Jr., was unanimously adopted :
Whereas, by a recent act of the Legislature of

the exigency oftlie times demand that an officer

’ Lumpkin County.—At a meeting of the citizens
o! Lumpkin county, irrespective of party, on
Tuesday, 4th, the following resolutions were
adopted :
That we are opposed to immediate secession,
and are in favor of redressing existing evils by
constitutional measures, believing that a prudent
exercise of ihc powers reserved by our constitu
tion to the States and the people, will be found a
remedy for existing evils, and that it would be
unwise to destroy our government until all con
stitutional measures of redress have been tried,
without producing the desired result.
That when the people of Georgia resume the
powers they have delegated to the General Gov
ernment we will owe our allegiance to Georgia
alone, and come weal or woe, stand or fall, we will
stand by om own cherished State.

purpose of obtaining a general expression of opin

The following resolution was adopted;
That we do not consider secession, or dissolu
tion as an adequate remedy for any of the griev
ances complained of, and that our proper remedy
is the enforcement of the laws in the Union, be
lieving ns we do that the constitution and the
laws afford us ample means of redress, and that
the government is able to enforce them.
Gordon County.— A very large meeting of the
citizens of Gordon county irrespectiye of party,
was held at Calhoun on Saturday, Bth i list. Os the
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, we
select the following as expressive of the sense of
the meeting*:
That it is the opinion of this Convention that
Georgia (and the South) should demand through
her (and their) Convention, which shall assemble
upon the 16th of January next, a repeal of all
those anti-fugitive slave laws, personal liberty
hills, and all others, under whatever name, de
feating the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law ; and should demand ample security of the
Northern States against future violations oftlie
Constitution in any manner whatever, and upon
refusal to comply with so just a demand, or signi
fy unmistakably their intention so to do, on or bc
fore the 4th ot March, or at such other time as in
the judgment ot the State Convention may seem
best, that it is the duty of Georgia and her sister
Southern States to reassume those powers delega
ted to the Federal Government and form a South
ern Confederacy.

Political Meeting.
Elbekton, DecJ 4, 1860.
In pursuance of previous notice, a large meet
ing of the citizens of Elbert county was held this
day, to give publicity to their views upon the
policy the State of Georgia and the South ought
to pursue.
On motion ol John C. Burch, Esq., the meeting
was organized by appointing Col. S. C. Stark,
President, and E. P. Edwards, Secretary.
On further motion of John C. Burch, Esq., a
committee of twelve was appointed by the Presi
dent to report action for the meeting, to-wit: Jno.
C. Burch, Wm. 11. Adawis, J. G. Deadwyler, Peter
Cleveland, M. Baker, T. J. Heard, J. T. Smith,
Wm. Teasly, T. J. Bowman, S. Ham, T. li. Alex
ander, and B. li. Taylor, Esxs.
The committee having retired a few minutes,
reported the following preamble and resolutions
through their Chairman, John C. Burch, Esq.,
to-wit:
We, the citizens of Elbert county, having met
together to take into consideration the present
dangerous and crilical condition of our Federal
affairs, and of our relations with the abolition
States, express and publish the following as our
views and opinions of the present emergency :
The election of Lincoln as President, and Hanni
bal Hamlin as Vice President of these United
States, by large and decided majorities in the abo
lition States, and by a vote and party, purely
sectional and hostile to the interests, rights, hon
or and safety of the State of Georgia, speaks a
voice of warning and defiance which a prudent
people will not fail to hear, and a brave people will
not fail to act upon. This hostile party has come
into power with principles avowed, which being
fairly summed up amount to this : that the m£
gro is by nature the equal of the white man, and
ought by law to enjoy equal civil, political and
social rights. Our duty to ourseves aud our pros
terity demands that we should meet such a party
and a government pledged to such principles, with
a firm, determined and effectual resistance. To
fail to do so would disgrace us in the eyes of man
kind—wouid disgrace the ancestry from whence
we sprung, and would go far to justify the fate
which our enemies would impend over us. We,
as we have always been, are willing to abide the
Union which our fathers made, so long as it is
compatible with our honor and safety, and no lon
ger. We are able to defend ourselves, and we are
not willing to have our political, civil, religions
and social rights destroyed and crashed. In the
issue which the abolition .States have forced upon
us, we cannot see where we have in the least
been unjust. They have refused to give up fugi
tives from justice who have been guilty of the
most atrocious crimes in relatiou to our slave pop
ulation—they have refused to give up fugitive
slaves, and both are plainly commanded in the
Constitution which all their officers, are sworn to
support. They have made it a penitentiary of
fence if our citizens as ert their rights to fugi
tive slaves, peaceably in the courts according to
the forms ot law, an act of atrocious bad faith,
not paralelled in the government of any other
country on earth, civilized or savage. They have
insultingly asserted their power to rule over us
by the votes of a majority, and which votes they
swell by the negroes they have stolen from us.
They have shot down and murdered our citizens
in pursuit of their rights, peaceably and accord
ing to law. Under all these multiplied wrongs,
we have been patient and hopeful—have not re
venged ourselves, have instituted or countenanced
no schemes or plan to disturb the peace of the
abolilion States or to injure their people or prop
erty. Longer forbearauce would not be a virtue,
without immediate preparation lor redress and
protection. Therefore.
]lnvolved, 1. The crisis which we are in the
midst of and the dangers which hang over us,
compel us to proceed at once to obtain ample
indemnity for the past and security for the future.
2. That if we remain in the Union we ought to
obtain speedy and sure guarantees for our rights,
safety and honor ; aud failing in this, we ought
to resume our sovereignty as a State, and declare
our separation and independence of the Federal
JUnion.
3. That for the purpose of uniting all our peo
ple, we are willing that sufficient -time (to be
judged of by the State convention,) be allowed to
try any means that may seem wise, just and pro
per, to obtain our lights in the Union.
4. That il this time he extended longer than
the 4th March next, wc hercjry declare it to be
our will, and so instruct our delegates in Conven
tion, that from and after the 4th of March next,
the Federal Government should not be allowed to
exercise any of its functions, nor execute any
Federal law within the jurisdictional limits of
the State of Georgia until we do obtain indemnity
for the past aud security for the future from the
abolition States, and from the Federal Govern
ment ; and we hereby instruct our delegates in
Convention to vote for and obtain, if possible,
such laws and ordinances in said Convention as
will secure us from all exercise of Federal power,
and the operations of Federal law, until such in
demnity and security are obtained.
5. To carry out these principles, we hereby
nomintate Luther U. O. Martin and John C. Burch
to represent us in convention.
Which resolutions were unanimously adopted.
On motion of Robt. M. Heard, Esq., the pro
ceedings of the meeting were ordered to be pub
lished in the Weekly Coustitutionalist, the Chron
icle it Sentinel, aud the True Democrat.
Judge Thus. W. Thomas being then called for,
he proceeded to address the meeting in a speech
of about an hour, in support of the preamble and
resolutions.
The meeting then adjourned sim die.

Suffering at New York.— The large number
of poor men thrown out of employment in New
York by the present unfortunate condition of the
country is exciting much attention and cornmis
seration in that city. A letter from that city says:
There is some talk about the mayor sending a
special message to the common council, recom
mending measures of relief for the mechanics and
laborers out of work, if not out of food. There is
also a deep feeling of resentment in this city to
wards the republicans, who are accused as the
authors of all the troubles that have come upon
the country, and as the men who have taken the
bread out ot the mouths of women and children.
This leeling does not appear on the surface of
things, but as soon as the waters are stirred it
will ooze up and lead to fresh trouble. In the
course of the week there will probably he au ef
fort made by the Union aud conservative men of
all parties to get up a demonstration in favor of
conciliation and compromise, but its success is
doubtful, few believe that it will do any good in
the present position of affairs.
Anticipated Troubles in Boston.— The “John
Brown men” of Boston have determined to hold
two meetings or conventions in that city this week.
John A. Andrew, the Governor elect, has promised
to prseide at oue of them. The Mayor has been
solicited to protect the meetings, and he has re
plied that he will order out the military and po
lice, and protect them “as long as possible.” The
Chief of Police has been also applied to, and lie
says that lie will keep the peace, “if possible.” So
that it is evident that popular sentiment is strong
ly aroused against the abolition fanatics just jit
this time.
The Nashville Banner is authorized to state that
the rumors in circulation as to the off er of a place
to John Bell in Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet tire without
the slightest foundation. No intimation of such
intention lias been communicated to Mr. Bell
either by Mr. Lincoln himself or through any of
his friends.
The depression in business is no where felt
more seriously than in the manufacturing towns
of Massachusetts. A number of cotton mills are
now only running half time. The wages of
the laborers on the Troy and Greenfield (Mass)
railroad have been reduced from $1 to 75 cents
per day.

Washington, Dec. 14.—There is a better feeling
manifest in political affairs. The Republicans are,
dispirited at the Union resolutions now sweeping
the Eastern, Northern, Middle and Southern
States.
The action yesterday of the Special Committee
gives great encouragement to Unionists.
Private advices from Georgia aud Alabama in
dicate ground to hope even in cotton States.
The Philadelphia resolutions were more effec
tive thanthe Southern extremists’ manifesto,which
was generally considered indiscreet and precipi
tate by the members from the border States.
There is good reason to believe that Gen. Cass
intends to resign as Secretary of State. Indeed
it is rumored that the President has his resigna
tion before him, but will endeavor to dissuade him
from resigning.
It is said that the principal cause of Gen. Cass’s
resignation, was the refusal of the President to
strengthen the fortifications in the Charleston
harbor, Mr. Cass believing that the present forces
there would be sacrificed to the fury of the seces
sionists. The President is said to be assured that
uo attempt will he made upon the fortifications
unless thuy are reinforced, and therefore he con
siders that Col. Anderson aud his men are in no
danger.

’ REMOVAL.
TNHE undersigned, Agent for the above Fertiliser, in corse
. quence of its marked success the past season, and the gu: t
ly increased demand arising therefrom, has made arraegen ct la
with the manufacturer for a large and full supply; and
quiring greater facilities for storage aud other accommodation,
has taken the four story Warehouse as below, where he will bo
able to supply any quantity required, with promptness. He
may he allowed to express his satisfaction in view of the (act
that of the numerous purchases made of him by planters, go <-
rally for thepurpo.se of making comparative tests with otter
fertilisers, not one case has come to his knowledge where cur
Fertiliser has not shown a decided* suiieriority. Planters \\ !<
have used Mapes’ Phosphate, now make it their sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much a.-; tjfly tons, for tn-o
the next season. This fact speaks for itself. We have discov
ered a quality, developed in the drouth, which was before unob
served, viz ; its hygrometric power, or capacity, to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a large extent
the late unparalleled drought where it was used, ‘while most,
other fertilisers were not only valueless, but positively injurious
to the plant. The safety and profit as a money intestmut,
arising from the use of Mapes* Phosphate, are now placed be
yond question, and the experience ofthe past season, lias et t po
lished what we have, without hesitation, always asserted foi it,
that is the only fertiliser reliable under all circumstances of
soil, mode of cultivatiou. and of weather.
The undersigned is also prepared to supoly any description ot
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY and IMPLEMENTS, ot
the latest, improved patterns adapted to Southern cultivation, at
lowest prices.
