will be dashed upon the - breakers. It is .evident; Again : we who cannot see aught of equality or
that the admission of California will be subversive jattice ia the “ Senate” plan of adjustment,
of tbe Missouri Compromise. To uphold the one
ia to eschew the other. The latter, though highly
objectionable, and in conflict with the organic law ot
tbe land, has become tolerable by loag sufferance,
and is, ia my view, under the peculiar circumstan
ces which environ us, oar rock aad oar fort teas.
There are other objections to the admission of
California, which, though of a subordinate grade,
are yet worthy of serious consideration, and which
will, wherever honesty and foie dealing art prop
erly estimated, exert a legitimate influence.—
Sufficient disclosures have already been mads, to
satisfy any reasoeabts man, net Winded by party
rancor, that the organization af'OMjfcniia, into a
Stott, was the offspring ol fraud*-aud usurpation.
The deed was fraudulent, because the population
was numerically deficient, transitory and ubiqui
tous-composed of a motley collection of outlaws,
refugees and adventurers, alike regardless of gov-
branded asubrefetaanddfeueioeista. Ifitbedis-
anioa to keep within the landmarks of the Coosti-
lation, to iustW upon a faithful cxecatioa of the
bond which connects the States together, and assert

iuto its component elements, of the scehme of ad- Constitution, prohibiting slavery. And we have
justment reported by the Senate committee * u bstaniial reasons for believing, that such allure-
ofthirteen, I am persuaded that instead of the
vociferous laudations it has evoked in oar
midst, the load and indignant tones of determ
ined resistance would resound on all sides. I, air,
an not competent to such a dissection of the iniqui
tous measure as would unmask its hideous deform
ity. All I design to do, (for it ia all I am able to)
is to direet the attention of yourself and readers to a
few of its most revolting features.
The first item in this plan of settlement (I will
not insult your understanding by calling it a com
promise) ia tbe bill for the admission of California.
And here, at the first step of the investigation,
arises an obstacle which, to the real friends rf the
Sonlh, is insurmountable. I will say nothing of
the preponderance which the creation of another
anti-slavery State will impart to the Northern
scale; though this, of 'itself, would constitute an
unwarrantable procedure, it having been the invari
able practice, from the adoption of the Constitution,
to admit aimultaneonaly into the Confederation a
free and a a'ave. -State. If, however, the South,
impelled by a sincere and unaffected desire
serve harmonious and fraternal relations between ml)
section*, should waive this objection, weighty
though it be, 1 opine no credit would be accord
ed; on the contrary, unworthy motives would be im
puted for her forbearance. Tha destruction, then,
-of the present equilibrium between tbe North acd
South, by the introduction of an additional free
State, without tbe usual correlative, would be
I heavy blow, but the admission of California, with
| the boundaries-delineated io her Constitution,
would be a vital thrust.
Some thirty years sgo, the Union, from centre to
dreamft-rentr, wna uaftraleed -by thr aeftathor pf
this rame subject. Tbe South, in the exuberance of
her generosity, and urged by a prue and aeli-sacri-

We publish below tbe proceedings of the Plank
Road Meeting held in ClarkeavlUe last' week
from which jt will be seen that, aa we remarked
e time ago, the people of tbe up-conntry i

outlet to market, but that failing to meet with aid
aod co-operation io these quarters, they would
seek assistance elsewhere. U will he seen by the
measure* adopted at the Clarkesvillc meeting, that
they are now determined to pet the matter to the
test, acd see who will help them.
We have many reasons for believing that if
they meet with adequate encouragement at home,
there are many considerations (State pride, among
others) that would indues them to give Athens
the preference new AadeeiotfC.H. as the termin

ments were not withheld. Now, as to usurpation,
it will not bo denied—if it he, the fact will sooner
or later, be established beyond all cavil—that the
California Constitution was concocted at Wash
ington, by Gen. Taylor’s Cabinet, with or without
his knowledge and consent—probably the latter—
and transmitted to his military Governor, Gen.
Rilct, with instructions to secure its adoptiou by
any and all means. The dreaded Wilmot Proviso
»»**/ be staved off. Tbe Hero of Buena Vista
could stand unterrified, the charge of the Mexican
hordes, but quailed and turned bis back, before
anti-slavery batteries, manned and served by such
eo as Sxwsan and Bertox.
The North has the power to make and unmake
Presidents—her favor is life to the political aspi
rant—her frown death. Ambitious designs prevail
over law and right—and the North must be pro
pitiated, il though it be, at tbe price of the dis
franchisement of the South. A proclamation sum
moning the denizens of California into Conven
tion, and a ready-made slop-shop Constitution—both
fabricated at Washington, and looking exclusively
to the conciliation or Northern support—were dis
patched to Gen. Taylor’s military viceroy. The
people most interested were allowed no volition—
military rule would brook no cootrariety of opin
ion ; tbe form of government previously prepared,
was thrust upon; them it was that, or nothing. They
were not allowed to profit by territorial pupilage—
not even to passthrough the chrysalis stags; safe
and lime-honored requirements and usages were
disregarded, and all to accomplish the unhallowed
ends of an imbecile administration.
In confirmation of what I allege, I will quote
an extract from * speech ot Mr. fbote, on tbe Sad
Jan., in the Senate of the Unite# States.
I bad heretofore recognised the honorable gen-
firing love for the Federal league, acquiesced in an j tfeman ar a regular and diligent 'reader of news-
adjustment dignified whh tha title of •« Missouri, P*P*ra, and should have supposed it hardly poasi-

of her birthright—she voluntarily relinquished her j roost certainly I did, that a member of the Califor-
claim • boundless domain, to which, excepting *■ “ia Convention itself (Mr. Bona) rose op
tha territory restricted by tbe ordinance of ’87,] place, just at that precise moment when General
the had a clear and indefeasible title, under eveiy
rational and unjaundiced construction of tbe fed
erative compact. Yet, lor the sake of peace—to
still tbe angry waves ot aechooal discord—and to
cement tbe tics of brotherhood—in the spirit of en
thusiastic devotion, sire lays her offering oa tbe al
tar of the Union. Her want of' sagacity, though
to be lamented, finds a complete atonement in the
magnanimity which prompted the oblation. Had
she been duly mindful of the salutary monitions of
history, sht would thencu have - learned that there
-Riley vacated tbe chair in the Convention, which
he had continued to occupy daring its whole ses
sion, and said, in substance, that he felt authorised
to state the tact that coercive power bad been em
ployed to bring about tbe state of things then ex
isting in California, and that tlie constitution then
about to be adopted had been forced upon the peo
ple of California. He charged further that orders
had been given, in the most solemirand imposing
manner, by the powers at Washington, that unless
auch constitution as was adopted sboald be to tbe
-existed in power, of whatever degree or description, j |**te of certain high personages here—perhaps

valuable to him. What m the design of
striving against the impingement—yea,
the demolition of imprescriptible franchises incor
porated and ensconced in tbe fundamental law of
the Unioo—which brought the Union into being—
which is, in truth, the. Union itself. To presetve 1 will build up Charleston,
intact, this tandamenial law, and consequently the
Union (its synonym) is the end and aim of all
our exertions. Seward, Hale it Co., rush madly on
—lashed forward by a new-born transcendentalism,
which, soaring above all written constitutions and
compacts, derides and scorns all duties, and all
obligations, human and divine. Have I succeed
ed in nutking tbe distinction dear t We would
conserve—they would sacrifice—the highest
and dearest interests ot humanity, to the hallucina
tion of a distempered fancy. Which is right !-
Can a truthful and candid man trace o similitude
ot views or cuds ? You will have perceived, Mr.
Editor,.ibaU advocate tbe re-adoption of the Mis
souri Compromise, as by far preferable to any plan
that has yet been devised, for restoring quiet
agitated Republic; and although tbe repetition bus
already become irksome to yoa, still f
in order to avoid the appearance of incon
sistency, that notwithstanding I regard that
ire aa haying opened a flood-gate, through w
torrent of exactions has poured down'upon the
South: yet, iu the present concatenation of af&ira,
it is the palladium of our safety—we will abide by
it, because our troth is plighted. AH the Southern
Slates have stood on this platform, without dissen
sion, and they can do so again, and it ia now ap
parent, that His tbe only one, on which they can
stand—all the concessions we can ever make are
therein contained; if the North stretch her power
beyond this, it will be an encroachment, which the
security of our property—which our very exis
tence, will imperatively demand that we should
meet with a prompt and determined resistance-
That the Southern people will do so, regardless of
consequences, no man who has studied their char
acter, can, for a moment doubt.
My comments upon the two rcmanribf Bills re» ;
ported to the Senate must be deferred to a future
period. Let K suffice for tbe present, to say, that
tha one respecting the recapture of fugitive slaves,
does nothing but dole out to us sheer justice, and
no member of either house of Congress can refuse
to vote for it, without violating his oath of office.
But, cut bono! Who so silly as to believe, that it
can be executed—that the exquisite moral sense of
the North, will tolerate ha enforcement t Tbe last
bill proposes to abolish the slave maria ip the Dis
trict of Columbia. A radical objection to this, ex
ists in the fact, that it vesta Congress with juris
diction over the subject of slavery, which is tbe
pivot upon which the whole conlrovetsy turns.—
When we shall abandon the position, that the
whole matter is beyond the reach of the National Leg
islature, we bad as well lay down our
surrender at discretion. Our citadel will then
have been carried. In addition to this, such
act is-unnecessary; for the object could be attain
ed in a mode equally efficient, and not offensive,
by tbe municipal authorities of the District; they
could, if they saw fit, impose p prohibitory impost
upon every slave exposed Sot sale, within their
limits, and thus the design could be accomplished
without un assault appn Southern sensibilities.
I have, sir, attempted a taint sketch of tbe s
era! features of that tout ensemble which seems
to have riveted the admiring gaze of so many
among oa. Three, of the four bills, if enacted
into laws, will prove ruinous and. degrading—the
other is tbe giMed bait, that conceals the book. I
tru*t the Southern people will deliberate fong and
anxiously before they commit themselves to the
••Senate’s" plan; if they endorse it, by their appro
val, I conscientiously believe, they will, in doing so,
bow their necks to the yoke, and extend their aims
for the manacles. « - . •
And now, Mr- Editor, in conclusion, if In the
jejune mass of reflections J have submitted, you
will point out any error or errors—any wroog pro-
false conclusions—I will, with the utmost
cheerfulness, acknowledge and recaaL Every
man should for mend express an opinion, upon die
unfortunate condition of our country, and bestir
df to avert tbe impending catastrophe. I am in
potseit of truth and nothing else, slleit, 1 may be
guided ty. the dim lights ol my own understanding.
It therefore behoves the people of Athens and
Augusts and the Georgia Railroad Company, all
of whom are deeply (and some of them vitally) in
terested in tbe proposed work, to be np and doing
.ad whatever is done, should be done quickly—
procrastination will destroy every thing. We
have been surprised to observe that the Augusta

Well said, friends and brothers of Columbus; we
shake hands with you over that; from tbe bottom of
our hearts, we respond omen. You have laid the.
axe at the root of the evil, that overshadows us. If
you will only stand up to that, oil will be well, and
the South will triumph—gloriously triumph! Dis
card from your service, those drivelling pistareen
politicians, who, despairing from a consciousness of
their demerit, to attain place by Southern support,
hope to gain a temporary elevation, by truckling to
the Northern majority. The people are being fully
roused up, to a sense of their danger. An ava
lanche has commenced rolling, which will sweep
away the timid and the vascillating. This is no
time to falter or to parley. Those who are not for
us now, are against us. The touch-stone mast
now be applied. Office holders, and all who would
be, stand up, and look upon the poeplel No dodging
and shuffling! Every third man among us, wishes
lobe Governor; Judge ur Legislator,

io your prospects. The tide is rising, and if
you do not quickly put yourselves on it, it may
leave you high and dry. At the North, a so
n of partiality to the cause of the South,

since, in the Senate, Mr. Hale, of N. Hampshire,
remarked, that every Northern member of Con- To l! icco
gress who voted for the Missouri Compromise in
stantly sunk to such a depth in infamy, that even
the power of resurrection could not reach him. Our
very saltation requires that we should imbibe and
foster this same sectional spirit. The necessity is
to be deplored, but Mis indispensable to self-defence.
The would-be-great-man, who in this emergency,
wavers for a single moment, in fealty to the South,
will never hereafter, be trusted by the people.
This will be the firm resolution of nine out of ten,
the State through, as well as that of

Woman's Klgbto AfalS.
The Baltimore Sun says:—A meeting
held in Boston on Thursday, Mrs. Paulina Wright
Davis, of Providence, in the chair, lor the purpose
if considering the propriety of a “ Woman’s Rights
Convention,” to be held sometime during the com
ing year.
One Miss Lucy Stone advocated the right of
suffrage being extended to women, and contended
that their rights were human rights. The lady
was decidedly in favor of immediate action.—*
William Lord Garrison took the same ground,
and wished that he could see one half of the mem
bers of Congregs, and one half of the members of
our Legislatures, women. Men talked ten times
more decently before women, and so he bad no
doubt women did before men. (A gallant hiss
from the youug men at the last sentiment, as cham
pions of female propriety.) A committee of seven
females was appointed to make arrangements for
the coming convention.
CHEERING NEWS FOR THE SICK.
WhitesviUe, N. Y„ July 10,1848.
Mr. Seth W. Fowle: Dear Sir—It is with pleasure
I write you this certificate stating mv experience in
the use of Dr. W'ibtar’s Bahnmof Wild Cherry. Ia
November last I was taken with a severe cough. My
lungs were much affected, so much that it was with
difficulty I could breathe. Hearing of your Balsam,
I procured and took part of one bottle; tad to my
utter astooishment, my lungs were freed and my cough
cured. I am happy to recommend this Balsam of
.Wild Cherry to the public as one of the best medi
cines for coughs and colds I ever used.
VVM. SWIFT.
Now that this preparation is well known to be a
more certain cure for incipient Consumption, Asthma,
ipaint, Coughs, Bronchitis, and all similar
. than any other remedy ever known, there
will be and now are found those so villanously wicked
as to concoct a spurious, and perhaps poisonous
tore, and try to palm it off as the genuine Balsam,
raise no false alarm. We advise the public of these
schemes, that their health may nci be trifled with,
ourselves plundered of our just rights.
