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.

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. G. W. TOWNS. By the Governor. J M. Patton, Sec'r Ex. Dept. Tribute of Respect. 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. Lt. W. C. HODGES, Sgt. JOHN MAY. A true copy from the minutes. T. W.

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.

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 other but the genuine, original Balsam of Wild Cherry, signed I.

Columbus, (Ga.,) Sept. 19, 1859. 33 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.

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. Prepared by J. C. AYER, Chemist, Lowell, Mass.
