Ckornck & Sentinel •J PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY, BY W. S. JONES. SATURDAY MORN>fi, DEC.* 15, ISGO. Co-Operation* Amid the present difficulties aud dangers, by which we arc surrounded, the greatest need is plenty of common sense. The troubles and per plexities and exasperations of the times, all ad mit, are such as absolutely demand a full, fair, satisfactory and final settlement of all matters in dispute between the two hostile sections of the Republic. That the two sections are most unfortunately hostile, in great part alienated, al most belligerent, none can deny. There must be a settlement then, of difficulties, one way or an other, and that must be speedy. To enable us to . remain in the Union, the adjustment must be such as will satisfy and pacify the great body of citi ” zens iu both sections. Os course it is simply an impossibility to satisfy thoroughly every individu* al. lint as this is the People's Government, so ’ called, that which will satisfy the majority of the people of this State, and- of the other Southern States, must be submitted to by the minority, or else free government is a dead failure. What shall be the settlement? We should know first what are the difficulties in the way Men tell 11s of nullifying laws, of obnoxious State acts, of Lincoln, of the danger to slavery, of the plundering of the Government, and such like tilings. Hut this is all gammon. Those who op pose the Government on account of its system of collecting and expending the revenues, its fishing bounties, its navigation laws, Ac., are honest dis unionists—disunionists for the reason that they think the Government of the Union is really a dis advantage and not a blessing, regardless of slave ry or any questions connected therewith. As to these matters, and other oppressions now and for some time past existing, they certainly are not such of themselves as would induce a majority of Georgia or the South to disrupt the Confederacy. Others tell us with much earnestness and sinceri ty that the danger is prospective, rather than ac tually existing—that slavery is’ doomed, that abo lition is inevitable, unless we sever our connec tion with the North. We still entertain our origi nal opinion that slavery is not endangered, in the Union or out of it, if the slaveholding section be but united, and true to itself. Slave insurrec tions too are all a delusion, and those who speak or write of such things, are, knowingly or igno rantly, doing harm". Incompatibility at last is the true reason of hostility, and the necessary ground for separation, if we cannot have a change. fl', as the more ardent secessionists tell us, slavery is in danger in the Union, if it be in such danger as to demand separation, then certainly they must know that its security will not become absolute by the separate secession of each State, setting up for itself as an independent nation. Ail must see that security can only be assured by united, concerted action among those who are in terested in slavery, or at least among those States which are devoted to the Cotton, Rice and Sugar culture. The nspect which Georgia has for her Southern sisters, for those whose interests and honor are alike with hers, should prompt her to offer co-operation, and to ask it, even if this were not a wise measure of precaution, perhaps of safety and security. Let us always bear in miud that the prominent reason given for secession is the danger of abolition if we remain, in a hostile government—the insecurity of slavery. If this be true, can any be so blind as not to see, that for security, permanency and power, internal and external, it is all-important that the Southern States consult and counsel together, for the purpose of securing final co-operation in ac tion, if that be possible? If slavery be insecure now, by Georgia remaining in the Union, how in tch more secure will it be if Georgia rashly, : haughtily, disrespectfully, choose to go her own way regardless ol her sisters, and sever her con nection with the Federal Government, without making provision for anew Union? AVhat is Government designed for? It is to enable men in an organized society, to secure life, liberty and their own happiness, without damage to others— such is the theory of good government. If the 4 L T nion has failed in these respects, and failed so signally that it becomes necessary to destroy it, and reconstruct another government, it is wise, just and proper, as we believe, to endeavor to im prove on the old ; and as the first step in that di rection, there should be counsel and conference between those States which are homogeneous— which have like interests and feelings. It does not follow that the conference will result in an agreement for concerted action iu the premises, or for a union of destinies hereafter; but it should be attempted, because it is a proper regard shown to our confederates, and because isolation maybe min, and co-operation safety. If bv a conference of the South, terms can be agreed on, which, if accepted by the North, shall save the Union, and at the same time the interests and houor of the South, (and there is no danger to fear that other terms will be proposed,) then let the Union stand. If we fail in the conference, or fail as with the North, then we shall go unitedly out. But let us have common sense and discretion. Letter oi’ Cobb. We at e indebted to the Hon. Alfred Iverson for a pamphlet copy, (fifteen closely printed pages,) of the Letter of Gov. Cobb to the people of Georgia. It is dated at Washington, Dec. Oth and the Governor announces his determination to return again to his native .State, to share the des tiny of her and her people. We have not yet had ah opportunity to read it, but observe only that Mr. Cobb declares his conviction of the right and duty of Georgia to secede from the Union, and appeals to the State that on the 4th of March she announce her independence, on the assumption hat she will “ never again have equality and jus tice” in the Union. We should like to publish it hereafter if we can find room. Below we publish a letter from a distinguished New York politician, addressed to a gentleman of this city : Dear Sir : Allow me to suggest a plan which I think*will relieve the South in the present emer gency. The South has the power to redress her wrongs, peaceably securing to herself the moral power of l ight, which in itself is more potent than an army with bayonets. They have the right as independent States, to establish noB-intnrcour.se with the North, by en actment of a law requiring merchants and others, before exposing for sale any commodity, the pro duction of the North, to pay into the Treasury of Hie Commonwealth a tax, which in effect would discriminate against the North, and bring the South in direct communication with Europe. This would greatly benefit the commerce and trade of the Southern States, and save the Northern profit on foteign goods. Buying of Europe instead of the North, and as the North requires a duty on foreign productions of from twenty to thirty per cent. in order to compete, it is reasonable to sup pose that a moderate tax on the productions of the North would turn the course of trade direct to Europe. The South possessing the advantage ot buying what they want in Europe would re quire but little from the North, and consequently but little tax would be collected, and that little paid to themselves. The South under these circumstances would not be under the necessity of buying from the North, while the North would be compelled to buy cotton from the South. Such a course of policy, if adopted, would be legal, preserve their rights in the Union, break no law, save the expense of a separate government, and leave a door open for an adjustment of their rights at an early clay, when the same shall have been acknowledged by the North and West. With great respect, I am, Dear Sir, Yours most truly. Mil Hill’s Speech. —On Wednesday evening last, Concert Hall, in this city, was densely pack ed with people, a large number of whom were ladies, to hear the lion. B. H. Hill, on the politi cal issues of the day. We have never before seen that Hall so full nor an assembly apparently bet ter satisfied with the speech of the occasion. Mr. Hill perfectly demolished the policy of immediate secession, as unwise, unjust and inexpedient, while he eloquently and logically portrayed the advantages of co-operation in another final de mand lor a redress of grievances, in the Union i( we can, hut out ot the Union, if we must! lie showed conclusively tw co-operatiou was the onlv mode of effecting a unu ‘ own people, whfch was so absolutely *4^ sarv r ( ._ success in this crisis, lie also proved, inci^ sti . bly, that neither the Constitution of the Unitcu .States nor the General Government was justly chargeable with the grievances complained of, and if the South determined to separate from the North, she should take out with her the Constitu tion—that glorious charter of our liberties, and leave the Northern violators of that sacred instru ment to themselves. Altogether, the speech was a very able and effective one, and calculated to do much good. —Macon CiUsin, TIIIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS~2d Sei’ll. IN SENATE Dec. 11 The resolution providing for the reference of that portion of the President’s Message relative to the affairs of the Confederacy, was taken up. Mr. Hale offered a resolution that the Commit tee on Military Affairs he instructed to inquire whether the expenses of that branch of the public service cannot be reduced without detriment to the public safety, aud if they can, they be further instructed to report to what exteut and what par ticular branch or branches can be dispensed with or reduced. Passed. When the resolutions relative to the secession portion of the President’s Message was taken up, Mr. Bigler took the floor, from yesterday, and said: “ It was my intention yesterday to indicate my n position on the great question which has agi tated the people of this country. This is my only purpose this morning. I shall reserve for some subsequent period, when I propose to discuss the question more fully. Sir, it was truly remarked by the Senator from Mississippi, who sat next to me on yesterday, that evil times have fallen upon us—it is too sad ly apparent. This great Republic of ours is iu imminent dan ger of dissolution. The whole social, political and commercial system is seriously disordered, and shows unmistakable evidence of depression aud distress. Commerce, trade, and finances are deranged. The banks have ceased to redeem their notes in specie, and the Treasury of the Uni ted States is unable to meet the current demands. A general gloom seems spread over the entire country. Why is all this, sir ? Have the great elements of prosperity and progress suddenly been exhausted? No, sir. These were never more abundant than now. What is it, then sir ? Why, sir, disguise it as we may, this sad picture is the result of a political panic. I almost shrink from enunciating the precise cause obvious to every Senator and intelligent man in the land. We hear of Legislatures being assembled, and Conventions of the people being ordered to consider the great questions whether our relations are to be continued or not. Is it thus singular that we have seen manifested deep concern and distress? Sir, this is a sad picture. It seeins to me that it is the part of patriotism and duty to look it fair in the face. My own im pressions at first were that the less said the bet tor. 1 have changed that impression. I believe that the times require that the public men—the select men of the nation here, should come up to the great question and let the people understand what view is taken of it here. For one, lam pre pared to separate myself as far as possible from past prejudices and parly allegiance, and to con sider the condition of the country in a spirit of devotion to its interests. I most heartily com mend the position of the Senator from Connecti cut. Without understanding the desires of the men of his own party, he has told it here, regard less of the connection of his party and prejudices, for I believe he was a friend of the President elect, he has come forward boldly and taken his posi tion for the Constitution, and for the Union as made by the Constitution; for the equality of the States, and for justice among his fellow-citizens of the United States. A Convention of all the States can be called only when two-thirds of the States petition Con gress. Every way Congress must have counection with this subject. We should inquire calmly, so berly and earnestly of each other what can be done here. The South has received my co-opera tion long and cordially. For her rights I have zealously contended long before on this floor. Her cause has been our cause, and her cause to some extent has beeu embraced by a million and a half of Northern men. I acknowledge there has been kept up a war in Congress upon their feelings, well calculated to alienate them. Doc trines are held to some extent inconsistent with the equality of the States. For example, the ex-, elusion of the owners of slaves from the Territories But is dissolution a remedy V Is that the best and wisest of all alternatives, left ? No more fatal step can be taken for the interest of the great State I represent here. I remember yesterday the Senator from Mississippi said that war and even death was to bo preferred to dishonor, and that no St .te could remain in the Union less than equal. Let the South ask redress, and if denied, let two-thirds of the States call a Convention. I will resort to any honorable means to save the Union. I wish to see this government maintain its dignity and influence in the world. It is worth sacrifices, it is certainly worth effort. If you want permanent peace you must strike the dis ease. The hearts of meri must be changed. The most potent influence to cause any Northern man to put down the abolition question and give the South her rights on that question is the tariff. Manufacturers and miners believed that the Dem ocratic party was prejudicial to protectiou and therefore have goue over to the Republican. No man is warranted in saying that the State of Pennsylvania will adhere to the doctrines of the Republican party. Ido not believe its issue of the irrepressible conflict, as generally interpre ted, is supported in that State. What, because of a party victory is the country to be torn by vio lence, riots, and mobs in your commercial cities and derangement of business V What, is a party tri umph to cause misfortunes worse than dissolu tion? I shall do all iu my power to adjust these unhappy diiferences. I am not despondent en tirely. I can’t bring my mind to contemplate the separation of these States —much less con template the consequences which would follow. Mr. Iverson succeeded Mr. Bigler, and said —I am not willing to vote for the resolution offered by the Senator from Kentucky, neither for Con gressional legislation nor amendments to the Constitution. In whatever form it may come, I have no evidence for the accomplishment of any thing good. Look at the question from a common sense stand point. Is it designed to frame Con gressional legislation to remedy the evils of the South ? Is additional legislation necessary to protect the rights and equality of the Southern States more than is now presented in the Consti tution and laws? If so, what is the Congressional legislation ? As far as the Fugitive Slave law is concerned, what more can Congress do than has already been done ? If there was a proper public sentiment prevail ing in the Northern States, then the South would not complain—power is already given to the Ju diciary and Executive to execute the laws of the government. We do not complain that the Exe cutive has beeu derelict in the discharge of its duty. Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan have car ried out the laws, yet now wc do find at times the greatest difficulty in Northern States to reclaim fugitives, attended sometimes with loss of life.— It is not a defect of the present laws; not the ir repressible conflict, but a vitiated public senti ment in the Northern States. In the conservative States, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the law is not executed, and so in every other free State. Why is it we are put to so m uch trouble to re claim our property there ? It is not the defeat of the law, hut public sen timent that is wrong. When a fugitive is able to escape to a free State, the courts of justice may try the case, hut mob law eventually takes its place. It is proposed to have Congressional legis lation and intervention in slave territory. Is that the object of the resolution for the appointment of a Committee ? No! The great principle which stands at the very basis is that the Black Repub licans intend driving slavery from every inch of Territory. What! they yield to Congressional protection ? No, sir. How many of the Northern Democrats, I would inquire, will be brought to our support? Sir, we know, so far as a portion of Northern men are concerned, that they are hostile to the principles we advocate. As to the resolutions, the means which they set forth will only add to the burthen of the States instead of giving a bless ing. I desire to say a word to Maryland and Vir ginia. The District of Columbia, especially the people of the District, seem to be against us.— They expect a dissolution of the Union is going to destroy the capital, and that property is to be come valueless. Sir, that may or may not be. It depends very much on their own conduct. That five States will go out before March the 4th and form a Confederacy, is an opinion admitting no earthly doubt, and that other slave States will join 011 a favorable occasion, I have little less doubt. I will'-not undertake to discuss the rea son. I have expressed it. If Maryland and Vir ginia desire to have any influence in the forma tion of anew government which must finally own allegiance to, they had better follow our example, and go out of the Union with us, [Laughter,] and so help to form a government. Jt may be that a government will be formed and State enactments put in operation before they get time to take part in it. The South will not open the African slave trade. I believe the great mass of Southern people are opposed to it. 1 sec no reason why Washington should not be the capitol of the Southern Confed eracy'. [Laughter.] Believe me it will be true, laugh as much as they may. [Continued laugh ter 111 the galleries.] Washington will answer just as well as though the capitol was in the cen ter of Georgia. [Laughter.] For one, 1 am in favor of making Washington the seat of Govern ment. [lncreased laughter.] People may laugh, but they will not do so when what I say tells on brick and mortar. Mr. Pugh said he hoped the Union would con tinue after the extraordinary speech they had just heard. When the people of any State organiza tion, or Territory, or community do not desire to have the institution of slavery, his right arm should fall from its socket before he would vote to force them to accept it, and vice versa. Mr. Davis said debates on this subject had al ways resulted in crimination and recrimination. Mr. Mason said our grievances had been great. We have been humiliateed. Mr. Douglas said Congress should apply the ne cessary legislation. A convention of the separate States to settle this matter was riot necessary. MrJiMason—We have become satisfied that un less we have evidence by a Convention of the dif ferent States of a change in Northern opinion we are not bound to remain in the Union. Mr. Collamer said the State Legislatures should aid in establishing fraternal feeling. Mr. Wigfall-Slaves have been recognised as property in at least three places in the Constitu tion. Our rights have been violated. Mr. Douglas said because rights have been vio lated, does that justify a State to dissolve the Union ? ...

Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, said he did not rise to make a speech, but to express his anxious desire that the Select Committee should commence their business aud present their deliberations in some tangible form. Ilis hope was however faint as to any useful result. If any thing was to be done to save his State it must be done at once. The elec tion of delegates to the State Convention takes place on the 24th instant, and the Convention meets on the 7th of January. What means these crowded galleries ? His an swer was the excitement which"pervades the pub lic mind, not only here, but throughout the coun try, all looking to Congress to do something. He hoped the House would stop this debate and do something, and possibly produce harmony among the people. There was a pure gleam of light from Boston, which may ultimately have a good effect on the public mind. Let the North show a returning sense of justice, and the questions which now agitato 11s all beta ken into the hands of the people for proper ad justment He trusted the Committee would do something to harmonise the distracted public mind. He knew Alabama would not remain iu the Confederacy longer than the 15th of January unless something be speedily done. lie was not a secessionist. He desired peace predicated on the principles of the Constitution. If we could have that, you could help us to remain in the Union as long as the sun shall shine, and my pray er shall be sent forth for the prosperity ot this government. , Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, briefly gave his rea sons why he should serve on the Committe. He might be blamed or censured, but in acting where his conscience approved he delied the opinion of the world. He stood here not as the representa tive of his own preferences but of the interests of his constituents. He regretted the resolution un der which the Committee was raised came from a ditinguished son of Virginia. He had entertained the opinion that the .South ern members should withdraw and leave the Re publicans to submit a report for consideration'; but this could not be done. The Constitution was sufficient for the protection of-Southern rights, if executed in its letter and spirit. If our Govern ment rests for its continuance 011 public opinion, he could have no hope from that source, or that it could be preserved by compromises or the use of the sword. The Republicans have destroyed the only bond which can bind the Union. The subject matter for reference to this Committee did not belong to this House. It grew out of principles and systems in the Northern States direelly at war with the safety aud material interests of the South. If there is any action at all, it should originate with the States. The House then voted and refused to excuse Air. Hawkins from serving on the Committee. Yeas 95—nays 101. Air. Hawkins—Lest silence should be construed into consent to serve on the Committee, wished to say, with all deference and good feeling for those who voted against his request, that he would not serve. Air. Boyce asked that he bo excused from serv ing on the same Committee. The House refused to excuse Air. Boyce by a tie vote. Air. Morrill asked to be excused from serving on the Committee, because of other duties which fully employ his time. The question on excusing Mr. Morrill was ta ken and negatived. Mr. Hindman wished to propose amendments to the Constitution. He was opposed to legisla tive expedients. At half-past two o’clock the House adjourned. Meeting ill Columbus, Miss. A large meeting of the citizens of Lowndes co., Mississippi, was held at Columbus, on the 19th November at which the following resolutions, proposed by Geo. R. Clayton, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, were unamiously passed ; Resolved, That in view of these violations of (lie federal compact menacing the overthrow of enr constitutional rights, the exigency has been forced upon us, requiring action by the Southern States to restore our Federal constitution to its original spirit and design, or sever the ties which bind us together as one nation and preserve our political rights by the organization of a distinct and inde pendent republic. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that the State Convention about to assemble, ought to declare that Alississippi resumes the the powers and functions delegated by her to the Federal Government;, and absolves herself from every obligation thereto, to take effect on the 4th day of March, A. I). ISGI, unless prior to that time the non-slaveholding States shall repeal all their odious, offensive and unconstitutional legislation to defeat the rendition of fugitives from labor, re store the Federal Constitution to its orginal puri ty and design, and affo'd positive security for our domestic peace and property rights in the Union. Provided, that such a number of the slaveholding States shall co-operate with Mississippi as in the judgment of said Convention will justify her ac tion. Resolved, That the Legislature of this State be requested to procure in the meantime, as far as possible, the co-operation of the slaveholding States. Resolved, That in the contingency of the with drawal of any one of the Southern States from the federal Union in advance of Mississippi, her people will feel it to ho their patriotic duty to afford such withdrawing State every aid in men and money, and to stand by her to the last ex tremity. Resolved, That wo do hereby pledge ourselves to discard and renounce all former political names and party organizations, and us one people, whose interests, rights and honor are identical, will unite and co-operate in any measure or action that may be adopted by the State Convention for the vindi cation of our national and political existence. From th.e federal Union. Co-Operation Among; the Secctling StateM. Messrs. Editors: As I have been honored by the request frpm several citizens of this and ad joining States, for iny opinion as to the proper plan to be adopted by the seceding States, for the purpose of securing united and harmonious action —may I ask of you a corner in your “Daily” for the expression of an opinion perhaps of but little consequence. Such co-operation I deem of great importance. The greater the numbrr of States which retire to gether from this Union—the more dignity and moral weight will the movement have. Any haste in one State to move in advance of the others, (though not so intended) will have or be con strued into an npearance of a disregard to the will and action of others. And while Jam free to ad mit that each State must act for herself and re sume by her own independent will her delegated sovereignty, yet 1 conceive that it is possible and highly desirable that all of them should assign some common day for such resumption. In the meanwhile proper steps might be taken not only to secure harmonious action, but to provide for a future Confederacy'. To be more explicit —South Carolina holds he r Convention on the 17th of this month—Florida on the 2d of January—Alabama and Mississippi on the 7tli, and Georgia 011 the lGth of the same month. Other States may anpoint earlier or later days. If the Convention of South Carolina would by ordinance declare that State out of the Union, the ordinance to take effect at some future day —say the 15th or 20tli of February, and by the same ordinance should provide for commissioners or delegates to meet similar commissioners from other seceding Stales —at an earlier day, (say Ist February,) to consult and consider the propriety of stepping from the one Union into another, based upon the Constitution of the United States; and if the several Conventions which follow should in like manner fix upon the same day for secession, and make similar provisions for dele gates for consultation, we should present to the other States aud the world an example of-calm deliberation worthy of a free People. AVhile at the same time there would be no symptom of hesi tancy or indecision, which could be construed into the slightest doubt as to the propriety of our action, or the fixedness of our purpose. And all this can he consummated, before the hated dynasty is inaugurated a . our Government. Blit two objections suggest themselves to my mind as to this course : First, By giving notice of an inteution, tliu seceding State invites prepara tion by the General Government to defeat it. This may be avoided b/ provision in the Ordinance for earlier action in such an event. Second, Is such consultation and negotiation Constitutional while we remain in the Union? I think it is on the part of a State seceding and only postponing the day of secession, “while it might not be on the part of States purposing gtill to remain in the Union. I have said that the new Confederacy should be based upon the Constitution of the United States. Our people love that Constitution, while they are heartily sick of the Union. Os necessity some changes will be required—and the Convention of Delegates tlins chosen could provide for such changes. Thus we could have true co-operation, that is, among States of similar views and intentions, and thus we could provide for an uTTfiost immediate discharge of all the functions of Government. With great diffidence I make these suggestions for the consideration of more experienced minds. Reepectfully, Thomas R. It. Coins. Cass County.— ln Cass county “ immediate secession” and “conservative resistance” meet ings have been field, and two sets of nominations made. A committeo of conference was appointed to settle the differences, which met on the 11th, hut failed to agree. The conservative meeting adopted the following among other resolutions: Thatjwe will be satisfied with the delegates chosen to represent 11s in said convention, (State Convention) should they insist on a policy like this: First, to remonstrate with those States which have violated Twr rights in the same man ner as foreign nations under the laws of nations, treat with each other; and second, if necessary, to resort to such reprisals and retaliatory legisla tion as may he in accordance with the Constitu tion and laws of the United States and the Con stitution of Georgia. We confidently hope that said convention will institute proceedings whereby all our rights will be secured so far as the same can be secured, by human wisdom, and the Government maintained an#thc Union of the States preserved. But if we be disappointed iu this our reasonable expectation, we will insist upon our rights to the disruption of every tie that binds together the American >n. Letter from Hon. A. 11. Stephens. Wc have been favored, says the Journal of Commerce, with the following letter from Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, to a friend, a resident of New York : Ceawfoedville, Ga., Nov. 25,1560. Dear Sir : — Your kind aud esteemed favor of the 19th instant is before me, for which you will please accept my thanks. 1 thoroughly agree with you as to the nature and extent of the dan gers by whieh we are surrounded, and the impor tance of united action on the part of our people, in the line f policy to be pursued. I know, also, that there breathes not n man in Georgia who is more sensitively alive to her rights, interests, safety, houor and glory than mv* self; and whatever tate befalls us, I earnestly hope that we shall be saved from the worst of all calamities, internal divisions, contentious and strifes. The great and leading objeot aimed at by me in Afilledgeville was to produce harmony on a right line of policy. • If the worst comes ta the worst, as it may, and our State has to quit the Uuion, it is of the ut most importance that all our people should be united cordially in this course. This, I feel confi dent, can be effected on tlie line of policy I indi cated. But candor compels me to say that lam not without hopes that our rights may be main tained aud our wrongs be redressed, in the Union. If this can be done, it is my earnest wish. 1 think also that it is the wish of a majority of our peo ple. If, after making an effort, we shall fail, then all our people will be united in making or adopt ing the last resort, the “ Ultima ratio rejum.” Even in that case, I should look with great ap prehension as to the ultimate result. W hen this Union is dissevered, if of necessity it must be, I see at present but little prospect of good govern ment afterwards. At the Forth, I feel confident anarchy will soon ensue. And whether we shall be better off at the South will depend upon many things that I am not now satisfied that we have any assurance of. Revolutions are much easier started than controlled, and the men that begin them, even for the best purposes and objects, sel dom end them. The American Revolution of 177 G was one of the few exceptions to this remark that the history of the world furnishes. Human passions are like the winds; when aroused, they sweep everything before them in their fury. The wise and the good who attempt to control them will themselves most likely become tlie victims. This has been the history of the downfall of all Republics. The sel fish, the ambitious aud the bad will generally take the lead. When the moderate men who are pa triotic have gone as far as they think right and proper, and propose so reconstruct, there will be found a class below them, governed by no princi ple, but personal objects, who will be for pushing matters further and further, until those who sow ed the wind will find that they have reaped the whirlwind. These are my serious apprehensions. They are founded upon the experience of the world and the philosophy of huinui nature, and no wise man should condenm them. To tear down and build up again, are very different thiiigs ; and before tearing down even a bad government we should first see a good prospect for a better. These are my views candidly given. If there is one senti ment in my breast stronger than all others, it is an earnest desire for the peace, prosperity and happiness which a wise and good government alone can secure. I have no object, w ish, desire or ambition beyond this ; aud if I should in any respect err in endeavoring to attain this object it will be an error of the head and not the heart. With great personal esteem and resoect, I re main yours, truly, Alexander H. Stephens. SPECIAL NOTICES. It has been currently reported that in most of tlie Western cities tlie “ Town Bell” tolls every day at noon for the inhabitants to gulp down quinine, as a preventive of diseases caused by malaria of tlie climate. Os course, taking quinine is a contageous habit, and every new settler is supplied with tlie poisonous diug, and instructed to take it in large quantities, if lie would escape tlie Fever and Ague.

This happy mingling exists in that “ < ’ombinatlon and a form indeed” of medicine known as DR. Wl STAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, whose value in caring Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Croup, Asthma, I’utmonary Affection, and Incipient Consumption, is inestimable. Georgia Testimony.

A brother-in-law, who at, one time was much reduced with a severe and obstinate cough, was restore! by it, after other remedies had failed. 1 have also used it for myself and children for obstinate coughs and colds, with an uniform and happy result, and therefore recommend it confidently as the be-1 lung medicine within my knowledge.
