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.

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