CHARLES J. JENKINS,
JOHN P. KING,
ALEXANDER C. WALKER.
The Meetlnjs Yesterday.
It is with feelings of pride and exultation that
we aunouncc the result of the meeting'yesterday.
Our hopes for a successful and honorable termina
iion of the present difficulties of the country
brightened when we witnessed the large and re
spectable assembly aud the vivid interest taken
b} r all invited to the meeting in the proceedings.
Men who are seldom or never seen at political
meetings, were present, testifying that they felt
this to be no ordinary occasion, but one whose
importance would be acknowledged throughout
the State. There was little noisy enthusiasm,
but a deep and solemn feeling of the importance
of acting with prudence and wisdom, pervaded
tlu.se who met there in compliance with the call.
Our candidates are before the people, and we can
proudly point to our ticket and challenge the State
to equal it in the virtues and abilities necessary in
this fearful crisis. So far as Richmond county is
concerned the destinies of Georgia will bP commit
ted to able men, relying upon their wisdom, pru
deuce and moderation t 6 preserve the honor of
their State and the interest of their constituents.
We have required from them no pledges, hamper
ed them with no instruction, we have only asked
from them that “the Republic should receive no
detriment.” Their high characters for probity,
wisdom and justice, are sullicient guarantee that
with them the high trust we shall commit will be
safe. It is for them to see that Georgia asks for
nothing but her rights, submits to nothing wrong.
Voters of Richmond county our ticket is before
you ! Three of our best aud most honored citi
zens, Jenkins, King fc and Walker, called upon to
serve you in a cause unparalleled for importance
in the history of the country—a cause in which
vour dearest honor and your most vital interests
are at stake—are candidates, at the solicitation ol
hundreds of citizens, for your suffrages. The
question for you to decide is, are they the
men to whom can safely be confided these great
trusts. Without a doubt of your affirmative an
swer at the election—confiding in your good sense
and patriotism we leave the decision to your cool,
calm and deliberate judgment. Aud during the
short time which is to elapse between this and the
day of election we call upon every one who loves
his State and his country—every one. willing to
make one more trial for his rights in his Union
and that of lus fathers—every one not willing to
surrender to our enemies, without a struggle, this
great temple of liberty, founded in wisdom and
cemented with blood—every one who desires
that, if we must must retire from it, we should do
so with calm dignity and deliberation, with the
concurrence of all those as deeply interested as
ourselves and not in a precipitate stampede—all
who desire that order should be preserved, the
supremacy of tae law maintained and that the
revolution, when it cotnes, should not be anarchi
cal and bloody,all such vve call upon to be up and
doing, working while it is yet day.
Cavalier and Puritan.
The most venerable festival of the Christian
Church occurs to-day. For nearly seventeen hun
dred years this has been a day observed by solemn
Church services, by feasting and merry-making—
by genial family meetings, by charities to the
poor and needy, and Reconciliation of the acjnnnu
lated enmities of the year. Derived from, the
primitive Catholic church, the mother of ail
churches, it has been banded down through the
so-called Reformation, whose champions, while
repudiating feasts and saint’s-days, dared not, or
would not interfere with this great festival so
cherished by the people. It only ceased to be oh
served by Christians throughout the world, when
the Puritan fanaticism sprung up, and, superior
in wisdom to Solomon, taught that all earthly joy
was sin—that there was no time to laugher to
• dance—that there was a time to hate, but no time
to love.
. The effects of the politico-religious contests of
0 nfbre than two centuries ago in England are visi
ble to this day in this country—Cavaliers and
Round-heads unfortunately here stand on each
side of a geographical line, and are not mingled
into one people as in the mother country, and
their contests, entailed on their descendants, have
more to do with the present unhappy divisions ol
our country thftn at first glance seems possible.
The Puritan, seeking that “freedom to worship
God,” which after he had attained, he refused to
others, peopled the North and became ten times
unft-e ascetic and severe than in the land of his
origin* ..True, the natural revulsion took place—
the too tightly strung morality rebounded, and
hktjdescendants are any thing but Puritans, though
(except in the venerable Episcopal Church) they
pay no more regard” to Christmas than did their
forefathers. Their O stubborness, bigotry aud in
• toleran.ee, mixed with nirniy laudable qualities, are
characteristic of their origin. -The Puritan aiid
his descendants are types tff the Saxon element
of the English race—as the Cavalier was of the
Norman.
The latter, in the settlement of the domains of
England in America, chose °the more genial cli
mate and fertile soil south of the Chesapeake.—
Loyal and true to the instincts of bis origin, when
not one foot of land remained to his King in
Europe, the Cavalier stretched forth his hand to
the royal fugitive and begged him to cross the
ocean and found anew empire in the “Old Do
minion.” Devout adherent of the Church of En
gland, where Christinas and all church holidays
were proscribed “at home,” and their observance
punished by scourgings, tine and imprisonment,
be maintained their festivities with a defiant zest,
and handed down their customs to his posterity,
which has spread South and West, till the Christ
mas tree, planted on the banks of James River
has become a migbty forest, aud our broad Union
is divided between the descendant of the Norman
Cavalier reverencing Christmas, and the descen
dant of the Saxon Puritan repudiating it.
City it is so—but if the elements of our Saxou-
Norman race, commingled for eight hundred
years,’ tfre to be, at this late day, separated on this
continent, let it be into two great nations, not
into many insignificant fragments—let us bear no
more of a “Cotton Confederation” or a “Middle
Confederation”—but let us have instead (what
may sound like a jest, but which has something
of seriousness in it; a confederation of the Christ
mas States.
It seems almost like mockery now, when our
country is trembling upon the v erge of an abyss
into which patriots fear to look, when apprehen
sion” and gloom sicken men’s hearts and cloud
their faces—when pecuniary embarrassment
straightens many who have never felt it before,
still we hope that all will make the best of unto
ward circumstances, and enjoy a Merry Christ
mas, forgetting, for a time, our chastisements and
remembering only our blessings.
Camden Count v.—A meeting of the citizens of
Camden county in favor of immediate secession,
on tlj ]sth inst., adopted the following :
That the time has arrived when there should
uad must be a liual and lixed settlement of the
slavery question, and as this point cannot be at
tained m the Union, secession is the only alterna
tive ; peaceably if possible, forcibly if necessary.
That should Florida secede, and Georgia prove
herself so lost to all sense of honor aud dignity as
to remain in this Union, then, we, the citizens of
Camden county will secede aud ask admission
with Florida.
The. Fugitive Slave Cask in Canada.— A large
meeting was held at Isoronto, Canada, on Thurs
day night last, to sympathise with the fugitive
slave Anderson, claimed under the Ashburton
treaty, for killing Mr. Driggs, of Missouri, who
endeavored to prevent his escape. Strong speech
es were made against his rendition, by lawyers,
clergymen aud others. A resolution was passed
to appeal the case to England if necessary, and a
netiuoa was adopted to the administrator of tHy
government praying for the relief of Anderson.
.THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS—2d Sea’ll.
IN SEN ATE Dec. 19.
Mr. Toombs appeared in his seat.
The bill to carry intMapffect certain treaty stipu
lations with Mexico was taken up, but before it
was disposed of the regular order was resumed—
being the resolutions ot Mr. Johnsou, of Tennes
i see, fouamending the Constitution.
Mr. Pugh obtained the floor, when the Senate
adjourned at 5.30 P. M.
I HOUSE.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, offered a joint reso
lution that when the two Houses of Congress ad
journ to-morrow, they adjourn to meet on Mon
day, January 7th.
Mr. Etheridge, of Tenuessee, moved to lay the
resolution on the table, upon which the yeas and
nays were ordered, and resulted, yeas 77, nays 74.
So the resolution was laid on the table.
Mr. Edaaindson, of Virginia, presented a se
ries of resolutions, which, without beiug read,
were referred to the Committee of Thirty-three.
On motion of Mr. Sherman, ffie House resolved
itself into Committee of the Whole upon the bill
making appropriations for deficiencies in the ap
propriation of the fiscal year ending 30th June,
1 SOI, Mr. Boeock in the Chair. The bill was read
by sections.
Mr. Sherman offered an amendment placing
#l*oo,ooo at the disposal of the President to supply
deficiencies in the appropriation for suppressing
the African slave trade.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, oflered an amendment
providing that no money should be appropriated
for the support of negroes captured on board of
slavers not bound to ports of the United ‘States.
He was opposed to the African slave trade, but
objected to the policy sought now to be pursued.
Mr. Clemens, of Virginia, thought the construc
tion of the act of 1819 should be settled uow. The
contract made by the President for the support of
Africans was in violation of law.
Mr. John Cochrane did not rise to discuss the
question in its philanthropic or liumantarian
bearings. Expenses incurred upon the faith of
the Government should be paid. The question
was not whether the law 4 last year was in ac
cordance with the act of 1811* or not. When the
law required that helpless human beings in the
possession of life should he received by the Gov
ernment, the inference was that the Government
should conserve that life, and had power so to do.
Mr. Clemens asked where the power was given
in the Constitution ?
Mr. Cochrane said the higher law—the law of
humanity—gave the power. When the law di
rected the Executive to take human life under his
control, the letter and spirit of the law required
that lie should conserve that life. That was the
construction put on the law ot 1819 last year. Mr.
Cochtune further deprecated the suggestion of
the apprenticeship system. The future of the
negro race was a dread question, which might
find its solution in blood. lie was opposed to
mingling these barbarians with the civilized ne
groes upon tins continent. He apprehended a war
of races, and an “irrepressible conflict” whenever
the aspirations nfcdhe colored man made him de
sire the superior position of the white race.
Messrs. Bingham, of Ohio, and Kunkle, of Ma
ryland, severally expressed their views. The
latter thought we should devote ourselves solely
to the protection of our own coasts against the
introduction of Africans, lie opposed the views
of the gentleman from New York \Mr. Cochrane,)
in respect to the apprenticeship system.
After some further desultory debate, Mr. Rea
gan’s amendment was rejected, and the Commit
tee rose and reported the bill to the House.
The amendments appropriating #187,000 for
the deficiencies of printing, and #15,000 for the
Custom House at .St. Louis, were adopted without
division.
The amendment of Mr. Burnett was rejected by
yeas 07, nays 100, and the appropriation of $900,-
000 for the suppression of the slave trade was
then adopted, and the bill finally passed by yeas
110, nays 60.
Mr. Florence, of l’ennsylvania, offered a resolu
tion that, with the consent of the Senate, when
the House adjourn to-morrow it adjourn to meet
on Monday, January 7th. This, he said, wpuld
enable the Committee of Thirty-three to sit during
the interim.
Mr. Hughes, of Maryland, thought it better to
adj< urn over, in order that during this great crisis
Representatives might have the opportunity of
consulting their constituents.
The vote was then taken by yeas and nays, and
resulted yeas sJ, nays ‘.'4. So the resolution was
rejected.
Fending a motion by Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky,
to reconsider, the House adjourned.
IN SENATE Dec. 20.
Mr. Hunter, from the Committee on Finance,
reported back the Tariff bill, and recommended
that it be postponed until the 4th of March next.
Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Clark desired to take up his resolution call
ing for information regarding Fort Moultrie.
Mr. Lane desired to oiler the substitute for
them tendered by him a feiv days since.
Mr. Saulsbury did not desire to have either the
resolutions of the Senator from Oregon, or those
of the Senator from New Hampshire, taken up, as
they tend to irritate and endanger the peace of
the country.
Mr. Clark thought it best that the country
should know facts, and not be agitated as it is
now from mere suspicion.
Mr. Trumbull thought that the resolutions call
ed simply for information from the President, if
not incompatible with the public interest. It was
usual to call for such information by the Senate,
and he saw nothing in it objectionable.
Mr. Hunter hoped that all of these exciting sub
jects would be postponed until it could be demon
strated if any concession or compromise could be
made. These resolutions involved the question
of coercion, in which fifteen States of the Union
felt so deep an interest. He hoped that the reso
lutions would not be taken up.
Mr. Mason said that Congress would soon deal
with subjects so [/t actical in their nature that they
would relate to the very question contained in
these resolutions. No one enteitained a doubt
but that the question would be presented in a
practical form, and if brought up now it would
only lead to inflaming the public mind, and to
produce an angry feeling. He knew, unofficial
ly, of the condition of the forts, anil the Senate
doubtless knew them.
Mr. Clark disclaimed any idea to keen up au an
gry feeling. He had seen many rumors regard
ing the condition of these forts, but he desired to
have some information which he could rely on.
He desired to know if these forts were sufficiently
protected. There was no harm in ascertaining
that. He thought that the resolutions were more
of a peaceful than a hostile character.
Mr. Davis opposed the adoption of the resolu
tions, and thought that the Executive was solely
responsible for the state of the forts, and that it
was impracticable in this particular case, where
delicate rights were concerned, to make these in
quiries.
Mr. Clark desired to vote on tie resolutions.
He wanted them adopted or rejected. The Presi
dent need not send anything in reply to the reso
lutions, if incompatible with the public interest.
Mr. Trumbull said that something bad been said
about coercing a State in this debate. Now he
had never heard of any one in the Senate, or in
this country, who believed in coercing a State.
No one believed in any power of the United States
to declare war against a State ; but the Federal
Government could enforce its laws, for its officers
were sworn to see that they were faithfully exe
cuted.
Before a vote was taken on taking up the reso
lutions—
Mr. Slidell said that he had received no satis
factory explanation of the despatch sent by the
Associated Press, itiisrepresenting him, although
the Agent at Washington had written him- note
stating that he never sent it. Other agents, how
ever, were guilty, and he therefore oflered a reso
lution requesting the Vice President to expel any
reporter who reported the proceedings in whole
or in part of the Associated Press. He asked
that it might lie on the table for three or four
days.
Mr. Trumbull said that he held in his hand a
letter from the Washington agent of the Associa
ted Press, stating that he never sCnl the despatch
alluded to, nor bad finy knowledge of it..
Mr. Slidell —lie gave the same information.
The special hour here arrived, and the resolu
tions of Mr. Clark Were laid over informally.
Those of Mr. Johnson, for amending the Consti
tution, were taken up, and Mr. Pugh addressed
the Senate.
Mr. Nicholson moved to postpone the resolu
tions, which was agreed to.
Mr. Cameron moved that the Senate adjourn to
Monday next, and that, it meet every three days
during the ensuing week.
Mr. Doolittle was opposed to thus evading the
Constitution to Obtain a recess. He was in favor
of a joint resolution for adjourning over.
Mr. Douglas said he saw hope for the country,
and-he trusted the Senate would continue in ses
-sion and maintain the Constitution and endeavor
to preserve the Union.
Mr. Mason thought the Senate might as well
lake the recess. Congress could not save the
“Union, for that question rested with the people ol
the States—they alone could settle it.
Mr. Powell hoped that no recess would be ta
ken.
The Vice President here arose and said that
before the adjournment lie desired to name the
Committee of Thirteen. It would be observed
that there were in one instance two Stnators from
one State. This, he thought, was unavoidable, as
the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Powell,) was by
courtesy the Chairman, and he felt it due to the
senior Senator from that State (Mr. Crittenden,)
to place him also on the Committee.
The Committee was named as follows :—From
Kentucky, Mr. Powell and Mr. Crittenden ; from
Virginia, Mr. Hunter; from Illinois, Mr. Douglas;
from Mississippi, Mr. Davis; from New York, Mr.
Seward; from Vermont, Mr. Collamer; from
Pennsylvania, Mr. from Georgia, Mr.
Toombs; from Ohio, Mr. Wade; from Wisconsin,
Mr. Doolittle; from Minnesota, Mr. Rice; from
lowa, Mr. Grimes.
Mr. Davis said that he desired to be excused
from serving on the’Connnittee. He had no expla
nation to make.
The motion to excuse him was put and agreed
to, there being but three or four dissenting voices
on the Democratic side.
The motion for a recess was not taken.
HOUSE.
Mr. Curtis, of lowa, called for the regular order
of business.
Mr. Delano asked leave*to offer the following
resolution :
That Whereas, By the report of the President
in the South Carolina State Convention held on
the 19tb inst., the Hon. William Porcher Miles is
said to have stated to this House, “If you seud a
solitary soldier to those forts, the instsnt the in
telligence reaches our people (we will take care
that it does reach us before it cau reach the forts)
they will be taken, because such a course is ne
cessary to our JJsafety and self-preservation.—
Therefore,
Resolved, That the President of the United
States be requested to communicate to this House
what information he has received, either oral or iu
writing, on this subject; aud whether the forts of
the harbor of Charleston, if further reinforced,
will be taken by any force, authority or supre
macy.
Mr. Ashmore wanted to know where the infor
mation came from ?
Mr. Maynard objected to the consideration of
the resolution.
The Speaker said it was not in order.
__ The bill granting alternate sections of land to
Nebraska for railroad purposes, to which Mr.
Curtis had moved the Pacific Railroad bill as an
amendment, was taken up.
Mr. Branch, of North Carolina, raised several
points of order, that the bill could not be now
considered in Committee, which were discussed
by Messrs. Branch, Sickles and others.
Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, said this Paciffic Rail
road had been used as a mere Presidential scheme
It was unconstitutional, and his State would not
be responsible for her proportion of the expense
involved. He had just received a despatch from
Charleston, announcing that one State had passed
an ordinance of secession, and if such unconstitu
tional legislation was to prevail, Virginia would
soon follow her example. [Slight applause on
the floor.] He charged the Republicans with
seeking to plunder the Treasury while the Gov
ernment was iu the throes of dissolution.
Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, offered an amendment
allowing the contractors to select the route. Re
jected.
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, said in the history of
the Government never had such a case as this oc
curred.
The Committee then rose and reported. The
bill was reported to the House.
Various motions were made to adjourn, which
were voted down, and under operation of the
previous question, the bill was put on its passage
and was passed by yeas 95, and nays 74.
A resolution to adjourn over to the 31st inst.,
was lost, and the House then adjourned till Mon
day-
Election aud Convention Days.
Without taking the trouble to examine the Act,
some of our exchanges arejnistaking the time, in
some casts of the election, and in others of the
meeting of the Georgia State Convention. The
election is to he held on Wednesday, ‘id day of
January, and the Convention will meet on Wed
nesday, 1 6th January, lß6l.
The first section of the article reads as follows ;
Sec. Ist. That upon the passage of this Act, His
Excellency the Governor be, anil he is hereby re
quired to issue his Proclamation, ordering an
election to be lieldj in each and every county in
this State, on the first Wednesday in January,
Eighteen hundred and Sixty-one, for Delegates to
a Convention of the people of this State, to con
vene at the Seat of Government, on the sixteenth
day of January, Eighteen hundred and Sixty-one.
llow Secession is Received at the North. —We
clip the following items from despatches in the
Charleston Courier :
Baltimore, Dec. 21. —The secession of South
Carolina was generally known here yesterday
afternoon. The papers record it as a historical
fact, without special comment. There have been
no demonstrations one way or the other. Very
many say they feel relieved, and hope that the ac
tion of South Carolina will be a lesson to the North
ern fanatics—an effective lesson, which they will
understand and protit by.
Philadelphia, Dec. 2t.— The effect of the Se
cession Ordinance was hardly felt here. As an in
stance of the fact, we note that Stocks are free,
steady, and in demand. Money is slightly easier.
New York, Dec. 21. —The effect of the seces
sion of South Carolina from this Union has not
been fully developed here. It was expected that
uneasiness and a want of confidence would result.
The receipt of #5,000,000 from England does not
restra'n the downward tendency in the stock mar
ket.
The Commercial Advertiser says that the news
from the South will have a disastrous effect upon
all other but Railroad Stocks. There are hopeful
indications here that there will be no collision
between the Federal Government and the Se
ceding States. It is hoped that there will be no
additional secession.
Position of Maryland.— A correspondence be
tween Gov. 1 Licks aud A. Handy, Commissioner
from Mississippi, appears in the Baltimore Ame
rican of Saturday. The latter inquires whether
the Governor will convene the Legislature for the
purpose of co-operating with Mississippi in meas
ures necessary to defend the rights of the South,
and to form anew Confederacy ? The Governor
replies at some length, that Maryland is identified
with the Southern States in feeling, institutions
and habits ; that she is also conservative and de
voted to the Union of the States under the Con
stitution, and her people will use all honorable
means to preserve and perpetuate it.
He declares the sentiment of the people of his
State are almost unanimous to uphold the Union
and maintain their’rights under it. They believe
their rights will yet be admitted and secured, and
that not until it is certain they will be respected
no longer—not until every honorable, constitu
tional aud lawful effort to secure them is exhaust
ed, will they consent to any effort for its dissolu
tion.
The Rb-Constructed Cabinet. — The Senate
having confirmed Edward M. Stanton as Attorney
General, the cabinet is therefore now constituted
as follows :
Secretary of State —Jeremiah S. Black, of Penn
sylvania, vice Gen. Cass resigned. Secretary of
Treasury—Philip F. Thomas, of Maryland, vice
Cobb, resigned. Secretary of Interior—Jacob
Thompson, of Mississippi. Secretary of Navy—
Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut. Secretary of War
—John B. Floyd, of Virginia. Attorney General
—Edward M. Stanton, of Pennsylvania, vice Black,
promoted. Postmaster General—Jacob llolt, of
Kentucky.
Direct Trade in Earnest. —The Selma (Ala.)
Issue says that Col. P. J. Weaver, of that place,
has shipped directly to Liverpool one thousand
bales of cotton, which will be exchanged lor manu
factured goods, to be sold in Selma. Col. W. is
one of the largest merchants and wealthiest plan
ers of Alabama.
Secretary Thompson not for Secession.—Se
cretary Thompson, his friends allege, has not vis
ited North Carolina to advocate secession, but to
recommend a co-operation of all the States of the
South to demand their rights, which, if refused,
justify them in peaceably setting up a government
of their own.
Mr. Bates to be one of Lincoln’s Cabinet. —
The St. Louis Democrat, of Saturday, announces,
by authority, that the President elect, Mr. Lincoln,
has oflered Hon. Edw'ard Bates a seat in his cabi
net. The latter will accept, and his position will
probably be Secretary of the Interior.
Effingham County.—At a meeting of the citi
zens ot Effingham, on the 15th inst., the following
resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That although we earnestly desire co
operation with other Southern States, still, we
hold, as a fundamental priuciple, the doctrine of
separate State action.
Resolved, That we are unwilling to postpone the
action of the State of Georgia until Lincoln’s ad
ministration commences, thereby leaving us the
alternative either of submission or coercion.
Resolved., That Georgia should be left free to
render any assistance she may see fit to her sister
Southern States.
Resolved, That we prefer that the mode of re
sistance be left with the Convention, and that our
Representatives go there uuiustructed.
Schley County. —The citizens of Schley county,
at a meeting on the 15th inst., resolved—
That the best remedy for past, aggressions, and
tbe most effectual and certain preventive, for oth
er aggressions, with which the South is threaten
ed, is secession.
Emanuel County. —At a meeting of the citizens
of Emanuel county, on the Bth inst.,, it was re
solved— ’
That wa do not endorse the idea of immediate
secession. First, let us endeavor to get our rights
iu the Union ; if we fail, then out of it.
Greene County. —At a meeting in Greeue
comity, on the 15th inst., it was resolved—
That it is the utiauimous sense of this meeting
that we cannot submit to the rule of Abe Lincoln,
and that Georgia should secede from the Union
before the 4th day of March, in concert with as
many Southern States as will co-operate with her. •
Pickens County.— A meeting of the citizens of
Pickens county, of all parties, on the 4th inst.,
adopted the following resolution : That we are
opposed to the secession of Georgia from the
Union, and will never consent, without a.struggle,
tamely to give up to the abolition traitors of the
North, all us our rights under the Constitution of
the United States.
Brooks County.— A meeting of the citizens of
Brooks county, on the 15th inst., resolved—
That the State df Georgia, under existing cir
cumstances, can no longer depend upon the Fede
ral Government for security to her rights and in
terests.
That unless some speedy, ample, complete and
permanent plan is adopted for securing all our
rights in the Union, beyond any contingency, it is
the duty of Georgia, at as early a day as practic
able, to’ withdraw from the Confederacy, with a
view of forming anew Confederacy with her sister
slaveholding States.
Pierce County.—At a meeting of the citizens
of Pierce county- on the 18th mst., after organi
zing. Mr. Peacock took the floor, and said he in
ferred, from some expression made by tbe Chair
man, that it was a Southern Rights meeting, and
as he was a Union man himself, moved that all
opposed to immediate secession should retire;
the motion was adopted, and a number withdrew
from the meeting. No resolutions were adopted.

In some counties, where the feeling is much divided, two nom
inations have been made. Those designated by a star (*; are
the “immediate secession” candidates. The others stand upon
the ground of a firm and unyic’dtng resistance—a demand of
the repeal of all unconstitutional and obnoxious laws—a deter
-1 mined effort to preserve our lights, honor and interests in the
1 Onion, and an effort at co-pperation among all the ‘Southern
States.
Distress Among the Laboring Classes of
Philadelphia. —Within the last six weeks, says
the Philadelphia Press, not less than 15,000, and
perhaps 20,000, persons in this city have unex
pectedly been discharged from situations whore
they enjoyed the privilege of earning their bread
by the sweat of their brows Directly and iudi
rectly, probably not less than 50,000 are persons
dependent upon the exertions of the operatives
for subsistence.
The small savings which those who have lost
their situations had hoarded up will soon be spent,
and as theseason grows more and more inclement,
and their necessities increase day by day, their
scanty resources will rapidly diminish. If the
present uncertainties are not soon dispelled many
of those who are now busily at work will not long
retain their situations, and the number of those
who will be unable to support themselves will
rapidly increase. We are, therefore, drifting into
a position which demands the thoughtful attention
of all who are interested in the welfare of our
city.
The Boston Advertiser, the leading Republican
naperof Massachusetts, urges the repeal of the
Personal Liberty laws of that State.
Raising tuk Wind. —“D. Harris & Cos., Pork
Packers and Commission Merchants, Chattanoo
ga, Term.” is a firm name that has achieved a
•sudden notoriety in Augusta, Nashville and Mem
phis, and other distant points, while here the
pretentious establishment is not known even to
commou rumor.
It seems that some two or three weeks ago, a
stranger appeared in our midst—rented a box at
the post office, in the name of “D, Harris & C 0.,”
—mailed, and received a large number of letters,
and soon left, ordering his correspondence to be
forwarded to Nashville. He made orders upon
merchants in the cities above named, for merchan
dize, chiefly salt (to save his bacon.) Several of
these orders were tilled by the unsuspecting par
ties, aud one lot of salt, at least, was sold in this
place, the proceeds pocketed, and the principal of
the firm ot D. 11. & Cos., when wanted, was non
est inventus. The telegraph is in hot pursuit of
the gentleman, but with what success is still un
certain.
The panic is suggestive of many shrewd expo-’
dients to raise the wind.—Chattanooga Advertiser.

BKANDKETH’S PILLS,
which takes all poisons, of whatever nature they may be, from

Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester .
county, New York, says, Nov., 18S8 : “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 aiouse
ail the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the
worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything I had
ever used or heard of. At length this effect censed, and Isc in
ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed i-cn
sibly better and slept soundly all night. The next day 1 fol
lowed tha same course, and continued to take the Pills in th is
way about three weeks, when I iound myself entirely cuicd.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”

S??“ Among the many restoratives which nature has
supplied to relieve the afflictions of humanity, there is no more
favorite one for a cerl ain class of diseases than the “ medicinal
gum” of the Wild Cherry Tree ; but however valuable it is, its
power to heal, to soat-he, to relieve, and to cure, is enhanced
ten-fold by scientific and judicious combination with other in
gredients, in themselves of equal worth. This happy mingling
exists in that
“ Combination and a form indeed”
of medicine known as
DR. WISI'AR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
whose value In curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Whooping
Cough, Croup, Aitlima, Pulmonary Affection, and Incipient
Consumption, is inestimable.
