WEDN’SDi If MOBN’G, NOV. 21, 1860,
Public JWectina; iu Greene County.
Greexesboro, Nov. 16, 1860.
Agreeably to previous notice, a public meeting
of the citizens of Greene county, Ga., irrespective
of party, was this day held in the Court House at
Greensboro, to take into consideration the great
National questions of the day.
The meeting was organized by calling Col. G.
I\ King to the Chair. On motion of Reuben J.
Dawson, Esq., Hon. Thos Stocks and Dr. Thomas
N. Poullain were appointed Vice-Presidents, and
Frederick C. Fuller and Shelton P. Sanford were
requested to act as Secretaries. Col. King on
taking the Chair, addressed the meeting in a lew
appropriate and patriotic remarks.
On motion of Prof. 11. 11. Tucker, a Committee
of seven was appointed to prepare business for
the action of the meeting. I uder this resolution
the following named gellemen were appointed .
Messrs. 11. U. Tucker, W. W. D. Weaver, I>md
S. Terrell, Philip B. Robinson, Archibald Perkins,
James N. Armor andJamesß. Hart.”
The Committee having retired, Dr. N. M. Craw
ford President of Mercer University, was called
upon to express his views. Dr. C. addressed the
meeting iu a speech replete with patriotic senti
ment He advanced conservative and statesman
like views of public policy, maintaining the right
of a State to secede as unquestionable, aud recom
mending constitutional resistance to Northern
aggression, but if such resistance failed to secure
a recognition and guarantee of our rights, to
maintain them at all hazards hud by force of arms.
It was eloquent and impressive, and was listened
to bv the vast audience, with profound respect
and breathless attention. The Committee then
reported the following Preamble and Resolu
tions :
Whereas, the election of Abraham Lincoln and
Hannibal Hamlin to the Presidency and Vice Pre
sidency of the United States, has taken place on
grounds prejudicial the mterests uml honor of the
Southern portion of the Confederacy, making it
necessary for the people of the South to vindicate
their rights and their positiou before the world;
and whereas, in our opinion such a movement
should originate iu the primary meetings of the
people, aud whereas our fellow-citizens ot various
parts of their State aud of sister States are adopt
ing a similar course: We, therefore, the people of
Greene county, Georgia, for that purpose in pub
lic meeting assembled, have adopted the following
Resolutions expressive of our views, ou the great
and important issues before us :
A\ < > Ist, That we regard the aforesaid elec
tion on the aforesaid grouuds, as a violation of
that comity which ought to subsist between the
different sections of this Union, and us being part
of a policy which must end either iu the degrada
tion of the Southern States from their equality in
toe Union, or iu the total overthrow of this Re
public.
A’ ... Are l, 2d, That the people of the South ought
not to submit, except temporarily, to the policy
which resulted in the said election, and that we
think redress ought to be sought ou terms herein
after to be set forth.
Re solved, 3d, That while our feelings are as
much outraged as those of any of our fellow-citi
zens can be, by the aforesaid election, we do not
think that that election is per se a sufficient cause
for the immediate dissolution of the Union. Our
reasons for this opinion are as follows, viz :
Ist. Because Messrs. Lincoln and Ilamliu have
been Constitutionally elected; and the people of
the South have always claimed to be satisfied with
tie Constitution and with anything constitutional- j
ly done; we ought not, therefore, to resort to re- j
volutionary measures until we have exhausted
Constitutional resources.
L>nd. As it is manifestly contrary to the iute- j
rests of the Northern States to dissolve the Union, ;
and as nearly all their papers assure us, that it is
contrary to their wishes, it is clear that they did ;
not inteud by the election of Abraham Lincoln to
produce that result; that if they had known that j
such would be the result, they would not have ,
elected him , and hence it follows that if the sen- j
timent of the whole South were fairly made ;
known to the Northern people, they ought as far .
as possible to retrace their steps and make satis- j
factory amends; possibly they might do so ; at
least it is proper that we should give them the op
portunity.
Crd. If the Southern States should secede, it is
desirable that they should be united among them
selves ; on the present issue, a large number of j
our citizens, perhaps a majority, could not lend j
their influence to such a movement without a j
violation of both judgment and conscience; j
whereas a deliberate refusal of the Northern peo- 1
p!e in Convention to guarantee to tis our rights,
would unite us all; and so also would a single
overt act of aggression on the part of the Ad
ministration.
4th. It the Southern States secede, 4 should be
so done as to secure the sympathy of a portion at
least of the Northern people, and divide them
among themselves. Ou the present issue they
would be united against us. By sagacious man
agement we can divide them.
sth. if the people of the South should calmly
and earnestly request the people of the North to
guarantee to them those privileges which their
equality in the Union gives them a right to de
mand, it is resonable to hope that some at least,
of the Northern States would comply with the
request thus kindly but firmly made. If enough
of the States should side with us, to incorporate
such changes in the Constitution as would secure
to us all that we desire, we should maintain our
rights aud at the same time preserve the Union ;
or if otherwise, the secession would take place on
the part of the recusant Northern States; the
onus of the movement would theu be ou them,
aud that too under such circumstances, as to de
prive them of even the show of excuse. If there
should Dot be a sufficient number of States in
sympathy with us to make the desired changes
in the Constitution, we should at least have sue- \
cecded in uniting the South, in dividing the
North, and in justifying ourselves before our own
consciences in tire sight of the world, and in the
sight of God.
6th. By such delay and such action as will
throw tbe blame on the North, we shall secure
the sympathy of Foreign Powers, and put our
selves in a fair way to obtain aid from Great Bri
tain and France in case of rupture.
7th. On the other hand, unnecessary or inde
cent haste in so serious a thing as the overthrow
of this Government, besides being intrinsically
wrong, would cut us off from sympathy in all di
rections. Mr. Lincoln has been elected over tbe
opposition of nearly two-thirds of the people of
the United States, and a majority of both Houses
of Congress will be in opposition to his Adminis
tiatiou. It will, therefore, not be iu his power to
act iu prejudice of Southern rights, interests or
honor, so speedily as to make it necessary for us
to proceed at once to dissolve the Union.
Bth. The people of the South, though they have
long been hearing of disunion, have in general re
garded it as nothing more than the watch cry of po
liticians , and thousands do still so regard it / and
while a few coutideutly expect and desire dis
union, yet the masses of the people are unpre
pared for it in feeling ; aud not only so, but what
is worse, no preparation has been made for a sepa
rate government. The State governments would
be wholly inefficient for national purposes, and
we should be temporarily at least, in a condition
bordering on anarchy and not far from ruiu.
tnli In case of disunion, it is absolutely neces
sary we should be in a condition to defend our
selves from attack ; and at present we are almost
wholly defenceless. To incur the risk of war,
when we have no means of sustaining a single
campaign, would be madness. To say nothing of
the enormous expenditures that would be neces
sary, proper military preparations could not be
made without considerable consumption of time.
10th Up to the present hour no effort has ever been
made by the people of the United States, as such,
to reconcile their differences. I’ohticiaus aud
demagogues ou both sides have made inflammato
ry appeals to the passions of the people, aud in
stead of allaying excitement have stirred it up,
instead of repressing mutual distrust and dislike
have promoted it, instead of removing the causes
of dispute have created them. For the sake of
power and office both parties have pandered to
the passions and prejudices of the people at home,
keeping each section in ignorance of the patriotic,
conservative, aud catholic feelings of the other.
Mutually exasperated by the incendiary and dis
organizing representations of this hungry office
seeking crowd, the two sections find themselves
in a fierce controversy which they had no hand in
bringing on. In the meantime those who origi
nated the strife, are busy ou both sides iu hasten
ing it ou to open rupture aud disunion, in order
that the number of otlices may be doubled, and
their share of the spoils increased. Ourpoliticians
would not settle our differences if they could, aud
could not if they would. It is at least clear that
they have not done it, and that they never will.
If we ever have a peaceful termination of our
troubles, it will be brought about by the people.
Hitherto, tbe people have taken uo action. If
® then we dissolve now, we shall have destroyed the
fair fabric of this Union, which our fathers reared
at such expense of treasure and of blood, without
having made one solitary effort to preserve it. To
deselSiate the altar on which our ancestors pledg
ed their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor; ro overthrow the majestic monument of
their wisdom, genius, and patriotism ; to transmit
to posterity only the fragments of the inheritance
we received from our fathers, without ever hffving
moved a finger to avert tbe ruin, would be barba
rous and monstrous, worthy not of Christian men
but only of Goths and Vandals.
lltb. We owe a duty to mankind as well as to
ourselves. The monarchies of Europe have ever
looked with a jealous eye on the republican insti
tutions of America, and are even now predicting
their downfall. The dissolution of this Union
would seem to be in verification of their predic
tions, as it would certainly be in accordance with
the wishes of the more despotic of them. The
effect on European lovers of liberty would be dis
heartening ; and we know not how great the
shock might be to the progress of free principles
all over the world. There might indeed be cir
cumstances which would make it necessary for us
to relieve ourselves from the difficulties into
which our politicians have brought us, by de
stroying our own republic; but to take this last
■nd awful step—to bring about this tremendous
catastrophe, pronounced, even by Lord Brougham,
to be “ the greatest calamity that could befall tbe
dLltd >■” aud that, without even a movement to-
preventing it, would be recreant to every
trust that we owe to ourselves, to God, or to our
fellow men.
12th. Admitting the necessity of disunion, and
admitting that it could take place without blood
shed, and under the most favorable circumstances;
it must be obvious to every one that the financial
difficulties in which it would involve us, would be
overwhelmingly great. There would be an utter
loss of confidence; holders of Federal aud State
securities would be ruined; Stocks of all descrip
tions would be greatly depreciated or worthless ;
the banks would be” forced to cease their loans,
and probably to suspend specie payments; my
riads of incendiaries among us would diminish tlie
value of our lands and negro property ; men iu
debt as multitudes of our citizeus are, would be
unable to pay, aud if sold out, their property
would be sacrificed aud themselves ruined; busi
ness of every kind would stagnate, and hence vast
numbers of our fellow-citizens now in easy cir
cumstances, would be reduced to poverty ; and at
the very acme of this pecuniary pressure, the de
mands of the new government for money would
be enormous. Our taxes would be doubled aud
redoubled, and increased to a degree which we
have no means of estimating. To raise money
by loans would be in case of peace, difficult if not
impossible, aud in case ot war it would be abso
lutely impossible. The money could come only
from the pockets of the ‘people; and the
share of Georgia would be millions upon millions.
The sum ol one million, which His Excellency
the Governor proposes now to raise, amounts to
nearly ten dollars per head for every voter in the
State. Tet this is nothing to what the future
may develope. Add to this, that our paper money
would be worthless, and that there would be no
buyers for our property, and it is hard to see how
we should raise the immense sums which our ne
cessities would require. We should have a mail
service to establish, public buildings to erect, our
coast to fortify, a navy to build, an army to sup
port, afloat and ashore, and last but not least our
legion of office holders to fatten ; aud all this too
at the very time, when after a summer of univer
sal drought, our cotton crop is unusually short,
aud our supply of provisions wholly insufficient,
without importations from the Northern States,
to keep us from actual waut. The most careless
thinker must perceive, that the pecuniary em
barrassment and domestic distress which must
result from a sudden aud unexpected upheaval
of the whole social fabric, would be such as is
seldom paralleled iu the history of man. With
this appalling prospect, immediate and unpre
meditated destruction of this Government ou the
mere grouud of Mr. Lincoln’s election, or indeed
ou any ground, would argue a puerile indiscretion
and headlong rashness ou the part of the actors,
which would indicate anything but their fitness
for their position, and prognosticate anything but
the success of their operations.
15th. Admitting what has never deeu denied,
that under certain circumstances the Uniou ought
to be dissolved, the sober common sense of all
mankind would decide, that it ought not be done
in a panic or excitement, nor under circum
stances which even give it the appearance of
beiug so done. There should be the appearance
and the reality of deliberation aud dignity in giv
ing the death blow to so great a Republic. Our
fathers were iu a position almost exactly similar
to our own when they dissolved tlie tie that bound
them to Great Britain. For us to take a step of
like, character, without having reference to their
experience and example, would be as unwise, as
irreverent, and prove that we are unworthy des
cendants of noble sires. The course of these sages
of the Revolution was one of great wisdom. “It
received thcafplause of the ablest statesmen of
Europe. The leaders of the colonies were reso
lute but calm and deliberate. They appreciated
fully the difficulty and delicacy of the task im
posed upon them. They laid their plans slowly,
cautiously, and with deep sagacity. It is worth
our while to to trace their cause. They began by
uniting their counsels. No colony seceded alone.
They formed a Congress for joint declaration and
action. The Congress so formed assembled in Sept.
1774. They did not begin by dissolvingthe Union;
they adopted a declaration of rights ; they issued
addresses to the people of the United Colonies, to
those of Canada, and of Great Britain; they peti
tioned the King; they adopted resolutions to im
port no goods from Great Britain and Irelandand
to export none to those countries; they prepaied
arms; they still delayed; they knew that in re
forming abuses, the last step is to dissolve the
Government; they were firm but patient. Boston
was occupied by a British army. The battle of
Bunker Hill was fowght. The victory of Fort
Moultrie was achieved. Still the moderate patri
ots of Congress kept open the door of reconcilia
tion. From September, 1774, to July, 1776, they
made every effort that was honorable to preserve
the Union. They still hesitated to abolish it, even
iu the :-.iidst of battles, sieges, and frequent blood
shed. It was at the end ouly of nearly two years,
when every appeal to the justice, friendship aud
interest, ot’ England had been made in vain, that
; Congress severed the bonds that united the colo
nies to the mother country. There was no boyish
1 petulance, no indecent haste, no blind rushing
; into the mire of revolution, with a vague depend
ence on some contingent J uniter to assist them in
1 getting out of it. The leaders of America were
j statesmen—calm, firm, moderate. They took care
I to secure and establish anew Union before they j
dissolved the old.” [Quoted from the Charleston j
Courier.}
Such was the example of our fathers. Were j
we hastily to dissolve this Union, and that too
without making an effort to preserve it, we should
be disregarding the pregnant teachingsjof our own
history, and setting at naught the example of those
venerable men who founded our government, and
whose far-seeing counsels and brilliant statesman
ship are justly held in admiration by the whole
world.
Having given these reasons why we think the
Union ought not to be hastily dissolved for any
cause, and especially on account of the election of i
Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, and yet feeling j
that our grievances demand redress, we proceed]
now to state what we think is the proper course j
to be pursued. Therefore,
dissolved, Ath. That iu our opinion, the people of
Georgia aud of each ot the Southern States ought
to met-t in Convention at their respective capitals,
to take these great and momentous issues into
consideration ; that ut said convention a platform
should be adopted, by which the people would be
willing to live, and for which they would be wil
ling to die ; that the tone of the proceeding so far
as they have reference to our Northern fellow
citizens, should be courteous and respectful, free
from threats and from violent language, but still
firmly asserting our rights ; and that a copy of
said proceedings be laid before the Governor and
Legislature of each State in the Union.
dissolved, oth, That we think there should be at,
au early day, a Convention of all the people of the
Southern States ; at which Convention, all that
we have to ask at the hands of our Northern
neighbors should be distinctly set forth ; and that
the people of each of the Northern States be re
quested to cull a similar Convention to decide
whether or not they will accede to our wishes.
Until this step is taken, both at the North and
South, no action will ever have been taken by the
people of the United States, as such, to adjust their
differences and manage their own business.
dissolved, Hth, That the demands made in said
Conventions, on the Northern people, ought to be
in accordance with the principles laid down in the
document known as the “ Georgia Platform ;” in
addition to which we ought also to ask the prohi
bition of negro suffrage in the Northern States, so
tar as relates to the election of Federal Officers ;
and that if the Constitution were so amended as
to secure to the people of the South the rights
just specified, they ought to be and would be sat
isfied. We do not mean by this that we ask any
rights additional to those now meant to be secured
to us by the Constitution ; but that we would
have those rights set forth in terms such as our I
Northern fellow-citizens would construe as we do
the Constitution as it is.
/ n v/. Ti.ni iLa k il x Ca.oi.
Resolved, 7th, That if the people of the South
ern States do solemnly agree to make the afore
j said request to the people of tbe Northern States,
i and it said request thus solemnly made is delibe
rately refused by them, then and in that case,
which may heaven avert, we beiieve that the peo
ple of the Southern States should secede from the
Americau Union, peaceably if they can, forcibly
if they must. But even in that case, the act of
secession should not take place, until arrange
ments had been made for a provisional govern
ment, and one too, which might have some reason
able prospect of being able to sustain itself.
dissolved, Bth, That whether we remain in the
Union or secede from it, our present defenceless
condition invites oppression and aggression ; and
that we, therefore, heartilv concur in the recom
mendation of His Excellency the Governor, to
supply the State with arms and munitions of war.
And we further suggest that a portion of this ex
penditure he for artillery, a valuable branch of
military service with which our people are almost
wholly unacquainted ; that the most approved
works on military tactics be purchased, aud sup
plied to the principal officer of every Volunteer
Company ; that the expediency be considered of
employing at State expense, one or more officers
who have seen service, and who are well skilled
in the profession of arms, to instruct our Volun
teers; aud Also, that inquiry be made as to the
expediency and practicability of establishing,
under State or otherwise, manufactories of gun
powder and of fire arms, within the limits of this
State; and lastly, we recommend our fellow-citi
zens to organize volunteer companies in every
county.
Resolved, 97A. That in view of the great and
solemn crisis which is upon us, we request our
fellow-citizens to unite with us in prayer to Al
mighty God, that he would deliver us from dis
cord aud disunion, and above all, from civil war
and from bloodshed ; and that he would so guide
our counsels aud actions, that we may be able to
maintain our rights without revolution.
Resolved, 10th. That our Senator and Repre
sentatives in the Legislature, be requested to lay
these proceedings before the Houses of which
they are respectively members ; and also that said
proceedings be published in the Greenesboro
Gazette, Augusta Constitutionalist, and Augusta
Chronicle, and that all other papers friendly to
the sentiments therein contained, be requested to
copy.
Tbe above preamble and Resolutions were
adopted by an enthusiastic and almost unanimous
vote, some five or six only voting in the negative.
Col. Miles W. Lewis,one of our Representatives
iu the Legislature, happening to be present, was
called upon and responded in a brief address, in
which he took occasion t <f endorse the Preamble
and Resolutions which had just been adopted by
the .meeting, and expressed his disapproval of the
opinion recently advanced, that the Legislature of
Georgia has the power of dissolving the tie that
binds tbe State to the Union ; Col. L. believing
that that power exists only in tbe people.
Prof. Tucker being called upon briefly respon
ded, and closed by recommending tbe people to
take as their watch-ward the beautiful motto on
the Coat-of-Arms of his native State : The “Con
stitution,” supported by “Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation,” which sentiment was greeted with
great applause.
It may not be amiss to add, that during the en
tire proceedings, the Court House was crowded
to its utmost capacity, and it is believed that so
large a meeting has never before been held in the
county.
No further business appearing, the meeting ad
journed sine die.

Public meeting in Hancock County.
At a very large meeting of the citizens of Han
cock county, held at Sparta, on the 17th instant,
Benj. T. Harris, Esq., was called to the Chair,
and Dennis L. Ryan appointed Secretarv. After
the object of the meeting was stated by the Chair,
Dr. E. M. Pendleton offered the following pream
ble and resolutions, which, after some discussion
between the mover, Judges Baxter and Thomas,
and Messrs. Arnold, Lewis and Gonder, were
adopted unanimously :
The South has been at length called upon to
count the value of the Union, and it becomes us
as a primary assembly of her citizens, to weigh
calnily and dispassionately, if possible, the causes
which impel us to action, as well as the liue of
policy which, as patriots and freemen, we should
adopt in this emergency.
A Black Repu rlican has been elevated to the
Chief Magistracy of this nation by an overwhelm
ing but purely sectional vote ; whose opinions,
confessedly, both by himself and his organs, are
of such a nature that the South must, by prompt
and united action, put down Black Republican
rule, as enunciated by Mr. Lincoln in his speeches,
or the Union is at an end.
No tame or submissive measures should be tole
rated for an instant. Already- are the people of
the North deluded by fond but baseless dreams,
into the belief that there is a strong and invinci
ble party at the South, who will stand by them
and Lincoln at all hazards. Let us not feed this
hurtful delusion, but by all possible means dis
abuse them of so baseless aud fatal an opinion,
and iu order to this, we would recommend to our
Legislature to pass by unanimous vote such re
taliatory laws as they iu their wisdom may devise,
so as to touch the pocket nerve of the North, and
to awaken in their minds once more, a proper
sense of public justice.
We would further recommend the putting down
of all partyism at the South, of crimination and
recrimination ou past and obsolete issues, and the
building up of a consolidated and united public
sentiment, of equality iu the Union or indepen
dence out of it.
And further, while wc yield to each State in the
Uniou the right of secession, we would deprecate
the precipitate and hasty action of any Southern
State in using this power without a proper con
cert of action with other States. We would,
therefore, recommend the call of a convention of
all the slave States, to meet at as early a day as
practicable, to lay down such guarantees for our
future safety as may be deemed by them advisa
ble. Let us not be too hasty, let us be united, let
us be prepared by the establishment of armories
and efficient military organizations throughout
the country. Let us turn our commerce through
our own sea-ports indirect trade with England,
France and Belgium, aud then if the Northern
masses do not speedily put dowu the Black Re
publican rule of this country, (for it rests with
them,) if they do not abolish their unconstitution
al laws in fining aud imprisoning our citizens when
they attempt to rescue their fugitive slaves, if
they do not cease to irritate our national Repre
sentatives and this whole Nation in the balls of
Congress about the domestic institutions of States
over which they have no control, let our rallying
cry be, from the Ohio to the Gulf, and from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, “To your tents, O !
Israel!”
Then could we go out of the Union, if need be,
with flying banners to the music of Equality and
Independence, if uot of the Constitution and the
Union, respected and feared by our enemies, jus
tified in the sight of all the nations of the earth ;
and if it becomes necessary for us to defend our
firesides from Northern aggression, (of which we
have no fears,) we could cheerfully, as a Christian
people, leave the issue to the God of battles and
our strong right arms.
Judge Thomas then introduced the following
resolutions, which after a heated discussion on the
first resolution, was finally adopted by a majority
vote :
dissolved, That the election of Lincoln, if he be
constitutionally elected, is no cause for the separa
tum of the Uniou of these United States.
dissolved, That whilst we have just cause to fear
that from the election of Lincoln as President of
the United States, new aggressions will take place
on the rights of the slaveholding States, rights
which are sacred to them, and for which they are
ready to hazard their lives and their property ;
yet we feel bound in prudence and justice to wait
until our rights under the General Government
shall be violated by some act violative of the prin
ciples laid down in the Georgia Platform.
Resolved, That the State laws of .Massachusetts
and other new slaveholding States, upon the sub
! ject of fugitive slaves are in violation of the
| spirit of the Constitution of the United States,
i aud ought long before this, and at their passage,
to have caused Georgia to have passed retaliatory
I laws such as she had the power Constitutionally
| to pass. We should have preferred those laws to
have been passed before this time, when the world
could not have misunderstood our motives. Still
we think retaliatory laws should be passed by the
Legislature of Georgia, uot to be retaliatory
against the General Government, but against the
States who have or may pass these obnoxious and
unconstitutional laws.
ditsolved, That the present Legislature of Geor
} gia has no power whatever to withdraw the State
|of Georgia from ihe General Government, more
tl:an this public county meeting, aud should any
I of our Representatives from this county favor
! such a move in the Legislature, we will utterly
disapprove of such illegal uct.
On motion, it was
dissolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the Augusta and Milledgevillo pa
pers, and a copy be furnished our Representatives
in the Legislature.
The meeting ihen adjourned.

Sparta, Ga., Nov. 17tb, 1860.
Although my name appears as Secretary of this
meeting, 1 do uot endorse the first resolution, of
fered by Judge Thomas. Dennis L. Ryan.
Tight Tillies.
The stringency in money matters which now
characterizes our commercial community, was not
exceeded by the incidents of the panic of 1857.
Not arising, it is true, from any actual want of
capital to conduct and promote business relations,
but from the uncertainty and suspense which pre
vails in regard to the action of other moneyed
institutions with which we are so intimately con
nected. That our banks are perfectly solvent no
one doubts, and that their course is one dictated
by the simplest feeling of prudence, is too plain
to cause a question. Under such a state of cir
cumstances, it seems the positive duty of our
Legislature, now in session, to grant to them the
right of suspension for a certain length of time.
It may not be necessary for them to take this
step, and we believe they are all in a condition to
avoid il, but if they are forced to the latter, it will
beat the cost of much distress and sacrifice on
the part of our whole State. South. Carolina has
already provided for the emergency, and it she
takes advantage ol it while our banks arc bound
up so closely by legal restrictions, our own cur
rency will be driven home, and this State supplied
with bills from another State where more liberal
laws protect such vast interests as are involved in
this matter. If the Carolina banks cau suspend,
and we cannot, we will have to import specie at
oui expeuse lor theii beuefit; for they will gather
up all our currency und send it in for redemption
—thus restricting our facilities while fortifying
themselves, aud attracting to their cities the com
merce which belongs to our own.
We repeat agaio, it is not a positive necessity
for our banks to suspend, but it is a necessity to
the people that they should do so. The constant,
daily appeals made to them ure of a character
which render refusals painful ; but self preserva
tion insists that refusals must be made. If they
hud this power to suspend ut a moment’s notice,
so that the Carolina hanks could have uo advan
tage over them, they could let their mouey out;
for so long as there is no drain ou them to supply
the specie beyond the wants of their own transac
tions, they are in a spleudid condition to meet it.
But with Carolina and Georgia both to supply, it
is utterly out of the question to suppose that they
will attempt it. It is a mistaken policy to treat
banks as though they were note shavers and
usurers. It is true they should not be given too
much rope, but when they Ripply the medium
fur doing the business, and do it ou a solvent and

Tribute of Keapect.
At a meeting of the Students of the Mt. Zion
High School on the 14th of November, 1860, the
following preamble and resolutions were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas, In the dispensation of an all-wise
Providence, this Institution has been once mote
called upon to mourn the loss of a member, Miss
Mary M. Pearson, we would offer this tribute ol
our regard aud affection to her memory. Few
have passed away more loved or more deplored,
endowed as she was, with those kind and social
virtues which command our esteem and win our
affection. These rendered her the agreeable and
warm-hearted schoolmate, inasmuch as they shall
cause her memory to be cherished and embalmed
in our hearts. \Vhile we deeply lament the catas
trophe which has removed her from us, just as she
entered the portico of life, we would bow submis
sively to that hand which dealt the blow, and be
encouraged from the example which she has left
us, and which only pure and unqualified Christians
can leave, to trust that she is safely housed in the
mansions of everlasting blis# Therefore,
dissolved, That we deeply sympathize with the
parent and relatives of our deceased shoolmate in
their deep affliction.
Resolved, That the übu&l badge of mourning
be worn by the students of this school, for the
space of thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of the Resolutions he
transmitted to the’motheribt the deceased—also to
the Christian Index and Chroniclo & Sentinel for
publication.

Athens, Ga., Nov. 17,1860.
According to the call of more than two hundred
citizens, portions of the people of Clarke, Ogle
thorpe, Madison, Jackson and Banks counties,
assembled in the Town Hall of Athens, which was
filled to the utmost capacity and overflowing.—
The meeting was organised by appointing Ex-
Gov. Wilson Lumpkin, President, and James C.
Branch, Vice President, and the following Secre
taries, to wit: M. M. Sheats of Clarke co„ D. G.
Candler of Banks, B. H. Bullock, J. S. Hunter of
Jackson, and Jacob Phinizy of Oglethorpe.
The meeting was addressed by the venerable
President, in a manner which was warmly ap
plauded, urging concert and united action on the
part of the people of Georgia.
Prayer having been previously offered to the
Throne of Grace by the Rev. Dr. Hovt, Hou. As
bury Hull moved for the appointment of a com
mittee to report business for the meeting, consist
ing of fifteen gentlemen, to-wit: Asbury Hull,
Isaac S. Vincent, Y. L. G. Harris, A. B. Cobb, T.
M. Daniel, Wm. L. Mitchell, Dr. 11. R. J. Long,.
W. M. Ashe, Washington Arnold, Stevens Ihom
as, Dr. M. S. Durham, W. Y. Elder, Noah W.
Pittman, Dr. R. I). Moore and John Hunter.
The Committee retired, each person present,
being allowed to read or hand to the Committee
anv resolution, for their consideration.
During the absence of the Committee, the meet
ing was addressed in a forcible manner, by Mr. P.
E. Moore. Dr. Hoyt was then called out, and ad
dresssd the meeting, with deep solemnity and
force, and was interrupted by the return of the
Committee, who, through their chairman, sub
mitted the report copied below, as the unanimous
action of the committee, which he advocated with
the deepest gravity aud earnestness, which, be
ing done, the Rev. Dr. Hoyt was requested te re
sume his address. After which, the Rev. J. W.
Hinton was called out aud addressed the meeting
in un elaborate argument, urging immediate ac
tion.
lie was listened to with profound attention, aud
at the close of his address, T. R. li. Cobb, Esq.,
was loudly called for, aud ascended the stand
amid prolonged applause, and for two hours en
chained the attention of every man in the crowded
assembly, urging immediate separation by Geor
gia, as necessary to her interests, her honor, her
safety, and as a preventive of civil war, and the
great measure ol peace and deliverance. At the
conclusion of bis address, the report of the com
mittee was agreed to, without a dissenting voice,
as follows :
The Committee of Fifteen submit to the meet
ing the following report and resolutions :
lhe election of Lincoln and Hamlin to the Pre
sidency and Vice-Presidency of the L T uited States,
has brought on a crisis in the Southern States,
which demands their firm, united and determined
action.
To be coutroled by a party strictly sectional,
whose principles and legislation aee hostile to our
interests, our rights and our safety, is not to be
tolerated. A Union so destitute of fraternity and
good fellowship as ours has now become, is not
worth preserving. Therefore,
dissolved, That this meeting concurs in the
opinion that the Legislature of Georgia, now in
session, should call a convention of delegates to
meet and determine upon the mode and measure
of redress.
dissolved, That in our opinion, the Convention,
when assembled, having determined the course of
action proper to. be taken by the sovereign State
of Georgia, should earnestly invite the co-opera
tion of our sister Southern States to unite with us
in forming a Confederation ou the basis of our
present Constitution.
dissolved. That we recommend, in the selection ■
ot delegates to the proposed Convention, that par- I
ty feeling be eschewed, and that all parties be
fairly represented by their wisest aud most dis
creet men.
dissolved, That in our opinion, the Governor
and Legislature should take eveiy care aud pre
caution to place the Stale in a positiou to meet
any emergency which may arise.
dissolved, That we remember with gratitude, and
shall ever cherish the remembrance, the noble
efforts of the friends of constitutional equality
throughout the Northern States, who co-operated
with us iu an earnest effort to save the Govern
ment from falling into the hands of fanatical trai
tors to the Constitution.
dissolved, That we do, in an especial manner, re
turn our heart felt thanks to tnc sovereign State
of New Jerser, which, so far as we now know, is
the only iiMi-slavehol ring State which has voted
agaiust the Black Republicans. All houor to her!
“Among the faithless, faithful only she!”
The report beiug unanimously agreed to, three
cheers were given over the result. And three
cheers were proposed and given for Mr. Cobb,
three for the State of Georgia, three for Gov.
Lumpkin, three for licv. Mr. lliuton and three
for Rev. Dr. Hoyt.
Then on motion of Wm. L. Mitchell Esq., the
papers of this place were requested to issue Ex
tras on Monday morning, containing the pro
ceedings of this meeting.
On motion of Gen. James D. Frierson, copies of
the proceedings of this meeting weie directed to
be sent to the Senator and Representatives of this
county, with the request that the same be pre
sented to their respective bodies.
The meeting then adjourned, having been in

jy The Oxygenated Bitters.—For years medical sei
ence has been taxed and tne skill ofthe physician exhausted in
the hope-of discovering some remedy available to cure that
most distressing of all diseases—Dyspepsia, as well as its long
train of evils under their various names.
No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, ef
fectually and radically cure and expel these diseases from the
system until Dr. Green made known his discovery ofthe OXY’-
GENATED BITTERS. Such is its remarkable power and
peculiarity, that cases wl?ch for years have baffled the most
potent medicine and the highest professional skill, yield to this
remedy as readily as if the disease were but of a day's standing.
For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
General Debility it is equally salutary and certain.
[From W. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.) Times.]
Covington, April 7,1860.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Co.—Gentlemen : Having derived
benefit from the use ofthe Oxygenated B'ltteis, I am glad to do
the public a favor by recommending them. For Dyspepsia and
its attendant eviis, I consider it a remedy of inestimable value.
W. A. Hakp.
Hon. Win. W. Lamb, formerly Mayor of Norfolk, Va., has
just rendered the following testimony of the reeults produced
by the use of the Oxygenated Bitters:
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Co.—Gentlemen : One of my ser
vants suflered for several years with Prolapsus Uteri, and was
so much prostrated by the disease as to be confined to her bed,
expecting to die. She then took the Oxygenated Bitters and
recovered her health. Wm. W. Lamb.

J3?” Ilrandretli’n Pills are growing more In favor with th
public. It is now conceded they are the best purgative yet put
f trth from the world of medicine. The time will surely arrive
when they will supersede all other purgatives whatever. The
ingredients of which they are composed can scarcely be obtain
ed by druggists or the makers of other pills. Dr. Brandreth
has thfcm grown and prepared without regard to the expense.
And this care to make a popular purgative is appreciated, as
their sales indicate. Other purgatives are dragging a flickering
existence. And yet they may have some merit. But BKAN
DRETH'S PILLS are safe and sure—safe, because they ope
rate solely on impure humors. No valuable fluid is touched;
only eflete or worn-out material, which, when taken out ofthe
body leaves it stronger. They are as pleasant as a truly effec
tive medicine can be. To say that they w ill not sometime give
pain would not be erue, but the pain they give is only because
they remove those trude and bad humors from the blood which
are the occasion of disease. They open nature’s avenues, and
this ca not always be done pleasantly.

TKK'S CELEBRATED BITTERS. Who would endure the
torture arising from this terrible disease, when it can be so
easily cured? Who would endure sleepless nights, burning
fevers and icy chills alternately, when a remedy can lie obtained
for a mere trifle ? And yet how many Candies linger out a
painful fxistenci under this deadly blight, and do nothing hut
gulp down quinine, until it becomes as common as their daily
meals aud yet they are not relieved. None but the foolish and
weak would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and save
themselves intense agony.

“ 1 was troubled in January hist with costiveness for several

cold, I suppose ; at any r te, a severe diarrhea set in, which my
medical attendant found i* impossible to arrest. This was fol

George Lewis, fortunately called on me, and advised Bran

enough, but he administered four, and the next morning four
more. Much impurity came from me, and, to my surprise, the
soreness and pain diminished. One box cured me fully. I am

THE GLOBE,
The Official Paper of Congress.
I PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of THE DAILY
GLOBE and THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
APPENDIX, to remind subscribers, aud inform those who
may desire to subscribe, that Congress will meet on the first
Monday of next December, when 1 shall resume publishing the
above named papers. They have been published so long, that
most public men know their character, and therefore 1 deem it
needless to give a minute account of the kind of mutter they
will contain.
THE DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the Debates
In both branches of Congress as taken down bv reporters, equal,
at least, to any corps of short-hand writers in this, or in any
other country. A ma|ority of them will, each, be able to re
port, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour, while the average
number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds
seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates
of a day do not. make more than forty-five columns, they will
appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will con
tain, also, the news of the day, together with such editorial ar
ticles as may be suggested by nassmg events.
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX
will contain a report of all the Debates in Congress, revised bv
the speakers, the Messages of the President of the United
States, the Annual Reports of the Heads of the Executive De
partments, the Laws passed during the ses ion, and copious in
dexesto all. They will be printed on a double roval sheet, in
book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen
pages. The whole will make, it is believed 2.0U0 pages This
Is acknowledged to be the cheapest work ever sold in any
country, whether a re-print or printed from manuscript copy
taking for data the average number of words it contains. ’
The comiug session will, without Aoubt, be an unusual'y in
teresting one, bee use the debates will be In a great measure
upon the policy of the President elect, and the Globe will be as
it has been for many years past, ihe stily source from which
full dehates of Congress can be obtained.
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX

by reading the following Joint Resolution passed bv Couerem
the 6th ot August, 1852 : 1 6
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution of the Law's
