peace for oilr people. How important, then, is
union and concert ot action among ourselves;
ana how earnestly should we deprecate the con
duct of those among us who are seeking, by
false issues and misrepresentations of our griev
ances, to divide and distract our own people
while they deceive the North and encourage the
aggressions of our enemies.
“ The Abolition agitators' ’ says the writer,’
‘ sneer at all prospect of disunion, and tell us the [
South but blusters, and will submit to any
degradation.” This is, indeed, the language of
the Abolitionists. From whom do thev derive
their information ? We answer, from those poli
ticians and political editors among us, who, ac- ;
tuated by selfish motives, and regardless of the :
feelings and interest of the great majority of the |
Southern people, are, under the specious pretence j
of attachment to the Union, desperately and
wickedly endeavoring to make political capital,
as they always have done, out of the question
now agitating the country. Relying upon the
known attachment of the people of Georgia to I
the Union, they hope, by making the false issue !
of union or disunion, to preserve their party al
legiance to the North, and to secure a factious j
ascendancy here. They are the men who tell ;
us of the South that we have no cause of dis !
satisfaction, and that it is treasonable to mur
mur at the outrages that have been perpetrated
against us, whilst they encourage the aggres
sions of the North by giving false assurances of
our quiet submission “to any degradation.”—
They are the men who by specious arguments, ;
suppression of truth and misrepresentation of j
facts, labor to distract and divide our people,
and render us contemptible in the estimation of
our ruthless enemies. But intelligent and pa
triotic men at the North as well as at the South,
understand these tacticians, and are beginning
to have a just estimation of their candor and
sincerity. The men of the North are not igno
rant of the true spirit of the South. They know,
as the writer has so truthfully said, that
“the fire yet burns,” that “the Nashville conven- :
tion is not over,” and that if the crusade against
our institutions is to be resumed, “as the Syra
cusans propose,” then the true friends of the
Union may, indeed, “ invoke Heaven to save the
country, for it would be beyond the power of man.”
— Sav. News.
[From the N. Y. Express.]
Commerce and Disunion.
Now that the attempt has been made at Syra
cuse to re-open the Compromise Bills, to re-agi
tate the slavery issues, and to fan the flames of
abolition, it becomes us, in whose streets grass
would grow if this Union is shattered, to cry
aloud and spare not against these disunionists
in all their shapes. After a ten months’ strug
gle in Congress, in which the strength of the
Union has been tried to its utmost tension, and
during which no business whatsoever could be
done, it is now proposed, at Syracuse and olse
where, even by Whigs, we mourn to say. to
throw the new elementary firebrand of abolition
into the District of Columbia, to recognize a law
higher than .the Constitution, to demand the
Wilmot Proviso for the new territories to the
last, and to shake and shatter the fabric of this
Republic from its top to its bottom, if these
tilings cannot be done. It is vain to deny that
the concoctors of the Syracuse Seward Resolu
tion do not contemplate all that; in thanking
one Congressman especially, and him above hall
associate members, they mean that and more,
and such a meaning ail mankind gives to their
resolution.
Grass would grow in our streets we say, if
this Union was shattered: for what is this city
but a great exchange for cotton, for rice, for to
bacco, as well as for American manufactured
goods, and for the importations from Europe ;
and here to a focus comes the trade of the
North and the South, and of all Europe with
which we have intercourse, whereby our com
mission merchants, our jobbers, our importers
and exporters of all classes live and thrive.—
The Southern merchant comes here to receive
the pav for his products of cotton, &c., and
the Northern merchant makes his commission
out ot the double exchange. The whole pros
perity of this great commercial metropolis de
pends upon the peace, order, stability and per
petuity of this Union. The 500,000 human be
ings within the sound of the City Hall bell ob
tain their livelihood from the sugar and cotton
planter of the Mississippi, the Alabama, the
Chattahoochee, the Santee, &c., who exchanges
here the products of his soil for the handiwork
andheadwork of the North; and what an utter
suicide it is for such a city to pile on the aboli
tion torch, and to set on fire so glorious a work!
New York radiates from her ports steamships
for Bremen, for Liverpool, for Havre, for
Charleston, for Savannah, for New Orleans, for
Havana, tor Jamaica, for Chagres, for Panama,
for Mexico, for San Francisco, and a portion of
our city has become the great workshop for the
steam marine of all America, where our arti
ficers in iron and hewers of wood have lought
out with Britain the supremacy of the ocean,
and demonstrated to the world their victory in
the Collins and Chagres lines of steamers. In
the midst of these triumphs upon the ocean, and
when we are stretching our iron arms in all di
rections, towards the interior, it is cruelly pro
posed to topple us down from our eminence, to
throttle us at this our start, and to slaughter our
navigation trade, and commerce, in the motley
cause of Abolition!
How ltyig is it supposed that the Southern
merchant will buy goods here —how long will
the Southern planter sell his products here—ho w
long can Yankee, Ohioan, or New Yorker, find
this a mart for their products and their skill, if
against us and our State, for the sake of politi
cally sustaining the unworthy course of a Sena
tor, we embark our cause with his, to agitate for
the abolition of slavery in the District of Colum
bia, for the re-opening of all the slave issues, and
for the establishment of a law higher than the
Constitution of our common country.
Everything is conspiring to centre here in our
city two millions of human beings, and to bring
the commerce of Asia, as well as of Europe and
America to our doors; and with our growth will
grow our State, and with it the value of every
farm there is in it; but if this is to be a dis
tracted country—if civil war is to rage within
its borders—if we are to kidnap or cajole every
negro we can steal from his master—it this is to
be the great harbor of refugee slaves, and the
white laborer is to be driven off to give place to
the escaped negro—where now are long lines of
warehouses, yielding princely incomes, and
where now are miles of ships, there soon will
be the decayed wrecks of a fallen Venice, and
the fallen grandeur of an Antwerp or a Rome.
Our very existence, much more our prosperity,
depends not only upon the Union of these States,
but upon good fellowship and good feeling for
us; and he who breaks this good fellowship,
and wounds this good leeling, is an enemy and
a traitor in our midst.
We are aware that abolition agitators sneer at
all prospects of disunion, and tell us the South
but blusters, and will submit to any degradation.
These agitators, however, are, in the main, of the
Peace Society men, who will run away at the
first flash of gunpowder, after stirring up a fire
they dare not face or encounter. But it is not so,
we solemnly tell all our people. Mark the strug
gle that is now going on in Georgia, between the
Union and Disunion, and a fearful struggle it is,
though the Union is certain to triumph, because
of the past settlement in Congress of all really
dangerous slavery questions; but if they were
unsettled, or if they are re-opened, as the Syra
cusans propose, may Heaven help our country,
for it would be beyond the power of man.
Mark, too, the rising contest in Mississippi. The
Governor, (Quitman, a New York man born,)
has convoked the Legislature in extraordinary
session, especially for disunion. Nor is the Nash
ville Convention over. The fire yet burns there.
The whole State of South Carolina administers
the fuel; a State ready and ripe for revolution,
the moment it can find another State for a leader.
In the midst of so much real peril, then, it is sav
age, it is criminal, to attempt to undo what Con
gress has so happily done ; and if success could
be had in the new agitation—if we Whigs were
to tell all mankind, as the Syracuse resolution
would tell them, that Senator Seward fully and
fairly represented us—a long adieu would there
be to the prosperity, if not to the very existence
of this Union.
But let the interior of this State do what it may
—however it may sway and swing, as it has
swung at times, amid the stormy elements that
rock it—there is but one course for the Whigs,
and Democrats, too, of this great and commercial
emporium, and that is, to ciing to this Union.
We love New York, but we love the Union
more. We are New Yorkers, to be sure, but we
are Americans first. If ever our State swings
off, and runs after abolitionists and abolitionism,
the steadier, and with a more death-like gripe
will we cling to, and go down and perish with
the Union.
Old Burke to the Rescue.
At a Southern Rights Meeting, held in Waynes
boro’, on the first Tuesday in this month, the
following preambleand resolutions were adopted:
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
W hereas, the Governor of Georgia, in obe
dience to an act of the last Legislature, passed
by an almost unanimous vote, has convoked a
Convention of the people of the State, to delib
erate upon the course which it becomes them to
pursue in view of the late action of Congress,
by which a glaring aggression has been made \
upon the honor and rights of the slaveholding i
States; and whereas, both the great political i
parties in the State, in their respective conven- j
lions, have declared that they would resist the j
Proviso at every hazard, if applied to the Ter- j
ritory recently acquired from Mexico; it now |
becomes the people, in their primary assem- 1
blies, to express their opinions on the recent j
acts of Congress, and declare, whether they are ;
for a dastardly submission, or are disposed to
seek redress for the past and security for the !
future.
We, therefore, a portion of the people of;
Burke county, to the end that our delegates to i
the Convention may know the opinions and
wishes of those whom they are to represent,
have adopted the following resolutions:
1. Resolved, That the bills for establishing ter
ritorial governments in Utah and New Mexico,
inasmuch as they fail to protect the slaveholder
trorn the operation of the Mexican law exclud
ing slavery, said bv Messrs. Clay, Webster, Cass,
and others, advocates of these bills, to be still in
full force, as fully and efficiently exclude the
South from these territories, as could be done
by a literal enactment of the Proviso.
2. Resolved, That by the admission of Califor
nia into the Union, under a Constitution formed
by a small number of transient adventurers,
Congress has intervened against the South, and
given life and validity to a prohibition of slavery,
otherwise null and void, and we fully agree with
our distinguished Senator. Judge Berrien, in the
declaration, that “it is the same thing as if Con
gress had interposed the Proviso themselves ”
3. Resolved, That we agree with the people
of the North, in the opinion, that the act of Con
gress, abolishing the slave trade in the District
of Columbia, is but the first step to the abolition
of slavery in all places under the jurisdiction of
the General Government, and constitutes anoth
er act of invidious and unconstitutional dis
crimination against ourpropertv and institutions.
4. Resolved, That these acts unerringly indi
cate the deliberate determination of the free
States to persevere in their hostility to our rights
and interests, and subject us to a degrading in
feriority; and that we see nothing” of public
opinion in those States to induce the belief that
even a tame submission to present wrongs, will
secure us against future and more destructive
aggression.
5. Resolved, That the recent acts of Congress
of which we complain, are substantially such as
the people of Georgia, in their party conven
tions and legislative bodies, have most solemnly
and repeatedly declared, they would resist at
“ every hazard,” and that a tame submission to
these acts, in the face of such pledges, will
place Georgia before the Union and the world,
in a position so humiliating, that her sons may
well blush to own her.
6. Resolved, That we will leave it to the wis
dom of the Convention to devise the mode and
measure of redress, pledging ourselves to sus
tain any measure which it may recommend, if
it secures the rights and interests of the people
of Georgia.
7. Resolved, That our thanks be tendered to
our distinguished Senator, the Hon John Mc-
Pherson Berrien, for the able and patriotic man
ner in which he has defended Southern Rights
and Southern Institutions, during the late ses
sion of Congress.

GREAT COUGII REMEDY!
AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
FOR Till CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop
ing-Coughs, Croup, Asthma and Consumption.
This truly valuable remedy for all diseases of the
lungs 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
agenx in the most desperate and almost hopeless case3 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 the world, and the world respect
their opinions.
Prom Professor Hitchcock.
James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your “Cherry
Pectoral” in my owm case of deep seated Bronchitis,
and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is
an admirable compound for the relief of laryngial and
bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior
character can be of any service you are at liberty to use
it as you think proper.
EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L, L. D.,
President of Amherst College.
Front the “London Lancet”
“Ayer’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 eo., Conn., sends us the
following tostimony:
Dr. J. C. Ayer —Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate
from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly re-pectable lady
of this village, wife of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff,
Windham co., Conn. The cure in her case was very
prompt, and has attracted general attention.
W. A. BREWSTER, M. D.
West Killinuly, Ct., Sept. 23, 184S.
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 “Ayer’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 you
a report of my case, 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- j
chased the filth bottle, and am nearly recovered. I now J
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 j
can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives
such satisfaction as your’s does ; nor have I ever seen a
medicine winch cured so many cases of cough and lung
complaints. Our physicians are it extensively in
their practice, and with the happiest effects.
Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT.
