THE DAILY TIMES,
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
A word upon Passports.
An American gentleman on reaching tho shores
of Europe is at once struck with the novelty of
the orduaoce repairing a license to travel. Born
among a free people—enjoying the swoet fruits of
libarty, hie sensitiveness is touched, anti his pride
wouuded, when he noeds purchase a warrant of
his respectibility to gain access into the Country.
Accustomed to go whithersoever he chooseth
claiming freedom of movement by virtue of his
own noble instincts —unrestrained, except by llie
laws of self-respect, a permission to pass implies a
denial of the right, which is galling to his proud
and noble nature.
The original idea of a passport in England was
based upon the inability of a subject, to leave the
kingdom without the authority of the Sovereign.
This principle was illustrated in the 17th century,
when Charles I, prevented the leaders of the Pres
byteiian party, including Oliver Cromwell, from
leaving the country Surviving the revolution, the
Duke of Marlborough himself found some trouble
in receiving a passport from the hands of Queen
Anne. The impracticability of the system how
ever then, to say nothing of the assump ions of
error upon which it rests, was not so fully disclos
ed as at tho present time—For in the days of Bo-
Jingbroke or Stanhope, as iu the small State*—
such as tho Cantons of Switzerland or certaiD
members of the Germanic Confederation —a guar
rentoo of character, a testimonial of position
could be given with assurance of security.
But how can a Government at this enlightened,
prosperous day pretend to discriminate between
the claims of applicants, when all deserve so
well ?
This old custom, however, of deriving a travel
ler’s testimonials from his own Government has
passed away and the jealousy lies with the people,
whom he desires to visit. England has seen the
folly long since of such a system and has abolish
ed it, only so far as regards her good faith wit
other powers. Franco and other Kingdoms eti 1
insist upon the impracticable,foolish ordnance, al
beit a passport from the English Sec’y of State car
ries with it no weight as to character and is not
regarded as on introduction or a recommendation
to the good offices of tho foreign authorises.
Then, in a word, all passports are worthless
They are not certificates of character—they are
not letters of introduction—they are given to all
alike, who can force any man’s sig
nature to an application—they defeat tho very ob
ject for which they were designed—they put the
honest and dishonest in the eamo livery, the latter
always getting tho advantage—they are the relics
of an early civilization arid an unjust tyranny and
unworthy tho intelligence of chivalrous France
and the German ."tales.
All this talk is simply an encomium upon the
beauty of our own form of government when con
trasted with that of other na ioris and a song of
praise to the blessings of liberty which it is om
good fortune to enjoy
Cuthbert Convention-Col, Tucker
The Sumter licpubliccan, an American orgau
pays the following just tiibute to the legal ability
of Col. John A. Tucker, the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party for Judge in the Pataula Circuit. It
says:
“In our opinion, the Convention could not have
made a more suitable selection for .itidge, than
that of Col. Tucker, for we regard him every way
well qualified to discharge the onerous duties at
tendant upon the office. Notwithstanding he is
the nominee of a party, and our opposition to
caucus nominations for that high and responsi
ble office, yet we feel constrained to say that a
more suitable person cannot be found in the dis
trict, from among those of his own party. We
hope our friends iu the District will not hold a
Convention, but will give their support to Col.
Tucker, for wo feel satisfied, lie will do justice to
all. Qualifications alone, and not party, should
control us in the choice we make for the offices
of Judge and Solicitor, upon their merits, they
should stand or fall.”
The Democratic party of this (Chattahoochee)
Circuit have never opposed Judge E- H. Wornll
—our present able Judge—though he has boen
twioe before the people for the office. He was
elected without opposition oach time. It was a
well deserved complaint to his legal qualifications
and showed the respect in which he was held by
the people, whose rights were in a great measure
placed under his guardianship and protection.
Mitchell County Nomination.
A democratic meeting was hold at Camilla,
Mitchell county on the Bth instant, when Rev. A
Cumbie and Mr. Augustus H. Jones were nomi
nated respectively for the offices of Senator and
Representative in the next Legislature. Messrs
John G, Sapp, Joshua P. Crosby and Troup
Butler were chosen delegates to attend the Demo
cratic Judicial Convention of the South*Western
Circuit.
Mitchell county was made out of Baker at the
last session of the General Assembly. Rev. Mr.
Cumbie was the member from old Baker, and was
cut off in the new county,that he is now nomi
nated to represent in the State Senate.
We have not yet been in formed as to the place
where the Judicial Convention in the South-Wes
tern Circuit will assemble. Hon. R H. Clarke and
Col H. K. McCay are sp >ken of in connection f
with the Judgeship. The former’s name is an
nounced through the Albany Patriot , as n can

Crops
W e arc permitted to make the following extract :
from a letter written by a gentleman in Baibotir |
County, Ala., to a gentleman iu this city.
“You write discouragingly about your crop, you
have plenty of company. I do not think I
have mado a thousand pounds of Cctton since the
Ist of Aug. except in somo low places which had
noilnog at that time- The rust spread all over my
crop in a few days after it fairiy started.”

out by Mr. Greeley and his friends are acting like
charms upon the free colored populution general
ly, Many witnilar departures have already occur
red, aud will continue, not only lieuce, but from
various other citiea iu Virginia and other Southern

It is said that the mortality in tho London
hospitals has increased since the introduction of
etherization from twenty-one to thirty-threo per
cent*; or, to vary the expression, instead of ampu
tation being fatal in a less proportion than one in
four of those operated upon, it now proves fatal to
4 one in three.
Treaties with China.
Our Telegraphic dispatches have announced the
act of a cessation of military operations by tho al
lied Anglo-French armies and of the conclusion
of treaties of peace with China. The details ot
thefco treaties have not yet reached us; but w e ba\<
received enough to give assurance that the ports
| 0 f (hat country, which, from a dateless period, have
! closed against the merchantmen of the
world, have beou opened. Henceforth the waters
which wash the darkened shores of that distant
and almost interminable empire, will.bear exulting-
Jy the commerce and civilization of Christendom.
The material results which, in the natural order
of tilings, may be expected to flow thereirom,
have an important relation with the prosperity of
this country and especially of the cotton State^. —
The capacity of the South for the production of
the staple, we may fairly assume, is only equal to
the present wants of the world. That it is not
greater, is demonstrated by the fact that the price
of cotton remains at a standard of ample r mu
neration. In time of pence, without monotary ro
vuhions, or other disturbing causes to affect the
regular operation of the laws of supply and de
mand, it is not probable that any marked variation
from its present price would occur. It is true that
from two causes, to wit: the natural increase of
I cotton producers and the gradual emigration fr m
tho worn out lands of the East rn States to the
I fertile and inexhaustib e valleys ot the West, we
1 may look for a constant advance in production
; But it is also fair to assume that the consumption
i wili be regulated by aneqaal if not a greater,ra'io
j of progression. Whatever relation, however,these
| two facte may sustain to each other under existing
I or past circumstances, it cannot be doubted that
! the crumbling of these ancient barriers i<> Eu
i ropeanand American comm ree, which thistrea
! ty signalizes, will gives powertul and mprece
dented impulse to the demand tor the Southern
product.
The complacency, which a contemplation o’
its effect inspires, blinds us, perhaps imp operly
to whatever errors may have been committed i
the achievement, and enables us to endure with
composure tho reproaches of the English press for
our undignified and officious zeal

The Pennsylvania Inquirer of a late
date contains a beautifully written article on
“ Fidelity,” full of truth and wisdom. We
give the conclusion of the article :
“One of the most eminent of American
statemen and philosophers, many years
ago, described the happi st condition of the
human existence to consist in a perfect re
ciprocity of interests, feelings and affei ions
between man an i wife. Ail, he ad oitted,
were liable to errors and infirmities, all
were characterised by passions nd preju
dices, but with a spirit of mutual forbear
ance, and a determma ion ip-ver to offend
wantonly or intentionally—weded life he
regaidrd as tho only real bliss on this side
of the grave. But m order to realize this,
there must be at least two great #s*entiaH,
Confidence and fidelity. These are in some
sense twin sisters, and one cannot live
without the other. The faithful man or ttie
fiithful woman, in every sphere of society,
high or low, rich or poor, prince or peasant,
may be regarded as moral jewels among
the multitude, and as calculated to exercise
a salutary influence wherever they move
and m ngle. The changeling of the hour j
can never be relied upon. He is a creature j
of inteiest or impulse. To-day he may be |
ail earnestness, warmth, and apparent sin
cerity, and to-morrow he may be formal,
cold and hypocritical. He d--esnot under
stand, or will not practice the god like prin
c-p! of fidelity. That one virtue is capable
ot redeeming a thousand faults. We do not
look for perfection in tho sons aud daugnters
of Adam. We know that ail are finite and
frail, and we feel every hour we live that we
are fallible and mortal. Nevertheless, it
with this knowledge of ourselves and others
we endeavor to be true, faithful and hot est
on all occasions, we shall take one step in
advance, and avoid many triors and ex
cesses. And when, moreover, we find fidel
ity in another, when amidst the storm and
the sunshine, in joy or in sorrow, we
discover a heart that ia truly faithful, one
that never waves nor falters, one whose
very essence and spirit6eem to sympathise
with our own, let us respond, clng to, ap
preciate and cherish it, for it should be
regarded as the most precious and priceless
boon that has been left to man since the
fall.” _

Southern Education for Southern
Youth.
We have received a copy f *he address
delivered by the Hon. Wm. H Stiles, be
fore the Aipha Phi Delta Society of the
Cherokee Baptist College, on tno 14th of
July last.
We copy the closing part of this address,
as it embodies principles of which should
be engraven on the heart of every Georgian,
and practically applied now aud thiough
out ail time:
Friends and patrons of learning who have
gathered to witness the exercises of this in
teresting occasion, a word to you and Ii
have done. If nothing which I have ad j
vanced has been able to conviuce you ot |
the necessity of southern education for j
southern youih, I have in reserve at ap
peal, which he heart of no true Georgian, ’
1 trust can possibly resist.
It is the solemn warning of our departed
sir s. It comes iu us like “‘the ham w itmg
on the wall” to the inmates ot B Isuazzar’a
p<*l..ce with all me mice ot retii .uu. u. it
requires no Daniel b> in . rprei. bui stands
upon ihe pages of our statute hook in a
language which a.l may :ead that, “send

tries for educaii .n will not answer these !
purposes,is too hutui aiing au acknowledge
men l of the ignorance or m:e lor.ty ot our !
ownand will ai ways be the cause ot sogieat

tent wuh ibis admonition embraced in the
act o. 1785, tor the establishment ot a ritaie
Unive si y, our patriot lathers, at t .e same
session ol the General Assemb pdsseu a
separate act of disfranchising any person
who might be sent abroad tor the purposes
of education, and declaring such intelligence
to any office, civil or military, in the Stale,
lor a tern! ot years equal to that ot their
foreign i< si eic. And this statute remains
to this day unaltered and uprepealed.
Have ?e, I would ask, less love for our
sons or less regard tor our country, than
actuated oar ancestors? Oris the danger
f c man iiiatton from a foreign education
less now than formerly, le.- from o< e ob
tained in New England than from one ac
quired in O.d England, less from an educa
tion obtained iu the abolitionised and inim
ical States of Massachusetts and Connecti
cut, at the present day, than one acquired
in the indifferent but friendly countries ot
Europe in the last century ? It will not be
admitted ! Why then have we, on so vital
<t subj -ct, for more than seventy-five years,
disregarded toe wholesome injunctions of
hat authoritative voice.
Lot us pause, before it is forever too late
and gather wisdom from the teachings o,
die past.
There is a lesson connected with the es
tablishment of those institutions of Sparta
to which reference has been made, which
4 would be well for us to ponder. When
Lyeurgus had framed the institutions and
taws which gave to Sparta her subsequent
splendor, (institutions and laws, ton, which
like those ofour fathers of ’BS, were based
upon the instruction and proper training ot
youth,) interested as was most natural in
their effi et and permanence, he repaired to
Delphi and inquired of the oracle, “Wheth
er the new laws were sufficient for the
happiness of Sparta ?” And mark wed the
reply of the Pythian priestess, “Sparta will
remain the most flourishing of States, so
long as she observes those laws.” Had our
fati ers of ’BS, after establishing the insti
tutions and laws, which I would urge you
so warmly to respect, been able to propound
to some Delphic oracle a similar interroga
tory as to the effect and permanence of their
labors, the answer would doubtless have
been in substance identical witn that deliv
ered to Lyeurgus, “ Georgia will remain
the most flourishing of States so long as she
observes those laws.”
But of this lesson of history, the half is
yet untold.
So long a* Sparta continued to observe
the laws and institutions ol Lyeurgus, she
retained unimpaired the power and influ
ence which gave her supremacy over all
her rivais, but when in the lapse of time
those laws became at first neglect* and and
then forgott. n. Sparta fell to rise no m<>re
forever. The ploughshare now passes
over the site, where fie buri* and hi one com
mon ffiave, all he objects anun tc or n ani
