr. Hill further demonstrated that the repeal of
• the Missouri Compromise had not given that equali
ty which the Bucaneere contend for, because Ore
j gon and other territory lying north of 36-30. still
had tiie Wilinot Proviso on them. That the equal!-
!ty was a pretext, bn*, the object lo*create an ex
; afrement for the purpose of making a President, and
lif that could not Mieceed* to to*.; 1 .,-, tlit Union.
: When he charged home this want of good faith, the
; consequences likely to result from it, and the objects
| for which it was done, I saw the faces of the honest
i old Democrats turn pale with conviction, and then
i blush with shame lor who van hereafter believe
in their iaitb f Can they dare ask it ? Os the evils

Mr. Thomas wisely and prudently declined an effort
at impossibilities. If possible, Mr. Hill's reply of
a T >out an hour in length excelled his opening
speech. The discussion was characterized l*y can
dor, courtesy and ability. In fine, it was a model
discussion It was a discussion by the strongest
champion on each side, and those who heard it need
not go further. The argument was exhausted. The
audience were delighted at the gentlemanly and
decorous wav in which both speakers conducted the
discission.

Unrein Meeting “Pic Cr^st• ,,
Mk. Editor : A communication from Lincointon
over the signature of “Pie Crust,** published in the
last weekly issue of the Constitutionalist , has at
tracted my attention; and, though honoring the
writer more than be or his communication deserves,
I propose, with your permission, to make both the
text for a few observations.
First, then, at* to “ Pie Crust” himself, descended
in a direct line from that immortal character in the
Georgia Scenes, which, under the name of Kansey
Sniffle, Longstreet has made to personate the noisy
busy-body and officious intermeddler, “Pie Crust”
performs to admiration the part of his progenitor, in
the political controversies of the day. Attached to
no principles, fickle and variable, it not weak in his
judgments of men and in his estimation of character,
and without the aid and the restraints in forming
and in adhering to opinions and conclusions, fur
nished by a Bible education, (he was educated a
Jesuit,) “Pie Cruet,” in politics, iu religion,in social
intercourse, is
“Like the vile straw that’s blown about the streets,
And sticks, adhering fast, to al! it meets,
Coac h’d, carted, trod upon, now loose, now fast.
And earned off in some dog’s tail at last.”
Last year, u member of a Council of Know-Noth
ings, as he is pleased to designate the American
party, no one was louder in denunciation of Popery
and iu deprecating the evil influences ofForeignism
in the country ; and up to the very day, when, in a
similar character as in his recent communication, he
assisted the Secretary of the Democratic meeting to
report the proceedings of that body, he was a most
ardent and uncompromising American, and was
anxious to reply to Judge Thomas on that occasion.
How long he will adhere to the Democratic party is
an uncertainty ; 1 presume, however, so long as its
members will notice him, and until they can pro
cure the services of a better pimp.
“Pie Crust,” in a long defence of his course lust
year, told us that lie abandon 'd the American par
ty out of regard for Ids country. Poor country !
that needs the services of such a changeling. 1
have no disposition to do even “Pie Crust” an in
justice, but as he persists in thrusting himself be
fore the public eye, he must expect himself to be
properly impaled, and this is all 1 aim at doing not
in dread of his influence or his reasoning, for these
arc less than naught, but even an insignificant gnat
annoys. Therefore I dismiss “Pie Crust” with Un
cle Toby’s remark. “There is room enough in the
world for both of us.”
“Pie Crust” presumes to take the place of Re
porter to r late meeting of the American party in
Lincoln, and tells the editor of the Constitutional
ist and the public, that he means to cross every “T”
and dot every “1” of the proceedings. Let us see.
He insinuates, in the first place, that the refusal of
B. B. Moore to preside at the meeting was on ac
count of want of sympathy by that gentleman with
the objects of that meeting; and that the announce
ment of his refusal fell like a bombshell among us.
This is falsehood No 1.
If “Pie Crust” will consult Mr. Moore, he will find
no truer or wanner supporter of Mr. Fillmore in
this whole country, and one, too, who will give “Pie
Crust” such reasons for his choice as would over
whelm with confusion this "‘soft shell ” Neophyte.—
Neither are we terrified by the opposition of profess
ed foes, come they in the shape of Members of Con
gress, or in disguise of a pseuduym and under a “Pie
Crust” hide a sheep's head ; still less are we alarmed
by the defection of unfaithful friends, as this corres
pondent ought to know. But “Pie Crust" goes on
to say, “After a considerable hiatus—occasioned by
the refusal of Mr. Moore’s unexpected bombshell,
the same individual (meaning one B. B. Moore)
moved that Luke Lansdeli, Esq., take the chair.”—
C. R. Strother, Esq., made this motion. This is
falsehood No. 2, by this faithful reporter.
The next paragraph is a fancy sketch by the re
porter about “high priest Sanhedrim,” “priestly
robes,” &0... which may be very fine to him, but is
very false to us unlearned people who have receiv
ed no Jesuit education. But further, the reporter
say 8, as a reason why we passed no resolution in
regard to Mr. Fillmore, “they (meaning the Know
Nothings as he facetiously calls us) kuew full well
that one of their number, a leading Know Nothing
of the school of 1855, upon the very announcement
of the name of Fillmore, would have let loose a
bomb-shell in their midst, the effect of which would
have left them without a respectable quorum to vote
upon the question of adjournment.” How this
writer deals in warlike terms! One would think
the villainous saltpet re was Dot offensive to him; but
as Falstaff says, "instinct is a great matter.” Now,
this assertion of “Pie Crust,” I will call falsehood
No. 3. it was not known on that day that a single
member of the American pally present was opposed
to Mr. Fillmore, and far was the suspicion from our
minds that Mr. Strother, whom “Pie Crust” heralds
forth as a supporter of Buck, and Brack., was iu
the least disaffected. It was known on that day
that Mr. S. was favorable towards Mr. Fillmore. It
was the suggestion of Mr. Strother himself to leave
the delegates to the Macon Convention untram
raided, and urged by him on the ground that the
resolution which was adopted condemning the ac
tion of the Philadelphia Convention might be eon
strued into a restraint upon the freedom of the dele
gates. 1 should be glad that “Pie Crust" would
mention the name of another individual who lias fol
lowed the lead of his friend.
The compliment “ Pie Crust” pays to Mr. Stro
tlier’s consistency is much more than the latter gen
tleman can return. Strother “stood by hie American,
ism until it was denationalized,” according to “Pie
Crust,” but the latter ir dividual lied from his post
at the first shadow of approaching danger. But
“ Pie Crust” asks what has become of the grand
ratification meeting : and as he seems anxious to be
informed, I will tell him that the friends of Fillmore
in Lincoln (and their number will astonish this mole
eyed gentleman) will hold a grand jubilee next week
where he or his friend, if either wishes, or both, may
be heard in defence of the old Federalist—the poor
man’s enemy —the Squatter Sovereign, Filibuster,
Freesoiler, and advocate of Alien Suffrage—James
Buchanan.
“ Pie Crust” seems to be much troubled because
the people of Lincoln choose to exercise their liber
ty in subscribing for such papers as suit them, and
such as they may regard as exponents of the princi
ples they advocate. This is consistent with the plat
form he advocates, which adopts a principle that en
nobles the treason of Aaron Burr, and excuses as
venial the piracy of Capt. Kidd—the principle which
“Pie Crust” learned from the Jesuits —that the end
justifies the means—and that might makes right.—
He would compel us to take his p'/per —forsooth!—
Our reporter complains that we will not “ touch
with a forty foot pole the Constitutionalist, calling
it that lying sheet.” “ Pie Crust” was long enough
a Methodist to learn that the Bible enjoins us to
* touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing;”
and only with a papist in disguise can our obedience
of this command be censurable ; and if we call the
Constitutionalist a “lying sheet,” it is because that
paper has made itself the vehicle of just such cor
respondents as “ Pie Crust."
Begging your pardon, Mr. Editor, for taking up
so much of your valuable paper in bringing proper
ly before the people this anonymous correspondence,
I dismiss him and his communication, with the hope
that in the next report, he will “ speak from the re
cord” alone. Bkxj. F. Tato.m.

We publish among our election returns an extract
from a letter of a very reliable correspondent at
Richmond, Ky., in relation to the judicial election in
the 12th district. The oouuties comprising this dis
trict are also in the 6th Congressional district, long
famed as the Gibraltar district of Kentucky. These
counties went against the American party last year
by an aggregate majority of 1500 votes. Our cor
respondent informs ns that it has gone for the Ame
rican candidate in the receut election by a majority
of 500. In this district the contest between Pearl,
American, and Kiddle. Sag Nicht, may be taken as
a test of party strength. Both were the nominees
of their respective parties and it appears to have
been made a party race. Xhis will be glorious news
for our friends everywhere. Tliroughout the whole
State the result has been similar. \\ herever the
party lines were strictly drawn and it was under
stood that there was to be a party contest there are
large for the American party.

hr the C’ nsfttnt ionaitlf in fnrorvftke restoration
oflhf jfPwtniri Compromise ?
It has become fashionable with Democratic -ora
tors' and Democratic presses, to set down every per
son who gives a reason for Mr. Fillmore’s opposi
tion to the repeal of tin. Missouri Compromise, as at
once iu favor of its restoration—that, because Mr.
Kiiiiuurc did not approve of the agitation thus
brought about, he is favor of continuing that agita
tion ~by a re-enactment—or, as the Hon. Thomas W.
Thomas expressed it, because he (Mr. Fillmore) be
lieved that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
was the opening of Pandoras box of evils upon the
country, therefore Jr* was in favor of shutting up
the box by restoring it. This illegitimate conclusion
is a fair specimen of the honorable gentleman’s argu
ment. If he had stated that Mr. Fillmore was op
posed to the agitation of the slaver}' question, which
was the real ground of his opposition to the re
peal of the Missouri Compromise, out of which have
sprung all these evils, and had satisfied his audience
that its restoration would have shut up the box
again, having first brought all the evils back
into it. he might then have said, with some plausi
bility, that Mr. Fillmore would favor such a proposi
tion. But the furies had beeu released from their
confinement by this rash and reckless piece of legis
lation, and the honorable gentleman failed to show
that they would be imprisoned again by such a
policy, as he would attribute to Mr. Fillmore, and
thus failed in his argument. When he shows that
the restoration of the Missouri Compromise wiligive
peace and harmony to the country, lie will doubtless
find Mr. Fillmore and the whole South in its favor,
and not until then.
But it would not be surprising to find tiie Demo
cratic party assuming such a position before the
canvass is over. Their candidate, Mr. Buchanan,
in his Sanford letter, claims for Congress the exclu
sive power to legislate upon the subject of slavery
in the territories, which claims the Southern States
have always resisted, because of its unconstitution
ally* Judge Gibson has beeu held up to public in
dignation by a writer in the Const nationalist, be
cause be said that the Missouri Compromise was a
compact. It must be remembered that the Judge
\va • a good and true Democrat in 1848, and it is pre
sumed procured some of his ideas from the leading
organ of that party iu Georgia at that time. Let us
see whether he spoke from the record.
The Constitutionalist, April 22, 1818 says :
•The various decisions of the Supreme Court and
State Courts do no more than maintain the authori
ty of Congress under the clause of the Constitution,
empowering it to make needful rules and regula
tions. No decision can be shown, claiming for
Congress the right, under the Constitution, to pro
hibit shivery. \\ here it has been done by Congress,
it has been by the authority ol deeds of session, or
by consent. The Missouri Compromise was a consent
to this exercise of power north of latitude 36 3IK.—
This was a y’eiding up, an unwise yielding up to the
North of constitutional rights. But it is done. So
far as that compromise line runs, it will be. respected.
Slavery will not cross it.'*
In the same article, the Constitutionalist , speak
ing of the power above claimed for Congress, says :
The antagonist ground of the Southern Democrat
ic conventions is that Congress has no power over
the question of slavery in the territories acquired,
or to be acquired by the United States—it cannot
legislate for its abolition, or prohibit its introduc
duction, nor can it legislate to abolish il when iu
traduced. That as Congress cannot do this, so
neither can the Territorial Legislatures, which are
subordinate to, and wholly under the control of
Congress.”
Mr. Buchanan, in his letter of acceptance, says:
“The people of a Territory, like those of a State,
shall declare for themselves whether slavery shall
or shall not exist within their limits.'’
Which is tiie best Democratic doctrine ? The
Constitutionalist , who says the Territorial Legisla
tures have no power over the queston of slavery,
or Mr. Buchanan, who says they have such
power ?
But again, the Constitutionalist , July 28, 1848:
“It is the language of visionary enthusiasm or ro
mantic patriotism, to expect that the North will
leave this question ‘where justice and the Constitu
tion leave it,” unless she can be bound dawn by a
so/emn compact on the subject. It is for these rea
sons we have advocated the extension of the Mis
souri Compromise line to the Pacific.”
Now if the Missouri restriction were a badge of
infamy and disgrace upon the South, can there be
any justification for such language ? Cun the peo
ple of the South now listen to the voice of one, who,
by extending the restriction, would deepen that infa
my and widen that disgrace l
Judge Gibson could not swallow all this doctrine
lie did not favor an extension of our dishonor, nor
did he urge a renewal of that compact “as the clear
est dictate of prudence, good sense, and patriotism,”
as did the Constitutionalist.
Constitutionalist , June 26,1850, says :
“But we have seen no proposition which is so
certain to secure general acceptance at the South,
as ‘the extension of the Missouri Compromise line to
the Pacific .” (The italics are the Constitutionalist’s.)
“Under the Missouri Compromise, the Union has
held together for thirty years, when the defeat of
that measure seemed to threaten inevitable dissolu
tion. It seems to us the clearest dictate of pru
dence, good sense and patriotism, for the North to
desire to renew that compact. Its tendency will be
to strengthen the bonds of the Union, now so fear
fully weakened. Its defeat, we believe, will sooner
or later be to bring about a dissolution.’’
Such was the language of the Constitutionalist in
1850, during the pendency of the Compromise mea
sures of that year. That paper opposed those mea
sures and urged a renewal of that compact of 1820!
It was here then. Where is it now ? If a renewal
of that compact is a restoration of the Missouri
Compromise, does not that exponent of Democracy
enlist on the side of Fremont, Seward, Sumner, and
the host of Freesoilers at the North? What say
you, people of the South? Union.

Mr. Stephens mid ilie CoustiliitionaliM.
Is Mr. Stephens a worthy disciple of the school of
Garrison ? Would his sentiments be applauded by
an abolition audience ? Would they pass muster,
where hatred of the institutions of the South was
the stepping stone to power and eminence ? Would
the home of a man, who entertains such sentiments,
be more appropriately located North than South of
Mason &, Dixon’s line ? Let his co-laborer in the
cause of alien suffrage and squatter sovereignty an-
From the Constitutionalist, September 13, 1851.
In 1845, Mr. Stephens made a speech in Congress
in favor of the annexation of Texas to the Union,
after he had opposed it with all the virulence be
longing to his nature.
In that speech he used the following language :
“This acquisition will give additional power to
the South Western section in the national council,
and for this purpose I want it. Not that 1 am de
sirous to sec an extension of ‘ the area of slavery
us some gentlemen have saul its effects would be.—
1 am no defender of slavery in the abstract, liberty
always had charms for me, and I would rejoice to
oee all of Adams’s family in every land and clime,
in the enjoyment of those rights which are set forth
in our declaration of Independence as natural and
inalienable, if a stern necessity bearing the mark
and impress of the Creator himself, did not in some
cases, interpose and prevent. Suchisthe ease with
the States where slavery now exists. But 1 have no
wish to see it extended to other countries , and if the
annexation of Texas was for the sole purpose of ex
tending slavery where it docs not now , and would
not otherwise exist, 1 would oppose it /”
If these sentiments were uttered in a Friday even
ing’s speech in a school of Garrison's they would be
applauded by every abolition auditor. They would
pass muster where hatred ol the institutions of the
South, was the stepping stone to power and emi
nence. We allow to Mr. Stephens the rights to enter
tain these sentiments, but the home of the mail who
does entertain them would be more appropriately
located North than South of Mason &. Dixon’s line.
Have we correctly quoted Mr. Stephens’ lan
guage ! We think we have. His own words make
him an enemy to the extension of the area of slave
ry. For after saying that he is no defender of slave
ry in the abstract, he adds: “if the annexation of
Texas was for the purpose of extending slavery
where it does not now, and would not otherwise ex
ist, I would oppose it.” Well, Mr. Stephens tells
us, it does not exist in New Mexico and Utah.—
What then! He would oppose its extention into
those territories. This is Ins meaning, or language
has no meauiiig at all. Mr. Stephens says : “I have
no wish to see it extended to other countries,” &c.
If then as he says, slavery does not exist in Utah
and New Mexico, how could he, with his deliberate
ly expressed opinions, desire to see it extended
there. lie could only desire it by proving false to
iiis principles.
Matter for serious reflection is here presented to
the Southern people. The Constitutionalist and
Mr. Stephens are now hand and glove. Has the
Constitutionalist, then, changed its principles since
September 13,1851, or lias Mr. Stephens come with
in the sphere of that cohesive attraction, whicli
binds the Democratic party together ? Or have
they struck hands in a bargain, and thrown them,
selves into the arms of the New York Softs, whom
they declared unfit to be recognized as component
parts of aHy party organization not hostile to the
South ? Are such men and journals to be trusted
by the South? Out ofthiue own mouth shalt thou
be condemned. The article of the Constitutional
ist quoted above, concludes as follows :
“Has Mr. Stephens ever retracted the sentiments
contained in his Texas annexation speech ? If he
has we have never seen it. Was he sincere then,
or was Ills object to please the anti-slavery North ?
If he was sincere he is not the man for the South.
If he was not sincere he is a selfish and dangerous
demagogue, who pampers Northern fanaticism, for
his own selfish ends at the expense of the rights and
safety of the people among whom he lives.”
Has the Constitutionalist retracted its sentiments
of 1851, expressed above? If not, then, letting it
be the judge, Mr. Stephens is either a traitor to the
place of his nativity, or a selfish and dangerous
demagogue. If the retraction have been made, which
shall we believe, the Constitutionalist of 1851, or
the Constitutionalist of 1856? Union.

Hyperion School.
The undersigned having been appointed a Com
mittee to attend the First Annual Examination and
Exhibition of the “Hyperion School,” under the
control of Rev. A. R. Calloway, and Rev. T. N.
Rhodes, Associate, submit the following Report:
The “Hyperion School” is located in Meriwether
county, two miles west of Greenville, Ga., in a
beautiful and rural district, that strongly reminded
us of the Arcadian Groves of Classic Greece—a
most lovely place for building up a permanent in
stitution of learning, that shall bo free from all the
vices and unwholsome infiuences of a town. The
School consisted of about thirty young men and
lads, pursuing the various branohea of an English
and Classical education.
The classes in Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and
Trigonometry', all sustained themselves in the most
creditable manner, evincing a thorough and accu
rate understanding of the principles and their prac
tical application, over which they had passed during
the session.
In this department we feel confident, that the pu
pils have received laborious and attentive instruc
tion from their faithful and accomplished instruc
tors.
Much was also done in the department of English
Reading and Vocal culture, and the Teachers de
serve great praise for their past efforts ; but we
cannot pass over this part of the very interesting
exercises, without remarking that, in our opinion,
much more yet remains to oe done. To make a
good reader is so important a part of every young
man’s scholastic training, that too much cannot be
said in its favor. Under the present system of
teaching, where Mathematics and Ancient Lan
guages occupy so much of the pupil’s time, too fre
quently we find the superior classical scholar but an
indifferent reader of his own language. This should
not be so, and we predict that, in the Hyperion
School, tliis department will continue to receive the
attention it so justly deserves.
In the classical department we found the various
classes in Virgil, Horace, Cicero, Herodotus and
Homer, (although the most severe tests were ap
plied to sound the depth of their scholarship, and
the firmness of their self-reliatoe,) ever ready with
prompt and accurate responses, and even desirous,
at times, of courting opposition from the Commit
tee.
In taking our leave of these highly gratifying
manifestations of the eminently succeastul nature
of a school concluctfcd on the independent principle,
free from ail partisan influence, and inefficient direc
torship of unqualified Trustees, we would assure
the patrons of the Hyperion School, that we found
the pupils eager for instruction,' and the teachers
both ready ana fully competent to minister to their
mental wants; and we would ’ r -i4>ecuujly suggest
to all living within u *ea«onable* distance of this
young, but rigorous institution, to cherish it with
that 'devotion that should characterise a people
tuily awake to their greatest public ana private in
terests. Nothing tetter serveh to keep alive broth
erly love and qend forth a pure and harmonious in
fluence in a community, than a school of this charac
ter. buffer, then, no personal animosity, no parti
san strife, no sectarian views, {y d>rfect your united
stfenglh for the support of an enterprise ao noble,
eo meritorious, so permanent in its influence.

GROCERIES.—Business in evory department is very
quiet Very little doing in the Grocery trade. Tho
Stocks, however, are very good, and will soon bo heavy.
Prices remain as previously quoted for all the leading ar
ticles, and we refer to quotations as a fair Index to
prices.
PROVISIONS. —Bacon continues ilrm with a fair de
mand. Flour is rather dull and prices oasy. No specu
lative demand
GRAIN.—Corn has still further advanced, but tho
sales are confined to small lots. No speculation, and
large lots could not be sold at our quotations. Wheat is
lower. See quotations.
EXCHANGE. —Chocks on the North 1 per cent, pre
mium.

proved tho river a little, but it Is rapidly receding, and
navigation is very difficult.
Liverpool Market.
Extracts of Letters received by the Canada.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. I.—The Cotton market opened
quietly with a fair demand, but in consequence of tho fa
vorable harvest prospects, the business has Increased
during the last few days, Exporters and Speculators
joining the home demand to a fair extent. Importers
have met the markot willingly. Prices are but slightly
higher iu American descriptions, nor can we make any
change iu our quotations for Brazils, Egyptians and Su
rats, all of which experience a good demand. We quote
Orleans middling 6 5 -16 U; fail- 6}; Mobile middling
6 3-16 d; fair6|d; Uplands middling 6 3 lod; lair 6gd;
ordinary to good ordinary of all, 4sda's«d. Sales to day
12,000 bales, including 4UOO bales for export, &c. Mar
ket very steady.
The Manchester market is firm but the business done
is limited. The overland advices which are just to hand
may perhaps give an impu’se. In Yarns a fair business
is doing at fall pricos. The weather is now all that,
couhl be desired. Harvesting will soon begin in the
South, a few samples of early Wheat have already been
exhibited in tho Loudon market. The country markets
are dull and lower. — StolUrfoht, Frost 6f Co.

Died at her father’s residence in Jackson county, Oa.,
on tho 11th August, 1856, ELIZABETH EVALINE
SOWELL.
She was bom May 31st, 1827; embraced religion aud
joined the Methodist Episcopal Church the lith year
of her age She was devoted, kind and affectionate to
her parents and brother. She delighted iu visiting tho
sick and waiting upon them. We trust she was an hum
ble and devoted Christian, and we mourn hut not with
out hope. Our loss we hope is her eternal gain. Our
Elizabeth, we confidently believo, Is happy in Heaven,
while her body sleeps sweetly In the grave until the re
surrection morn.
WILLIAM H. WADE.
This much beloved and honored brother, deceased on
the sth day of August, after an illness of abont threo
weeks, in the 57th year of his ago, at his residence in
Blakely.
He was baptized in Seriven county near thirty years
ago, and soon after was ordained a deacorv i "speak
the words of truth and soberness” when I say Brother
Wade was no ordinary man.
As a citizen, he wits public spirited—every enterprise
that promised good, met his favor and support His sa
gacity, his liherality, his wealth and his untiring energy,
placed him in front in the execution of every i nprove*
ment, whether political, eduoational or religious.
He was positive in all things, negative in nothing.
As a politician, he was Ann aud unyielding —his cau
tion and sagacity weighed well the consequences of eve
ry step before it was taken, aod hence he never receded.
He was manly and generous, never conceited—hi* rule
was, right is might.
He was eminently social, and was therefore much be
loved. His sociality was not the result of a desire for
popular favor, but tho natural impulso of a generous and
philanthropic heart.
Jlis benevolence sought cut in his vicinity every abode
of want and suffering. He will long live in the grateful
remembrance of all the poor whose good fortune it was
to know him. “ Blessed is he that considereth the poor.”
As a Christian, as a Church member, he was a most
Invaluable man. By using woll the office of a deacon,
he had purchased to himself a good degree, and great
boldness in the faith.
His Bible was his principal book—he was familiar
with its holy teachings —and as it became his counsellor,
he imbibed its pure sentiments, endeavored to, conform
his life to its pious instructions, and to fiec-ome assimila
ted into the spiritual likeness of its blessed Author.
No sacrifice of time oy money was too great to make
for his Church ; he was its servant for Christ's sake.
His paator 1 * wants were his constant care—his
Church’s necessities were his daily burdens, no might
truly have said of the Church,
“ For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend.
To her my toils and care* he given
Till toiiH and cares shall end.”
At home, he was, like Jacob, surrounded by bis sons,
v. ho did him honor. The wife of his first love, honored
the husband whose great soul was filled with the tender
est regard for her. Here was mutual tenderness, affec
tion, concession and dignity. Each made the other’s
care his own.
May the shadows now resting upon the sorrow-stricken
survivors be succeeded by the light of ‘‘the better land.”
Let the sons never forget tho many pious admonitions
of their nalnted Father; let them ever emulate his con
stant piety and noble deeds, that have made hie life a
continued scene of usefulness.
May his bereaved brethren of the siak*ly Church, fol
low him as he followed Christ, and learn lessons of wis
dom and piety from this inscrutable dispensation us its
Great Head
But, ere this has his happy spiel; met i»* reward in
Heaven.
He died as be lived, fu’M of faith that through riches of
grace in Chris;, he would rest from his labors, and be for
ever with the Lord.
M O, let us meet in Heaven.”
