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 ftlances and the sovereign people to determine 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*.

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. fFrom the Charleston Mercury.] Telegraphic. Baltimore, Oct. 5, 8 P. If. Dreadful Marine Disaster, and loss of Life. The steamship Southerner, Capt.

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. A true extract from the minutes. F. J. ABBOTT, Sec’rr pro tern.

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.

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

Columbus, Ga., .Sept. 19, 1350. 38 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. gngP For sale only by Robert Carter.
