1> Form of Government.
Now that we are aboiit to break up the present
l'orin of government, it is well that we look to
the future, and commence now to make arrange
ments,for some other form. We hear it on all
Miles that the present Federative system is a
total failure—not a failure in itself, from inherent
delects of its own, but the failure is in the peo
ple—the government does not suit the people, or
the people do not suit the government. There is
somewhere an “ irrepressible conflict” going on
between the governors and governed. The sys
tem of several Republics, confederated together
under one common head, governed by a written
law, we say, is that which is generally considered
a failure. For we see, contrary to the spirit and
intent of the Union, a minority party—clearly in
a minority of at least three-quarters of a million—
nas, by the peculiar arrangement for electing the
Chief Magistrate, succeeded in electing n Presi
dent, by one section alone, against a combined
opposition in the other section, and against a
a powerful minority in its own stronghold.
Rut if the Federal sysiem is a failure, the ques
tion may well be asked, is not the whole Republi
can system a failure? Very many wise, thinking
men say so. We formed the Federal Government
because the separate States, it was thought, were
not strong enough to stand alone, and because
they were likely to prove disadvantageous, if not
dangerous, each to the other, in their distinct or
ganization, and with their varying interests
When we break up, will the disadvantages and
dangers of separate States be such as to require
the formation of anew Confederacy of those
which are, at present, supposed to be homogeneous?
If we do form anew Confederacy, when the old is
gone, it would seem to be neither wise, prudent,
nor statesmanlike, to frame it the pattern of
flic old. New safeguards and guarantees must
necessarily be required, and none but a heedless,
maniac would seek to avoid looking this matter
squarely in the face.
What are the defects of the present Federal
• system? Why, the chance of a minority being
able, by the forms of law, to secure the Executive,
and the different interests of different sections
urging one or another to attempt supreme con
trol, regardless of equality, of justice, of comity,
. r.d of the written Constitution. Can a Constitu
iion he a safe guard for minorities? Certainly it
maybe; but history proves that *no Constitution
ever stood in the way of either real or apparent
majorities. It is a simple impossibility, when the
passions of the majority ure stronger than their
i egard for the right. We might change the Con
stitution for the New Confederacy, so as to make
the Executive elective directly by the whole peo
ple, and thus avoid its attainment bj’ a popular
minority. Rut can the Constitution he so framed
as to prevent a majority, when it becomes an ab
solute majority, making its null the rule for the
minority? Never.
It is true that we might make a Constitution
for the fifteen Southern States, which would se
cure the rights of all, at present, from harm, or at
least, which would require a clear violation, of its
Utter , so plainly that the world could discern it,
when unconstitutional action was consummated.
Rut then, in the course of years, as men changed,
times changed, interests changed, business
changed, labor changed, productions changed, a
violation ot the spirit might occur, which would
not he clearly a violation of the letter. It may he
raid that the Constitution might provide for its
own change, as times changed. Well, that was
the design when our present Constitution was
formed, and still we say it is a failure. llow more
carefully could anew one he arranged? Men
will say that we, of the South, are one, and that
we shall get along well enough. Rut they who
s:ty it know neither history nor human nature. —
When the* Union was formed, twelve 6f the thir
teen States were slaveholdiug; and if the Cotton
Gin had not been invented there would not prob
ably to-day have been an African slave in North
A m erica.
Rut, how about the State organizations ? This
is an important consideration, for whether we
consult with the other Southern States or not, it
is certain that each State must act for itself, in
the first instance. When any State goes out of
tiie present Federal Union it then becomes a for
eijn power, as to all the other States, as well as
to the world. Whether it will unite again with
any of the States, or stand alone, is for it to <le-
UTiniue. The new Confederacy must then he
motile by those States which desire it—and it
Georgia, or any other State, does net find the pro
posed terms of Federation agreeable, she can
maintain her own separate form of Government,
or, at least, try it. Well, what form of govern
ment shall we have ? This is much more easily
asked than answered.
Some of the wisest and best citizens propose a
hereditary Constitutional monarchy ; hut how
ever good that may be in itself, the most impor-’
f mt point to discover is, whether or not the peo
ple are prepared for it. It iS thought again by
others that wejshall be able to go on for a genera
tion or two, in anew Confederacy, with addition
al safe guards—such for instance as an Executive
tor life , a vastly restricted suffrage, Senators elec
ted for life, or for a long period, say twenty-one
■ ; part, and the most popular branch of the assem
bly elected for seven years, the Judiciary absolute
ly independent, and for life, or good behavior.
The frequency of elections, find the universality
of suffrage, with the attendant arousing of the
ueople’s passions, and the necessary sequence of
demagogues being elevated to high station, are
thought by many to be the great causes of trouble
among us. We throw out these suggestions that
the people may think of them, and act as their
interests require. Our own opinion is that the
South might be the greatest nation on the earth,
and might maintain, Jon the basis of African
slavery, not only a splendid Government, but a
.'■.■cure Republican, Government. Hut still our
ft-ars are that through anarchy we shall reach
the despotism of military chieftains, and finally
e raised again to monarchy.
Old W ilkes in the Lead !
Pursuant to previous notice, the citizens of
Wilkes countv, irrespective of party, assembled
in the Court House on the 4th inst., to nominate
c indidates for delegates to represent them in the
State Convention to be helu at Milledgeville on
the 16th of January next.
The meeting was organized by the appointment
of Jas. H. Willis, Esq., Chairman, and Garnett
Andrews, Jr., Secretary.
On motion the Chair appointed a Committee,
consisting of the following gentlemen, to suggest
the names of suitable candidates:
Committee.— Dr. J. J. Robertson, W. R. Calla
* way, Or. T. L. Anderson, J. B. Wootten, Jas. Ar
nold, Wm. A. Pope, Dr. G. W. Palmer, Frank
\mold,Bam’! Harnett, J.D. Willis, (absent,) A. T.
Holliday, M. G. Robert, J. M. Dyson, Dr. Jno. W.
Heard, Or. H. F. Andrews, W. G. Turner, Or. W.
I). Quinn, and Or. W. M. Jordan. This selection
was made indiscriminately from all three of the
lute parties.
After a brief consultation the Committee report
ed the names of the following gentlemen, (Hon.
Robert Toombs and Dr. J. J. Robertson.)
The report was unanimously ratified with en
thusiastic cheering and applause.
In response to loud calls from all parts of the
house, the following speakers then addressed the
meeting : Samuel Barnett, Esq., Rev. Thus. Lane,
01.V1a., Col. B. W. Garnett Andrews, Jr.
The speeches of Messrs. Harnett, Lane and An
drews, were for uncompromising secession, that
of Col. Heard was very strongly “Southern
i.’ -hts.” The speech of Mr. Lane was a master
piece of eloquence and reasoning ; that of Mr.
Harnett was characterized by eloquence and
irresistible logic—it carried conviction to the
minds of all who heard it.
On motion, Resolved, That these proceedings
be published in the Washington Independent and
all of the Augusta papers.
The meeting then adjourned in perfect good
feeling, unanimity and enthusiasm.

THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS-Sd Ses’u.
IN SENATE Dec. 4.
Hie leading of the President’s Message was
commenced at ten minutes past 12 o’clock, and
was finished at seven minutes past 2.
u lr ’ , cii . n £ man moved that it be published. He
thought it fell short of an investigation of the
crisis before the Government. The President
elect was known to be a dangerous man because
he owned the principles of the “irrepressible coil
tiict. party, with the view of making war on my
section. Though the present position of parties
in Congress held him powerless, his party would
eventually control the Government, the Supreme
Court included. A sectional majority absolutely
has control of the whole Government, and it might
aegin a revolution. lie did not think any of the
Southern States had acted precipitately. If such
occurrences as have taken place in the last fifteen
years had been with a foreign nation, we would
have been at war before this. In his judgment a
number of the Southern States would seoede with
in sixty days. The South Carolina submission
party was small.
The wisest thing that Congress could do would
be to divide the public property as fairly as possi
ble, after paying the public debts. My people
arc not terrified. We have more territory now
than the Colonies who began the war with Great
Britain. We have lour times their population.
Our imports last year amounted to $30,000,000.
Northern gentlemen say our institutions are a dis
grace to the family, and they want to have them
removed. They say it is a sin to hold slaves. If
we separate, their consciences will be clear. He
agreed with the President, that there is no power
in the government to force a State to remain in
the Union. The most offensive aggression would
be to levy tribute, and if a separation takes place
all the slave States would be quiet and peaceable.
They were carrying out the policy of the fathers
of the Revolution.
Mr. Crittenden replied that he had hoped they
had come together as a union of friends. lie
hoped, for himself, that the Union he has so long
lived under would he preserved. lie rose for the
purpose of expressing a hope that the example of
the gentleman from North Carolina would not be
followed. Better not come here at all than thus
act. This Union was worthy of great sacrifices
and concessions. He looked forward with dismay
at the prospect of disunion ; with fear and trem
bling. They must search for the means of recon
ciliation and endeavor to restore harmony, lie
did hope there would he no angry debates. North
Carolina had always carried the olive branch of
peace.
Mr. Clingman approved the desire expressed to
preserve the Union: lie would be sustained in
what he has said by a majority of the people of
his State. North Carolina was next to the last of
the original thirteen States to come into the Un
ion. and when the Union ceased to protect her she
will hid it good-bye.
HOUSE.
The Message having been read, Mr. Sherman
moved that it he referred to the Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union. Supposing that
there was no desire to debate to-day he moved
the previous question.
Mr. Roteler offered the following, trusting, he
said, that it would meet the approbation of the
House:
JitvolveJ. That so much of the President’s Mes
sage as relates to the present perilous condition
of the country he referred to a Special Committee
of one from each State, witli leave to report at
any time.
Mr. McClernand wished to move an amend
ment, and amid repeated calls it was read, as fol
lows :
liesolred, That so much of the President’s An
nual Message as relates to matters of grievance
between the slaveholding States; and the propo
sal by Congress of amendments to the Constitu
tion of the United States for the ratification of
the several States', and to the question of State
secession from the Federal Union, be referred to
a Select Committee, to consist of one from each
State, to he appointed by the Speaker, and that
such Committee be instructed to inquire into and
report by hill, or by proposing an amendment or
amendments to the Constitution of the United
States, or otherwise, upon such subject, and par
ticularly whether any further legislation or
amendment to the Constitution is necessary to
give prompt, certain, and full effect to the last
cause of the second section of the fourth article
of the Constitution, concerning the return of
fugitives from service or labor.
Mr. Morris, of Illinois, wished to offer an amend
ment, which he read for information, as ‘follows:
liesolred. That we are unalterably and immov
ably attached to the Union of the Stales ; that we
recognize in the Union the primary cause of our
present greatness and prosperity as a nation, and
have as yet seen nothing, either in the election of
Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency, or from any
other source, to justify its dissolution; and that
we pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor to maintain it.
Objection was made, Mr. Roteler’s resolution
being distinctively before the House.
(Cries of “no, no.” “That is contrary to the
rules.” |
Mr. Rankle suggested that instead of the words
“perilous state of the country,” that Mr. Roteler
incorporate in his resolution the language con
tained ii Mr. McClernand’s proposition, so that
the House niijßit specially know what’is to be re
ferred to the Committee.
The question was taken on agreeing to Mr.
Boteler’s resolution as an amendment to Mr.
Sherman’s motion.
Before the vote was announced Mr. Singleton,
of Mississippi, said he declined voting on this
question because the Legislature of his State had
called a Convention to consider the matter. He
believed that the people would determine it for
themselves.-
Mr. Jones, of Georgia, remarked that his rea
son for not voting was that his State had also
called a Convention to decide as to her Federal
relations, and did not want Congress to decide
for her.
Mr. Hawkins, of Florida, said his State had ap
pointed some day in January for a State Conven
tion, to take into cons ideration this very question.
The people of Florida had decided to settle in
Convention the time, manner and mode of re
dress. It was for them, and they will settle this
question in their sovereign capacity. It was not
for him, therefore, to take any action here upon
the subject. He was against all compromise now,
as he was in times past.
Mr. Clopton, of Alabama, also declined to vote,
because Ins State had called a Convention.
Mr. Gartrell, of Georgia, said he did not rise to
debate, hut simply to say, for a similar reason
as just assigned, he declined voting for this propo
sition.
Mr. Houston, of Alabama, said he would do all
he could to accomplish great ends for the coun
try ; and as this resolution was directed to such a
purpose he should vote for it.
Mr. Curry, of Alabama, next addressed the
Chair.
The Speaker inquired—Does the gentleman de
sire to vote.
Mr. Curry—No, sir. 1 wish to say—
The Speaker, interrupting—Objection has been
made to debate.
Mr. Curry—l was present when my name was
called, and—
Mr. Millson, at this point, objected to all discus
sion, because it was out of order.
Mr. Curry, resuming his seat, remarked—l
never violate the rules of the House.
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, wished to say that
the Rresident’s Message has to he referred some
where, and therefore he favored u Select Com
mittee.
Mr. Moore, of Alabama, said the reason given
by bis colleague (Mr. Clopton) tor not voting, was
the same why be would not vote.
Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, remarked that the rea
sons assigned by his colleagues were not power
ful enough for him, so be would bang on to bis
vote in favor of the resolution. [Laughter.]
Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, said his State
was out of the Confederacy, except the mere
form, and therefore her delegation took no inte
rest in this question.
[This remark was received with marked good
humor.]
Mr. Pugh, of Alabama, said, that as his State
was going to follow South Carolina on the 10th of
January, he would, like Mr, Miles, decline to vote.
The result, the adoption of Mr. Boteler’s
resolution, was then announced as follows: Yeas
f4s—nays 38.
The ilouse agreed to Mr. Sherman’s original
motion that the Message be referred to the Com
mittee of the Whole on the Stute of the Union,
and be printed, together with Mr. Boteler’s
amendment thereto, namely : That so much of it
as relates to the perilous condition of the country
be referred to a Select Committee of one from
each State.
No question was taken on any other proposition
than the one above mentioned.
Mr. Boteler wished to say one word. He knew
it was the universal custoni of the Ilouse for the
Speaker to appoint as chairman the mover of a
proposition for a select committee. He wished it
understood, in justice to himself and to the great
objects be bad in view, that he could not serve on
the committee. He had no idea of it.
Mr. Morris, of Illinois, asked leave to introduce
his resolution (above printed) as u separate and
independent proposition.
Mr. Rullin, of North Carolina, and others,
strenuously objected to the introduction of the
resolution.
Mr. Morris hoped that the objections would be
withdrawn so as to come to a direct vote.
The resolution was agaid read.
Mr. Phelps objected to its introduction, and
moved an adjournment, which was carried.
A Goon Suggestion.— *A correspondent of the
National Intelligencer suggests that a commission
of six of the besi men of the country be appointed
to visit the South Carolina Convention and en
deavor to bring about some form of settlement of
the troubles between tba North and the South.
He says: —“General Winfield Scott, Edward Ev
erett., of Massachuseits, James T. Brady, of New
York ; William C. Rives, of Virginia ; D. W.
Voorhees, of Indiana ; Dr. William 11. Mercer, of
Louisiana, and Alexander H. Stephens, of Geor
gia, would conciliate the authorities and the peo
ple of South Carolina ; command their respectful
treatment and consideration ; ensrue the whole
some intluence of the sober second thought of the
entire South, and restore hope, confidence and
amity to the whole country.
Tub Sticking Point. —This point seems, at last,
to have been reached, in anew invention known
as Spalding’s Prepared Glue, which, by simple
application, without heatiog or preparation of any
kind, re unites the fragments of almost anything
into a perfect whole. This glue is really a valua
ble iuventiou, aud, from its utility, must come
into as extensive and general use as the friction
match.— Commercial Bulletin, Boston,.Oct. 15.

\rf” The Oxygenated lllttera.—For years medical sc;
ence has been taxed aud the skill of the physician exhausted in
the hope of discovering some remedy available to cure that
most dist ressing 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, ami for
General Debility it is equally salutary and certain.
[From W. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Oa.) Times.]
Covinoton, April 7,1860.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle &Cos Gentlemen: Having derived
benefit from the use of the Oxygenated Bitters, I am glad to do
the public a favor by recommending them. For Dyspepsia and
its attendant evils, I consider it a remedy of inestimable value.
W. A. llaiu*.
Hon. Wm. VV. Lamb, formerly Mayor of Norfolk, Va., has
just rendered the following testimony of the reeults produced
by the use of the Oxygenated Bitters:
Messrs. Seth W. Fowle Sr. Co.—Gentlemen : One of my ser
vants suttered for several years with Prolapsus Uteri, ami was
so much prostrated by the disease as to he confined to her bed,
expecting to die. She then .took the Oxygenated Bitters amt
recovered her health. Wm. W. Lamh.

the circulation.
Mr. .John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester
county, New York, says, Nov., 1868 : “1 was two years ago
attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the
best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi
ous months; 1 became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to
skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in
despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of
six of Brandetb’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse
all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the
worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything l had
ever used or heard of. At length this effect ceased, and 1 set in
ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed ten
sibly better and slept soundly all night. The next day 1 fol
lowed tli same course, and continued to take the Pills in this
way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cutcd.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”
