ttuiig else, satisfied us that the South have noth
ing to hope from the forbearance of the North,
whenever they have the constitutional power to
abolish slavery. No one will deny that two
thirds can amend the Constitution, and that those
who have already violated and set at nought the
spirit of that instrument, will not hesitate to
change its letter whenever they have the pow
er.
If, as we have stated our belief, the seduc
tions of the General Government can command
four votes in the Senate, and a proportional vote
in the lower House, from the Southern repre
sentation, it only requires six more non-slave
holding States to give them a two-thirds ma
jority. Every one can speculate as to what the
result of such a state of affairs will be: we can
only set forth our views, and say to those who
think they can shift the evil hour off on to pos
terity, that they are most egregiously mistaken.
If this Union continues, the problem as to the
continuance of slavery can be forced to a solu
tion in six years, and will lie t.irced in twelve
years. The Union and slavery cannot long con
tinue to exist together.
Our Territories, or rather the Territories of
the North, including that conquered from Mexi
co and rest or bribed from Texas, and held pri
or to the .Mexican war, are very nearly equal in
area to the populated portion of the United
‘States, and are sufficient to make twenty-five
■States over the medium size ; and it is not gen
erally known or noticed that our front on the
Pacific OCK9II is greater than that on the Atlan
tic, leaving out the Peninsula of Florida. From
the mouth of the Colorado, at the head of the
Gulf of California, nt the thirty-second degree of
■north latitude, to the British line, at the forty
ninth degree, is seventeen degrees of latitude;
Whilst from the thirtieth degree in Florida to the
forty-fifth degree, our limit on tin: Atlantic, ison-
Iv fifteen degrees of latitude. There are twelve
States fronting on the Atlantic.
Hardly a beginning has been made in thw set
tlement of these vast regions, and yet six States
will be admitted therefrom in two or three years.
Miuesota, Nebraska, Utah, or Deseret, New Mex
ico, California and Oregon are all nearly ready
to demand admittance into the Union.
It should be borne in mind, that according to
the precedent set, by the admission of California
and the attempt in New Mexico, it requires ve
ry few inhabitants to make a State.
Nothing in the past history of the world equals
what will he the rapidity with which these terri
tories will be settled up.
Those amongst us, over fifty years of age,
who recollect when ail the country west of the
Allegh anies was a wilderness, when Cincinnati,
Louisville and St. Louis were villages, are as
tonished when they think of the immense
change which has taken place in so short a time:
but bear in mind, we were then increasing from
a population of only five or six millions,
and now we have twenty-five millions, and for
eign emigration is much larger now than it ever
was before.
There is a constant stream of foreign emigra
tion by way of the Northern Lakes to the Upper
Mississippi and Missouri, and imagination can
hardly picture the masses who are moving and
rer.dy to move from the Northern and Southern
State* to California and Oregon; and we may
also calculate that there will be a large foreign
emigration to the Pacific seaboard.
Our space is limited, and we must cut short
these calculations; suffice it to say that it is a
small estimate that half a million of emigrants
will annually go into the Territories per year for
the next six years. As new routes and loca
tions are discovered, this population will gradu
ally spread over the whole area.
In the first place, six large States will be form
ed, and then, as the geography and natural di
visions of the country are ascertained, the pro
cess of division will commence.
California has a front on the Pacific equal to
six or seven of our Atlantic States, and already
has it been said in her Convention that she may
be divided into six States.
It is nearly the same with Oregon.
A mere majority of Congress may divide a
State with its consent, and many reasons will
concur to make the processeasy. The conve
nience of the people will make divisions neces
sary. The Pacific States will seek political
weight and power, and a larger vote in the Sen
ate ; and onr calculating Northern brethren will
see, in the admission of new non-slaveholding
States, a means of relieving their tender con
sciences from responsibility for the sin of slave
ry.
” We thing it more than probable that there
will be twelve new States added to the confedera
cy in six years.
’ It is proposed in Michigan to divide that
State, and the location of her territory would
make it advisable to do so ; and some have sug
gested that Long Island might be detached from
New York, and made a State.
We must close, with the regret that we have
not limits to pursue the subject further. We
think that all will admit that there is strong
ground for the position we have assumed. But
What difference does a few years make. The
territory is there ; it will be populated; it is capa
ble of making territory for non-slaveholding
States, and when but a third of that number
are formed, there will be a two-thirds majority
in Congress hostile to slavery.
Now, we ask those who charge Southern men
with ultraism, to rellect on these things; and
we think that they will agree with us, that all’
that is necessary to make the prospects of the
Southern Slates gloomy in the extreme, is tor
them to sink beneath contempt by shrinking
from the posiiion they have assumed.
The Fugitive Slave Kill.
Passed the House by a vote of 1051 to 75.
The total number of members is ‘233. So this
hill did not receive the vote of a majority—
There were forty-nine members absent.
Now this was one of a series of measures
railed a great Compromise. It was the only
one that had any effect in securing a Consti
tutional right of the South. Vet it receives a
minority only of votes in the present House,
and is evaded by more than one-third of the
Northern members, either because they were
opposed to it, or were afraid their constituents
were.
How long will it stand ?
The Richmond Times , a whig paper, gives
the following analysis of the vote:
Northern xole on the Fugitive Sieve Bill.
The Fugitive Slave Bill was passed by the
House of Representatives by yeas 109, nays 75
—majority for the bill, 34. AH the Southern
members, voted in the affirmative with thirty
Northern members, who, we regret to see, were
divided as follows:

GEORGIA.
GEORGE W. TOWNS,
Governor of said State.
To the Electors thereof — Greeting.
Having been officially informed, that the Con
gress of the United States has admitted Califor
nia into the Union of the States of the Confede
racy, upon equal terms with the original States,
a duty devolves upon mo, in the performance of
which, I shall trespass upon the public but
briefly.
An unfeigned deference for public opinion,
and the profound regard I entertain for the wis
dom. firmness and patriotism of my fellow citi
zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper
of this character, in repeating my known and un
changed opinions as to the duty of the South in
repelling free soil encroachment, and arresting,
by all proper means, usurpation by Congress.
Whatever is compatible with the. honor and i
obligations of the people of this Slate to the 1
country, its laws, and its institutions, I doubt not,
will reci ive their warm support.
In an hour of danger—when your institutions
are in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out
raged, yout social organization derided, your
honor deeply wounded and the Federal Constitu
tion violated by a series of aggressive measures,
all tending to the consummation of one object—
the abolition of slavery—when your equal right
to occupy and enjoy the common territory of all,
has been denied you, in the solemn form of law,
under pretences the most shallow, it well becomes
you to assemble, to deliberate, and counsel to
gether for your mutual preservation and safety.
Whatever course the extraordinary events by
which we nr” encompassed, will demand or
justify, must be left, as it should be, to the pat
riotism, firmness and prudence of the people
themselves. Upon them devolves the duty of
redressing present wrongs, and providing other
safeguards for future security. Neither the one
nor the other of which, however, will ever be
effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic
efforts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling
are restored, and confidence and concerto!'ac
tion produced among the people of the South.
In view, therefore, of the atrocious free-soil
sentiment and policy, not merely of the non
slaveholding States, but of the government—of
the imminent peril to which the institution of
slavery is reduced by the act of Congress ad
mitting the State of California into the’Union,
with a Constitution containing the principle of the
Wilmot Proviso, in defiance of our warning
and earnest remonstrance —in view of the de
plorable fact that some diversity of opinion ex
ists in some of the Southern States as to the
proper mode of redressing the wrongs, and
averting the dangers which all must see and
tcel, let me, fellow citizens, earnestly entreat you
to cultivate for each other a deep and abiding
sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence,
and approach the task, from which there is no
escape, of deciding upon your duty to Georgia
and the country, with a firm step, but not with
out calm, deliberate and patient investigation,
consulting neither fears or dangers on the one
hand, nor permitting yourselves, from exasper
ated feelings of wrong on the other, to Ire rashly
urged to extreme measures, which have not re
ceived the full sanction of your judgment.—
Then I shall not despair of seeing the whole
State, as one man, proposing nothing beyond
what the emergency may demand, or failing to
perform whatever patriotism, honor and right,
may require at your hands.
The General’Assembly of this State, by an
act approved Bth February, 1850, having re
quired me, upon the happening of certain events,
one of which is the admission of California as
a State into the Union, to issue a proclamation,
ordering an election to be held in each and eve
ry county tor delegates to a convention of the
people of this State, to take into consideration
such measures as comport with the extraordin-
ary posture of our relations to our co-States,
and to decide upon what steps are necessary
and proper to be taken compatible with honor
and constitutional obligations, as well as more
effectually to secure our right of property in
slaves, and to arrest all aggressions by one sec
tion ot the Union, upon the free enjoyment of
the constitutional rights of the other, and lastly
to preserve inviolate the equality of the State’s
of the Union, as guaranteed under the Constitu
tion : Therefore, be it known, that I, George \V.
Towns, Governor of the State of Georgia, by the
authority anil mandate of the law, do issue’ this
my proclamation, ordering and directing that the
qualified voters for the most numerous branch
of the General Assembly, do meet at the several
places of holding elections, as fixed by Jlaw, in
the several counties of this State, within the
hours fixed for voting, on Monday the twenty
fifth day of November next: and then and there,
by ballot, elect two delegates in each of the coun
ties now entitled to one representative in the
General Assembly, and four delegates in such
counties as are entitled to representatives.
Tile managers of said election are required
to testify and forward to this Department the re
turns ot said election in the manner prescribed
by law fir the election of Representatives in the
General Assembly, and it is further ordered,
that the Delegates, who may be elected by a ma
jority of the legal voters of their respective
counties, do convene at the Capitol of said State
on Tuesday the tenth day of December next.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
Executive Department, at the Capitol, in
Mi Hedge ville, this 23d day of September,
in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred
and fifty.

Company Room, Sept. 11, 1850.
The announcement of the death of private John M.
Brooks, has called us together, to offer the soldiers’ last
tribute to the memory and worth of a long tried and
faithful companion. It is not necessary that we dwell
over his virtues as a citizen and soldier. These are em
balmed in the memory of tho.-e who have so often
shared with him the duties which he ever faithfully per
formed while living. Tn view of his sudden demise—
Resolved, That we will attend the funeral of our late
brother in a body, and wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for thirty days.
Besotted, That we sincerely mingle our tears of re
gret with those whose more intimate relationship has
been rudely broken by the death of our late companion.
Itrsolved. That a copy of these proceedings he pre
sented to the family of the deceased, and published in
the city papers.

The melancholy intelligence has been communicated
to us, of the death of Secretary David .M. Clarke, long
an honored and useful member of this body. He died
this morning at 3 o’clock. The deceased had endeared
himself to all by his urbanity and kind deportment—still
more by his worth as a citizen. In the prime of life he
has teen cut down by “ the fell destroyer.” whose arm
spares not even the young, the worthy or the brave:
Therefore, Ilesolred, That by the death of Secretary
Clarke, this company has been deprived of a respected
aud efficient member, and society of an upright citizen.
Resolved, That we condole with the afflicted rela
tives of the deceased, upon their sudden bereavement,
and that the secretary pro tcm. famish them with a
copv of those resolutions.
Resulted, That we attend the funeral of our deceased
friend, in a body, this afternoon, at 4 o’clock : and will
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resulted, That these proceedings be entered upon the
; minutes, and published in the citv papers.

Influcitzh and Consumption.
It is, indeed, a melancholy truth, that thousands fall
victims to consumption every year from no other came
than neglected colds ; yet, we find hundreds, nay thou
sands, who treat such complaints with the greatest in
difference, and let them run on for weeks, and even
months, without thinking of the danger. At first, you
have what you consider a slight cough or cold; you
allow business, pleasure or carelessness to prevent you
from giving it any attention ; it then settles upon your
breast, you become hoarse, have pains in the side or
chest, expectorate large quantities of matter, perhaps
mixed with blood ; a difficulty of breathing ensues, and
then you find your own foolish neglect has brought on
this complaint, lt, then, you value your lifts or health,
be warned in time, and don't triiie with your cold, or
trust to any quack nostrum to cure you ; but immediate
ly procure a bottle or two of that famous remedy, Dr.
Hi STAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
which is well known to ho the most speedy euro ever
known, as thousands will testify, whose lives have been
saved by it.
For influenza it is the very best medicine in the world.
Be not deceived, remember that spurious imitations,
and other preparations of Wild Cherry abound through
out the land, but it is Dr. Wistar's that has performed
so many thousand wonderful cures, therefore buy no

Dr. Willcox’s Sarsaparilla,
TS decidedly tho best Medicinal Extract for the sure
of all diseases arising from an impure state of the
blood, and other fluids, that has ever been brought
before the public. The following are a few of the com
plaints in which tho power of this extraordinary Com
pound has been displayed, viz:
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Piles, Scald
Head, Pimples on the Face and Body, Liver Com
plaint, Rheumatism, Consumption, Erysipelas,
Cancers, Ulcers, and all Mercurial Diseases.
It is also a certain euro for
Indigestion or Dyspepsia and General Debility,
and is especially valuable for
Female Complaints.
The origin of all diseases, it will undoubtedly be ad
mitted, arises from impurities of tho blood and fluids
generally, or the action of morbid causes upon both flu
ids and solids—and whatever remedy will restore tiie
physical functions to a healthy state, and carry off tho
corrupt matter which impregnates the blood and other
fluids, must necessarily be of great interest to mankind.
Many of the medicines now in use arc wanting in
their sanitary effects, in consequence of the absence of
some essential article, or all Injudicious combination of
the ingredients used.
Against this medicine no such ejiarge exists. While it
does all that other Extracts of Sarsaparilla are eaid to
perform,it accomplishes what they leave undone.
Penetrating and Purifying the Blood
is only a part of its office ;
The Secretions of the Fluids Generally are Pro
•moled by it,
and the internal muscular action relieved from that slug
gishness, which frequently lays thb foundation of that
distressing complaint, generally known under the name ot
indigestion.
Its effect on the solids is such as to give to each part of
the muscular system that wholesome relaxation by
which the blood is enabled to extend its circulation free
lv. leaving the extremities as well supplied with life as
those parts least exposed to exterior changes.
The disfigured appearance of many of the human fam
ily by
Tumors, Abscesses, Swellings, Glandular and Cu
taneous affections,
may he attracted to the inactivity of the organa where
there affections occur. As the fungus makes its appear
ance in decaying vegetable matter, so do Tumors pre
sent themselves on tne human frame whenever the ani
mation of its parts is partially suspended. This medi
cine, then, by its singular and peculiar action on the
solids, is eminently calculated to afford relief when,
without it, the, scalpel would hasten the patent to a pre
mature grave.
This CoinpoundExtraet of Sarsaparilla,
In Chronic Constipation,
Quietly insinuates itself through, and purifies the fluids,
relaxes the solids, and without draining tho sufferer of
his energies, restores a healthy and permanent vital ac
tion.
In Rheumatic Complaints,
Its virtues are incomparable. The nervous system,
which, in these derangements, is deprived of its equili
brium, yields its negative action, assumes the positive,
and supplies the blood with that'assistance in its arterial
transit which, in endeavoring to make, before caused
pain and inflammation. THERE Iri SCARCELY
A CHRONIC AILMENT which may not be greatly
relieved, and in most eases, entirely cured, by a judicious
and well-timed use of this remedy.
Nervous Diseases
and
F e male Complaints ,
The most gratifying results have been effected. In
such cases, if taken as set forth in the directions, this
remedy will be found in reality an IN VIGOR ATOR
AND, AS IT WERE, A LIFE-RESTORER.
To go through with the whole list of human ills is nqt
the design ot this circular. The principle of the medi
cinal effect in cases for which this Sarsaparilla is a cer
tain cure, is all that is intended to be shown, and all that
is necessary to be known, to ensure its universal ute.

GREAT COUGII REMEDY!
AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
FOR THE CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop
ing-Coughs, Croup, Asthma and Consumption.
‘Phis truly valuable remedy for fill diseases of the
junjfs and throat, has become the chief reliance of the
afflicted as it is the most certain cure known for the
above complaints. While it is a powerful remedial
agent in the most desperate and almost hopeless cases of
Consumption, it is also, in diminished doses, one of the
mildest and most agreeable family medicines for com
mon coughs and colds. Read below the opinion of
men who are known to tho world, and life world respect
their opinions.
From Professor Hitchcock.
James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your “Cherry
Pectoral” in my own case of deep seated Bronchitis,
and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is
ah admirable compound for the relief of laryngial and
bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior
character can be c>f any service you are at liberty to use
it as you think proper.
EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L, L D.,
President of Amhoret College.
From the “London Lancet “
H AteT.’s Cherry Pectoral” is one of the most val
uable preparations that has fallen under our notice. After
a careful examination, we do not hesitate to say we have
a large appreciation of its merits and tho fullest confi
dence in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.”
Dr. Brewster, of Windham cd., Conn.; sends us tha
fd'lowing testimony:
Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate
from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly rc-qtectable lady
of this village, wife of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff,
Windh.nn c<>., Conn. The cure in her case was very
prompt, and has attracted general attention.
W. A. BREWSTER, M. D.
West Kili.ixoly, Ct., Sept. 28, 1848.
This may certify that I was afflicted with a very severe
cough in the winter of ’47-8, which threatened to ter
minate in consumption. I had tried many medicine* in
vain, and was cured by the use of “Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral.” CATHARINE K. CADY.
Direct Evidence.
Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir: Feeling under obli
gations to vou for the restoration ot my health, I send you
a report of my ca-e, which you are at liberty to publish
for the benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad cold,
accompanied bv asevere cough, and made use of many
medicines without obtaining relief I was obliged to
give up business, frequently raised blood, and could get
no sleep at night. A friend gave me a bottle of your
Cherry Pectoral, the tne of which I immediately
commenced according to directions I have just pur
chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered. I now
sleep well, my cough has ebased, and all by the use of
your valuable medicine. E. S. STONE, A. M.,
Principal Mt. Hope Seminary.
From Dr. Brvant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee
Falls. Mass:
I>r. J. C. Ayer—D6ar Sir : Enclosed please find re
mittance for all the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I
can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives
such satisfaction as yours does ; nor have 1 overseen a
medicine which cured so many cases of cough and lung
complaints. Our physicians are usirnr it extensively in
their practice, and with the happiest effect-.
Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT.
