* A Mfonarcliy.
Ws regret to see the idea gaining ground that
the only hope for order and good government, in
ouee of a dissolution of the Union, will be in a
return to monarchical institutions. It is evident
that the destruction of the Union would do much
to convince the world that republican institutions
are impracticable, and that man’s experiment cf
self-government has failed, not to bo renewed
for all time to come, but our people, bred in de
testation of the very name of royally, will not
submit to retrograde nearly a century, without a
struggle. It may happen that for the preserva
tion of our rights of person and property, we may
have to choose between a military despotism like
that of France, or a limited monarchy like that of
England, but we hope that the moderation and
good sense of our people will obviate the necessi
ty for the choico. We therefore regret to see such
councils as the following, from an eminent states
man of Kentucky, promulgated in the Louisville
Journal :
I confess I can see no well grounded hope of
maintaining the Union under our Constitution,
alter reading tho message, and taking that in
connection with the vitiated condition of the
Southern mind. .
The next step in my judgment that should he
taken, uud taken promptly, as the only one to
ward off a reign of terror, anarchy, and finally an
iron despotism, would be for the Southern States
or the seceding Southern States, to throw down
State constitu ions and obliterate State lines, and
to form a limited monarchy. That would check
up now the downward progress and secure civil
liberty for a long time, but tho people in the
liceutiousuess of their liberty would uot listen to
such a proposal with composure, aud I can see no
termination of the present troubles but an iron
despotism, after all imaginable ills, through
which wo will have to pass to reach even that
harbor of safety.
No Navy.
It is continually thrown in our teeth by the North
ern Press iu their arguments against a Southern
Confederacy, that the South has no navy —not a
sailor or a ship-of-war. Granted, hut has the
JSortb any? The navy belongs as much to the
South as the North—neither can c aim for it ex
clusive ownership, aud it is partly to retaiu our
sharo in it, as well as in other public property,
that we desire the co-opcration of the whole South
—the formation of a Confederacy that could have
the power to demand and obtain that justice in
the division of the assets of the defunct Union
which would most certainly not he granted to a
6'inglo State setting up for herself.
The Secession Conve ition at Charleston have
passed an Ordinance making tho Constitution of
the United States the basis of any Constitution
that may be adopted by the Southern Confedera
cy. When the most ultra secessiouists are con
tent with tho present Constitution, and no other
party demauds anything hut its strict construc
tion and enforcement, it is useless for any man or
set of men to attempt to assuage the present com
motion by amendments to that instrument. No
body asks for them—nobody will be satisfied with
them, and the politicians who propose them may
as well save their breath for a more promising
buncombe.
bhi>atclice, arc.
We mey expect, uutil our election is over, a
bountiful supply of telegraphic dispatches from
Washington aud sensation news from other quar
ters. The action of Georgia is looked upoa with
morn interest tuu r,f any other
State, shthtvs beeu conservative —she has always ■
I.ved up to’ her motto—“ Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation”—aud the greatest efforts will be made
to turn her from her ancient and steady path.

Letter from ttev. W. T. Brantley.
By permission, we publish au extract from a
letter to a friend by Rev. W. T. Brantley, who
is toe well known in Georgia to require aDy guar
a ty for ability and truth. It will be seen that
Lis views on Lincoln’s election stroDgly corrobo.
rate those expressed in the first number of
‘‘Pinckney,” a correspondent of the Constitution’
alisi:
Philadelphia, Dec. 2d, 1680.
You know that my profession ket ps me aloof
from ordinary political excitements, but the emer
gencies of the tunes compel men iu every position
to give utterance to their honest convictions. I
need not tell you how strongly I sympathize with
yon in the grievances of which you justly com
plain, and for which you arc seeking redress. A
native of the South, my early childhood aud much
of my manhood passed in Georgia, receiving at
the hands of her people uniform kindness through
a series of years, my wife and childreu born on
y u ur soil, many of my kindred and connexions
yet residing there—though providentially at the
present time a resident of Pennsylvania—f cannot
hut be deeply moved by whatever gives you
trouble. Iu tne recent cauvass which has termi
nated so unhappily, my position precluded me
from taking any active part. All I did was to ex
press the apprehensiou in a private way that the
election of Lincoln would destroy tl*e Confeder
acy. And when I was about to go to the polls, I
said to one of the electors, who was of my way ol
thinking, that 1 desired to make as strong an anti-
Lincoln mark as possible. He gave me the ticket
which in his judgmei;- uid this most effectively,
and I voted it.
Til • * _ ‘ _ ...ill, nmi il. tV> r. aim I
The opinion is current with you that the sup
porters of Lincoln in the North are irreconcilea
blv hostile to your institutions ; ami that the re
cent election iuTift be taken us a guaranty of fur
ther infringements upon your rights until these
have been utterly overthrown. If this opiuion
were just, the law of self-pn'servatiou would com
pel you to break off, even in violence and blood if
it must be, all political connexion with a people
who are seeking to stab your vital interests. In
such a case, it would be certaiu destruction to re
main in the Union —it could be no more out of it,
and it might be comparative safety. But the
opinion in question does great injustice to multi
tudes here, even of those who voted for Liucolu.
I will not speak for other States; but iu Pennsyl
vania, where the President elect received (I regret
to say) a lar. er majority than in auy other North
ern Stute, I have the best reason tor knowing that
the masses are overwhelmingly in favor of doing
full justice to the South. Were the questiou sub
united to the people of this State to-day, Are you
in favor of allowing slaveholders equal rights with
yourselves in the territories? —I believe that they
would answer affirmatively by a majority of one
hundred thousand. If, then, you ask how it cauie
to pass that Lincoln received so large a majority,
I answer, it was not opjjpsitiou to the South, but
opposition to the Administration. They feel here
towards Mr. Buchanan just as your own Chronicle
<6 Sentinel feels when, a few days ayo, it express
ed the t ope that Mr. Buchanan would resign. 1
have been reading newspapers ol all sorts, con
verging with intelligent men, and personally ob
sen mg the movements of the day in Pennsylva
nia for four years; and if I were to classify the
elements which united in the support of the sec
tional candid. te, I would say that four-sevenths
of those who sustained him acted from hatred to
what they call Democratic misrule ; two-sevenths
voted lor Liucolu because they believed that the
great industrial interests would be most etliciently
protected under bis administration; the remain
ing seventh voted tor him on anti slavery grounds. ’
Much has beeu said about the “ Personal Liberty
bills” of this State. Whatever laws may be on
the statute book, l know that Pennsylvania offers
no practical obstruction to the complete execution
of the fugitive slave law. Repeatedly since rny
residence in this city, have slaves been returned
to tueir claimants. On one occasion when a mob
of negroes attempted a rescue, they were beaten
off by order of our Mayor—a man who was elect
ed to his office by the same party who have just
voted for Lincoln. Some ol the best friends of
the South who have investigated the matter tell
me that there are no laws of the State which at
all conflict with full justice to the South iu this
respect. If there be any real grouud of complaiut,
I have no doubt that the Legislature, about to
convene, will, on the discovery of the fact, erase
the offensive provision from their books. When
Oov. Packer rebuked the John Brown sympathi
zers in a letter which has been published in your
papers, he expressed sentiments in which the
State concurred almost unanimously. If the
South had united on John Bell, he would have re
ceived the support of this Slate, and would to-day
have beeu the President elect. They rallied
around JLinco u, not because he was an Abolition
ist, but because he was, in their judgment, the
only canditat4 who oould overthrow the Democracy.
The Hoo. Howell Gobb has truly said, that oppo
sition to slavery is the principle which binds to
oetbar the reuslhuit elements of the dominant
1 a th e ‘iortherh States. But the tire which
is but * small part of that wheel,
— y"—* 1 gr — :
aud when broken, the wheel falls to pieces. The
slavery skKfisot, though holding together the Lin
coln party, is od)j the tire. Drive out of your
federal polities this vexed subject as you may—as
you mhajt if y oq,,would have peace—and the whole
party is dismembered and destroyed. 8b odious
was the name Republican in this State, that the
called iD other States were here gener
jftdly known as the “ People’s. Party,” and it was
under this title that the triumph was won.
I am not of those who believe that the South
should submit uncomplainingly to what has just
transpired. I betieve that she"should insist upon
a redress for her grievances. But the remedy is
notin sunderiue ligaments which iay result in
horrors of which I shudder to think. You have
millions of true friends in the North, aud when
the opportunity is afforded they will demonstrate
the fact. That there are people here who hate you
with a bitter hatred, is not denied; hut these are au
iusignificant company compared with those who
are prepared to protect all your rights. If at your
approaching Convention you state any reasonable
conditions on which you will consent to remain
in the Union, I have no doubt that what is asked
can be secured. Your proposals, if refused, would
give you a union at home which you do not now
possess, and would greatly increase the number
of persons here who would justify you in such
measures of redress as may be deemed essential
to your safety.
But I must not tax your patience longer. Ex
cuse this hasty, and rambling letter. It comes
from a heart which loves the South and loves the
Union which lias been confessedly to all of us the
source of great good. In the Union Georgia has
become a powerful commonwealth. Her success
is no longer an experiment. Is it certain that she
will do better to withdraw ? May a merciful God
preside over your deliberations, and conduct you
to wise conclusions, is the prayer of
Your friend, W. T. Bbantley.
For the Chronicle Sentinel.
Will not Submit to llie Action of tlic
Convention.
Mr. Editor :—There are men of the separate
State action or immediate secession party, that
openly say they will not abide the action of the
Convention to meet at Milledgeville the 10th ot
January next, unless that Convention’s action
endorses their policy of going out. of the Uuion at
once. They openly say they will rebel against
that Convention, and the decis on of the sovereign
people of Georgia in Convention assembled, un
less it head to the dictates of the immediate se
cession party. Is not that a nice idea ? The
Deople should know the game to be played. The
players are desperate driven men. What, not
obey the sovereign will of the people ! The peo
ple are the sovereigns in this country. We have
no titled nobility yet —no my Lords yet. We
may have them. * I think it quite likely there are
some who would like to be called my Lord so and
so. Those who think the English government the
best in the world, may have hankering after no
oility, and would like an aristftcracy established
in this laud of freemen after the style and fashion
of the English nobility.
All who declare self-government a failure must
be in favor of a monarchy, or despotism, or king
dom. There is no escape from that conclusion.
Do the people of Georgia believe their govern
uient made by their fathers, a failure? it is no
failure! Demagogues have well nigh ruined it.
The people have been led and decieved by them.
This state ot thiugs is not the choosing of the
people. Politicians have brought it all about
Men desperate in political fortunes and who
shrink from au exposure of their had acts, have
precipitated tRe distress and confusion that exists
upon the people. The idea that self-government
is failure is ridiculous. The failure of self-gov
ernment is sought to be fastened upon the minds
of the people, that it may he the way through
which those who precipitate the Stute into revo
lution may escape the just vengance of an indig
nant and ruined people. They seek to familiarze
the public mind that self-government is a failure.
When that is done, the next step will be a glow
ing description of the English Government, or
some other form of Government, opposed to the
people governing themselves.
I would trust no man who says self government
is a failure. The people of the “cross-roads and
groceries” should see to it that these gentlemen
are left in private life. They go over the State
telling the people that Georgia must assert her
independence. When was Georgia ever depen
dent iu this Uuion ? When was it Georgia was
iii/, independent in this confederation of States?
Some of these immediate secessionists say they
look upon every mau who does not, favor their
break up destructive policy as an enemy to the
South, and that they go in” for putting all to the
sword who are not* with them in their ruinous
design. What a thought! How infamous and
cowardly the thr eat! The honest, cool aud relia
ble planter of the country is our only hope in
this crisis. The time has arrived for the planters
as welt as our coolest-headed Statesmen to act,
control, guide and direct the destiny of Georgia.

n. H. Hill’* Letter ol Acceptance.
The county convention of Troup county was
held on Saturday last., and uoiuinated to the State
Convention Hon. B. H. Hill, Dr. W. P. Beasley
aud Col. James M. Beall. We subjoin Mr. Hill’s
ii;Ui ” :>a ' lUlUt Ga.,
Gentlemen : Your letter, informing me that I
have been unanimously nominated as a delegate
to the approaching Convention, has been receiv
ed. I accept the nomination, because I do not
think such a position ought now to be sought or
decliued.
Y’ou ask for my particular views on pending
issues. These I have hitherto fully given. 1 see
no reason to change or modify the views express
ed to the people of Troup county on the kittli day
of November last.
A more important crisis was never upon any
people. We of the Boutb can bring this crisis to
au end,j’ st as we wish; and we cau reach that
end iu blood or peace, as our passions or our pru
dence may direct. Come what may, we should
never be content with any patchwork. Slavery
must never again be the hobby of the political
demagogue. T greatly deplore so much leeling
aud impatience with so many of our people. We
need ali the wisdom and cool firmness of all our
people. We are iu danger now from nothing but
ourselves. No man is a fit counsellor now who
assumes that slavery can be abolished by any party
or any power. This is a concession to the efforts
uud dreams of fanaticism without any foundation
in fact. Os all people iu this nation, the slave is
this day far the happiest; uud of all property,
slavey is by far the safest. The Union, the Con
stitution, good government and the peace of the
country, are in danger from the passions, the fa
naticisms, and ambition of the white race only.
But whatever may be the cause, a crisis is upon
us, and we must meet it.
It is au hour when every man should he all
prudence and firmness, without petulance or rash
ness in word or action. Every Southern man
should remember that every other Southern man
is as much interested as himself; aud every
Southern State should remember that every other
Southern State must be, more or less, involved
by her action. Each is, therefore, bound by every
consideration of ordinary respect and good feel
ing to offer a consultation and an interchange ol
views before final action.
Has South Carolina done this ? Does her hasty
action become the dignity of the occasion and the
importance of the issue? Rather, has she not
acted with abrupt discourtesy to the claims,
wishes and movements of her sister slaveholdiug
States? I trust she will yet be more deliberate,
a i.l communicative than her proceedings would al
first view indicate. South Carolina is not acting
towards her sister States iu 18(30, as she did act
towards her sister colonies iu 1770. Perhaps her
people are more chivalrous and patriotic ! Jin
the name of Calhoun, South Carolina is doing
what Calhoun, to the day of his death, never in
tended, desired or counselled.
It may be, her present statesmen are wiser, and
understood Calhoun better than Calhoun under
stood himself ! She, doubtless, expects the sym
pathy and assistance ot her sister Southern States;
and these States, equally, expected from her con
sultation, and, at least, advisory co-operation.
77icyhave been disappointed ; she may not be. At
auy rate, I hope Georgia, iu her own sensible
way of doing things, will return good for evil, and
act in no spirit of retaliatory petulance. At the
same time, Georgia will not be dragooned by
either friends or foes. Georgia will prefer discre-
haste, anil wisdom to impetuosity. I be
lieve she will be courteous to all her sister States
of the South, aud seek to combine the wisdom of
at least as many as will act with her. She will
not be coerced to stay in the Union, nor to be
hurried out before the proper time.
There are numberless rumors und telegraphic
reports flooding the country. We know not how
much to believe. Our people must be self-pos
sessed and deliberate, or they will be misled.—
One truth is established : there are too many
demagogues and too few statesmen at Washing
ton. By the papers of this morning lam con
jinned in what I have before suspected : that cer
tain great men, so called, are playing tr-ichs in
this awful crisis, to excite the people ! Oh, my
country !
The dissolution of this Uuion may be a neces
sity. If so, after being fully satisfied of that fact,
let us decree that dissolution. But I must be al
lowed to say that I cannot regard such an event
us an occasion for rejoicing. The sum of Nero’s
i igiatitute is recorded in the fact that he “fiddled
while Rome was burning.” I do not liken our
people to Nero. Far from it. But is it not strange
that we should fire cauuons, illumine cities, raise
bonfires, and make noisy the still hours of night
with shouts, over the destruction of a government
infinitely greater than Rome ever was !
Unless our grievances are fully repressed, and
we cau have satislactory guarantees that they
will not be repeated, I will aid iu the necessity of
disunion. But I shall dissolve this Union as I
would bury a benefactor—in sorrow of heart.—
For, after all, the Union is not the author of our
grievances. men, in both sections,
insult each other and then both fight the Union
which never harmed or insulted either 1 Perhaps
it has blessed all above their merits. For my
self, I shall never ask for more true liberty and
reabhappiness under any government than I have
enjoyed as a citizen of this great American Union.
May they who would destroy this Union in a
frolic, have wisdom to furnish to our children a
better. Yours, very truly,
B. H. Hill.

Leslie, Committee.

Penod&l Liberty Acts.
The National Intelligencer publishes the fol
lowing abstracts of the “Personal Liberty Acts” of
the Northern States:
% MAINE.

deputy sheriff, coroner, constable, jailor, justice
of the-peace, or other officer of the State shall

ceeding one thousand dollars, ana mates it the
duty of all county attorneys to repair to the place
where such person is held in custody, and render
him all necessary aud legal assistance in making

V KKW HAMPSHIRE.
The law of the State declares that slaves, com
ing or brought into the State, by or with the con
sent of the master, shall be free; declares the at
tempt to hold any person as a slave within the
State a felony, with a penalty of imprisonment
uot less than one nor more than five years; pro
vided, that the provisions of this section shall not
apply to any act lawfully done by any officer of
the United States, or other person, m the execu
tion of any legal process.
VERMONT.
This State, by her several acts of 1843, 1850, and
1858, provides that no court, justice of peace, or
magistrate shall take cognizance of any certificate,
warrants, or process under the fugitive slave law ;
provides that no officer, or citizeu of the State,
shall arrest, or aid, or assist in arresting, any per
son for the reason thut he is claimed as a fugitive
slave ; provides that no officer or citizen shall aid
or assist in the removal from the State of any

son is or has been a slave, shall, on conviction
thereof, be imprisoned in the State prison for a
term not less than one year nor more than fifteen
years, and be fined not exceeding two thousand
dollars.
MCSSAOHOSETTS.
The first of the laws known as “personal liberty
acts’ in Massachusetts was passed in 1843, no less
than seventeen years ago. It is based upon the
famous decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States iu the ease of Prigg vs. the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, pronounced in 1842
by Judge Story. By this decision it was de
clared that the rendition of fugitives falls exclu
sively within the functions of the Federal Gov
ernment, and that no State law can interfere with
or prohibit the execution of the Federal law for
the purpose. Statutes in conformity with this
ruling were passed by the Legislature of Massa
chusetts in 1843. In the year 1855 the provisions
of this earlier legislation we’ e applied to the Uni
ted States fugitive slave law of 1850; the wiit of
habeas corpus was extended to the cases of per
sons detained as fugitive slaves ; a trial by jury
was placed at their command; the onus probandi
is laid on the claimant, who must bring two cre
dible witnesses to substantiate his claim ; persons
holding any place of honor or emolument under
the Commonwealth are forbidden to issue any
warrant or other process under the United States
fugitive slave act; jails of the State not to be used
for the detention of fugitive slaves; commission
ers to he appointed iu every county to defend the
cause of alleged fugitive slaves, Ac. In the year
1858 judges of the State were forbidden to issue
auy writ under the United States fugitive slave
law of 1850.
The Boston Daily Advertiser of the 7th inst.,
remarks as follows on the subsequent disposition
that was made of these several acts :
“Finally, in 1851), when the w'hole body of our
statutes was revised and codified, all three of
these acts, those of 1843, 1855, and 1858, Were ex
pressly repealed, their substtance being incorporated
in the new text. The duty of making this codifi
cation was entrusted iu the first place to Com
missioners appointed by Gov. Gardner, (the same
who vetoed the personal liberty act of 1855,) and
their work was afterwards examined by a large
joint committee, composed of leading members of
the two House of the Legislature. It happened
somewhat singularly that, although the Republi
cans were the dominant party, politically, in both
Houses, by far the ablest lawyers in each House
were Democrats of the slraitest sect, to-wit: Hon.
Caleb Cushing in the House of Representatives,
aud Hon. Benjamin F. Butlvr. i laid Hreckjftfajbffi
these gentlemen were members of the committee
to which we have alluded ; but neither iu com
mittee, nor afterwards in the Senate or House,
did either of them, or any other member, propose
to omit from that revision any portion of the per
sonal liberty acts, or suggest that they were un
constitutional. They remain, therefore, substan
tially as before, now comprised in chapter 144 of
the General Statutes. Any Southern Governor
who docs not wish to copy the mistaken refer
ences of the late Executive message of Goorgia
will find the new volume of ‘General Statutes,
Massachusetts, 1860,’ in the library of his State;
and any one else who desires to make an exact
reference may purchase a copy of the volume,
for no higher price than a dollar and forty cents,
of Messrs. VY r right & Rotter, State printers, cor
ner of Spring lane, and Devonshire street, Bos
ton.”
CONNECTICUT.
The State of Connecticut provides that every
person who shall falsely and maliciously declare,
represent, or pretend that any free person entitled
to freedom is a slave, or owes service or labor to
any person or persons, with intent to procure or
to aid or assist in procuring the forcible removal
of such free person from this Stute as a slave,
shall be fined £5,000 and be imprisoned five years
iu the Connecticut State prison ; requires two
witnesses to prove that any person is a slave or
owes labor ; denounces a penalty of $5,000 against
any person seizing or causing’ to be seized any
free person with iutent to reduce him to slavery ;
depositions not to be admitted as evidence ; wit
nesses testifying falsely liable to $5,000 fine and
five yeurs imprisonment.
RRODB ISLAND.
This State by her legislation forbids the carry
ing away of any person by force out of the State ;
forbids any judge, justice, magistrate, or court,
from officially aiding in the arrest of a fugitive
slave under the fugitive slave law of 1793 or 1850;
forbids any sheriff’ or other officer from arresting
or detaining any person claimed as a fugitive
slave ; provides a penalty of SSOO, or imprison
ment not exceeding six months, for violating the
act; denies the use of her jails to the United Statoa
for the detention of fugitive slaves.
* NEW YORK.
The State of New York has passed no laws hav
ing relation to the United States fugitive slave act
of 1850. Though pressed frequently upon the
Legislature, they have always failed of adoption.
The old and obsolete act of 1840, entitled “An act
to extend the right of trial by jury,” extends the
trial by jury to the cases of persons arrested as
fugitive slaves; but in the fourth edition of the
laws f the State, as prepared and published bv
Lun. Hiram Douio, at present Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals, may be found appended to the
chapter containing this law tho following note :
“An Act to Extend the Right of Trial by Jury,
passed May tith, 1840.—The decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States, iu Prigg vs. the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 18 Peters’ R.
68l), establishes the doctrine that all St te laws
calculated to interfere with the third subdivision
of section 2, article 4, of the Constitution of the
United States are unconstitutional. Since that
decision the fugitive slave law (Laws of Congress,
1850, chap. 80) has been passed, containing pro
visions repugnant to the whole of this act. It is
therefore of no force; but, as it has never been
repealed, it is here inserted.”
NEW JERSEY.’
The State of New Jersey has no statutes bear
ing on this subject save those which enjoin on her
State officers the duty of aiding in the recovery
of fugitive slaves. Persons temporarily residing
in the State are also permitted to bring with them
and retain thefr domestic slaves.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The State of Pennsylvania has not formally and
specially legislated at all against the United States
fugitive slave law of 1850, though there was an
old statute of 1847 which prohibited any judge,
justice of the peace, or alderman from taking cog
nizance of the case of any fugitive from Tabor,
“under a certain act of Congress passed on the
12th of February, 1703.” During the last session
of her Legislature, the Commissioners appointed
to revise and amend the penal laws of Pennsylva
nia (John C. Knox, Edward King and David Web
ster) made a report to the Legislature that they
had completed their labors, and the result was
presented in the shape of a bill entitled “An act
to consolidate, revise and amend the Penal Laws
of the Commonwealth.” That report, on the 31st
day of March, 1860, was enacted into a law, and
by’ the ninety-fifth sectiou it is enacted as fol
lows :
“No Judge of any of the Courts of this Com
monwealth, nor any Alderman or Justice of the
Peace of said Commouwealth, shall have jurisdic
tion or take cognizance of the case of any fugitive
from labor from an}’ of the United States or Ter
ritories under any act of Congress, nor shall any
such Judge, Alderman, or Justice of the Peace of
this Commonwealth issue or grant any certificate
or warrant of removal of any such fugitive from
labor, under any act of Congress; and if any Al
derman or Justice of the Peace of this Common
wealth shall take cognizance or jurisdiction of the
case of any such fugitive, or shall grant or issue
any certificate or warrant of removal, as aforesaid,
then, and in either case, he shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor iu office, and shall, on convic
tiod thereof, be sentenced to pay, at the discre
tion of the Court, any sum not exceeding one
thousand dollars, the one-half to the party prose
cuting for the same, and the other half to the use
of this Cotnmonweftlth.”
The theory of this law, it will be seen, is found
ed strictly on the decision ol the Supreme Court
of the United States in ‘the Prigg case, and does
not interfere with the functions of the Commis
sionei appointed under the United States law.
MICHIGAN.
The law of this State requires State’s attorneys
to act as counsel for fugitive slaves; secures to
persons arrested as fugitive slaves the benefits
of the writ of habeas corpus, and trial by jury;
denies use of State jails for detention of alleged
fugitives; requires that identity of fugitive slaves
shall be proved by two credible witnesses, or by
legal evidence equivalent thereto, and provides a
fine of not less than five hundred nor more than
one thousand dollars, and imprisonment in State
prison for five years, for forcibly seizing, or caus
ing to be seized, any free person, with intent to
have such person held in slavery.

fits of the writ of habeas corpus; provides for
appeal to be taken to next stated term of the

Messrs. S. W. Fowle& Cos. :
Gentlemen: BoUevlng in the great virtue of your renowned
Balsam of Wild Cherry, I cheerfully comply with the request
of your travelling agent in adding my testimony to the many
which you have already received. I have been acquainted
with this medicine for many years, and hkvc always heaid it
spoken ofin the highest te ins. A brolber-ln-law, who at one
time was much reduced with a seven- and obstinate cough, was
restored by it, after othrr 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 best lung medicine within iny knowledge.
Yours, respectfully, E. Maussknet.

Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester

attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the
best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi
ous months ; I became os yellow os saffron, and reduced to
skin and bone. Medicine and pbyalciiina were abandoned in
despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of
blx of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to aiouse
all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the
worst—their purgative efiect was ulfferent from anything I bad
ever used or heard of. At leugth this effect ceased, and Is mu
ed lighter and breathed freer. Taut evening 1 was Indeed < n

REMOVAL.
THE undersigned, Agent for the above Fertiliser, in conse
quence of its marked success the past season, and the great
ly Increased demand arising therefrom, has made arrangement*
with the manufacturer for a large and full supply ; and re
quiring greater facilities for storage and other accommodation,
has taken the four story Warehouse as below, where he will be
able to supply auy quantity required, u-lth promptness. He
may be allowed to express his satisfaction in view a* the lact
that of the numerous purchases made of him by planters, gene
rally for the purpose of making comparatyct tests with other
fertilisers, not one case has erme to his knowledge where our
Fertiliser has not shown a decided superiority. Planters who
have used Mapes’ Phosphate, now make it their sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as fifty tons, for use
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 hygvoinetric power, or capacity, to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a large extent
