curing to us “the enjoyment of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.”
Resolved, That our warfare is urged against
a sectional abolition crusade against our proper
tv.our liberty and our equality as a State of the
Union: and for the present and for the purpose
of securing the co-operation of all our fellow
citizens in a prompt, vigorous and efficient
movement in this political, legal and constitu
tional warfare, we declare our intention and ef
fort to be, to make one more united struggle
under the constitution and in the Union , to pro
tect and perpetuate our rights.
Resolved, That to this end and for this pur
pose we invite all of the citizens of Harris coun
ty to unite together in forming a Southern
Rights Association, the object of which shall be
to maintain and perpetuate our rights and our
equality in the Union; and should we at length
fail in “that, then to leave it to time andcircum

Upon the mode and measure ot redress.
Col. Ingram made a short and appropriate
speech in support of the resolutions, after which
ha suggested that a committee of five be appoint
ed to take into consideration the action of the
last Grand Jury- Messrs. George A. B. Dozier,
Win. T. Crawford, Osborn Crook, Fleming B.
Nance and A. G. Gordon, were appointed that
committee, who reported as follows :
raSSE.NTMR.VrS BY THE PETIT JURY OF HARRIS COUNTY.
The advocates of Southern rights, having as
sembled for the purpose of taking into consider
ation the evils under which the country is labor
ing, and suggesting to the consideration of their
fellow citizens such measures as they deem best
calculated to repair the same, would respectful
ly suggest, that an enlightened public opinion is
the only channel through which they can with
confidence hope to stay the aggressions of an
unprincipled majority in Congress, which ag
gresions, unless checked, must eventually sub
vert the foundations of our social system, or
force us to dissolve a connection with our North
ern brethren ; an alternative that we desire to
avoid, if our rights can be secured without a
severance thereof.
We congratulate ourselves upon the evi
dences of general prosperity manifested through
out the country, as they conclusively show, that
the elaments ot success are inherent in the South,
and are not dependent upon the aid of the gen
eral government.
In the midst of this prosperity we cannot
cease to regret the constant exhibition on the
part of some ol our fellow citizens, penetrating
even to the halls of justice and extending
throughout the Northern States, of extreme po
litical violence, looking as they do to the abolition
of slavery or forcing upon the South secession
as a remedy.
This body is constrained to believe that no ex
isting wrong in our social organization justifies
the North to force us to the disagreeable alterna
tive as our only palladium of safety—and in this
connection this body feels imperiously called up
on to deprecate in the most unqualified terms
the publication in the Washington Union, .\a
tional Intelligencer, Columbus Enquirer, Athens
Banner and other Southern newspapers of a
certain description of documents the circulation
and publication of which would doubtless be
made penal, capitally so by our code, but that
the freedom of the press must he guaranteed,
even at the risk ol’ its occasional licentious
abuse.
While we can acquit those in our community
and State engaged in this fearful work of the
criminal intent calculated to be effected by such
publication*, the evil is not less to be deplored,
as they cannot he unmindful of the avowed de
termination of a large portion of the North to
destroy institutions necessary to our existence,
and we are constrained to believe that these per
sons in a blind partizan zeal, are careless of the
vital wrongs to which their course may lead.
Having nothing to conceal, lest we may be
obscure or misunderstood, we allude to such
publications a r, announce the triumph of the ab
olitionists and free-soilers in the passage of the
following bills:
The admission of California—bills for organ
izing the territories of Utah and New Mexico—
the dismemberment of Texas—the abolition of
the slave trade, and other kindred measures, as
GLORIOUS NEWS, and counsel their fellow
citizens to tame and abject submission to meas
ures which brand the South with degradation,
insult and injury—as their effect is to destroy the
spirit of liberty which should animate the hearts
of a free people; and must inevitably tend to
make the white men of the South a race of
slaves, and the States which they inhabit mere
dependencies of an irresponsible consolidated
government. We appeal to Southern paper*
and Southern speakers to abstain from such pub
lications or comment thereon, as they are not
only dishonorable to themselves, but must be
productive of • vil and only evil.
We have one sther point to mention before
dismissing this subject. We decidedly approve
of the call made by the last Legislature for a con
vention of the people of this State upon the ad
mission of California, for we consider it but an
aggravation of the Wilinot Proviso. We ap
prove of the proceedings of the Nashville Con
vention, and trust that the people of Georgia
without regard to party will show by their en
dorsement of the State Convention and the ac
tion of the same, that they know their rights and
•will maintain them “at ali hazards and to the last
extremity.”
We have not examined the books of the In
ferior and Superior Courts, nor the condition of
the Court House and Jail, ncr can we say any
thing in regard to the misdemeanors and crimes
which may or may not have been committed in
this county; the same being among the duties
of the Grand Jury, and, being in favor of
leaving to every department of the government
their delegated duties, we will not interfere with
their functions, having merely assembled to ex
press our political views—a prerogative retained
by the people.
After which, R. J. Moses, Esq., of Columbus.
Ga., addressed the meeting at considerable
length, in an able and eloquent manner: setting
forth the aggression* yf the North, and calling
upon Southern men to resist to the last extremi
ty. This speech produced great effect and re
ceived the applause of ail present.
The resolutions were then voted upon, sepa
rately, and were unanimously sustained.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at Whit
taker's Court Ground, in this county, on Thurs
day, the 10th of October next: at which time
there will be a free barbecue, and all are invited
to attend* and especially the ladie*.

PROCLAMATION,
BY .10IIS ANTHONY QUITMAN,
fioTeruor of the State of Mississippi.
Whereas, The people of Mississippi have
repeatedly, in public meetings, in popular con
ventions, and by legislative resolves, claimed
and asserted their equality of right with the other
States of this Union, in and to the free use and j
enjoyment of the territory belonging in common i
to these United States; and have frequently and
publicly declared their fixed determination, at
ail hazards, to maintain these rights, so essential
to their freedom and equality.
And, whereas , By recent acts of Congress, the
people of Mississippi, in common with the citi
zens of all the slaveholding States, have been
virtually excluded from their just rights, in the
greater portion, if not all, ot the vast and rich
territories acquired from Mexico in the late war;
and thus, by unjust and insulting-discriminations,
the advantages and benefits ol the Federal
Union,hive been denied to them.
Anil, whereas, The abolition, of Congress, ot
the slave trade m the District of Columbia, and
other acts of the federal government, done and
threatened, leave no reasonable hope that the
aggressions upon the rights of the people of the
slaveholding States will cease, until, by direct or
indirect means, their domestic institutions are
overthrown:
Now, therefore, That the proper authori
ties of the State may be enabled to take into
consideration the alarming state of our public
affairs, and, if possible, avert the evils which im
pend over us: that the State may be placed m
an attitude to assert her sovereignty, and that
the means may be provided to meet any and
every emergency which may happen :
I, John A. Quitman, Governor of the State
of Mississippi, exercising the powers in me vest
ed by the constitution, do hereby convene the
legislature of this .State, and do appoint Monday,
the Eighteenth Day of November next, for
the meeting of both Houses of the Legislature,
at the Capitol, in Jackson, the seat of govern-
I meat of this State.
In testimony whereof, T have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of the
State to be affixed, at the city of Jackson,
the 26th of September, A. D. 1850, and of
the sovereignty of Mississippi, the thirty
fourth.
By the Governor:
Jo. Bell, Sec’y of State.
J. A. QUITMAN.
The Meeting at Kingston.
The following are the resolution* which were
adopted unanimously at tin* Ma Meeting, held
at Kingston, on the 26th ult.:
Resolved, That the people of Georgia are, in
the opinion of this meeting, pledged to some
effective mode of resistance to the encroach
ments of the North upon their just and consti
tutional rights.
Resolved, That the State is not committed to
any particular mode or measure of redress, and
that in the opinion of this meeting, it is the ob
ject of the Convention, to he convened on the
10th of December next, to deliberate upon, and
recommend to the people of Georgia so?ne such
mode and measures of redress, as they may be
lieve adequate “to .secure and perpetuate to them
and their posterity, their rights and liberties.
Resolved, That any mod*, and measure of re
dress which the Convention may recommend
should lie submitted to the people themselves
for their ratification or rejection.
Resolved. That the true*issue to be determin
ed by the people in the election of Delegates to
the Convention is— uneondiliunal submission or
some manly and effective mode of resistance.
Resolved, That we are irreconcilably opposed
to submission.
Excitement at the North against the Slave
Bill.
We find the following under the Telegraphic
head of the Baltimore Sun :
Worc inter. Mas?., Oct. I.—There is a grea*
excitement here this morning, growing out
the belief—indeed of the fact—that there are
several persons in the town known to be on the
look out for fugitive slaves. It is well known
that there are many negroes here who have run
away from their masters. The colored folks
are much excited and very uneasy. They talk
of emigrating to Canada.
String field, Mass., October L—lntense ex
citement is prevailing Imre in consequence of
the supposed presence of several persons in
search of fugitive slaves. The negroes an* arm
ing themselves for defence. The Town Hall is
now crowded with a dense mass of excited per
sons, who express their determination not to al
low a single slave to be taken from among them,
law or no law. Serious consequences are ap
prehended should any attempt be made to cap
ture and take off’ the fugitives. It is said that at
least live hundred fugitives reside in this town.
String field, Mass., Oct. 2. — The whites and
free blacks, citizens and fugitive slaves, held a
meeting last night, which was largely attended.
The fugitives were recommended to arm them
selves and resist all attempts at arresting them.
Inflammatory speeches were made against the
new fugitive slave law. It was denounced as a
great evil.

of the year, caused by colds, coughs and chills, brought
on by frequent atui sudden changes of the weather.
Wc know of several severe eases wiiieh have been radi

sinee a friend of ours was suffering under what was ;
thought to he continued consumption—a severe, cough, ;
loss of appetite, night sweats, Ac. By the use of the
Balsam, no dispelled these alarming encroachment*, and !
is now in the enjoyment of comparative good health. —

Lost Voice Restored.
New Bedford, Aug. 10, 1543.
Mr. S. W. Fowle: —Having seen many certificates
published in relation to Dr. Wistars Balsam of Wild
j Cherry, I take this opportunity of offering a word In
‘its tavor, which you are also at liberty to publish. A
few months since my wife’s lungs became so much
affected hv a sudden cold, that she lost her voice, and
; suffered severely from pains in the breast. Her situation
caused her friends much alarm. Having heard your
i Balsam strongly recommended by those who had used
: it, I purchased a bottle of your agent in this place. She
i took it, according to directions, and it produced a won
j derful effect. Before using one bottle she had eom
| nlctcly recovered her voice, the pains subsided, and her
health was soon fully re-tored. Vours truly.

Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of Columbian Lodge No. 7, of Fre
and Accepted Masons, held in Columbus, on the 14th
inst., the following preamble and resolutions which had
been previously offered by Brother Alex. C. Morton,
wore unanimoualy adopted, and placed upon the min
utes :
Brothers of the Mystic Tie ! A link in our great
chain has been severed ; our friend and brother, Nelson
McLestor, is no more! He died at Savannah, Ga., on
the 10th ultimo, at 3o’elock, A. M.,at which place lie
was arrested by the great He-trover. The debt of na
ture is paid ! How forcibly are we reminded by this af
tlicting dispensation, that “in themid-t of life, we arc in
death,” and, that we arc all hurrying on our pathway
to the tomb. The march of death is ever onward ;
alike in palace as in hovel, his dreaded form is seen, and
his fierce dart felt. Alan, feeble man, erects barriers in
vain again* t his progress, nor can honor or reputation,
or station, or wealth, stay his march or resist his man
dates.
There is loft to us but the melancholy eonsalation of
cherishing the memory of those who have fallen.
Therefore Resolved, That this Lodge has learned
with profound sorrow the death of Brother Nelson Mc-
Lester, who expired after a short illness, at Savannah,
on the 10th ult.
Resolved, That by the decease of our lamented broth
er, thi* Lodge ha* been deprived of a worthy and faith
ful member, and soeioty of an upright and iioneat eiti
zen.
Resolved, That a* a token of respect for hi* memo
ry, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be for
warded to the near relatives of the deceased, and pub
lished in the city papers.

GREAT COUGH REMEDY!
AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
a
FOR Till CUM OF
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop
ing-Coughs, Croup, Asthma and Consumption.
This truly valuable remedy for all diseases of tke
lungs and throat, has become the chief reliance of the
afflicted as it is tha most certain euro 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 forcom
mon coughs and colds. Read below the opinion of
men who are known to the world, and the world respect
their opinions.
E rom Professor Hitchcock.
James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your “Cherry
Pectoral” in m_v own case of deep seated Bronchitis,
and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is
atjjg&nirable compound for the relief of laryngiaJ and
Brwybfol difficulties. If my opinion as to it* superior
ohgrpeler.can be of any service you are at liberty to use
it ag^yotfthink proper.
EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L, L. D.,
President of Amherst College.
From the ‘■‘■London Lancet.”
“Ayf.r’s Cherry Pectoral” is one of the most val
uable preparations that has fallen under our notice. After
a careful examination, wc do not hesitate to say we have
a large appreciation of its merits and the fullest confi
dence in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.”
Dr. Brewster, of Windham co., Conn., sends us the
following testimony :
Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate
from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly respectable lady
of this village, wife of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff,
Windham co., Conn. The cure in her ease was very
prompt, and has attracted general attention.
W. A. BREWSTER, M. D.
Wist Kii.hxgly, 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 medicines in
vain, and was cured by the use of “Ayf.r’s Cherry
Pectoral.”, CATHARINE K. CADY.
Direct Evidence.
Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir: Feeling under obli
gations to you for the restoration of my health, I send von
a report of ray ease, which you are at liberty to publish
for the. benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad cold,
accompanied by a severe 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 use 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 ceased, and all by the use of
your valuable medicine. E. S. STONE. A. M.,
Principal Mt. Hope Seminary.
From Dr. Bryant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee
Falls, Mass:
Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear 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 I ever seen a
medicine which cured so many cases of cough and lung
complaints. Our physicians are using it extensively in
their practice, and with the happiest effects.
Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT.

Dr. Willcox’s Sarsaparilla,
IS decidedly the best Medicinal Extract for the cure
ol” all diseases arising from an impure stato of the
blood, and other fluids, that has ever been brought
before the public. The following ar a f®w of the com
plaints in which the power of this sxtraordinary Com
pound has been displayed, viz:
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Peter Sores, Piles, Scald
Head, Pimples on the Face and Body, Liter Com
plaint, Rheumatism, Consumption, Erysipelas,
Cancers, Ulcers, and all Mercurial Diseases.
It is also a certain cure lor
Indigestion or Dyspepsia and General Debility,
and is especially valuable for
Female Complaints.
The origin of all diseaw, it will undoubtedly b® ad
mitted, arises from impurities of the blood and fluids
generally, or the action of morbid causes upon both flu
ids and solids—and whatever remedy will restore the
physical functions to a healthy state, and carry off the
corrupt matter which impregnates the blood and other
fluids, must necessarily be of great interest to mankind.
Many of the modicincs now in use are wanting in
their sanitary effects, in consequei.ee of the absence of
some essential article, or an injudicious combination of
the ingredients used.
Against this medicine no such charge exists. While it
does all that other Extracts of Sarsaparilla arc said to
perform, it accomplishes what they leave undone.
Penetrating and Purifying the Blood
ia only a part of its office ;
The Secretions of the Fluids Generally ars Fro
moted by it,
and the internal muscular action relieved from that slug
gishness, which frequently lays the foundation of that
distressing complaint, generally known under the name of
Indigestion.
Its effect on the solids is such as to give to each part of j
the muscular system that wholesome relaxation by ;
which the blood is enabled to extend its circulation free
ly, 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, Spellings, Glandular and Cu
taneous affections,
may be attracted to the inactivity of the organs where
affections occur. As the fungus makes its appear
ance in decaying vegetable matter, so do Tumors pre
sent themselves on the human frame whenever the ani
mation oi its parts is partially suspended. This medi
cine. then, by its singular and peculiar action on tho
solids, is eminently calculated to afford relief when,
without it, the scalpel would hasten the patent to a pre
mature grave.
This Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
In Chronic Constipation,
Quietlv insinuates itself through, and purifies the fluids,
relaxes the solids, and without draining the 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 derangement 3 , 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 18 SCARCELY
A CHRONIC AILMENT which may not be greatly
relieved, and in most eases, entirely cured, by a judicious
and well-timed use of thi-HX'inedy.
Nervous Diseases
„ and
Female 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 not
the design of 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 use.
