Banks and Bnsiness.
The whole framework of our commercial life is j
built to a very great extent on credit. The im
porter credits the jobber, to a greater or less ex
tent, the jobber credits the dealer, from six to
twelve months, and the dealer credits the con
sumer from one day to—world without end. The
system is wrong and ought to be re-modelled, but
perhaps this is not the time for it. Indeed this is
the time, above all others, when credit and confi
dence are absolutely essential to carrying on busi
ness of all sorts, and this is a time when all, in
business matters, should bear and forbear, until
patience ceases to be a virtue. In this artificial
(we boastingly call it civilizedj life, where the
Hindoe is perhaps happier than we, Banks be
come a necessity, for all the purposes of business.
And what are Banks, and what designed for?—
They are usually considered safe and convenient
places of deposit for monies in hand, for which
the owner has no present need in business. They,
just as individuals, loan their money, as they can
find customers to suit them; but in consideration
of the fact that they furnish, or agree to furnish,
the community a circulating medium vastly more
convenient in every respect than coin, are allow
ed to issue their promises to pay, called bank
notes, to the extent of three times their coin,
though restricted, as individuals are, by the fool
ish and barbarous usury laws. In Georgia they
can not legally take more than seven per centum
per annum, for the use of their money (meaning by
money not only money actually, but bank notes
also,) aud at the same rate for a less time than one
year, with usual exchaugc added, when doing for
eign bills. But Banks are no more required than
individuals—to lend their money when they do not
wish to do so—though the public expects more of
Banks than of individuals, on accouut of the pe
culiar privileges granted them.
But banks, besides being a convenience, have
come to be an absolute necessity in the business
world. Every year there is sold in this city some
eight or ten million dollars worth of cotton, not
to speak of various other agricultural products,
and the actual cash capital of our banks does not
perhaps exceed three millions. How do they be
come then a necessity in the getting forward of
the great crop—cotton ? They furnish the dealer,
day by day, with money to buy cotton from the
producer; aud the money the producer gets he
uses to payhis grocery, dry goods and other bills,
in town and. country, conv trting his surplus into
lands, negroes, mules, stock, Ac.—for very few
hoard money. The Augusta merchant takes his
money to the bank to buy foreigu bills, wherewith
to pay his indebtedness North, West and East, and
if the banks can not furnish exchange he demands
coin.
In a time of excitement and derangement like
the present, the Banks take precautionary mea
sures, as individuals do, to protect themselves I
and their stockholders. Consequently when there 1
is a considerable demand on them for gold, either j
to Suit the convenience of necessity or to satisfy j
the boarding propensity of the people, it becomes )
their interest and their duty to stop business, ra- j
ther thau be drained of gold. And just this suite
of things now exists among us. No Bank can,
will, or ought to issue its bills, for the purpose
..even of moving the crop to the great consuming
market, when the inevitable consequence is inat
its bills return immediately to its counter for re
demption in coin. But as it is all-important for
every branch of business that cotton should be
sold, it becomes necessary to guard against an
unusual, and unnecessary, aud unjustifiable de
mand foi gold, and this can only be done by al
lowing the Banks to refuse temporarily to redeem
tiieir promises. This is a great present relief, aud
cau do no harm to any one, if the Banks are sound
and solvent, as we doubt not ail our Georgia
Buoka are. Asa matter of relief then to the com
munity—to the batiks—we believe it is wise
policy to legalise suspension for a time, and we
suppose the relief bill which passed the Senate
Friday will soon pass the House, and be promptly
sanctioned by his Excellency. We do not see
how it can damage any one, and it is very essen
tial now to every interest that money be forth
coming to buy cotton, and thus to grease the joints
of all business. There is no danger of a crash, us
we believe, come what may, if business be pru
dently managed. The best investment in the
world, after gold and land, is cotton.
Keaisiauce.
From all the signs of the times, from all the
means of information in our possession,’ and we
have striven diligently to inform ourselves, we be
lieve the people of Georgia, of all parties, aud
without regard to past issues, are determined on
Resistance. The bill, passed by our Legislature
against the wishes of some of the most ardent re
sistance men, calling a Convention of the sove
reign people of this commonwealth, declares (and
this declaration seems to have been agreed to by
all the distinguished citizens whose counsel and
advice was asked) that the crisis iu our National
affairs, in the judgment of the General Assembly,
demands resi.-tance. But very wisely and judi
ciously the Legislature left the t>me. a out aud
measures of redress to be determined by the peo
ple, duly assembled, by tfiei. legally chosen dele
gates, in State Convention.
Now, it is important to know what men mean
by resistance, submission and such terms, it is
surely most imprudent and impolitic iu a t:me
like this, when unanimity of sentiment is of tue
first importance, when we should be preparing to
act as brothers and friends, not us aliens, parti
sans and enemies, for one citizen to denounce an
other as a submissionist, a disunionist, or by any
other term which can be tortured iuto a term of
opprobrium. We know ot none in our midst who
are really submissiomats—few, we believe, own
themselves to bo disumonists per , and all say
that unity aud harmony are desirable. But these
are unattainable unless men will be prudent and
considerate. Ardeucy and thoughtless celerity
threaten great danger—there is no danger that
we can see in coolness, forecast, deliberation.
It is well for us to inquire what we are going to
resist, and why as well as to inquire how we shall
resist—the time, mode and measure. What is it
that we will resist ? Some say we will resist Lin
coln, others that we will resist the fanaticism of
the North us exhibited in their nullification acts.
We believe that the resistance is to be to the whole
existing order of things in our national affairs,
with or without specifications, and we feel that we
know that all our people are uncompromisingly
against suomission to the foul domination of Black
Republicanism.
We do not believe, and never did, that the elec
tion of Lincoln, or any oth - free white native
male citizen of the United states, abo ctheage
of thirty-fire years, is, iu itself, aud by itself, suf
ficient, good and just cause for breaking up the
Confederacy. We think, with Mr. Wm. L. Yan
cey, that it is an inferior issue—this mere loss of
an election. Well, what then about the personal
liberty bills of some of the Northern States, which
grossly violate and practically nullify a plain Con
stitutional provision, without which the Union
could not have been formed, and the Federal La'*’
made in strict conformity thereto? Do these
things require us to destroy the Government ? If
so, then the Government f ought to have
troyed loDg ago, and ought now to be destroyed,
whether Lincoln or any other man bad been
elected to the Presidency. These laws are mat
ters of concern between us aud the States who
make them, and the citizens thereof. We believe
that they should be unconditionally repealed, des
troyed root aud branch, and that we can not, aud
ought not to live in comity with a people who
maintaiu such laws. But they are not a ground
of complaint on our part against the Union or the
Federal Government, unless the Government is
unable or unwilling to enforce its own laws against
such nullifying acts of the States.
We should, in the event the General ’Govern
ment fails of its duty in this respect visit our
wrath on such States and people. We ought,
however, to test this matter, and then in case of
failure, drive out these States and people from our
Union—by the sword if need be. Shall we mglo
riously flee from the Union our fathers made, and
give it up to these vile Goths and Vandals ?
Should we not rather drive them out, and we hold
on to the Republic.
There are, aud always have been, among us,
some of the most honestly, conscientiously pat
riotic and iutelligent citizens who regard the Un
ion undesirable, on account of the manner of col
lecting and expending the revenues—on account
of fishing bounties, the navigation laws, the tar
iff, Ac. But these things all we have submitted
to for years, imposed as they have been in part
by our own representatives, and men of our own
choosing, and it is too late to talk of breaking up
the Government on their account. They come iu
well, however, in the enumeration of the grievan
ces, aggressions, oppressions, &c., on account of
which it is thought desirable to dissolve the Un
ion. Each one of these things separately, all of
them together*, we have submitted to. But now
comes the ignominy of the election of a sectional
candidate to the Presidency of these thirty-three
States, elected solely by one section of them, and
by a party whose chiefs have declared a policy
which exasperates our people, and jeopards our
safety.
So far as slavery is concerned, our deliberate
judgment is,'that it is in no danger of destruction,
or of material injury. But this election ol Abra
ham Lincoln, while it accomplishes nothing abso
lutely, is simply a manifestation of that spirit of
intolerance, of hatred, of of fanatic au
ti-slavely feeling, with which we can not live in
peace. Either one of three things must happen—
we must destroy this fanaticism, we must separ
ate from this fanatic people, or we must take our
chances iu common with them. The latter is
simply an impossibility. But our judgment is
that be.ore we resort to the second we should
make an experiment of the first. And we would
say here that we have small hope of success iu
the experiment—but we believe a brave, great
people owe it to themselves, and to the opinion of
mankind, to make the effort. Should it fail, we
are no worse oti” for resistance, and we should
have secured several great advantages. We
should be clearly in the right, aud not aggressive,
we should unite our own people and the South, and
we should have taken time to prepare ourselves
for the worst—w hich wise men always do.
In a word, we are iu the main with Mr. Hill.
We would test the power of this Government to
give us justice,we would demand of the North ab
solute non-interfeaence iu our affairs, we would
arm and equip ourselves, we would cultivate cor
dial unity and fraternity from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande, we would force the North to her
duty, or drive her from the benefits of the Repub
lic, aud finally, when every honorable effi- t should
fail, we would declare Georgia an independent
Government, standing alone if need ‘.e, >• n uni- |
son withher Southern sisters in anew Republic j
—or new’ Government of some sort.
Letter from Gov. Jtlatfollln—--Position
of Kentucky.
FiiANKt'pRT, Kv., Nov. 16, IS6O.
S. I. hL Major, Esq., Editor of the Yeoman :
Dear Sir: I am asked by a number of friends,
yourselt one of them, and have received letters
from various parts of the State, all of the same
tenor, inquiring of me, irhat i ill Kc uucky do, and
what ought she to do, row that L ; oln is elected ?
I will frankly give you .... opinion.
1 believe she will rdl . ro firmly to her princi
ples. We are defeated, but not conquered. We
are beaten, but not dismayed. Kentucky will
stand by the positions upon which 1 was elected j
j in August, lsd9. She will stand by the equality j
I and the rights of the States, and the equal ty and j
| the rights of the people in the States. She will j
j stand by the repeal oi the Missouri Compromise,
| by the Dred Scott decision, and by the enforce
-1 meat of the fugitive slave law. She will stand by
i every right she has under the Constitution of tue
I United States, and under the laws aud constitu
tions of the separate States. She will demazul that
slavery’ shall not be abolished in the District- of
Columbia, or wherever it now exists iuthe Union,
aud that the slave trade between the States shall
not be interfered with by Congress. She will de
mand her equal rights in all the Territories of
this government. She will stand by the position
that slave property in the Territories is entitled
to the same protection with other property there
in, and that no discriminations can be made by
the Territorial Legislature against that property,
so a> to exclude it directly, or to impair the right
of the owners to it, or by unfriendly legislation
to render it valueless. She will and :maud that J
whenever the people of a Territory having sutli- j
cieni population shall form a State Constitution,
with or without slavery in it, and ask of Congress
admission as a State into the Union, she shall he
admitted provided her constitution is republican
in form She will keep her present status upon
the slavery question, believing the las, tne con
stitution, and the courts afford her adequate pro
tection She will stand immovably upon the De
mocratic plaf’orm adopted last winter at Frank
fort, and upon the one adopted last summer at
Baltimore, upon which her noble and gifted sou
has just been defeated.
Eutreuehed iu this position behind the deci
sions of the Supreme Court of the United States,
her rallying cry will be, her rights and her equal
ity iu the Union. She will ask nothing she will
.nut concede to her sister States. She wants all
her rights under the Constitution, and she will i
neither give up nor compromise a single one of i
them. She wnl show her devotion to the Union j
by standing steadfastly by them, the only priuci j
pies upon which it can he preserved. She will be, !
as she has ever been, firm, wise, moderate, and
just, and wnenever a dominant, reckless, sectional
majority, u the idea of her equality,
forgetting tqat the government was made to pro
tw • tue weak against the strong, and to protect
i arsons, property and the rights of the States,
shall nirn it into an en .me of oppression instead
* of protection, by trampling upon her rights, she
knows her duty, and she will do it. She will ap
peal to the ballot-box, to the reason, to the justice,
aud to the patriotism of Congress, of the States,
and of the people everywhere ; and when everv
thing fails, doubly fortified in her impregnab
position, she will, calm and resolutely, locs the]
danger in tne lace, and no matter what the odds !
may be against ht r, then she win inpea* to the ;
God oi bailies, and with the Constiti -on in one
hand aud the sword in the other, and uder the
fi"? of the Union, her noble and gallant ‘ns will
prove theinsi?ves worthy ot the glorious heroes
from whom they sprung, by striking for ‘heir |
homes and their firesides—for their altars md
their r.for their liberties and the freedom
ot their child-en—for the Union under the com
pact of the Constitution—find he who would not
ao it is a coward and a slave.
I agree with you, that the election of Mr. Lin
coln io no cause for secession or rebellion. It
is not so regarded by the people of the State. It
is true . e has been elected by a sectional party,
upon sectional ideas, with a reckless sectional
hostility to an institution the South would not
surrender. The people of the slave States, and
a large minority of ti ue men iu tht ‘ree States,
no matter whether they were the support rs of
Jr. Breckinridge, Mr. Bell or Mr. Douglas, took
the ground that if he were elected, and tie at
tempted :o carry out his piinciplcs and purposes,
it would dissolve the Union. Kentucky says af
ter the election, in my judgment, what all par
ties declared here before, and that is, she will
not suDimt to the carrying out of his principles.
Iho fathers ot the Republic, with General Wash
ington at the head, have warned us against the
formation and success of a sectional party as
the only danger to the liberties of the people or
to the safety of the Confederacy. The Republi
cans have paid no attention to these warnings,
but blindly, madly, without regard to conse
quences, they have declared this goverument
could not exist as part free aud part slave, but
must a1 be free. It matters little whether we
have to give up our slave property, or whether
our children will be compelled to do it. Tin y
have made their threats that they intend to de
prive us ot it sooner or later, and in the free States
as far as they dare or had the power, they have
put their threats iuto execution.
They have passed laws in thirteen of the free
States, I believe, which prohibit toe execution of
the fugitive slave law, and have set at naught the
Constitution of the United States. Six ot these
States, New Aork and Pennsylvania included,
deny to the owners of slaves*, oi to the officers of
the government, their jails or public buildings for
the protection of this property. Seven of them,
including also New York aud Pennsylvania, pro
vide defense for fugitive slaves. Mauy of them
declare the slaves free if their owners hring them
there; undone State—New Hampshire—declares
him absolutely free. Nine of the five .-tat s have
imposed penaltits of imprisonment and fines of
from <jJ,ooo to $5,000 on tne officers or the persons
who may aid in enforcing the laws which have
beeu passed by Congress, and declared to be con
stitutional by the Supreme Court of the United
states. The Legislature of these States, and the
courts of many of them wuich have passed upon
their action, have openly, insultingly, boldly and
defiantly nullified the laws of Congress and the
decisions of the Supreme Court. There is no
theoretical, but practical disunion in this.
Is it not time all this was arrested? Is it not
time we bad an understanding as to future actiou,
if we do not intend to ho robbed of our slave pro
perty ? Ail over the border States they have tueir
agents and emissaries, and many in the other slave
States engaged in stealing anil running off our
slaves. They avow they will neither give them
up when they succeed iu getting into the free
States, nor will they deliver up the men who steal
them. They have elected a man who has avowed,
if he did not originate, the doctrine of the irre
firessible conflict, and that the States must be all
ree. He and his party affirm, in the most solemn
manner, they will execute their purposes, as soon
as they have the power. They say Mr. Lincoln is
a firm and an honest man ; and if so, he intends
to carry out bis principles. The slave States have
over four and a half millions ot slaves. Ken
tucky ha., over $170,000,000 in slave property.
She is losing at the rate of over $200,000 per an
num of that property. When I stated, iu my an
nual message to the Legislature, the loss was
SIOO,OOO few believed it. I have reliable informa
tion it is douole that sum, aud will soon be again
doubled. That property, more than one-third of
all we possess, guaranteed to us by the Constitu
tion of the United States and our laws, worked
for, acquired, and left to us by our fathers—that
property we are working for, and wish to leave to
our children, will soon be rendered valueless, and
Kentucky become a free State, if these principles
and purposes be carried out. Yet with all these
grievances, while no slave State has nullified
a law of Congress, or refused a right to a free
State under the Constitution—with all this loss of
property hv Kentucky—with the further fact
staring us in the face that the State of Ohio has
violated a great Constitutional right of the State
of Kentucky, in refusing to deliver up upon my
demand a fugitive from our State who bus beeu
indicted tor stealing our slaves —with all these
facts and outrages, hard to be borne, I would say
that the mere election of Lincoln is not sufficient
cause for secession or rebellion. He is elected
under the forms and according to the Constitution
of the United States.
We would say to our sister States of the South,
we have more cause of grievance than all of the
cotton States put together, occupying, as we do,
over seven hundred miles of border line. Look
at our exposed position—the constant tampering
with our negroes by the Abolitionists-the immense
annual loss we sustain—the direct.infringement of
our rights in refusing to execute the fugitive
slave law, and iu the robbery of our property —in
the danger to the lives of the owners when they
go to the free States to recapture their slaves—in
the insults, and taunts, anti injuries to the Federal
officers who attempt to do their sworn duty iu exe
cuting the fugitive slave law, as in the recent
mob in Ohio, and in the case of Booth, of Wis
consin—in the wholesale stealing every day going
on of our negroes, and the refusal of the people
and Governors to deliver up eitherjthe property or
the thieves : All this, aud much more, we com
plain of, and don’t intend to submit to ; hut we
cannot justify you in breaking up the Government
and going out of the Union on account of the elec
tion oi a man upon a bad platform, and the worst
political principles aud purposes.
We say to vou and to the Republicans, we stand
here as pacificators, as arbitrators. We entreat
vou of the South not to take this rasli step ; and
to you of the North we say, calmly, but fearlessly
and firmly, without threats, vou must not en
croach upon our Constitutional rights as expoun
ded by the highest and purest tribunal iu the
land. You must stay your arm of fanaticism, of
violence, of vengeance, and of power, for we are
resolved to resist unto death any violation of our
rights uuder the Constitution. We will resist ag
gressions; we will defend the Union under the
nag of our fa hers, following in their foot-steps,
and encouraged by their example, no matter what
the odds may be against us. Mr. Lincoln has
been elected according to all the forms of law un
der the Constitution, which we revere and regurd
as the repository of our rights, and the shield of
our safety, aud notwithstanding his threats and
the danger of carrying out his principles he may
not do it. We must wait lor an overt act, hoping
that truth and reason, and justice, embodied in a
clear and impartial delineation of our rights uu
der the Constitution, as expounded by the Su
preme Court of the United States, will vet pre
vent it. A madman or a had man may stand in
the highway adjoining my premises, and he may
threaten to burn my house or rob me of my pro
perty, and yet I may treat him as a blusterer w ho
would not execute the threat. When he makes
| tne attempt —when he actually crosses my leuee,
i and advances upon my property to execute the
1 threat—then will it be time enough and then will
j I be justified in shooting down the villain.
Let us reason with the Republicans still further ;
I let us remonstrate more earnestly, firmly, and uni
tedly ; let us, at all event., wait for the overt act,
aud then Kentucky can aud Will join her sister
slave States. This, it seems to me, is the course
of moderation and prudence and wisdom; cer
tainly so, because neither Mr. Lincoln nor his
party cau pass any law, it the Opposition remain
true, that will violate our rights. He can’t even
get an appropriation bill through Congress to
carry on the Government. Ho eau’t appoint his
Cabinet officers who may be offensive to the Dem
ocratic party and to the slaves States. lie cau do
nothing, with the present House of Representa
tives aud Senate, hacked by the Supreme Court,
Ito violate our rights. Let the anti-liepubliean
i members of the Opposition firmly resolve not to
I discuss the question of slavery any more, and
i when the Republicans have done, let them vote
down their measures, aud proceed ro business up
on the other important interests of the country.
The question has beeu discussed too much already,
aud let them resolve they will discuss it no more.
It only produces discard, strife, criminations and
recriminations, aud sunders all those fraternal
ties, socially, politically, and religiously, which
bind us together.
I hope yet, when passion cools and reason re
sumes its throne, that the North may be Brought
to see they have as deep a stake in preserving sla
very at tne South, and the rights of the Slave
States as w’e have. They cannot do without our
cotton and sugar, aud rice and tobacco, aud other
staples; and whenever the fanaticism of the peo
ple, who have no motive to aet but for their owm
good and the safety of the Republic, shall sec this,
j as see it they will, sooner or later, they will refuse
to follow the lead of ambitious, reckless, danger
ous, and talented demagogues, who are w illing to
risk fortune, honor, life, and country, to gain
place and power. They will see that it is not on
ly to their interest to keep the negro in bouduge,
but it is to the interest of the slave —that he is,
i/torally, socially, and religiously, a better and a
happier man than he could w in any other condi
tion. As a slave, an active and dlicieut agent in
doing great good, as w*e have him in the slave
States ; but us a free rnan, a worthless vagabond,
idle, dissipated, miserable—a nuisance and a curse
as they have him in the free States, and are com
pelled to pass laws to prevent his residence among
them.
They may see we have other great interests in
this country w hich ought to engage a fair propor
tion of the time of Congress. Reason and truth
| and patriotism may yet prevail. Let us hope—
; hope on and ever, in the absence of an overt act,
| or until there is no hope for the Union of these
States. Great God, let us do nothing! We who
! have been, and are, in the right, let us keep iu the
! right, and do nothing to break up this great
Government. Let us stand upon the right, sub
mitting tonothing wrong. Firmly,unwaveringly,
and all together, let ua stand upon our Constitu
tional rights, with an unfaltering purpose to make
no more concessions—to submit to no more com
promises, and to resent at once, and to the last
extremity, any violation of our rights.
To the States which propose to secede, we would
say, iu addition to what we have said, you should
not deseit us. We are a border State; we have
the brunt of the battle; we have more grievances
thau all of you ; we have suffered more grievan
: _lB, but we have had more forbearnce. Even now
jwe have a practical question. It is a wicked,wan
ton violation of our rights, which lies at the l’oun
i datiou ot our Government, aud involves the very
existence of slavery in Kentucky, it is no ab
straction—no Kansas question— no Territorial
question—hut an open, direct violation of our
j Constitutional rights. We don’t intend to submit
to it. I have demanded of Gov. Dennison, of Ohio,
a fugitive now under indictment for stealing o ir
slaves, lie has refused to deliver him up.
He and the liepublieou parry of Ohio, and I be
lieve of the whole Union, all concede that* the go
vernment could not have been formed but upon
the idea that each State must be permitted to
regulate its domestic affairs to suit itself, and that
unless this idea is fully carried out between the
States in their intercourse, the Union is at an end.
Yet he refuses to deliver up this fugitive now un
der indictment in our courts, for stealing negro
property, upon the ground, among other reasons,
that the lows of Ohio do not regard it as a /tinny
to steal a slave. Our laws and Constitution of the
United States, do recognise negroes as property.
They are recognised as such by tue Supremo
Court of tho United States. It has declared it to
be a felony to steal a slave, and we will not sub
mit to this violation of our Constitutional rights.
It is a great practical question now pending be
tween Kentucky aud Ohio, aud I told you ou the
stump last summer, that I would surrender no
Constitutional right Kentucky had. This is one
of them. If we would surrender this one, it would
encourage to wrest from us another and another,
until stripped of our rights, our honor, our inhe
ritance, and our manhood, we will have neither
the spirit, nor the courage, nor the power to re
sist.
I shall take this violated right to the Courts for
the remedy. Failing there, I would take it to
Congress,,as there is an anti-Republican Congress,
and if they give the remedy, Mr. Lincoln will be
called on to sign or veto the bill. We will test
the question where we have rights whether or not
we have remedies. We will test the queritiou
whether or not our rights are to he respected un
der the laws and the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Failing there, 1 shall
t* 11 the people of Kencucky, iu the last resort :
Here is your violated right. I have done all I can
do to obtain the remedy. Y'ou are a State’s rights
people, and now, falling back upou your reserved
rights, I will advise such uction us 1 am sure you
will take.
To South Carolina, aud such other States who
may wish to secede from the Union, I would say,
the geography of the country will not admit of a
division—the mouth aud sources of the Mississip
pi river cannot be separated without the horrors
of civil war—we cannot sustain you iu this move
ment merely ou account of the election of Lincoln.
Do not precipitate us by premature actiou into a
revolution or civil war, the consequences of which
will be ftiost frightful to all of us. It may yet be
avoided. There is still hope, faint though’ it be.
Kentucky is a border State, and has suffered more
thau all of you. She claims that, standing upon
the same sound platform, you will sympathise
with her, and stand by her, and not desert her in
her exposed perilous border position. She has a
right to claim that her voice, aud the voice of rea
son aud moderation and patriotism, shall Jie heard
aud heeded by you. If you secede, your Repre
sentatives will go out of Congress, and leave us
at th* mercy of a Black Republican Government.
Mr. l'incolu will have no cheek. Ue cau appoint
his cabinet aud have it confirmed. The Congress
will then be Republican, and he will be able to
pass such laws as he may suggest. The Supreme
Court will be powerless to protect us. We im
plore you to stand hv us, aud bv our friends in
the free States, and let us all, the bold, the true,
and just men in the free and slave States, with a
united front stand by each other, by our princi-
Eles, by our rights, our equality, our honor, and
y the Union under the Constitution. I believe
this is the only way to save it, aud we can do it.
As it is, a majority of the people are against
Mr. Lincoln, although lie has been elected. The
majority iu Congress is against liiir. and his prin
ciples. He is iu their power, and they would tully
represent a majority of the people of the United
States, if they would exercise that power in such
a manner us to obtain assurances aud guarantees
that our rights uuder the Constitution should be
respected aud preserved. This is what you want,
and what we want. In this way we may accom
plish it, the Union may be preserved, and we
may go on to prosper in the future us we have
ooue iuthe past. By seceding, by leaving the
halls of Congress, by deserting your posts and us
now, the Goverument will be brokeu up, civil
war may follow, and God only knows what will
be the end. It may yet be averted in some way
by not taking this premature step, and we appeal
to you by all these considerations, by all the sa
cred memories which brought the Government
into existence, and all the ties which should he
preserved and strengthened to keep us together
as one people—by the battle-fields of the revolu
tion—by the actnevements aud the blood and the
sacrifices and sufferings ot the illustrious dead,
ihe martyrs of freedom who died to give us the
l’berty we now enjoy—by our unparalleled pros
perity aud progress as a nation—by our com
manding positiou abroad, and, if vve continue to
he united, our powerful position at home- by all
the mortification, vuiu and misery that w ould at
tend a failure of our Government—by every con
sideration that should influence an aggrieved, a
just, an intelligent, a loyal, a brave, a patriotic
and magnanimous people, to stand by us, by your
rights, by the Constitution, aud the Union under
the Constitution, in this hour of its greatest dan
ger since it came iuto existence. Let passion he
allayed; let reason assume its throne; let mode
ration, forbearance and wisdom guide our couu
sels, and the country may yet be.saved.
In any contingency’, we believe this Government
was formed in friendship, affection, and mutual
confidence and common interests, and whenever
these ties are indissolubly’ sundered, it is idle to
attempt to keep it together by force.
In conclusion, I would say, Kentucky will watch
the progress of events, in my opinion, in view of
all the tremendous responsibilities that devolve
upon her, aud take her position calmly, fearlessly,
wisely, with her whole heart beating for the
Union, aud her whole soul overflowing with pa
triotism and loyalty to that Union under the com
pact of the Constitution, determined to be just to
all sections of ths blood bought confederacy now
the last, best and brightest hope of freemen and
mankind, and with the most perfect confidence
when the dread hour of trial comes, if come it
must, she has the will, the spirit, the courage, the
patriotism aud the manhood, aud the ability to
defend her inheritance, her honor and he • rights,
which have been guaranteed to her by the Con
stitution of the United States.

The Politicians against llic Farmers.
Messrs. Editors: —The present year has been the
most disastrous to the planting States of which
we have any account. The corn crop is unexpec
tedly short; while the cotton crop, in my judge
ment will full below the lowest estimates in the
shipping ports. The truth is, in u large section
of the cotton States the people have not made
cotton enough to supply the deficiency in their
provision crops, and pay their store hills. This
is bad enough in all conscience.
But what do the politicians sav ? Are they dis
posed to help the people? Not* they! The cup
of the people is already overflowing with bitter
ness, and yet the agitators und fuctionists seem
disposed to add to it, both in quantity aud bitter
ness. Instead of proceeding with “ wisdom, jus
tice and moderation,” they are striving to precipi
tate the country iuto the untold horrors of a ‘fi
nancial and political revolution. They are clam
orous for the dissolution of the Union, and the
overthrow ot the Government, and some of them
have even called upon the Legislature to resolve
the State ot Georgia out of the Union without al
lowing the people to be heard iu the matter at all.
The Legislature has no more right to withdraw
the Suite from the Union than a Church Confer
ence has, or an Agricultural fair, or a petit jury!
Nothing better could be expected of Mr. Toombs,
hut Mr. T. U. R. Cobb is a good lawyer and ought
to have known better. lam always sorry to see
lawyers like him and some others* I could name
dabbling in poli ics. Statesmanship is a practical
study, and gentlemen, however able and worthy
they may be, who are inexperienced in its duties
and responsibilities, should leave it to those who
make it a study.
I am not surprised that Mr. Toombs should say
he was “afraid of Conventions” of the people, or
that Mr. Cobb should say the members of the Le
gisture were better able to decide upon the policy
to be adopted by the State than the people are,
and that he was unwilling “to wait to hear from
the cross roads and the groceries.'’ These gentle
men know full well that the people—the boue and
sinew of the country—are not ready to subvert
the Government because certain politicians have
been disappointed in their aspirations for office.
I know there is considerable excitement in the
cities and towns along the lines of railway, but
away from these thoroughfares, and back in the
country among the quiet farmers and mechanics,
there is but little, and what excitement there is,
j arises chiefly from their anxiety lest the politi
cians should hurry the country into the adoption
of rash aud inconsiderate measures. But let me
not be misunderstood. The people are not prepared,
to tamely submit to Black Republican domination.
They favor a State Convention , and the line of poli
cy indicat'd by Mr. Stephens in his gnat speech at
ililhdgeville. If prompt ana adequate redress can
not be obtained iu the Union, after a fair tfort.
\ they will be r % e.ady to ijo out of it with tiieir banners
unfurled and their swords drawn.
But I have indicated, by the caption of this arti
i ole, that the course of the politicians is antagonis
tic to the true interests of the people. And why ?
Do vve not see that the haste and rashness of the
politicians are adding tenfold to the embarrass
ments of the people 't, Has not their disunion
movement sent .own cotton and dosed the mar
ket? Hus it not shut down the Banks? Is not
the whole machinery ot finance und commerce at
a dead lock V The present corn crop is the
shortest ever made, and will soon he exhausted ;
and how are the people to buy bread for their
famishing families ? Will the disunionist tell me?
Where is the money to come from? All credit is
gone. Property cannot be sold except at a ruin
ous sacrifice. The Northwest will not sell us
bread without the cash, and large numbers of the
people have neither cash nor bread. What are
they to do ? Who has brought this commercial
crisis upon them ?
Three weeks ago cottou sold readily at full pri
ces, and money was easily obtained. What has
produced the change ? The rash and inconside
rate action of the politicians, who instead of pro
ceeding decently, yet resolutely, have sought to
precipitate the South into a revolution without
preparation, either military or financial, and with
out even allowing the people time to replenish
their meal tubs aud smoke houses. It is no child’s
play to overthrow a Government. It is easy
enough to mount a cockade, but it requires time
aud patience and preparation to initiate aud con
duct. a revolution.
Let the politicians beware ! They are conju
ring up the ghostly figure of famine in this good
ly land, and ere they are aware of it, they will
be overwhelmed and swallowed up as Pharoah
and his chariots were in the lied Sea. Let us
have full redress for our wrongs, and if we can
not get it in the Union then let us strike for inde
pendence. Above all, let us proceed with caution
and circumspection, and upou such a line of poli
eyas will enlist the support of all our people;
else to the horrors of civil war between the North
and the South, vve mav unwillingly add the uu
numbered evils of a contest among ourselves.

tiT The Oxygenated Bitters.—For years medical sci
cnce has been taxed ami tue skill of the physician exhausted iu
tho 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 vario s 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 of the OXY
GENATED HITTERS. Such Is its remarkable power ar.d
peculiarity, that cae.s which for years have baffled the most
potent medicine and the highest professional ski 1, yield to this
remedy as readily as if the disease were but of a day’s standing.
For ail diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
Gene al Debility it Is equally salutary and certain.
