TUESDAY MORPI’G, NOV. 21, 1860.
Our Friends at tlie North.
While the recent election shows an overwhelm
ing majority of the Northern people given up to
fanaticism and sectionalism, it shows also the
gratifying fact that at least a million and a half of
those people are willing yet to abide by the com
promises of the Constitution, to give us the jus
tice and the equality guaranteed by that instru
ment, and to live with us on terms of peace and
fraternity. Many public meetings in Georgia,
and elsewhere in the South, have tendered these
men our thanks, as our true and stead fast
friends, and showered the honors of our approval
on them, for their conduct in the canvass just
passed. Truly they do deserve all the honor and
respect we can give them —standing faithful and
true among the faithless multitude.
But we have something else to say about these
friends of ours. We have seen a statement in
some of the public prints, that many of this class
of men are entertaining the thought of coming
~ among us, for the purpose of carrying on their
business. And we wish here and now, to extend
to them, one and all, the right hand of fellowship,
and also a most cordial invitation to come out
from among the heathen of the North and East,
and with their treasures of gold and silver, women
and children, to come and settle amoug us, that
they may be more truly with us and of us. We
want the merchants and shippers, and ship-build
ers, to come to Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah,
Mobile and New Orleans, bringing with them
their capital, their enterprise and their skill, so
that thus we may become most truly independent
of the North and of the world.
m
The people of the South are peculiarly an agri
cultural, a producing, people. They have not
heretofore had the capital, nor especially the in
clination, to engage largely in shipping and prince
ly commercial transactions. We have supinely
allowed our cotton and other products to be car
ried to the great markets iu ships built at the
North, and by means of Northern capital and en
terprise. Asa general thing, we have not cared
to iuvest our means in such business, because we
are more acquainted with production than trans
mission. But we have in our own midst every
thing necessary to make us a great maritime
power, as well as a great manufacturing power, if
we think proper, except only capital and skill.
We have great forests of yellow pine, vast quan
tities of white oak and live oak, and we can just
as build ships and employ them in direct
tr*de from our ports to Europe, as let it alone.
There are no indispensable obstacles, none which
cannot easily be overcome, when we turn our at*
lention to them with will and determination.
We do not desire to see the South a great man
ufacturing country, because we regard great man
ufucturing towns as great sores on the body poli
tic. We should like indeed to see much more
(7)
manufacturing skill and industry than we have,
especially in regard to the iron business, but we
want no Manchesters and Lowells in our midst.
T&=f>reserve our liberties our Republican form
of government, we think it best to avoid becom
ing a manufacturing people to great extent; but
while maintaining our aucieut character as pro
ducers, we may safely add the Commercial char
acter. Therefore it is that we sincerely invite our
Northern friends, who are disgusted with the
fanaticism in their midst, and who know the pre
cariousness of their system of society, to come*
bring among us their ships, their money, and
their commercial activity a id habits.
An Oration from Caleb Cushing.
lion. Caleb Cushing is to address the people of
Newburyport, Massachusetts, on the evenings of
the 24th and 25th insts. on the national crisis. In
a letter accepting the invitation he says :
God forbid that, at such a moment, anything
slffrtfld be done or said by me to add to the inten
sity of solieiiade, which already exists in this re
lation. On the other hand, there is but one thing
to allay it, which can be done or said by or in the
State of Massachusetts.
© It avails nothing for us iu Massachusetts to dis
cuss the question of the expediency or inexpe
diency of secession, and to endeavor to impress
on the Southern States the sacredness of the
Union. So long as the State of Massachusetts
* maintains a system of legislation plainly contrary
to the Constitution iu the very matter of the spe
cial rights of the Southern States, all tars are
closed to appeals in behalf of the Union from us.
To such appeals the answer is ready, that when we
duly regard the Constitution ourselves, and not
until then, it. will be competent to us to exhort
other States to respect and observe it; that oth
erwise we are but meanly enjoying the benefits of
the compact without discharging its obligations ;
mid that our laudation of the Union is alike odious
and ridiculous while we cling to it only as the
means of exerting the power of the Federal Gov
ernment to the spoliation, oppression and wrong
of hlteen States of the Union. How deeply so
ever, therefore, any citizen o the State of Massa
chusetts may deplore the possibility of the disso
lution of the Unio j, she is utterly powerless to
dissuade any other State from seeking or promo
ting its dissolution.
The nullification laws of Massachusetts were not
only most deliberately enacted in the first in
stance, but the question of their repeal has been
earnestly moved in the Legislature of the State,
first by Mr. Charles Hale and afterward by my
self; and although some provisions of mere ena
cerbation iu those laws have been repealed on the
recommendation of Gov. Banks, yet the vicious
substauce still subsists, and has but just been
carefully re enacted in the general revision of the
statutes.
* * * * *
Furthermore, so long as the State of Massachu
setts perseveres in this nullification of the Consti
tution, she aflords, not a pretext only, but a justi
ficatory cause to the State of South Carolina, to
that ot Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, or any
other State otherwise disposed to secede ; for the
violation of the fundamental compact of associa
tion by one of the contracting parties serves, in
morality as well as law', to release the others—
and the unconstitutional and dishonorable atti
tude of the State in this matter is uot less mis
chievous in another respect, to wit, its obvious
tendency to paralyze the conservative efforts of
our Southern States not yet prepared to secede,
such as Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Ken
tjeky and Tennessee.
I think there is a duty in this behalf which it is
incumbent on Massachusetts and every loyal citi
zen of the State to perform—one which it is never
too early to euter upon, and never too late to per
sist in, and which it is peculiarly fitting for us to
undertake now —namely, to repeal unconditionally
these laws, which are scandalously false iu their
profession of purpose —which are tyrannical in
their domestic and trersouable in their Federal
relation, aad which misrepresent the spirit and
disgrace the legislation of our Commonwealth.
As this is the duty of all, it is the duty of every
one ; and therefore it will give me pleasure to
speak on the subject ; to expose the gravity of the
situation ; to demonstrate our obligation regard
ing it ; aud to participate with you in the initia
tion ot measures for the wiping out of this foul
blot from the escutcheon of the State of Massa
chusetts.
Having done'that, we shall then have the right,
happen what may, to stand erect, to hold up our
head in the Union, to look our sister States in the
face, and, if need be to address fraternal exhorta
tion to the State of South Carolina.
I am, very faithfully, C. Cushing.
Newburyport, Nov. 19, 1860.
To the Railroad Companies.
The officers of the Cotton Planters’ Association
fear that much of the attractiveness of their Stock
Exhibition will be lost on accouut of the expense
of transporting stock to Macon. The Railroads
without the State say they will be governed by
the charges of the Georgia Roads, and the latter
insist, as we understand, on full freight to the Ex
hibition, promising a return free. This, it is re
prese.itea, will operate as a prohibiting tariff - , and
we shall have little or no stock here Irom a dis
tance. It is stated that the practice of the Roads
heretofore has been to convey such stock free, but
if this cannot be done, a charge which might cov
er expenses would be the true policy of the Roads.
On the other hand, the Roads claim that the Ma
con lair is for the purpose of sale and exhibition,
and the stock should be justly subjected to full
rates. But it is also true that but a very small
portion of the stock brought here would” be for
sale, and planters cannot be expected to pay high
freights merely to gratify public curiosity, and
advance the general interests of the Fair.
| fcThe effect of full freights will be to shut out all
who do not contemplate sales, and so defeat the
common object. It is Dot to the interest of the
roads that this should be done. It is manifestly
important to them that the Fair should be pttrac
tive to visitors. Hence it seems to us that there
should be some compromise, and that it could be
effected on the principle of collecting freight only
where sales are effected, just as the duties on for
eign goods exhibited at the Fair are made collect
able When the goods are sold We write on this
sobject at the suggestion of the officers of the As
■'Ts’-Since the foregoing, we have conversed
with the General Superintendent of the Macon t
Western Railroad, and learn from him that his
• oad will take this position in respect to stock,
and con vey free all stock sent for exhibition mere-

Remarks of Mr. Holt of Muscogee,
On presenting a set of Resolutions from a portion
of the citizens of Muscoaee county on Federal Re
tions.
Ou presenting these resolutions Mr. Holt said :
Mr. President— l hold in my hand a series of
resolutions passed by a portion of the citizens of
Muscogee county, at a recent meeting held in the
city of Columbus, which I ask to be read and re
ferred to the Special Joint Committee on our Fed
eral Relations.
After the resolutions had been read at the Se
cretary’s table,
Mr. H. proceeded, I ask the privilege, Mr. Presi
dent, of briefiy giving my reasons for the differ
ence of opinion between myself and that portion
of the citizens of Muscogee who have sent up
those resolutions to me, to be presented to this
body.
Mr. Lawton of Chatham. I ash the same privi
lege of giving my views on the resolutions I offer
eafrom the citizens of Chatham.
Mr. H. I accord the same privilege to the gen
tleman, and doubt not the Senate will grant his
request. Mr. President, it is a delicate position
to differ with the people by whose votes we have
been sent here; and when that difference does
exist it seems to me to be the first duty, as it is
the highest privilege of the Representative to
give his reasons for this difference. It is for this
reason, and not to discuss the merits of the reso
lutions, that I rise. I have said, sir, that the reso
lutions by which it is attempted to instruct my
legislative course do not meet with my approba
tion. The expression was a little too broad. A
portion of these resolutions does meet my cordial
approbation and shall have my unqualified sup
port—that portion which directs me to co-operate
with the Governor in calling a Convention to de
clare the mode and manner of redress for our past
grievances. As an humble member of this legis
lative body, I agree with this patriotic purpose of
a portion of my fellow-citizens, and stand steady,
anxious and willing to give my support to that
proposition ; but sir it occurs to me that this re
spected and patriotic portion of my fellow-citizens
have left nothing for me or such Convention of
the people of Georgia to do. They have declared
in effect the government at an end, and request
this body to send forth this Legislative opinion.
I call the attention of the Senate particularly to
that feature ot the resolutions. Aud then we are
asked to take into immediate consideration the
passage of such laws as will provide against aud
alleviate the usual commercial embarrassments
consequent upon the present emergency, not
withstanding, Mr. President, the first resolution
i says that the election of a certain person to the
Presidency, (and no man upon this floor depre
cates it more than I do,) “must not and will not
be submitted to.” Upon that declaration this
subsequent action is asked. Sir, the resolutions
render me nothing more than an organ to ex
press the opinion in this Senate which my con
stituents entertain : That Georgia should at once
secede from the Confederacy of estates, and that se
cession shall be by Georgia's own independent un
aided action, without having the solicitation or
consent, co-operation or agreement of our sister
Southern States, and before we have had their
promise or attempted to obtain it, to stand by us,
to unite with us in such secession.
Mr. President, I have said that no member of
this Senate deprecates more than I do the elec
tion of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency of the
United States, and iu his humble sphere no man
made more efforts than 1 did to defeat it. But, sir,
when this great consequence of the disruption of
the government, by our own legislative act, a
government which was initiated by Jefferson,
brought to completion by Washington, protected
by the policy of Jackson, and ennobled by the
statesmanship of Crawford—(pointing to tlie por
traits of these patriots which adorn the Senate
Chamber) —I say, sir, when it is proposed that
this government shall be broken up in the man
ner aud for the cause indicated by my constitu
ents, I desire to stand erect before my own native
State, before the whole country and in the face of
the civilized world, and to enter my solemn pro
test against it, to feel and proudly and truthfully
to say it was not we of the South that did it with
out sufficient cause. lam one of those who be
lieve that it is our duty to stand by the bonds into
which we have entered. We agree, sir, that it
was our contract our solemn obligation, our dis
tinct understanding that in a certain mope and
manner the people of the United States should
quadrennially elect their President. The people,
sir, in their majesty have spoken, and the tri
umph of a foul party has been announced. The
question is, shall we submit to this single act of
the election of Lincoln, ridicule it as you may, in
accordance with all the forms of the Constitution.
Upon this floor I took upon myself the solemn
oath to support and defend the Constitution of
the United States.
Sir, it may be the case that the irrepressible
conflict doctrines of the Black Republican party
will prevail in the administration of the govern
ment of the United States. In that case I fear. 1
believe the government ought and will he at an
end. Whenever that party shall attempt to ties
pass upon the rights of the South, I believe that
the people of Georgia will rise as one man and
with one heart, and protect themselves from op
presSfou. I do not see how secession will end
those acts of aggression—how separate Slate ac
tion cures the evils of which we complain. At
whose door do you lay the complaint ? At da
door of your Government V A t the door of your
Constitution ? At the door of your Union V Who
has made the charge that the Government has
tailed to protect vour rights under the Constitu
tion aud in t ie Union, whenever called upcato do
so? Who, I ask, Senators, has ever made the
charge in all the discussions ou this question, that
the Government of the United States, in its gov
ernmental capacity, has brought any oppression
upon you, committed any aggression on your
rights ? I stand ready to answer the charge
should it. be made. True, Massachusetts lias vio
lated the compact; true, Connecticut has violated
it; true, other Legislatures of other States have
passed measures obnoxious, to the South ; and it
is equally true that the Congress of tlie United
States in answer to the demands of the South has
passed the Fugitive Slave Law, and it is equally
true that when application has been made to the
President of the U. States for the enforcement of
the rights of tlie South under this law, he has
pouretl forth the Federal Treasury, and made use
of the Federal bayonet. It is true sir, that when
your rights have been questioned, its Supreme
Court has maintained them. It is true, sir, that
for the 80 years of the existence of this govern
ment, it has never trampled upon yoursovereigu
tv, and never refused you redress for any wrong.
Why, then, this hostility to such a Government V
I ask, if Massachusetts has violated the compact,
is that a cause of disruption ‘ with the General
Government, by the action of other States, when
the people have observed and been faithful to it V
The General Government was created by the ac
tion of all the States in concert; and if one or
more of these States have proven recreant to their
trust, (also and faithless to their obligations, thev
should be punished and made to observe, stand to
their contract, or be denied all participation in its
benefits.
Then sir, I do not concur in the first of these
resolutions, declaring that the simple election of
one man as President of the United States, iu ac
cordance with the provisions of the Constitution,
is a sufficient cause for the violation of that Con
stitution, which every member on this floor has
sworn to support—sufficient cause for separate
State secession. I do not see the oppressor’s
hand iu that act. Ido not see the invader's step ;
I see the full triumph of a party in the contest for
the highest honors iu this Government.
Mr. President, my public life has been short.
The occupations of my life have been in private
stations, said to be the post of honor. But there
are very few of those who surround me, that can
date their public recollections at a period further
back than my own. Mv bovish remembrance
travels back to 1825, when the patriots, whose
portraits adorn the head of your Chamber, (Troup
aud Clark,) had the destiny of Georgia committed
to their charge. I remember the great contest
for State Rights and State Sovereignty, when the
patriot, Troup, uttered that noble sentiment,
“The argument is exhausted, we will stand by our
arms.” And when he uttered it the radiant glory
of Georgia’s flag shone most brilliantly. He did
not propose by that sentiment, as some are pleas
ed to consider, that he would cure Georgia’s
wrongs by retiring from the Union. Sir, this
sentiment never entered into bis thoughts, that
the fate of Georgih should be decided outside of
the Union. He determined rather to do battle
with the 22 other States, and his own State against
him, and from that contest he brought out Geor
gia with her star the brightest in the galaxy of
States.
Sir, the disunion sentiment had its origin in
1828 ; it culminated in 1882, and as an humble
delegate to that celebrated Convention, which was
assembled on that occasion, I stood upon this
floor giving my humble advocacy to the preserva
tion of the Union—acting upon convictions then
and now, which were then and now, by some,
pronounced traitorous, and in this contest I shall
stand or fall by those convictious. Patriotic men
in 1882, said as now, that we should disrupt the
Union, and some of them have been for 28 years
warring against it. They declare that it brings
no blessings but curses on their beloved State.—
Sir, it is one of the consolations of my life, that
owing to the spirit with which 1 resistedithat ad
vice, the spirit of ’32, on that occasion, I have
been humbly instrumental in giving to my native
State 27 years of existence in the Union, during
which no national oppression has been visited
upon us, and in which we have prospered as a
State—2B years in which, if the result had been
otherwise, then, I cannot calculate, I will not at
tempt to portray what might have been, what
would have been the direful disastrous conse
quences.
Again, sir, the disunion flag w r as raised in 1850.
I was found again rauked under the banner of
my whole country —unwilling then, as now, that
the bright star of Georgia should be hurled from
its position—left to stand alone in the firmament
of nations—proud, noble, Empire as she now is—
that then even the children might look upon her
and rehearse the nursery rhyme—
“ Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
llow I wonder what you are.”
Mr. President, I say it is a matter of personal
gratulation that this has been my course from the
days of my youth, and my constituents well knew
it when they honored me with a seat on this
floor. And/sir, I say again, that these opinions
were not made an issue before the people when
you and I were elected to seats on this floor. We
were not sent here to decide the question of Un
ion and Disunion. We were sent here to make
laws for the chosen, well organized government
of the people of Georgia ; not to break up their
time-honored and valued connection and associa
tion by disrupting the ties which bind Georgia to
the other States, especially to those States which
have been true and faithful to Georgia’s rights
aud Georgia’s weal. I would not indulge this
sentiment upon this floor if I entertained it, for l
believe it is the privilege of the people to mak&
and unmake governments. It is the duty of the
Legislature to make laws for that government as
the people have constructed it. Before I could
feel authorised to vote for the disruption of the
government, I would ask an assemblage of all my
constituents to look well to this matter, aud decide
upon it for themselves ; and should they decide
separately to secede from the Union, for the mere
triumph of a party hostile in its princip'es, not in
its action as yet, at least while I would bow “To
their decision, I should not be their chosen repre
sentative. That, sir, would be my course. And
while I might be condemned for my principles, I
flatter myself that I should be commended for the
sentiment that in the people resides the great
Eower to make and unmake governments—in the
egislature, the duty to make laws for the sup
port, maiutainance, protection and enforcement
of such governments when made.
Sir, the resolutions which have been read at
your desk are sent here to me by the Secretaries
of the meeting which adopted them, expressing
the belief that if the same spirit which prevailed
there shall prevail here, “Georgia will soon be
come the Empire State in the Southern Confed
eracy.” Now, sir, if there was any resolution ex
pressing a desire that Georgia should wait with
her sister States that have had like grievances,
have suffered like wrongs aud oppressions from
other States, I say if these resolutions shadowed
forth that poliev, they would thus far meet my
approbation, iam willing to act with our sister
States which have suffered like wrougs, and if
resistance come, still to stand by them and with
them. But sir, because Massachusetts has by her
representatives in her own State Legislature per
petrated a wrong on the people of my State —be-
cause Connecticut has been faithless to herconsti
tutional obligations, do you ask me to do violence
to the land of Washington, to sever my connec
tion with my interest iu Mount Vernon and Monti
cello, because other States have proved recreant to
their obligations ; because they are faithless to my
constituents —patriotic men as I know they are,
ask me to withdraw Georgia from good old Vir
ginia, the par excellence of freedom ? Do they ask
me to give up Louisiana, to break bonds ot broth
erhood with her ? Why, sir, it is the battle-ground
of New Orleans, it is the land where the Ameri
can armies gaind their most signal triumph. They
ask me to sever my connection with gallant Ten
nessee without even the privilege of making one
pilgrimage to the Hermitage and feeling that its
patriotic hero reposes in tlie bosom of my own
country V Do they wish me to part from glori
ous old Kentucky, and to feel that the fame of'its
great Commoner is no longer our joint inheri
tance ?
Why, sir, if we must disrupt, let us ask all our
sister Southern States, with like grievances,
wrongs, oppressions aud purposes, to unite with
us in the mode and manner of resistance, wheth
er iu the Union or out of the Union, aud let us
in the mean time stand by the bond of brother
hood which we have made with them. They
have not broken it. When we have thus uuited,
we shall be prepared to meet the foe, come from
what quarter he may. I like this idea of a South
ern Confederacy. But sir, let the delegates to
our Convention come fresh from the people,
chosen to represent the interests of Georgia iu
the present emergency. xYnd sir, whenever Geor
gia shall act through such a Convention 1 am
prepared to abide her decision. If the people
prefer a separate independent State Government,
unaided, uneonuected with such States, as much
as 1 oppose that measure now, I will go with them
then. If they prefer a confederacy of the sister
Southern States, I am willing to be an humble
private citizen of that government; but if the peo
ple in their sovereign capacity through their
representatives in Convention assembled, shall
decide that they will not disrupt the government
of these United States, then I am willing to hold
up our national banner with all its stars and
stripes aud say
“Tis the star spangled banner. Oh long may it wave
O'er the homes of the free, and the home of brave.”
Mr. Holt was listened to with profound atten
tion by the Senate, and after he had taken his
seat, Mr. Lawton rose and addressed the Senate
on and in support of the resolutions from the
county of Chatham, which he had offered, they
being the same which had been sent from the
county of Muscogee.

Mount Zion, Nov. 18, 1860.
llow afflictive are God’s Providences! Yet,
conscious of His inflexible justice, we would not
bring one murmur against any :,f His dispensa
tions, but rather console ourselves by acknow
ledging that His will must be done. We have
been called once more to the execution of a task
burdened with sorrow to pay this last sud and
solemn duty devolving upon us to another of our
beloved fellow-students, George B. Wynn, who
was torn away from our hearts, and from the fond
embrace of his parents, amid the anxious tears
and prayerful emotions of his instructors. The
deceased was disposed at all times to correct any
fault to which his associates were addicted. In
consideration of these noble features of his char
acter, how can we restrain this token of our re
gard and esteem, while the last words which fell
from his lips, bade us meet him in Heaven. His
death was eminently tranquil and serene—blessed
with a consciousness of a well spent life. There

Resolved, That in respect'to our fellow-student,
we will wear the usual emblem of mourning thirty
days.

Suspension of a Banking House. —We regret
to announce to-day the suspension of Samuel
Harris & Sons, Bankers, long and favorably
known in this city. From the information which
we have been able to gather, it appears that this
house has decided to close their doors, at least for
the present, rather as a precautionary measure
than from actual necessity. It is uot possible, of
course, to make an exact statement of their con
dition without a thorough examination of their
affairs. They do not propose, we learn, to put
the management of their assets out of their own
hands, but will probably be able to make a com
prehensive statement in a short time.— Baltimore
American, 23 d.
Letter lrotn Gen. Lane
In reply to a communication addressed to Gen.
Lane by a committee appointed by the Breckin
ridge and Lane Club of the city of New York,
asking the General’s views in regard to the pres
ent crisis, the Senator from Oregon has written
the subjoined letter :
Washington, D. C., Nov. 20, 1860.
Gentlemen : Yours of the 15th inst. is received.
The address embodying the views of the commit
tee, which you say was enclosed, has not reached
me. With your request that I should make “such
suggestions as, in my judgment, would tend to
preserve our institutions aud our government,”
I proceed briefly to comply.
Nothing is plainer than that ours is a govern
ment of limited powers—formed by States equal
iu sovereignty, equal in dignity and equal in
rights. This equality, in all respects and in all
things, must be maintained. Any act by the peo
ple, or by any branch or department of’ the gov
ernment, tending to impair this equality is an
usurpation, and the destruction of that equality is
virtually a destructien of the Union. Have we
not reached a point in the history of our govern
ment when it may be said with truth that this
equality has been seriously menaced, if not im
paired or destroyed ?
Never w r as a proposition more plainly put, nor
an issue more directly made, than that upon
which the people lately rendered their verdict.
Shall the peonle of all the States possess and en
joy equal rights and privileges in the common
territory of our common country? By a majori
ty almost fabulous a Northern’ sectional party
have determined that the people of the Southern
States shall not enter into the common territory
and carry their property with them—that no more
States recognizing property iu slaves (as did
twelve of the thirteen original States) shall ever
be admitted into the Union. Can any man whose
mind is capable of discriminating between right
and wrong say that this is just and right, and in
‘accordance with the spirit or letter of the consti
tution? To me it appears plain that the equal
rights under the constitution of those States re
cognizing slavery have been violated by their
Northern neighbors in the verdict which they
have rendered, to tlie effect that the States are
not equal, that the people of fifteen sovereign
States shall not go to the territory with their
property; that they are inferiors, and must sub
mit not only to inequality, bpt. degradation. Now,
can the Union be held together upon such terms?
If we would preserve the Union we must main
tain the constitution and the equality of States,
and be just and deal fairly by every portion of
our country.
Ift my judgment, the Northern people are un
just and unwise in denying to the citizens of the
Southern States the right to emigrate to and set
tle in the Territories with their slave property.
They are wrong in holding that no more slave
States shall be admitted into the Union, for it is
clearly the right of the people of a Territory,
when their population entitles them to admission
into the Union, to form such government as may
suit them, and, whether slave or free, it is the duty
ot Congress to admit them. And they are wrong
m permitting to remain upon the statute-books
laws obstructive of the faithful execution of the
fugitive slave law. Let them speedily take steps
to correct these wrongs, and maintain good faith
toward all tlie States, as was maintained in the
early days of the Republic. This is in their pow
er, and in no other way can they avert dissolu
tion ; tor no one, in my opinion, who is at all in
formed as to the framework of our Government,
can conclude that the Federal Government has
tlie Constitutional power to use force against a
State for resuming the powers which it delegated
to the General Government, when its rights have
been infringed or equality refused ; or, if the Go
vernment had the power, that it would be w T ise or
prudent to use it. The Union was not formed by
force, nor can ii be maintained by force. It whs
a voluntary lluiou of sovereign States, and when
ever the rights of any of them shall be infringed,
or equality refused, and they find it necessarv and
shall desire to part, there is no power that can
keep them together, or that should attempt it.
I am, gentlemen, with much respect, your obd’t
serv ’t, _ Josspn Lane.
Public Education.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Education, has introduced a bill in the
House of Representatives, to create and establish
a Commissioner of Public Schools, to define the
duties, and provide for the appointment of the
same. Its leading features are—
1. The Governor shall appoint an officer to be
called a Commissioner of Public Schools, who
shall hold his office two years, with a salary of
$3,000, and visit tlie various sections of the State
to investigate anil report the wants of education.
2. That in his digest of information, the Com
missioner shall ascertain if one plan can be made
available for the entire State, and if not, to group
and classify the counties under various schedules
ns their wants may require, and to suggest the
plans of education to each of the schedules. He
shall also correspond with teachers on the subject
of procuring uniformity in school books, and may
arrange with publishing houses for a large quanti
ty of school books so as to cheapen the price.
3. J hat it shall be the uuty of the Commission
er to diffuse as widely as possible, by public ad
dresses, a knowledge of the detects and desirab'e
improvements in the present system of schools,
and to arouse the people in favor of a more effi
cient diffusion of education throughout the State.
4. That it shall he the duty of the Commissioner
to report on the expediency of establishing one
or more thoroughly organised Normal Schools in
this State, where teachers, und such as propose to
teach, may be prepared to conduct Public Schools
to most advantage
5. Directs how funds should be applied in mili
tia districts in which no schools exist, the money
to be loaued on security, Ac.
6. That any Treasurer or Ordinary who shall
embezzle school funds, or who fails to make a sat
isfactory settlement when called on by the county
Commissioner, should be deemed guilty of felony,
and on conviction shall be imprisoned in the peni
tentiary not less than two", nor more than ten
years.
7. That no portion of the funds set apart for
school purposes, shall be paid to any person born
i m a non-sfaveholdiug State, unless such person
shall have been a resident of Georgia or some
I other slaveholding State, for the term of three
years prior te the payment ; provided, nothing
in the act shall be so construed as to apply to
persons now engaged in teaching within this
State.
This hill is a substitute for the bills severally in
troduced by Messrs. Allen of Bauks, Andrews of
\\ ilkes, and llockenhull ot Dawson, and which
had been referred to the Committee on Education.

Crawfokdville, Nov. 24, 1860.
Agreeable to previous notice, a large meeting
of the citizens of Taliaferro, of all parties, assem
bled in the Court House to-day to give expression

litical questions of the day.
John Rhodes, Sr., was called to preside, and
Frederick A. Bingley to act as Secretary, und the
following resolution was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, 1 hat while we do uot consider the
election of Lincoln and Hamlin as sufficient cause
for Disunion or Secession, we cordially approve
of a call of the Legislature of a Convention of the
people of this State, to take into consideration
and determine the time, mode, and measure of
redress against threatened aggression upon our
Constitutional rights.
Dr. S, 11. Perkins and lion. Alexander 11. Ste
phens were, by acclamation, nominated and re
commended to the voters of the county to repre
sent us in the coming Convention.

speech full of his characteristic, calm, clear, and
convincing eloquence, after which the meeting
adjourned.

The Oxygenated Hitlers.-— For years medical sci
encc has been taxed and the skill of the 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 expul these diseases from the
system until Dr. Green made known ins discovery of the OXY
GENATED BITTERS. Such is its remarkable power and
peculiarity, that cases which 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 diseasesof the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
Geueial Debility It la equally salutary and certain.
[From \V. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.) Times.]
Cos vino ton, April 7,1860.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle ACo Gentlemen : Having derived
benetit from the use of the Oxygenat ed Bitters, 1 am glad to do
the public a favor by recommending tnem. For Dyspepsia and
its attendant evils, I consider it a remedy of inestimable value.
W. A. Harp.
Hon. Wra.W. Lamb, formerly Mayor of Norfolk, Ya„ has
just rendered the following testimony of the reeults produced
by the use of the Oxygenated Bitters:
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle A Co.—Gentlemen: One of my ser
vants suftered 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 Ritters and
recovered her health. W*. W. l.Aitn.

lirundretli’* Pills are growing more in favor with th
public. It is now conceded they are the best purgative yet put
firth 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 them grown and prepared without regard to the expense.
And this care to makeapopu ar purgative is appreciated, as
their sales Indicate. Other purgatives are dragging a flickering
existence. And yet they may have some merit. But BKAN
DRETHbS 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 of the
body leaves it stronger. They are as pleasant as a truly effec
tive medicine can be. To say that they will not sometime give
pain would not be crue, but the pain they give is only because
they remove those trade and bad humors from the blood which
are the occasion of disease. They open nature’s avenues, and
this cannot always be done pleasantly.

l.y Fever and Ague is a terrible disease. Os “all the
ills that flesh is heir to,” It Is the faintest in its first manifesta
tions, the mo.-t unrelenting In its progress, and the most defi
ant of medical t kill. Fever and Ague is more destructive of
life than consumption, because it is more easily Induced, and
therefore more, prevalent. It marks its victims for the grave,
like an executioner’s bond. Day by day the sufferer grows
weaker and weaker, and each hour does he feel a st rong con
sciousness of approaching the tomb. We have said that the
disease is one of those which has nearly always defied medical
science—a few cases once in a while having been cured ami re- ,

gulp down quinine, until it becomes as common as their daily I

by living witnesses. The. AMBROSIAL OIL is a Nashville
preparation, and sold throughout the South and Southwest by
all good druggists and general dealers. The South may be just
, ly proud that Dr. Clark, a native Tennesseean, after much labor
anu research, has produced a really worthy medicine, which is
bound to drive out much of the worthless imported trash vith
which the country is flooded.
Please call at our office, where we will take pleasure in show
ing letters ami testimonials too numerous to set forth In the
form of an advertisement, some of which came from Physicians
in high standing, who are using it In their practice, as they state,
with marvelous effects.
We challenge the world to produce a remedy so speedy and I
-effectual in its healing properties. I
fW Read the evidence ofthe virtue of Clark & Fuller’s f
Ambrosial Oil, evidence so authentic, and from persons whose J
word and standing are irreproachable. Head and life convinced.

EVERY MERCHANT
SHOULD HAVE A
Reliable Fire and Burglar Proof
SAFE 2
THE only successful attempt to manufacture SAFES upon
aciimtiflc, and therefore reliable principles, is found in
Val entine & Butler’s Alum Patent Fire and Burglar Proof
SA FE. Chemistry Ims been brought to aflord its assistance to
thin important ooject, and with the most absolute success. The
me rchant has in tills Safe a perfect guaranty for the safety of
his records, In all the required forms of security against tire,
depredation and dampness. The manufacturers clam, upon
the following grounds, that this is the only depository devised
for the safe-keeping of valuables, which can justly lie termed a
SAFE. The Safes sold by the various makers, are tilled either
on the .vaporizing or non-conducting principle. The Alum
Pa tent Safe is made upon the former principle. All others are
tilted with Plaster of Paris, Pipe Ulav, or s milar substances,
called non-conductors of heat, whicli quality neither these or
any others possess, except In a partial aud inadequate degree.
Th ey are, however, sometimes successful In resisting a mode
rat e fire, because the plaster is put in when moist, but this
moisture dries out at the rate or twenty per cent a year, besides
coirodlng the lining of the Hfife, and Injuring documents by
reason of the dampness having a tendency to disenarge ink
frum paper. Important documents have been frequently de
stroyed by being kept in damp Safes. Many Safes, which their
owners confidently count upon as security for their money aud
papers, will be found to be anything but Safes In the time of
trial, especially if they are three or four years old.
The Alum Patent Safe Is filled with natural salts, which re
main perfectly dry until heated, when they discharge so much
steam as to render it impossible for their contents to be de
stroyed. During the twelve years they have been in use. not
withstanding hundreds of them have been subjected to the
severest ordeals, not one has failed to preserve its coutents un
injured. As fast as the public liecome acquainted with the
principle upon which a Sa f e should be made, they purchase
them to the exclusion of all others. Their quality as a Burglar
Proof Sate has been most severely tested, and in no instance
has the burglar succeeded In entering one of them. The lock
is powder-proof, and the key can be carried in the vest pocket
