WEDN’SDAY MOKN’G, DEC. I*, 1860.
Tlie Siate of tlie Country
Is truly appalling and sorely troublous to every
thoughtful patriot’s heart. Day by day the storm
still rises—rises higher, and grows blacker. And
still the blinded strife—still the blinding strife,
goes on, over all this goodly land. The storm
broods and waits, but it must burst, sooner or
later. There is one relief—the fiercest storms are
usually of shortest continuance. One of the sad
dest things to us, in the whole history of the
times, is that some of the best, the truest, the
most honorable, the best-beloved patriot-citizens
cannot, will not, see, and feel and know the full
extent of the peril, and the real nature of allairs.
They will persist in shutting their eyes to facts
will persist in crying peace, peace, when it
ought to be plaiu to all men that there can be no
peace. No peace, except upon two conditions,
both of which are in the hands of a Higher Power.
The first condition to peace and the perpetuity of
the Republic is a regeneration—a change of heart
—of the Northern people, which shall forcibly in
cline them to give us justice in all respects, and to
let us alone absolutely. The second condition is
that the Southern people shall have their hearts
inclined by that same Power, .to have faith in
Northern professions, to have confidence in the
Northern people. We have heard a great deal
about rights, wrongs, remedies—but all this talk
is a mere delusion. Georgia, to-day, would not
give a penny-whistle for the Fugitive Slave Law of
iSoO, or all the fugitive slave laws Cougress eould
pass. She cures absolutely nothing at all about
tlie Personal Liberty Bills of the North, consider
ed as a matter of interest ; for since the forma
tion of the Government, she has not lost, in fugi
tives, as much as she has lost on her cotton crop
within ten days, by reason of the excitements of
the times. Neither is it Lincoln that Georgia
would resist—there is no degradation or dishonor
to any of her sons, that Lincoln got a majority of
the electoral vote, unless he got them by some act
of ours. Our opposition is to the animus of the
North, as exhibited in thepassage of Liberty Bills,
and finally in the election of an irrepressible con
flict representative, as the Chief Executive of
these States.
Another sad thing to observe is, that those who
are determined on immediate secession have not
the coolness, the capacity or the nerve to propose
something after that. Wo must secede, it is said, but
what then we are to do nobody knows, or at least
nobody says. This is extremely foolish and more
wicked than foolish. All sorts of business are
going to wreck and ruin, because of the uncer
tainty of the future. No statesmanship has ever
been exhibited yet, so far as we know, by those
who will dissolve the Union. Carolina considers
it her policy to court a collision with the Federal
authorities, for the purpose arousing the South
from her slumbers. Never was greater mistake
made. The Cotton States, or a majority of them,
are already sufficiently uronsed—those who think
differently do not know the people. Many are
unwilling to trust the people—are opposed to
waiting to hear from the grog-shops aud cross
roads. Why? Because they believe the people
have uot sufficient virtue and intelligence to do
that which is best for their own interests. Per
haps they may say nay, we are only afraid that
demagogues may mislead the people. Well, all
sorts of demagogues have their lair chance with
the sovereigns, and if any set can beat the seces
sionists, do they uot deserve to rule ? In any event
the answer presupposes thnt the people are in
capable of doiug what is best for them—incapable
of self-government. Why not then set about
some other plan of government ?
We have endeavored carefully to note the pub
lic sentiment of the North, since the election, and
to form a correct judgment of the feeling there,
as well as here. In the great city of New York
there are four Conservative Journals, of limited
circulation, the Express, (all honor to it for the
past, the present, and our best wishes for the fu
ture) the Journal of Commerce, News, aud Pay
Pooh. The Tribune is as determined not to suc
cumb as ever, but it has sense and philosophy
enough to say that if Southern States wish to go
out, the North has no interest in attempting to
keep them in the Union. The Post is rabid, and
the Independent, a religious paper, is the most
ultra, fanatic and intolerant of the whole lot.—
Webh, of the Courier iO Enquirer, is disposed to
be conservative, und curses the Abolitionists.—
The Times is also in favor of repealing the Per
sorfkl Liberty bills, aud restoriug the Missouri
line, extending it to the Pacific Ocean, and paying,
out of the county treasuries, for all fugitives not
r emanded. Weed of the Albany Journal first
proposed this—but both are now backing down,
seeing the feeling of their own people. Weed
says the fugitive law of 1850 must first be made
more acceptable to the North. The leading New-
Euglund Republican press is against surrendering
any thing to the threats of the South. In tlie
Noyth-west the respectable Republican press is
somewhat disposed to conciliation, though some
of the most .infamous ot the party are in that re
goin.
The great mass of the Republican people every
where, so far as we know or believe, the bone and
body of the party that elected Lincoln, are op
posed to surrendering the victory. They believe
that they have got the judgment of the country
against slavery, and they are, to a man, unuttera
bly hostile to its extension to any of the Territo
ries—hoping thus to extinguish it finally by peace
able means. And the leaders of the party, even
most conservative, seeing and knowing the
sentiments of their constituents, are determined
calmly to await the issue, satisfied that nothing can
be accomplished. This being the state of facts
North, how can we and they live together? Sure
ly it is impossible, unless the great change pre
viously spoken of shall take place. There seem
but two courses for us to pursue. Still none
should be unconditionally committed to any par’
ticular line of action. For the man who aspires
ti> be a statesman, and claims to be governed al
ways by abstract principle is a fool or a cheat.*
Statesmen govern their policy by circumstances—
by facts as they arise— and do the best they can in
all cases.
We have scarcely a doubt that the nullifying
States of the North are already, dejure, out of the
Union—no longer entitled to any of the privi
leges of this Confederacy, because they have prov
ed faithless to their obligations. They have no
just right to elect a President, and we should be
justified in holding on to the Government and driv
ing them out. The only objection to this is, that it
necessarily involves war j and war is to be avoid
ed, wheu it can honorably be done. The only
pleasureable aspect about such war is that it
most begin in the Halls of Congress, by and
among those who have bronght the troubles on
us. Some say that this is unconstitutional, but
those who suy it ure uot usually great sticklers
for the Constitution. They, as well as we, may
wisely prefer the other course (failing remedies,
<kc.)because it promises, if prudently conducted,
to avoid war—that is, to secede, to throw oIF the
Government of the Uuiou. The first course is
war certainly, the latter may not be. We do not
doubt either the right to drive out faithless States,
or to throw oft’any government which is oppres
sive. The latter belongs to all people—aye, even
to every individual—wheu oppression is intolera
ble, and the oppressed has power to rebel success
fully.
The hederal Government, as now constructed,
has no legal authority to coerce a State into re
maining in the Union, for there are ito laws to
that effect on the Statute Book. The reason is
that this government is really no government at
all—it has no power to enforce itself against its
creators, and has existed for three-quarters of a
century simply on sufferance—simply by acci
dent—because the citizens, in an organized capaci
ty , have never attempted to overthrow’ it. There
may be war, it is true, between the North and the
South, but there is no gooa for u nQr
circumstance, except one, likely to to caua ',
war. We do not propose to invade the Norm ,
if there be war, the North must invade us, be
cause the government manifestly has neither
power nor will to do it. Has the North this power
and will? Certainly she has power to make war,
but not a successful one, for no such people as
we of the South has ever been s lbjugated. Know
ing the war must be unsuccessful, the North has
no will to make it, becuase there is nothing to be
gained by it. There is this chance, however,
that when tens of thousands of laborSrs are out
of work, clamorous for bread,Jthe North may find
it good policy, aye even a necessity, to arm these
men and precipitate them on us. Before Spring
great multitudes of men in the North will doubt
less be in a state of revolt, and it might be money
better spent to send them here as soldiers, at a
cost of ten millions, than to feed them at home.—
That is the only source of danger, as to war on
us, as we believe —and we may possibly have a
taste of the same state of things among ourselves
perhaps. However, we may probably be able to
feed cur unemployed without much trouble, till
times arc Letter.
Finally, then, look at things as they are, inform
yourselves to the best of your opportunity, keep
cool, and don’t commit yourself to anything rash
ly and irrevocably. We feel bound to inform our
readers as far as we can, and this is the best in
formation and the best adxjce we can now give
you. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst,
work for what is in sight. What you can’t cure,
you will, as sensible people, do all you can to
make tolerable.
OPINION OF THE: ATTOKNEY'GEN’Lt
[official paper.]
Attorney-General’s Office, 1
November 20, 1860. )
Sir : I have had the honor to receive your note
of the 17th, and now reply to the grave questions
therein propounded as fully as the time allowed
me will permit.
Within flicir respective? spheres of action the
Federal Government and the Government of a
State are both of them independent aud supreme,
but each is utterly powerless beyon l the limits
assigned to it by the Constitution. Ir Congress
would attempt to change the law of descents, to
make anew rule of personal succession, or to dis
solve the family relations existing in any State,
the act would be simply void ; but no more void
than would be a State law to prevent the recapture
of fugitives from labor, to forbid the carrying of
the mails, or to stop the collection of duties on
imports. The will of a State, whether expressed
in its Constitution or laws, cannot, while it re
mains in the Confederacy, absolve her people
from the duty of obeying the just and constitu
tional requirements of the Central Government.
Nor can any act of the Central Government dis
place the jurisdiction of a State, because the laws
of the United States are supreme and binding
only so far as they are passed in pursuance of the
Constitution. Ido not say what might be effected
by mere revolutionary force. I am speaking of
legal and constitutional right.
This is the view always taken by the Judiciary,
aud so universally adopted that the statement of
it may seem common-place. The Supreme Court
of the United States has declared it in many cases,
i need only refer you to the United Sta’tes vs.
Booth, where the present ChiSf Justice, express
ing the unanimous opinion of himself and ail his
brethren, enunciated the doctrine in terms so
clear aud full that any further demonstration of it
can scarcely be required.
The duty which these principles devolve not
only upon every officer, but every citizen, is that
which Mr. Jefierson expressed so comppndiouslv
in his first inaugural, namely, to “support the State
Governments in all their rights, as the most com
petent administrations for their domestic concerns,
and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican
tendencies,’’combined with “ the preservation of
the General Government, in its whole constitu
tional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peace at
home and safety abroad.”
To the Chief Executive Magistrate of the Union
is confided the solemn duty of seeing the laws
faithfully executed. That he may be able to meet
this duty with a power equal to its performace.he
nominates his own subordinates and removes
them at his pleasure. For the same reason, the
laud and naval forces are under his orders as their
commander-in-chief. But his power is to be
used only iu the manner prescribed by the legis
lative department. He cannot accomplish a legal
purpose by illegal means, or break the laws him
self to prevert them from beiugviolated by others.
The acts of Cougress sometimes gives the Pre
sident a broad discretion in the use of means by
which they are to be executed, and sometimes
limit his power so that he can exercice it only in
a certain prescribed manner. Where the law di
rects a thing to be done, without saying Low, that
implies the power to use such means as may be
necessary and proper to accomplish the “end
of the Legislature. But, where the mode of
performing a duty is pomted out by statute, that
is the exclusive mode, and no other can be follow
ed. The United States have no common law to
f ill back upon when the written law is defective.
If, therefore, an act of Congress declares that a
certain thing shall be done by a particular officer,
it cannot be done by a different officer. The
agency which the law furnishes for its own execu
tion must be used to the exclusion of all others.—
For instance, the revenues of the United States
are to be collected in a certain way, at certain es
•■iblished ports and by a certain class of officers;
J the President has no authority, under any circum
’ stances, to collect the same revenues at other
’ plrces, by a different sort of officers or in ways
| not provided for. Even if the machinery furnish
i ed by Congress for the collection of the duties
should by any cause become so deranged or bro
ken up that it could not be used, that it would not
be a legal reason for substituting a different kind
of machinery in its place.
The law requires that all goods imported into
the United States within certain collection districts
shall be entered at the proper port, and the dutv
thereon shall be received by the Collector appoint
ed so” and resiling at that port. But the l'unc.
tions of the Collector may be exercised anywhere
at or withui the port. There is no law which
confines him to the Custom House, or to any oth
er parlienlur soot. If the Custom House were
burnt down, h*. might remove to another build
ing; if he were driven from the shore, he might
go on board a vessel in the harbor. If he keeps
within tiie port he is within the law. A port is a
place to which merchandise is imported, und from
whence it is exported. It is created bv law. It
is not merely a harbor or haven, for it may be es
tablished where there is nothing but an open
roadstead, or on the shore of a navigable river,
or at any other place where vessels may arrive
and discharge or take in their cargoes. It com
prehends the city or town which is occupied by
the mariners, merchants and others who are en-
gaged in the business of importing and exporting
goods, navigating the ships, and furnishing them
with provisions. It includes also so much of the
water adiacent to the city as is usually occupied
by vessels discharging or receiving tlieir cargos,
or lying at anchor and waiting for that purpose.
The first section of the Act of March !, 1833,
authorized the President in a certain contingency
to direct that the Custom House for any collec
tion district be established and kept in any se
cureplace within some port or harbor of such dis
trict, cither upon laud or on hoard any vessel.
1 u ail y VCBSCI.
But this provision was temporary, and expired at
the end of the session of Congress next after
wards. It conferred upon the Executive a right
to remove the site of the Custom House, not
merely to any secure place within the legally es
tablished port of entry for the disirict—that right
he had before—but it widened his authority so as
to allow the removal of it to an yport or’harbor
within the whole district. The enactment of that
law and the limitation of it to a certain period of
time now past, is not, therefore, an argument
against the opinion above expressed that you can
now, if necessary, order the duties tojbe collected
on board a vessel inside of any established port of
entry. Whether the first and fifth sections*of the
Act of 1833, both of which were made temporary
by the eighth section, should be re-enacted, is a
question for the legislative department.
Your right to take such measures as may seem
to be necessary for the protection of the “public
property is very clear. It results from the pro
prietary rights of the Government, as owner of
the forts, arsenals, magazines, dock-yards, navy
yards, Custom Houses, public ships, and other
property which the United States have bought,
built and paid for. Besides, the Government of
the United States is authorized by the Constitu
tion (Art 1, Sec. 8,) to “exercise exclusive legis
lation in all cases whatsoever * * over all
places purchased by the e nsent of the Legisla
ture of the State in which the same shall be, for
the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals,
dock-yards and other needful buildings.” It
is believed that no important public building has
been bought or erected on ground where the Leg
islature of the State, in which it is, has not passed
a law consenting to the purchase of it, and ceding
the exclusive jurisdiction. The Government, then,
is not only the owner of those buildings and
grounds, but, by virtue of the supreme and para
mount law, it regulates the action and punishes
the offences of all who are within them. If anv
one of an owner’s rights are plainer than another
it is that of keeping exclusive possession and re
pel'ing intrusion. The right of defending the
public property includes also the right of re-cap
ture after it has been unlawfully taken by anoth
er. President Jefferson held “the opinion, and
acted upon it, that he could order a military force
to take possession of any land to which the United
States had title, though they had never occupied
it before, though a private party claimed and held
it, and though it was not then needed nor pro
posed to be used for any purpose connected with
the operations of the Government. This may
have been a stretch of Executive power, but the
right of re-takiug public property In which the
Government lias been carrying on its lawful busi
ness, and from which its officers have been un
lawfully thrust out, cannot well be doubted; and
when it was exercised at Harper’s Ferry, in Octo
ber, 1859, every one acknowledged the legal jus
tice of it.
I come now to the point in your letter which is
probably of the greatest practical importance. By
the Act of 1807, von may employ such parts of the
laud and naval forces as you shall judge necessa
ry for the purpose of causing the laws to be duly
executed, in all cases where it is lawful to use the
militia for the same purpose. By the Act of 1795,
the militia may be called forth “whenever the laws
of the United States shall be opposed or the exe
cution thereof obstructed in any State by cornbi-
V'*i>us too powerful to be suppressed by the or
vest£n 9 f judicial proceedings, or by the
upon the ira P OS , eB
ciding whether the exigency n£ Mifohtjr of de
quires the use of military force; and fn pT,, ,^ t re ‘
to the magnitude of that responsibility will be his
care not to overstep the limits of his legal afnd
;iust authority.
The laws referred to in the Act of 1795 are
manifestly those which are administed by the
judges and executed by the ministerial officers of
the courts for the punishment of crime against
the United States, lor the protection of rights
claimed under the Federal Constitution and laws,
and for the enforcement of such obligations as
come within the cognizance of the Federal Judi
ciary. To compel obedience to these laws, the
courts have authority to punish all who obstrnct
their regu’tr administration, and the Marshalls
and their Deputies have the same power as|Sher
iff sand their Deputies in the several States m ex
ecuting the laws of the States. These are the or
dinary means provided for the execution of the
laws, and the whole spirit of our system is op
posed to the employment of any other, except in
cases of extreme necessity, arising out of great
and unusual combinations against them. Their
agency must continue to be used until their inca
pacity to cope with the power opposed to them
shall be plainly demonstrated. It is only upon
clear evidence to that effect that a military force
can be called into the field. Even then its opera-
tions must be purely defensive. It can suppress
only such combinations as are found directly op
posing the laws aud obstructing the election
thereof. It can do no more than what might and
ought to be done by a civil posse, if a ctvu posse
could be raised large enough to meet the same
opposition. On such occasions, especially, the
military power must be kept in strict subordina
tion to the civil authority, since it is only in aid of
the latter that the former can act at all.”
But what if the feeling in any State against the
United States should become so universal that
the Federal officers themselves (including Judges,
District Attorneys aud Marshals) would be reach
ed by the same influence and resign their places?
Os course the first step would be to appoint oth
ers in their stead, if others could be got to serve.
But, iu such event, it is more than probable that
great difficulty would be found in filling the of
fices. We can easily conceive how it might be
come altogether impossible. We are, therefore,
obliged to consider what can be done iu case we
have no courts to issue judicial process and no min
isterial officers to execute it. In that event troops
would certainly be out of place, and their use
wholly illegal. If they arc sent to aid the Courts
and Marshals, there must be Courts and Marshals
to be aided. Without the exercise of the func
tions, which belong exclusively to the civil ser
vice, the laws cannot be executed in any event,
no matter what may be the physical strength
which the Government has at its command. Un
der such circumstances, to send a military force
into any State with orders to act against the peo
ple would be simply making war upon them.
The existing laws put and keep the Federal
Government strictly on the defensive. You Jean
use force only to repel an assault on. the public
property, and aid the courts in the performance of
their duty. If the means given you to collect the
revenue and execute the other laws be insufficient
for that purpose, Congress may extend and make
them more effectual to that end.
If one of the States should declare her inde
pendence, your action cannot depend upon the
rightfuluess of the cause upon which such declara
tion is based. Whether the retirement ot a State
from the Union be the exercise of a right reserved
in the Constitution or a revolutioary movement,
it is certain that you have not in either case tlie
authority to recognize her independence, or to
absolve her from her Federal obligations. Con
gress or the other States in Convention assembled,
must take such measures as may be necessary
and proper. In such an event I see no course for
vou but to go straight onward in the path you
nave hitherto trodden, that is, execute the laws
to the extent of the defensive means placed in
your liadds, and act generally upon the assumption
that the present constitutional relations between
the States and the Federal Government continue
to exist, until anew order of things shall be sc
tablished, either by law r or force.
Whether Congress has the constitutional right
to make war against one or more States, and re
quire the Executive of the Federal Government
to carry it on by means of force to be drawn from
other States, is a question for Congress itself to
consider. It must be admitted that no such pow
er is expressly given ; nor are there any words in
the Constitution which imply it. Among the
powers enumerated in Art : cle I, Section 8, is that
“to declare war, graut letters of marque and re
prisal, and to make rules concerning captures on
land and water.” This certainly means nothing
more than the power to commence and carry on
hostilities against the foreign enemies of the na
tion. Another clause in the same Section gives 1
Congress the power “to provide for calling forth
the militia,” and to use them within the limits of
the State. But this power is so restricted by the
words which immediately follow, that it can he
exercised only for one of the fallowing purposes :
1. To execute the laws of the Union ; that is, to
aid the Federal officers iu the performance of their
regular duties. 2. To suppress insurrections
against the States; but this is confined by Article
IV., Sec. 4, to cases in which the State herself
shall apply for assistance against her own people.
8. To repel the invasion of a State by enemies
who come from abroad to assail her in her own
territory.
All these provisions are made to protect the
States, not to authorize an attack by one part of
the country upon another; to preserve their
peace, and not to plunge them into civil war. Our
forefathers do not seem to have thought that war
was calculated “to form a more peilect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence, promote the
general welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” There
was undoubtedly a strong and universal convic
tion among the men who framed and ratified the
Constitution that military force would uot only be
useless, but pernicious as a means of holding the
States together.
If it be true that war cannot be declared, nor a
system of general hostilities carried on bv tlie
Central Government against a State, then its
seems to follow that an attempt to do so, would be
ipso facto an expulsion of such State from the
Union. Being treated as an alien and an enemy,
she would be compelled to act accordingly. And
if Congress shall break up the present Union by
unconstitutionally putting strife and enmity anil
armed hostility between different sections of the
country, instead of the “domestic tranquility”
which the Constitution was meant to insure, will
not all the States be absolved from their Federal
obligations? Is any portion of the people bound
to contribute their money or their blood to carry
on a contest like that?
The right of the General Government to pre
serve itself in its whole constitutional vigor by re
pelling a direct and positive aggression upon its
property or its otlicers cannot be denied. But
this is a totally different thing from an offensive
war to punish the people for the political mis
deeds of their State Government, or to prevent a
threatened violation of the Constitution, or to en
force an acknowledgment that the Government of
the United States is supreme. The States are col
leagues of one another, and if some of them shall
conquer the rest and hold them as subjugated
provinces, it would totally destroy the whole the
ory upon which they are now connected.
If this view of the subject be as correct as I
think it is, then the Union must utterly perish at
the moment when Congress shall arm one part of
the people against another for any purpose be
yond that of merely protecting the” General Go
vernment in the exercise of its proper constitu
tional functions.

Meeting in Columbia County.
Pursuant to call, a portion of the citizens of
Columbia comity assembled at Appling on Tues
day the 4th December. Judge Wm. 11. Murray was
called t<. the chair, and John E. Benton requested
to act as secretary.
I)r. Casey offered the following preamble and
resolutions, which were carried, viz :
Whereas, A crisis having arrived in our Govern
mental affairs, presenting to the people of the
slaveholding States the necessity of holding coun
cil with each other as to the course of conduct
they shall adopt for their own safety, we, a por
tion of the citizens of Columbia county, irrespec
tive of party, responsive to the call of” His Excel
lency, Joseph E. Brown, have convened this dav
at Appling for the purpose of couferring with one
another, and to adopt preliminary measures to
have our county represented in the State conven
tion ; without further preumble, it is therefore :
Resolved, That in our opinion ttie bare election
of a man to office, elected, too, according to the
prescribed forms of the Constitution, is not, a jus
tifiable cause for secession.
Resolved, That while we heartily deplore the
election of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Ham
lin to the office of President Vice President
and consider it only a disgrace to the office’
but to the nation ; yet we are disposed to go be
hind the election, and to antedate our cause of
complaint to the State enactments, which arc to
be found on the statute books of several ofthefree
States ; which unjust and odious laws are pre
judicial to our interest, subversive of our equality
in the Union, and are in direct conflict with the
spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United
States.
Resolved, That in our judgment the convention
should demand of those States which have passed
these unconstitutional laws, a repeal of them ; and
iti case of a refusal or non-compliance with’ our
demands, then, and in that event, we strike for in
dependence.
On motion, the convention proceeded by ballot
to nominate suitable delegates to represent this
county in the State convention, the three receiv
ing the largest number of votes to be declared the
nominees. Upon couuting the ballots, it was
found that Dr. Henry R. Casey, Dr. Wm. A. L.
Collins, and Richard S. Neal received the largest
vote, and were declared the nominees of this con
vention.
On motion, it was ordered that the proceedings
of this convention be published in the papers of
the city of Augusta, and in the Georgia Herald.
The meeting then adjourned sine die.

Ilf~ The Oxygenated Hitters.— For years medical sc
encehaß been taxed and tlie skill of the physician exhausted Inj
the hope of discovering some remedy available to cure that
most distressing of all diseases—Dyspepsia, as well its 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 hut of a day’s standing.
For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
Genetal Debility it Is equally salutary and certain.
[From W. A. Ilarp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.) Times.]
Covington, April 7,1860.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Co—Gentlemen : Having derived

its attendant evils, I consider it a remedy of inestimable value.

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. As 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 bad
ever used or heard of. At length this effect ceased, and I sec m
ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed ren
sibly better aud slept soundly all night. The next day I fol
lowed the same course, and continued to take the Pills in th Is
way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cutcd.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”
