Nullifying Staten.
There are a number of the original States of
the Federal Union, and others of later admission
to its privileges and its duties, which have wil
fully and deliberately violated a plain provision of
the Constitution, and the Federal law made in
pursuance thereof. These States, by the acts of
their Legislatures, have clearly nullified a law of
the Union—a law absolutely demanded by comi
ty, equality and justice, as well as by the plain
letter of the Constitution —and a law which the
South, in the troubles of 1860, unequivocally ie
quired, as a condition precedent to her continu
e ancein the Union. The people of Georgia, in
their sovereign capacity, by a convention of dele
gates, in December, 1850, decided, by a large ma
jority, to abide by and acquiesce iu the Congres
sional legislation of that year in relation to all
matters connected with African slavery.
While Georgia did not favor the admission of
California as a free State, nor the abolition of the
slave trade in the District, nor the dismember
ment of Texas, she nevertheless consented and
agreed that her rights, honor and interest did not
demand resistance to these measures, in conside
ration of the fact that Congress abandoned the
Wilmot Proviso as to the common domain, that
Congress solemnly agreed that new States should
be admitted into the Union, (carved out of these
disputed Territories,) either with or without
slavery, as the people thereof might determine in
the formation of their Constitutions, and that Con
gress passed (and pledged the Government to a
faithful fulfilment and enforcement of it,) what
was deemed a necessary and more stringent fugi
tive slave law. For these reasons, and for the
additional reason that Congress agreed, and all
parties agreed, that this should be a full and final
settlement of all matters in dispute between the
North and the South, in regard to slavery, Geor
gia, solemnly and with great unanimity, pledged
herself and her people to maintain, not only alle
giance to the Constitution and the Union, but her
fellowship w ith the States of the North—agreed,
honorably and in good faith, to bear her burdens
and discharge her duties to the full, in this Union
her duties to the Government and to her sister
States—and as solemnly required that the Gov
ernment, and the States, and the people thereof,
should fully and fairly, and without any equivo
cation or reservation, bear their burdens and dis
charge their obligations.
And now, after the lapse of ten years, what has
come to pass—what do we behold? Has not
Georgia, have not the Southern States, discharged
to the letter, all their aucient and their later obli
gations? Have they not obeyed the laws of the
Union, and acted in good faith and with neighbor
ly kindness and comity to the States of the
North? Can any one gainsay it? And how about
the General Government, and the States of the
North? The Government has maintained its
faith, so far as it seemed to consider its power
was available in regard to the fugitive slave law,
and little or no complaint has been made against
it Tor either want ofpporerw r er or will. It is true that
the Government has refused to admit a State ap
plying, with slavery in her Constitution, but no
considerable complaint was heard from the South.
Tne Government has abstaned from applying the
Proviso to the Territories, has abstained from in
terfereing with slavery in the District, and the
slave trade between the States, and has not re
pealed or essentially modified the federal law,
with regard to the rendition of fugitives from la
bor.
Thus matters stand, up to this time, so far as
regards the Government and slavery. Recently,
by the election of Abraham Lincoln, the North
has declared that it w ill no longer abide by its
obligations, but that it will bring the power of the
Government to prevent the extension of our in
stitutions to the public domain, that no more
slave States shall become members of the Confed
eracy, that the Government will exert its power,
to the full extent of its capacity, to interfere with
slavery everywhere, whenever it can make this
interference available to harass and destroy. We
lia\ s e hot much to say now of this, for while fana
ticism has succeeded in electing its President, it
lias not got coutrol of all depertments of the Go
vernment. But this election is a declaration of
purpose, to be fulfilled when the power is acquir
ed, and therefore it demands resistance at our
hands, to the full extent of our power, and the
toll extent that wisdom, and sound policy, and a
due regard for our safety and our honor require*
But we wish to speak of these States that have
nullified the Constitution and the law. And our
deliberate opinion is that such States have no just
authority, having abandoned, and forsaken, and
neglected and refused to carry out their obliga
tions aiul bi ar their burdens in this Government,
to claim and receive any of the benefits and priv
ileges of the Union. They are outlaws —they have
really, and to ali intents and purposes, violated
their faitlr,’broken the compact, and are no iongcr
justly, if they be legally, members of this Confed
eracy. In our judgment they are not entitled to
cast their votes for a President of these thirty
three United States. They may elect their own
rulers, but they cgn not justly impose them on us.
And of right their votes should be thrown out of
the Colleges. But it'is held that as we went into
the fight with these nullifying States, we are es
topped now, from refusing to allow their votes
counted. If so, then we ourselves are to blame
for it, that we did go into the contest with them,
and tacitly ugreed to abide the issue. At last we
have waked up, and if it be too late to refuse to
count their votes, we are still in condition to re
sist, and resist we certainly will.

No Mori, Dred Scott Decisions Shall now be
Made. —This is the declaration of Senator Trum
bull, of Illinois, in the presence, almost, of Mr.
Lincoln, at a Republican meeting at Springfield,
on Tuesday evening. What does it mean ? It
means just this, —if there is any meaning in the
English language, that, with the government in
Republican hands, the Supreme Court is to be no
longer “supreme,” so far as the South, and the
institutions of the South, are concerned. Under
all the circumstances of the our judgment,
this is the boldest, we had almost said, the wick
edest, enunciation of Republican policy, we have
yet heard. The Illinois Senator is known to be
high in the confidence of the President elect, and
on this occasion he seems to have spoken as an
authorized exponent of the principles and policy
of the to be Republican Administration.
It is thus that Mr. Lfbcoln’s advisers, if not Mr.
Lincoln himself, are adding to the conflagration
now spreading throughout the slave States, and
’producing the most disastrous effect upon the
great business interests of the country here and
elsewhere. .In answer to the appeals for modera
tion, justice, fair play, and eaual rights, that are
even now, at the eleventh four coming up to
Northern ears from many quarters of the South,
the fiat from Springfield goes forth, from the near
presence of the President elect, “No more Dred
§oott decisions shall be made.” In other words,
• the Supreme Court shall give anti-slavery decis
ions, Republican sectional decisions, or none at
*ll.-3’. Y. Express.
Iffesimge of the Governor of Nortli Car
olina*
The message of Gov. Ellis, of North Carolina,
read before the Legislature of that State on Tues
day, is received.
In that part of the message referring to Federal
relations he says, the “Northern States have vio
lated our rights to an extent that would scarcely
have beeu borne by anv other people on earth.
The nullification laws, sending emissaries among
our slaves, the John Brown raid, and the relusal
of the Governors of lowa and Ohio to surrender
the fugitives connected with it, are recalled, and
the message adds: .
The forbearauce with winch the South has
borne these indignities and wrongs, has utterly
failed to secure a corresponding forbearance upon
the part of our aggressors. The spirit of fanati
cism by which they are influenced, growing bold
er by its lawless riot and unobstructed indulgence,
has at last so far united the Northern masses as
to enable them to seize upon the General Govern
ment with all its power of nurse and sword. Two
persons have beeu elected, exclusively by the
people of one section of the country, upon a prin
ciple hostile to the institutions and domestic poli
cy of the other. Neither of them received an
electoral voce in all the fifteen Southern State,
and neither could have uttered, in many of them,
the political sentiments upon which they are ele
vated to power without subjecting himself to the
penalties of the local criminal laws. A clearer
case es a foreign dominatien as to us could not
we’l be presented ; and that it will be a hostile
domination, past occurrences and the circum tan
ces under which they have been elected, forbid us
to doubt. That any people, having a due appre
ciation of the principles of liberty, could long
submit to such a domination, it is impossible to
suppose.
They now tell us that this election has been con
ducted according to the forms of the Constitution,
and that therefore the people of the South should
take no exception to the fact. They, who them
selves have utterly refused to be bound by that
Constitution, now hold it up to us as a bond to
secure us from defending our property and lives
against their oppressions.
It is true, Abraham Lincoln is elected President
according to the forms of the Constitution ; it is
equally true, that George 111. was the rightful oc
cupant of the British Throne, yet our fathers sub
mitted not to his authority. They rebelled not
against the man, because of any defect of his title
to the crown, but against the more substantial
fact—thetvranny of bis Ministers and Parliament.
That power “behind the tlvone,” and which in
the name of the throne attempted to deprive them
of their liberties, was the one w ith which they grap
pled. So it is with us. It is not the man, Abra
ham Lincoln, that we regard, but the power that
elevated him to office, and which w ill naturally
maintain a controlling influence in his Administra
tion. And can it reasonably be expected, that
men who have totally disregarded their constitu
tional obligations, and proved so dangerous in the
administration of their State Governments, will
learn moderation by this new gratification of their
lust of power and dominion ?
When it is considered that the sentiment of
hostility to African slavery is deeply fixed in the
minds of the Northern people—that lor twentv
five years it has formed a part of their education
—been inculcated in the family circle, and taught
to them from the pulpit, as a leading principle of
their religion, together with the duty of its prac
tical enforcement “everywhere and on every oc
casion, “ it must be confessed that there exists but
little ground upon which to rest a hope that our
rights w ill be secured to us by the General Gov
ernment administered at their hands.
This condition of public affairs, as was to have
been expected, threatens the most deplorable con
sequences to the Confederacy. Already it is ren
dered more than probablif that several of the
Southern States in the exercise of the mutual
rights of nations, will separate from the Federal
Union before the termination of your present
session. Such an occurrence would present a
grave state of facts, commanding your most seri
ous and solemn deliberation.
It cannot for a moment be supposed that we
could submit to have the policy of the Abolition
party, upon which their candidate for the Presi
dency has been elected, carried out in his Admin
istration, as it would result iu the destruction of
our property, and the placing the lives of our
people in daily peril; and even though this should
not be immediately attempted, yet an effort, to
employ the military power of the General Gov
ernment against one of the Southern States, would
present an emergency demanding prompt and
decided action on our part. It can but be mani
fest that a blow thus aimed at one of the Southern
States would involve the whole country in a civil
war, the destructive consequences of which, to us,
could only be controlled by our ability to resist
those engaged in waging it.
The civilization of the age, surely, ought to be
a sufficient guaranty for the prevention of so great
a calamity as intestine war, even though amid po
litical changes of the magnitude of those going on
around us. But, should the incoming administra
tion be guilty of the folly and the wickednessj of
drawing the sword against any Southern State,
whose people may choose to seek that protection
out of the Federal Union which is denied to them
in it, then we of North Carolina would owe it to
ourselves—to the liberties we have inherited from
our fathers —to the peace of our homes and fami
lies. dearer to us than all governments, to resist it
to the last extremity.
Ours is a government of public opinion, and not
of force ; and the employment of military force to
control the popular will would, if successful, re
sult in a galling and inexorable despotism.
The prevention, then, of civil war and the pre
servation of peace amongst us, are the great ob
jects which North Carolina should resolve upon
seem ing, whatever changes the Government may
undergo.
In view of the perilous condition of the country,
it is, in mv opinion, becoming und proper that we
should have some consultation with those States
identified with us in interest and in the wrongs
w r e have suffered ; and especially those lying im
mediately adjacent to us. As any action of ours
would of necessity materially affect them, it would
be but consistent with the amicable relations that
have ever existed between us, to invite them to a
consultation upon a question that so deeply af
fects us all. From a calm and deliberate conside
ration of the best mode of avoiding a common
danger, much good might result and no evil could.
In thus proceeding we would show to the world
a disposition to exhaust every peaceable remedy
for the solution of our difficulties and a firm de
termination to maintain our rights “in the Union
if possible, and out of it if necessary.”
Such a step, too, would be but a becoming mark
of respect to that considerable portion of the peo
ple of the non-slaveholding States who have ever
been disposed to acknowledge ns as equals in the
Union, and who have, on many occasions, gal
lantly struggled to secure our Constitutional
rights.
I, therefore, respectfully recommend that you
invite the Southern States to a conference, or such
of them as may be inclined to enter into consulta
tion with us upon the present condition of the
country. Should such a conference be found
impracticable, then I would recommend the
sending of one or more delegates to our neigh
boring States with the view of securing concert of
action.
I also thiuk that the public safety requires a re
currence to our own people for an expression of
this opinion. The will of the people once ex
pressed wili be alaw 7 of action with all, and secure
that unanimity so necessary in an emergency like
the present.
I therefore ’ recommend that a Conventton of
the people of the State be called, to assemble im
mediately after the proposed consultation with
other Southern States shall have terminated.
TRe subject of our military defences will re
quire your early attention. I would recommend
a thorough reorganization of the militia and the
enrolment of all persons between the ages of 18
and 45 years. With such a regulation our muster
roll would contain near a hundred and ten thous
and men.
I would also recommend the formation of a
corps of ten thousand volunteers, with an organi
zation separate from the main body of the militia,
and that they be suitably’ armed and equipped.
That vour proceedings may be conducted in a
spirit of harmony and conciliation, and that they
will redound to the honor snd welfare of North
Carolina and our common country, is my fervent
desire.
Election Frauds. —The friends of Judge Doug
las in Illinois, Ohio and other Northwestern States
charge the success of Lincoln in those States to
wholesale frauds on the part of his supporters —
and point to facts which go far to sustain the
allegation. Thus the Chicago Herald says :
We would have rather lost the election than to
have been forced to believe in the utter corrup
tion of so many of our opponents. Eyery mail
brings us the most startling developments of un
fairness, trickery, fraud and corruption. It would
be a vain and heartless effort to attempt to reca-
Eitulate them. To attempt to deny them would
eas vain as to attempt to recite them. There is
one fact that stands out so clear upon this record
of crime, that he w 7 ere a bold man who would
dare face it. In 1858, the vote in Illinois, when
Douglas and Lincoln stumped the whole State, in a
most exciting canvass, amounted to 252,000 in
round numbers. The vote of 1860 will exceed
320,000. Thus in two years the increase of the
vote in Illinois was 70,000 ! This vote, at the ex-.
tremely moderate estimate of six inhabitants to
the voter, would make our increase in population
in two years 420,000 ! Such a fact as this, at a
period when it is known that thousands of our
people have gone to Pike’s Peak, to the South
and elsewhere, on account of the hard times, and
when we have had little or no immigration into
the State, is so conclusive of the mammoth char
acter of the frauds in Illinois, as to render all
comment useless. Let the world look at it in all
its beauty— lllinois increases her vote over 70,000
and her population 420,000 in two years! Let Re
publicans digest that, when they crow their tri
umph for honest old Abe.
And the Cincinnati Enquirer says :—“The indi
cations are certain that there have been enormous
frauds perpetrated by the Republicans at the
late election. Counties in Northern Ohio have
given one vote to about four persons, and we pre
sume the same, if not a wose state of things, ex
isted in Illinois. All such votes are frauds. It is
well lor Democrats in Illinois and in other free
States to show up the facts, and they may be of
such a nature as to lead to a contest in regard to
the result, either before the courts or the House
of Representatives.”
Value of a Wife’s Affections.— ln the suit of
Orville H. Brown in New York, against Chas. M.
Davidson, for seducing the affections of the plain
tiff’s wife from said plaintiff, the jury gave a ver
dict of six cents damages.
J Her son on Secession.
Mr. Editor :--The question which is now agi
tating the country is no new one. Propositions
for secession were made when the Constitution of
the United States was scarcely ten years old, and
for similar reasons—the overbearing conduct of
the Northern States.
It may be well at this time to call to mind the
cool philosophy with which Thomas Jefferson,
the great patriarch of Democracy, viewed the
proposition for secession at that time. The rea
sons why he discountenanced it then, are worthy
of consideration now, having lost none of their
strength by time and events. The following is an
extract from his letter on the übject :
THOMAS JEFFERSON TO JOHN TAYLOR.
Philadelphia, June 1, 1798.
* * * *****
Mr. New showed me your letter on the subject
of the patent, which gave me an opportunity of
observing what you said as to the effect, with you,
of public proceedings, and that it was not unwise
now to estimate the separate mass of Virginia and
North Carolina, with a view to their separate ex
istence. It is true that we are completely under
the saddle of Massachusetts and Connecticut, and
that they ride us very hard, cruelly insulting our
feelings, as well as exhausting our strength and
subsistence. Their natural friends, the three other
eastern States, join them fiom a sort of family
pride, and they have the art to divide certain other
parts of the Union so as to make use of them to
govern the whole. This is not new, it is the old
practice of despots ; to use a part of the people to
keep the rest in order. And those who have once
got an ascendancy, and possessed themselves of
all the resources of the nation, their revenues and
offices, have immense means for retaining their
advantage. But our present situation is not a na
tural one. The republicans, through every part
of the Union, say, that it was the irresistible influ
ence and popularity of General Washington play
ed off'by the cuuniug of Hamilton, which turned
the government over to anti-republican hands, or
turned the republicans chosen by the people into
anti-republicans. lie delivered it over to his suc
cessors in this state, and very untoward events
since, improved with great artifice, have produced
on the public mind the impressions we see. But
still I repeat it, this is not the natural state. Time
alone would bring round an order of things more
correspondent to the sentiipents of our constitu
ents. But are there no events impending, which
will do it within a few mouths ? The crisis with
England, the public and authentic avowal of sen
timents hostile to the leading principles of our
constitution, the prospect of a war, in which we
shall stand alone, land-tax, stamp-tax, increase of
public debt. Ac. Be this as it may, in every free
und deliberating society, there must, from the na
ture of man, be opposite parties, and violent dis
sensions and discords ; and one of these, for the
most part, must prevail over the other for a lon
ger or shorter time. Perhaps this party division
is necessary to induce each to watch and delate to
the people the proceedings of the otlibr. But if
ou a temporary superiority of the oue party, the
other is to resort to a scission of the Union, no
federal government can ever exist. If to rid our
selves of the present rule of Massachusetts aud
Connecticut, we break the Union, will the evil
stop there ? Suppose the New England States
alone cut off', will our natures be changed ? Are
we not men still to the south ot that, and with all
the passions of men ? Immediately, we shall see
a Pennsylvania and a Virginia party arise in the
residuary confederacy, and the public mind will
be distracted with the same party-spirit. What a
game too will the one party have in their hands,
by eternally threatening the other, that unless
they do so and so, they will join their northern
neighbors. If we reduce our Union to Virginia
and North Carolina, immediately the conflict will
be established between the representatives of
these two States, and they will end by breaking
into their simple units. Seeing, therefore, that
an association of ffieu who will not quarrel with
one another is a thing which never yet existed,
from the greatest confederacy of nations down to
a town meeting or a vestry ; seeing that we must
have somebody to quarrel with, l had rather keep
our New England associates for that purpose, than
to see our bickerings transferred to others. They
are circumscribed within such narrow limits, and
their population so full, that their numbe-s will
ever be the minority, aud they are marked, like
the Jews, with such “a perversity of character, as
to constitute, from that circumstance, the natural
division of our parties. A little patience, and we
shall seethe reign of witches passover, their spells
dissolved, and the people recovering their true
sight, restoring their government to its true prin
ciples. It, is true, that in the mean time, we are
suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the hor
rors of a war, and long oppressions of enormous
public debt. But who can say what would be the
evils of a scission, and when and where they would
end ? Better keep together as we are, haul oft’
from Europe as soon as we can, and from all at
tachments to any portions ot it ; and if they show
their powers just sufficiently to hoop us together,
it will be the happiest situotion in which we can
exist. If the game runs sometimes against us at
home, we must have patience till luck turns, and
and then we shall have an opportunity of winning
back the principles we have lost. For this is a
game where principles are at stake. Better luck,
therefore, to .us all, and health, happiness, und
friendly salutations to yourself. Adieu.
IJertiouoi Delegate*— Be Cool and keep
down l*arty Spirit.
The bill providing for a Convention of the peo
ple of Georgia to determine the mode, manner and
timeai resistance that this State will offer to ex
isting grievances, lias unanimously passed both
Houses of the Legislature and become a law.—
This harmonious action was secured by taking a
middle ground between those of different views in
the Legislature, and is doubtless the golden mean
between the extreme measures proposed.
It must be highly gratifying to all good citizens
of this commonwealth that the first two steps to
wards the great revolution upon which we are
now entering—foi a revolution it surely is, but we
hope a bloodless one—have been taken so far as
Legislative action is concerned, without one op
posing voice. We allude to the appropriation of
a million dollars, and the call fora Convention.
The Legislature has surely set a good example
and it is most sincerely to be hoped that the peo
ple in the selection of Delegates to repreeent the
different counties will all make patriotic efforts to
be equally harmonious in their action, and act
like a band of brothers in the great common
cause. There will be no use there for the partisan
friends of Breckinridge, Bell or Douglas; but we
want Georgia patriots, good men and .rue; those
who can appreciate the awful grandeur of the po
sition this .State now occupies; who will listen to
reason, and yet still be firm in the maintenance
of right and correct policy.
Each county will be entitled to as many dele
gates in this Convention as they have members
in both Houses of the Legislature, arid these ought
to be the best men in the respective counties if it
can be ascertained who these are, and in their se
lection no reference whatever should he had to
their former political prejudices. To these men
it will be remembered, the people will delegate
the power of declaring Georgia out of the Union ;
either alone or with other States; immediately or
at any subsequent date; absolutely, or contingent
ly upon their refusal to accede to any demands
that may be made upon the uon-slaveholdiug
States; or, to adopt any other mode or measure
of redress for our grievances which they may
deem wise and prudent, when assembled,
In corlsiderat on of the very great power given
to this Convention and the consequent intense in
terest*every man has in being truly represented
by those in whom lie has confidence, we suggest
that there be but the number of candidates run in
the respective counties to which they are each en
titled in the Convention, and that these candidates
be nominated by ballot, every man in the country
to vote in the nomination the same as if it wus
an election.
Our plan is this : that, the nomination should bo
made at an early day, say Saturday the Btli of
December. Let due notice be given, and open
the polls at every precinct in the county ; call up
on every man wiio is entitled to vote for represen
tatives to the Legislature to deposit his ballot for
the men he prefers to represent him in the coming
State Convention. These ballotings may be man
aged by persons elected for that purpose by the
Ele of each precinct. The results of the bal
gs at the different precincts shall ail be sent
up to the Court House and consolidated, and the
persons getting the highest number of votes shall
be declared nominated, and these only should be
regarded as candidates in the election.
By this mode we should hope that all strife
would be kept down and every voter in each coun
ty would have a voice in bringing out the candi
dates. Conventions for nominating candidates
formerly did very well, but the people during the
past few years have been tricked so often by them,
aid deprived of their choice, that they have lost
confidence in them—as they now become log-roll
ing and wire-pulling machines. Our only object
in suggesting this plan is to secure harmony
among our people and at the same time give eve
ry sovereign voter an equal voice in this matter
of such great, importance. The principles of gen
uine democracy yet prevail, and the will of the
majority, when properly expressed, will doubtless
be acquiesced in by ull. In this election let our
motto still be “ Prudence, Justice and Moderation
let us exercise charity towards those with whom
we may differ, apctYemember that the great inter
est of all is the same. —Rome Courier.
A White Woman Among Native Africans.—A
Sierra Leone paper states tnat a white woman,
who accompanied her husband, a missionary, up
the Cavalla river last May, excited the greatest
curiosity and admiration among the sable dwellers
in that benighted region, where a white woman
had never been seen. All wanted to touch her,
and great surprise was expressed upon feeling her
hair. The King of the Nyinemo tribe called her
“very fine,” and complimented her husband great
ly for selecting her. And when she told him he
might see other white women who would surpass
her, he said that would either never be, or else a
very long time. Owing to her presence, the at
tendance on preaching was extraordinary large.
During her vist at the Mission Station, husbands
went to see her, who said they could feel satisfied
to die now that they had seen such q, wonderful
thing as a white woman.
Rescue of.Fugitive Slaves.— The Chicago
Times says that about forty negroes of that city
have oiganized a military company under the
name of “Freedom Guards.” One of the objects
of their organization is to rescue fugitives from
the hands of government officers whenever any
such shall be captured.

AN APPEAL.
Beneath the clouds which o’er us lower,
Amid the perils of the hour,
With calmness, born of conscious power,
Here let us pause ;
Great acts, with greater issues fraught,
Should offsprings be of sober thought—
Not passion’s heat.
Oh ! if the links must sundered be
Which make us one from sea to sea—
One glorious nation of the free—
Strike not in haste;
Too soon, at best must fall the blow —
Too soon fraternal blood may flow,
If wc must strike.
So, (while we keep our powder dry,)
Let us each peaceful measure try,
Ere to arms and strife we fly ;
Oh ! let us pause,
Ere thefinal word be spoken —
Ere this brotherhood be broken —
Torn, State from State.
Here let us make a last appeal—
Try yet again old wounds to heal —
Before we take the deadly steel
In mailed hands ;
Still iu the Union, for the right,
Let us the South-land’s battles fight,
Like loyal men.
Beneath the clouds that o’er us lower,
Amid the perils of the hour,
Calm in the consciousness of power,
Here let us stand;
Demanding firmly what is just,
Ready to fight, iffight we must,
As brave men

TAKE HEART.—Miss Proctor.
All day the stormy wind has blown
From off the dark and rainy sea ;
No bird has past the window flown,
The only song has been the moan
The wind made in the willow tree.
This is the summer’s burial time ;
She died when dropped the earliest leaves,
And cold upon her rosy prime
Fell down the autumn’s frosty rime—
Yet I am not as one that grieves;
For well I know o’er sunny seas
The blue bird waits for April skies ;
And at the roots of forest, trees
The May-flowers sleep in fragrant ease,
And violets hide Iheir azure eyes.
O thou, by winds of grief o’erblown
Beside some golden summer’s bier—
Take heart! —thy birds are only flown,
Thy blossoms sleeping, tearful sown,
To greet thee in the immortal year !
The Columbus Times publishes the following
extract from a letter, written by a Massachusetts
man :
While I have a good opinion of cotton, I do not
feel like operating iu the present unsettled state
of political affairs. We did elect Wm. Appleton,
and if a little prudence enters into the expression
and action of your good State (Georgia) we shall,
in a little time, drive home the weitge which has
been entered ; and then Massachusetts will be re
deemed from the hands of the “freebooters,” who
now disgrace us at home and abroad. You know
that in the Union your rights will be respected,
and 1 know that there is yet conservatism enough
in the country to insure that justice shall be done
the whole country.
Do your duty and I will do mine, and when the
time for actiou comes, the free-negro States of the
North (which now disgrace us,)shall be “brought
into line,” or we will agree to fight them, and
save you the trouble. I have strong hopes that
the difficulty will yet be settled. Even now the
so-called Republican party are inclined, (and in
fact are) taking back steps—the battle is to be
fought here among the conservative men of the
North, and the feeling is, that we (the Webster
men) can whip and outvote thirty each, of these
sneaking Black Republicans. I caimot express
half the hate and disgust 1 feel for Sumner and
others, who are the immediate cause of this trou
ble. May God, in his providence, rid us of them
in his own way, is the prayer of
Yours Truly.
California Politics—The State Gone for
Lincoln. —The Pony Express, from San Francisco
on the evening of Nov loth, has arrived at St.
Joseph. The steamer Sonora sailed on the morn
ing of that day for Panama, with SBBO,OOO and 8(14
passengers for New York. The following politi
cal intelligence is received by this arrival:
It is believed the total vote of the State at the
recent election will not vary far from 115,000. Os
the votes already counted (105,868,) Lincoln has
35,086; Douglas, 88,836; Breckinridge, 29,424;
Bell, 6,942. Lincoln’s majority over Douglas,
1,150. These returns are all received by telegraph
from more than one hundred different dispatches,
and mistakes have probably occurred.
The official count will he required to determine
the result. The contest is between Lincoln and
and Douglas, with the chances in favor of the
former. As near as can be ascertained, the Legis
lature stands as follows :
Senate—Douglas (Democrat,) 9 ; Breckinridge
(Democrat,) 5; Republicans 4. House—Doug
las (Democrat,) 40; Breckinridge (Democrat,) 21;
Republicans 19. Os the 17 Senators who hold
over, 11 are understood to be Douglas, 4 Breckin
ridge, and 2 Republicans.
* There are already numbers of Douglas Demo
. crats aspiring for Mr. Gwin’s place in the United
J States Senate —among them, Governor Downey,
General Denver, James A. McDougaH and others.
The contributions to the Washington Monumeut
fund on election day, at San Francisco, Sacra
mento and Marysville, exceeded SI,BOO. Returns
from the balance of the State are notyet received.
More than $H)0,o00 was waagered ou the result
of the State election in San Francisco alone, and
some parties are suspicious that the election re
turns may have been falsified in some instances
by parties interested in the bets. The total vote
cast in San Francisco was 14,416 ; more than 8,000
in excess of that year’s vote. This satisfies the
people lsat the census just completed, making the
population of the city but 60,000, is far short of
the real population. The People’s Reform ticket
for municipal officers in San Francisco was elect
ed entire by majorities ranging from 600 to 4,000.
Extremists. —We are sorry to see that several
papers in the State are advocates for outright
secession. Indeed, it would appear that they
were even willing for the Legislature to have
taken the matter in hand, and have precipitated
the State into troubles, they know not where to
end. Happily however, all parties have ultimately
agreed to submit the question as to what should
be done to a State Convention. Notwithstanding
this Convention is yet to assemble, and doubtless
many things to transpire between now and then,
still these prints are persistent in tryiDg to fore
stall its action by holding up to public notoriety
the names of Tom, Dick and Harry, as in favor of
secession as the only cure for the evil. They thus
stimulate violent feeling and division among the
people, when in truth, in all likelihood, the decis
ion of the Convention will meet with the unani
mous support of the people. Now us all the slave
holding States are alike interested, would it not be
better, far bitter, to let the delegates go into the
Convention untrammeled, to decide from the light
then before them,*as to what position the South
should assume, to secure her rights under the
Constitution —the best Government faithfully j ad
ministered, now under the Sun? —Southern Re
corder.

I?* Brandreth’s Pills are growing more In favor with th
public. It is now conceded they are the beat purgative yet put
forth from the world of medicine. The time will surely arrive
when they will superssde 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 make a popuar purgative is appreciated, as
their sales Indicate. Other purgatives are dragging a flickering
existence. And yet they may Lave some merit. But BRAN
DRETH’S PILLS are safe and sure—Base, because they ope
rate solely on impure humors. No valuable fluid is touched;
only eftete 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 trude and bad humors from the blood which
are the occasion of disease. They open nature’s avenues, and
this car,not always he done pleasantly.

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 most unrelenting in its progress, and the most defi
ant of medical 1 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 strong con
sciousness of approaching the tomb. We have said that the
disease is oue of those which has nearly always defied medical
science—a few cases once iu a while having been cured and re
ported. We recommend DR. J. HOSTETTER’B STOMACH
BITTERS to suffering humanity generally, as a sure and
speedy specific.

torture arising from this terrible disease, when it can be so
easily cured ? Who would endure sleeplegs nights, burning
fevers and icy chills alternately, when a remedy can be obtained
for a mere trifle ? And yet how many fami ies linger out a
painful existence under this deadly blight, and do nothing but
gulp down quinine, until It becomes as common as their daily
meals and yet they are not relieved. A'one but the foolish and

|3F“ The Oxygenated Bitters.— For years medical scl
ence 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 expel these diseases from the
system until Dr. Green made known his 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 diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
General Debility it Is equally salutary and certain.
