& from the Constitutionalist.
The Election of Lincoln.
The main object of my last communication was
( > relieve the public mind, if possible, from that
veitement and panic which has destroyed all con
iideuce, and paralysed the business operations of
‘th’ c.ov ‘j. This panic has already cost our
planters millions in the depreciation of their pro
perty-: and if it continues long, must prove dis
astrous to all classes; and to the debtor class, must
be attended with absolute ruin. I wished to show
that no immediate danger to us is threatened; that
so far as auy material interest is concerned, the dan
ger is remote and contingent. That equality in
the Territories —the main question involved — is
practically a mere abstraction, and, by many of our
greatest Southern statesmen, believed to be of
little importance to the South. This claim, as a
Constitutional right, is of recent origin. It was
not insisted on even in the angry discussion on the
Missouri Compromise. Its justice, however, was
none the less clear, and the claim should not be
surrendered.
Our grievance, from the election of Lincoln, is
not one of tangible and immediate wrong to our
interests. It is only an evidence on which we ground
©an apprehension of future wrong. It is evidence,
but not conclusive evidence. The election of Lin
coln is more an insult than an injury. It does
net touch a single interest, that would not have
been equally exposed under any President. lam
, not indifferent, however, to the outrages of those
States who have violated the social compact by
hostile legislation. But I would not adopt the
Japanese plan of redress, and rip open my own
bowels, but punish the guilty party. This we can
do better in the Union, than out of it. We can
make them continue to contribute to our National
strength and resources, whilst we can make them
m gay lor their own perfidy and folly. Our com
plaint is against the ppoy of States, not. against
the government oj trie union. It was the pen tidy
of States, that called the Union into existence. The
Union cemented these faithless, jealous, sectional
bodies together, and from objects of contempt,
when separated, they rapidly grew into one of
the most powerful and prosperous nations on the
earth.
These puny efforts of faithless States to nullify
the fugitive slave laws, have been borne down iu
every instance, when the two powers came in con
flict. Even Black Republican Judges have gener
ally sustained the law, and it is the boast of J udge
McLean that a fugitive never escaped in his juris
diction, for want of a correct interpretation of the
law. Burns was returned, at the point of Federal
bayonets, in depite of the laws of perfidious Mas
sachusetts. This Government has performed ev
ery duty expected of it, and has never failed to
exercise its power, wheu called on, to enforce the
Constitutional rights of slavery. For that very
r, aeon, the ultra Abolitionists at the North de
nounced it as “a league with hell,” and wished to
j-t rid of it. They are consistent, for it is their
only chance to accomplish their hellish designs.—
Are we equally so, when we wish to give up this
bulwark, without a single equivalent? In tin
Union, we have every power cf protection, by
State action, that we would have out of it, and.
have this additional security besides. In the Union
our slaves are (to use the strong language of ano
ther,) ‘-as safe as if they were in the middle of
the earth.” Are we certain that they will be
equally so, under the lone star, and “the sublime
terrors of the blue cockade ?”
At any rate, the question is a momenteous one.
Let us act with deliberation, and not upon impulse.
Let us uot destroy iu a moment of passion a gov
ernment under which we have long lived and
prospered, before we have devised some other in
its place. We are not prepared for revolution.
The people are not prepared for It. Our sister
States are not prepared for it. Scarcely a thought
seems to have been employed upon the first conse
quences of hasty secession. Let us show our sis
ter States the respect of consulting them, whether
we abide their counsels or not. As identified in
interest, they invite us to consultation, and beg us
eat. to endanger the common cause by rash and
precipitate action. Shall we listen to these ap
peals, or tro.it them with supercilious contempt?
By the latter course, we shall weaken our friends,
and great !y increase our enemies. lean see not
one plausible reason for precipitate action. Wo
can withdraw as well at one time as another ; as
well after the inauguration of Lincoln, as before ;
and a single aggressive movement on his part
would strengthen us everywhere, for many of the
Republican party even are strongly committed
against coercion.
On the subject of our sister States, one question
must frequently occur to us. Why is it that we
are so much more excited, and so much more
anxious for dissolution, than the border States ?
They lose five hundred slaves by the bad faith of
the freF States where we lose one, and should be
more excited and more anxious for change, if by
a change they eould looh for a remedy. The rea
sons, 1 apprehend, are these : First — They appre
ciate the, dangers of desolating border wars, with
.11 tLvL , ’■** -o uuJ Jvoti wvetuil XJC Hit
and property; Second — They see no remedy in
separation, but only a tenfold aggravation of the
evil. They are near neighbors to the people of
Ihe border free States, and understand the whole
subject fully— much better than we do. They know
that although there are some miscreants employed
Li favoring the escape of slaves, there are always
hundreds of others ready to assist in their re
covery, and that the difficulty of escape deters thou
-5 i rids from making the attempt. Insecurity to the
fugitive in the free States, is manifest from the
fact, that the fugitive makes all haste to reach
(Canada, where only he is safe. Now, suppose
Canada bordered on the Ohio, instead of the free
grates, bound to us by the Union, instead of the
slaves now lost, they icould go off in stampedes,
vith no power to molest them after they r ached
the northern shore ; and this, too*supposes perj>et
nalpeace, about as reasonable as to suppose perpet
ual sunshine. /
Now, what would be the natural result of all
3 this ? From the insecurity of solve property in the
border States, it would soon become valueless, and
would be sold to the States further South. The pre
sent border States would become fres States in self
defence.. The same thing would follow upon each
border State as the free States advanced upon
them, until slavery would be extinguished, or
confined to very narrow limits on the Gulf and
sea coast, where white labor could not be employ
ed. Xhe ultra Abolitionists are logical in their
anxiety to dissolve the Union, ‘■‘■as the onlg chance
for the ultimate extinction of slavery.” But for us
to give up the security which the Union affords
us—create a hostile border of six hundred miles
--with an exposed coast of two thousand miles—
without a ship or a sailor, and trifling materials
for either, to give a greater security to slavery,
would seem to me as an absurdity, were it not
for the respect I have for others entertaining that
opinion.
’ But, admitting all this, the question is
our excited people: Will you submit to the rule
of Lincoln? lias no power to rule. He
m the mere puppet in the execution of a Constitu
tional Government. I will submit to the laws and
Constitution of my country, at least until we can
e have time to think of something in its place. Why
is our honor more insulted than that of the border
States North of us, who are vastly more interest
ed than we are? Whilst their honor is deemed
safe, ours cannot be iu much danger. They tare
acting with calmness and deliberation, and not
loading their people with debt and taxes, before
they see when, and to what extent this may be
necessary. Secession will be followed by collision,
or it will’ not be. If it should be, and we have no
co-operation of other States, we should be just
strong enough to provoke or invito aggression,
with no strength to repel it.
Let us keep cool. “The best conrage is temper
ed with caution.” The inflammatory appeals of
t ome of our orators have excited the people to
; madness, and we see and feel the effects upon our
material interests, of the>w/246’ created, in view of
the “reign of terror, anarchy, and blood,” which
they tell us is upon us. I am amazed at some of
our most worthy citizens, who have been goading
’the masses to this work of ruin. Look at the ad
dress of Mr. Cobb, a citizen of high standing—a
man of talents, a promising lawyer, and a Ghris
tinn! Conjectures without reason, assertions with
out proof, conclusions without premises ! No re
volutionary harangue of Desmoulins, Danton, or
Couthon, was ever better calculated to stir up an
<excited population to anarchy and blood ! “A re
roit in seven miles of Milledgeville!” Why
should there not be one in the neighborhood of
every secession speech ? “Free by virtue of Lin
coln's election !” Who told them so, except our
own imprudent declaimers? Why not let them
know the truth ? instead of quoting the ravings
of such fanatics as Garrison, as the sentiments of
Lincoln, and the whole North.
Why not tell them the truth, that Lincoln him
self is opposed to their emancipation, and that in
case of revolt, the whole Union, free States and all
would march to crush them ? Even the ultra-crazy
fanatics, (of which there are not, perhaps, tent hou
sand in the Union,) give them hope, unless the
Union can be dissolved.
I have no hope, Mr. fEditor, of making head
against this reckless revolutionary torrent, which
now rules the hour. My only hope is to obtain
. some time for deliberation and consultation. 1
don’t wish to see our people rush blindly on thein
• own destruction without organization, ‘and wit
no Government to replace the one we propose to
destroy. I have no tears for the “trembling wife
and little daughter” now, and shall have none so
long as protected by the broad banner of our
country. These fears will only commence, when,
under the lone star, orunber a diminutive galaxy,
hastily patched up, we may begin to emulate the
glories of Mexico aud South America. Let ns
then, I rep’ at, at least take time and measures to
cousult our co-sister States. Let us act in such a
way as to retain the friends we now have, and
above all, not add to our enemies. There is but
little sympathy, I fear, in the rash movements we
propose. An incident at Baltimore, a few days

Public Meeting In Forsyth.
Pursuant to a previous call, five or six hundred
citizens of Forsyth county, without distinction of
party, met in the Court House, in Cumming, on
Tuesday the 4th inst., to consider the state of the
country and nominate candidates for the State
Convention. It was the most imposing county
meeting ever witnessed by the citizens of this
section.
On motion of J. J. Clements, Esq., Martin Ro
berts, Esq., was called to the Chair, Rev. F. M.
Hawkins, L. I). Harris, Beverly Allen, Esq., and
Dr. M. W. Sutton were selected Vice Presidents,
and W. D. Bently and Dr. A. J. Flowers were ap
pointed Secretaries.
Col. H. P. Bell was called on to explain the ob
ject of the meeting, which he did in a speech of
half an hour, presenting the facts which make up
the present crisis, in a lucid manner, and invoking
a calm and dispassionate consideration of the
great issue before the country. After which, J.
B. Patterson introduced and moved the adoption
of the following platform, prefaced by an eloquent
and chaste speech.
The people of Forsyth county in mass conven
tion assembled, alarmed at the state of the Re
public and animated by a common desire to save
a common country.; and ignoring all party dis
tinctions and prejudices in this fearful crisis, here
by unanimously reaffirmed the platform of the De
cember Convention of 1850, known as the Georgia
platform, with the additional demand of the faith
ful enforcement of the fugitive slave law, and
the immediate repeal of the unconstitutional Leg
islation of the Northern States, which have nulli
fied it and the entire cessation of the slavery agi
tation, which motion was seconed and supported
by J. S. Clements in a short but admirable
speech.
Dr. Win. Bacon then addressed the meeting for
about fifteen minutes, in a style that would do
credit to any gentleman in Georgia, for beauty,
neatness, and eloquence; at the conclusion of
which, he moved that Col. Hardy Strickland and
Col. H. P. Bell, be nominated by acclamation as
candidates for the Convention, which motion was
unanimously adopted.
After which 11. P. Bell was loudly called for
and came forward and accepted the nomination
in as chaste, feeling, and happy effort as can well
be conceived. In saying that it was eloquent,
elegant and appropriate in every particular and
adapted to the occasion is hardly aoing it justice.
During this address not only the speaker but
every person present seemed deeply impressed in
consequence of the fearful state of the country.
Indeed during the whole meeting the deepest
interest and greatest possible solemnity prevailed
in the crowd. All were cool, calm ana deliberate
and manifested an unwavering determination to
have their rights in the Union if they can, out of
the Union if they must.
The whole proceedings were characterized by
unparalleled unauimity.

Palmetto, Dec. Btli, 1860.
At a meeting of the citizens of Campbell co.,
held at the Court House, Tuesdny Dec. 4th, 1850,
opposed to immediate seccession, Judge Darven
port was called to the chair, and W. A. Turner,
requested to act as Secretary.
On motion of J. J. Beall, the following pream
able and resolutiods were introduced and unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, in the election of Abraham Lincoln
we realize for the first time in the history of our
Government, the success of a sectional candidate
to the first office in the gift of the people, a result
very much to be deplored by every friend of con
stitutional rights.
Therefore be it Resolved by this meeting, 1 st.
That we concur in the call by the General Assem
bly of the State of Georgia, fora convention of
the people to determine the time and mode of
redress by such convent on.
Retolved, 2d. That we recommend to said Con
vention to reaffirm the Georgia Platform, with the
additional planks, that the fugitive slave law be
executed in every case, and those laws passed by
free States conflicting with said fugitive slave act,
(known as personal liberty bills) shall be repeal
ed.
Resolved, 3d. That we also recommend that
said convention appoint or elect delegates to a
Southern Convention, to meet at such time and
place as may be hereafter determined, and that
said delegates use their influence with the South
ern Convention to adopt the platform of Georgia
as the policy of the South.
Resolied, 4th. That should a united South make
a demand for our constitutional rights, we believe
those rights could be procured in the Union ; if
not, we will defend them in the last resort out of
it.
Resolved, sth. That we will support no man for
the Convention, that does not pledge himself to
these resolutions, or who is in favor of immediate
secession without co-operation with the other
Southern States.
After which John Carlton moved that J. J.
Beall and Dr. T. C. Howard, be nominated by ac
clamation, which was unanimously adopted.
It was moved and carried that the proceedings
of this meeting be published in the Atlanta Ame
rican and all papers friendly to our cause be re
quested to copy. On motion the meeting adjourn

Summerville, Dec. 4, 1860.
Agreeable to previous notice, a large meeting
of the citizens ot Chattooga county, of all parties,
assembled in the Court House to-day, to give ex
pression to the sentiment of the people on the ex
citing politieal questions of the day.
On motion, Dr. J. M. Hamilton, Dr. S. S. Bailey
and Judge Baker (one of Bell, Breck and Douglas
parties,) were called to the Chair, and Dr. James
Stewart requested to act as Secretary. ‘
On motion, a Committee of ten, viz.: Col. J. R.
Gamble, Wesley Shropshire, N. Allman, A. P.
Allgood, J. F. Finley, C. C. Cleghorn, T. Williams,
J. Horn, Dr. G. B. T. Maddox and Mr. Dumas,
were appointed by the Chairmen, who reported
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we approve of the Legislative
act calling a Convention of the people of Georgia
to assemble, by delegates, in Milledgeville, on the
16th of January. 1861.
Resolved, That Georgia has taken her position
upon all the questions that have threatened the
existence of this great Republic, familiarly known
as the “Georgia I’latform,” save one—the rendi
tion of fugitives from justice and fugitives from
labor.
Resolved, That our delegates from this county
are hereby instructed to vote in Convention when
assembled, to re aflirm the “Georgia Platfbrm”
with an additional plank, embracing the rendition
of fugitives from justice aud fugitives from labor.
Resolved, That as one means of enabling the
voters of Georgia to vote for
delegates to said Convention we would most
earnestly urge the publication of Washington’s
Farewell Address and the Proclamation of An
drew Jackson, or at least the more pertinent and
salient of them by the newspaper journals of this
State.
Resolved, That in the election of Lincoln we
have no just ground for secession, because neither
Mr. Lincoln nor his party can pass any law, that
will violate our rights, if the opposition remain
true. He can’t appoint his Cabinet oflicers who
may be offensive to the Democratic party and to
the slave States. He can do nothing with the
Ereseut House of Representatives and Senate,
aeked by the Supreme Court, to violate our
rights.
Resolved, That we would urgently request the
anti-Republican members of the opposition firm
ly to resolve not to discuss the question of slavery
any more, and if the Republicans do so, let them
vote down their measu-es and proceed to busi
ness upon other important interest of the country.
Ist. Because it alienates the national sentiments
of the people and destroys that harmony of inter
course, essential to the geneial prospeuity and
social happiness of our citizens. 2d. It encour
ages fanaticism and bigotry, and affords an un
failing source of inflammatory material for the
demagogue, both at the North and South. Bd. It
draws millions of money from the pockets of the
people to pay for the useless and protracted de
ua os in Congress. 4th. It affords a theme lor
hostile disunion and bitter sentiment among peo
ple who should be more amicably and profitably
employed. The resolutions were passed with ono
or two dissenting views.
The meeting was addressed by F. A. Kirby,
Sam’l Hawkins and Anthony Duffy in a pleasing
and happy monner, after which the Chairman, on
motion, appointed a committee of t#s from each
Militia district, to nominate two suable men as
delegates to represent this county in Convention,
which committee recommended the names of
Wesley Shropshire rnd Lowry Williams. The
meeting then adjourned.

“Blessed are the Peacemakers..”— Mr. Crit
teuden, of Kentucky, and Mr. Boteler, of Virginia,
says the Journal of Commerce, are the first to
come forward in the nationsl Congress, to heal, if
possible, the dangerous dissensions which agitate
the country. Their efforts may be unavailing ;
the chasm which threatens to divide a people now
mighty and prosperous may engulf the States in
one common ruin ; commerce mav be blighted,
and every cheek become blanched by the horrors
of civil war; but those names will always be re
vered and cherished as the heritage of the nation,
which associated with efforts to assauge the vi
olence of human passion, and preserve inviolate
the Union which was established at such an im
mense cost of blood and treasure.
Florida. —Senator Yulee, oftflorida, has writ
ten a letter from Washington to the Legislature
of that State, announcing that upon learning at
any time of the'determination of Florida to dis
solve connection with the Northern States, he will
promptly and joyously return home to support
the banner of the State to which he owes allegi
ance. Coi. Blackburn, Federal Marshal for the
Northern District of Florida, is closing up the
business of his office, preparatory to resingniug.
The secession feeling in Florida is quite as univer

IN SENATE Dec. 6.
Mr. Powell, according to a notice given yester*
day, introduced a resolution that so much of the
President’s Message as relates to tha present agi
tated and distracted condition of the country, and
the grievances of the staveholding and non slave
holding States, be referred to a Special Committee
of thirteen members, and that the said Committee
be instructed to inquire whether anj additional
legislation than already is within the sphere of
of the Federal authority and duty be necessary
for the protection and security of the property of
the United States, and if so, report by bill; and
that the said committee be also instructed to con
sider and report wither they deem it expedient
to propose aa amendment or amendments to the
Constitution of the United States as to insure
prompt and full protection to the rights and pro
perty of the citizens of every State, and the equal
rights of the citizens aforesaid under the Federal
Constitution.
The resolution was laid over for the present.
HOUSE.
Mr. Morris, o’ Illinois, said it would be remem
bered that on Tuesday he sought to introduce a
resolution concerning the perpetuity of the Ame
rican Union. Since then he had been culled upon
by various members and requested again to pre
sent it. He, therefore, gave notice that he would
do so on Monday next.
Mr. Vallandigham, from the Special Committee
appointed at a former session on the Senate bill
abolishing the franking privilege, made a report
thereon and proposed certain amendments.
Mr. Cobb, from the Committee on the Public
Lands, reported a bill to construe the meaning of
the words minimum price of the public lands.
After further proceedings the bill was passed.
It provides that the word minimun shall be coid
strued according to the land graduation act, so as
to apply to alternate and reserved sections of land
granted for railroads and other internal improve
ments ; and in favor of actual settlers, and not to
mean dollars and quarter acres ; as now officially
construed.
The Speaker appointed the special Committee
under Mr. Boteler’s resolution to consider the
questions connected with the perilous condition of
the country.
[The names of the Committee have been report
ed by telegraph, and published.]
The Speaker desired to say that it was parlia
mentary usage to name on the Committee the
mover of a resolution under which it was ordered
to be formed, but he had omitted the name of Mr.
Boteler at that gentleman’s own request. He had
endeavored to appoiut the Committee to the best
of his judgment and at the earliest period, in view
of the important business with winch it was en
trusted.
Mr. Hawkins, of Florida, said—Last Tuesday, I
begged to be excused from voting, and for similar
reasons I now ask to be excused from serving'on
this Committee. I have consulted with the older
members as to whether it is voluntary or not for
a member appointed on a committee to serve, and
have been informed that he is compelled by the
rules of the House to serve, unless excused; and
that if he does not serve he subjects himself to
something like a rebuke or reprimand from the
House. Now, as long as lam a member o’ this
bod}', I am anxious to respect all its rules, and
unwilling to draw upon myself rebuke or repri
mand, J therefore ask the House to excuse me
from serving as a member of this committee. If
I am compelled by the rules or custom to seive, 1
would be a very unimportant and uot an efficient
member. I know 1 cannot act with all the com
mittee. As to the idea of getting up a committee
with unauimity, great peace and” in a Union-sav
ing manner, 1 have been opposed to anything of
that kind in the past, and am now, believing tiiat
the time for compromise has passed foiever.
Mr. John Cochrane said he had heard with a
great deal of regret that his friend asked to be ex
cused from service on the Committee. It has
been said here to-day, in the Chaplain’s prayer,
“that the grey shadow of the dark wing of disso
lution has been extended over our House and
country,” and so deep is the gloom that we can
scarcely discern one gleatn of light to enable us
to transact the ordinary business of legislation.
Men’s minds have been devoted for wei ks past to
the great and absorbing topic of controversy,
which enlists all our thoughts, and demands of
ever}’ individual his best exertions and his purest
emotions aud wisdom. It is of importance to this
issue that the Republic should comm, ml the ex
ertions and efforts of all its citizens. I believe
now, in the midst of this crisis, with the perils
impending over the country, —uav, with the dan
ger already upon it,—that there is no reason why
this House, representing the patriotism and wis
dom of the country, should, in prudence, excuse
the gentleman from Florida. I believe, from all
parts of his State, where the people are looking
with solicitude on the passing events, and with
anxious eyes, if the voice of his constituents
could be heard, it would be in tones beseeching
aud appealing to their Representatives to stand
forward in this issue and assume the brunt of the
controversy. He did uot believe, with the gen
tleman, that it was important to the welfare of
the country, there should he a unanimous report
on the subject referred to the Committed. How
ever, God grant it may he. [Applause in the gal
leries, accompanied by cries ot “order” on the
floor.]
Goa grant it may be stamped with the unanimi
ty which patriotism demands? If the country is
not to bo saved—if patriotism is not sutlicient to
command this glorious result, it is due that the
due to the benighted regions of the country that
the facts should be impressed on their minds, and
ignorance no longer be pleaded as an excuse for
the acts which have brought us to this fearful pre
cipice. If we are not to have a unanimous effort
to save the country fjom the pains and agony of
secession, let us kuow what demands are made by
oue section ot country upon the other, and let us
feel what is the pulsation of the country and let
us he enabled to answer the exclamatory enquiry
that comes from every portion of the laud—
“ Watchman, what of the night ?” clearly and con
clusively, whether storms aud madness rule the
hour, whether there is a harbinger of peace, or
whether there is one gleam of morning by which
we ina}’ yet discern the stars and stripes floating
frem yonder dome. [These remarks were greeted
vvivh warm applause.]
Mr. Garnet hastily rose, saying—l trust that in
our grave deliberations the Chair will stop ap
plause, whether on the floor or in the galleries.—
I will give notice— [Here he was met with hiss
es from the galleries.) J now move that the gal
leries be cleared. [Renewed hisses.] Those dis
graceful blackguards who violate the rules of the
House aud the decorum and dignity which are due
the representatives of the people, should be forth
with expelled from the Hall.
The Speaker said he had no doubt that the sug
gestion of the gentleman from Virginia would be
sufficient for a respectable auditory aud insure
quiet.
Mr. Morris, of Illinois, appealed to Mr. Cochrane
to refrain from the farther discussion of this ques
tion.
Mr. Cochraue resumed. I deprecate, with all
others, these either of approbation
or of censure, from the galleries or floor of this
House; yet an excuse might be found in the char
acter of the theme before us, which appeals to the
emotions and feelings of all, however humble they
may be, in the Republic; hut it is eminently pro
per that these rules of order should he observed,
and the subject discussed with the gravity that
its nature demands, and that the American Con
gress, even if in the pangs of dissolution, if it is to
tall, should fall decently, with its official robes
gathered around it. I had not intended here to
allude to the great principle which reposes at the
base of this question. It would he unwise and
improper, hut the allusions I have made were ne
cessary, in order that I might bring to the intelli
gence and heart of the gentleman from Florida,
considerations applicable to his own patriotic na
ture and consistency, which are as common, gen
eral and catholic as'is the great and glorious Re
public in which we live. I appeal to him on the
grounds of a common humanity. I appeal to him
on the peril of a common country. I appeal to
him by the memories of the past. I appeal to him
by the prosperity aud existence of the sovereign
Slate of Florida, to remain in the Committee. If
these appeals be ineffectual, I now further appeal
to those here representing a common country. 1
ask them, without any reflection on the gentleman
from Florida, but in pursuance of a duty to be
performed, to negative the request that lie be
excused.
Mr. Hawkins demanded the previous question
On his motion for that purpose.
Mr. Millson moveu to adjourn. #
Mi. Crawford appealed to Mr. Millson to wvh
draw his motion so as the vote might be taken to
see whether Mr. Hawkins would be forced to
serve. lie hoped that others would ask to he ex
cused from voting.
Mr. Hawkins declared that he was not acting
under impulse but from the convictions of twenty
years.
Mr. Adrain rose to speak.
Mr. Underwood and o Ters called him to order.
Mr. Adrain, amid the confusion, said the Com
mittee ought to he settled to day.
lie was again called to order from the Southern
side of the Hall. .
The question to adjourn was then carried—yeas
104, nays 92. The House had previously decided

tune to be bitten by a large rat, while asleen in my room. X
was bitten entirely through the nose, so that the blood ran
through my nostrils. Knowing a rat bite to be very danger
ous, I felt much alarmed, and having tried your AMBROSIAL
OIL for many ailments, aud finding relief, I applied it thor
oughly daring the balance of the night and next day. It
healed at once, and I have never experienced any ill effects
from the same. I felt that the world should know the magic

HF” The Oxygenated Bitters.—For years medical sd
ence has been taxed and tuc skill of the physician exhausted in
the Lope 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, aud for
General Debility it is equally salutary and certain.

Messrs. S. W. Fowle A Co— Gentlemen : Having derived

Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester
county, New York, says, Nov., 1858 : “I 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; I became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to
skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in
despair. Ass an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of
six of Brandeth’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 iiad
ever used or heard of. At length this eflect ceased, aud I sec m
ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed sen
sibly better and slept soundly all night. The next day I fol
lowed the same course, and continued to take the Pills in this
way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cured.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”
