ICOLI’MBUS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1858
.Senator Hammond’s Speech.
We bare not found leisure, until yesterday, to
read the speech of this distinguished South-Caro
linian, delivered at Barnwell Court House on the
29th ult. We arose from its perusal with a very
high appreciation of the dialectic skill of the ora
tor and the rhetorical merit of his performance.-
More than this we cannot say in commendation.
Of the general tone and scope of the address we
emphatically disapprove. It is a labeled attempt
to demonstrat’s, in the face of contradicting histo
ry, that the institution of slavery is stronger in
the Union than it ever was, and, therefore, that
the apprehensions of the Southern people for its
safety are groundless. Asa corollary from this
proposition it results that all the efforts which the
South has made through her Statesmen to pre
serve her’equality and to protect her rights, have
been as superfluous and silly as they have been un
successful. All our past appeals to Southern hon
or are to be condemned as unmeaning nonsense,
and our demand for Southern rights lampooned as
an ancient folly. At a time when it seems to us, the
South should keep a more diligent watch than ever
andgird on her armor in preparation for the assault
which is now vaultipgly threatened by her ene
mies, she is lulled to confident security and re
pose by the syren song of peace. Slavery strong
er, indeed ! A quarter of a century ago, the anti
slavery party in this country had not been sum
moned into existence. It made an insignificant
beginning in prayer to Congress, by a few misera
ble fanatics, for the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The law of its existence has
been that of progression—rapid, miraculous.—
Within the period of a short life, it has successive
ly absorbed or overthrown every political organ
ization which has dared to contend with it in the
Northern States, and to-day its prophet-leader,
from the vantage-ground of a recent victory, bran
dishes his sword and, in the light that flashes from
its crimson blade, reads the conquest and degra
dation of the South, The extravagance of its pre
tensions has been fully commensurate with the
enormity of its growth. From petition it has ad
vanced to demand; from demand to threat, and
execution follows the threat with that invariable
sequence with which the thunder pursues the
flash. It is true that public opinion in the South
has changed upon the question—that the South is
now more united upon the morality of slavery than
she has ever been, and we would not disparage the
moral power which this unanimity of sentiment
would give her iu a contest with her enemies, but,
it must he admitted that her political power is iu
course of rapid decay; her comparative, numeri
cal strength is represented on an abruptly descend
ing scalo. By way of allaying the apprehensions
which such a reflection would naturally excite, Mr
Hammond tells us that “the abolition party in the
free States is now almost wholly politicalby
which we suppose he means that the element of
fanaticism does not inhere in it any longer. His
remarks on this subject involve ldm in a patent
contradiction.
After the observation above quoted, he says :
“Do you suppose that the Sewards, links, Wades,
Wilsons, Chases and their associates care any
thing for African slavery, or are really hostile to
our system of labor, any more than is the Presi
dent, Dickinson, Bright, Pugh or Douglas? I
do not. Their object is political power. They
have placed themselves on this spring-tide of fan
aticism to obtain it.” We thought, however, that
there was no fanaticism. There can be none, cer
tainly, without fanatics. Perhaps Senator Ham
mond can demonstrate that fanaticism is a thtny
and may exist objectively. No, the truth is, that
fanaticism is the substratum —the base-work of the
organization. No party could have survived ten
long years of defeat and scorn, as it did, unless it
were established upon such a foundation. They
imbibe it with their mother’s milk, it i3 taught
them iu their schools and colleges, preached to
them from the pulpit until hqgfility to slavery ac
quires all the sacredness of a religious tenet. Upon
the assumption of this unappeasable hatred;
Mr. Seward lately predicted a collision between
the two systems of labor which should end only
by the extinction of one or the other. It was in
view of the element of perpetuity which the spir
it of fanaticism imparts and guarantees to the
abolition party, that he declared the conflict be
tween freedom and slavery to be not an ephem
eral excitement upon temporary issues, but a groat
moral and political battle, involving in its result
the fate of the whole country for all time. Fuch
is the declaration of the organ of the party which
is fated to control this government within a few
years, and yet a Southern Senator, because Exeter
Hall has repented somewhat of its negro senti
j mentality, and France has turned negro thief, in
j vites the South to lethargy with the cry of “all’s j
well.”

milledgeville CORRESPONDENCE. !
Milledoevillf, Nov. 10th, 1858.
‘Messrs. Editor s: —There was quite a white frost
here this morning, which gladdened the hearts of
our Savannah friends. The members of the Leg
islature have gone to work in good earnest, meet- j
ing twice a day, reading hills and passing them. j
In the Senate, a hill vJhs laid on the table for the
present, abolishing the Supreme Court. There !
was quite a majority against the consideration of
the bill at this time, and the sense of the senate is j
undoubtedly against the passage of such a bill. :
The Court may be made stationary, and perhaps j
six months may be given the Judges to write out j
their decisions, but no other changes will be made, j
A biil. allowing attorneys a lien upon negroes de- ;
fended by them in Court, where the owner refuses
compensation for their services, and refusing ne- j
groes bail when indicted for insurrection, elicited ;
considerable discussion—Messrs. Slaughter of j
Dougherty, Hill of Harris, Tucker of Stewart, j
Whitaker of Fulton and Thomas of Gwinnett,
took part in the discussion.
Mr. Harris, of Meriwether, offered an amend
ment to the bill—making it inapplicable to any
case which may be pending in any of the Courts
of law or equity in this State at the time of its
passage. He disclaimed any intention to defeat
the bill, or to clog its passage, upon the contrary
he favored some of its provisions,and believed that
humanity to the negro, as well as justice to all
parties interested demanded their enactment, hut
the object of his amendment was to correct a great
and growing evil—an evil which bad crept into
the Legislattiou of the State of Georgia, which
good men lamented to see, and which, if unar
rested might unsettle the rights of individuals,
and produce an endless train of litigation and
confusion—it is the evil of special and ease legis
lation under the aspect of general law.
It was a fact, he said, well known to Senators,
that this General Assembly has been called upon
to review acts which looked very much like they
had been passed to fit particular cases: he would
make no charge of that sort against the bill now
under consideration, nor would he impugn the
motives of Senators who advocated it, he would
spurn any intimation from any quarter, that the
friends of this measure would so far degrade their
high position as to legislate for a particular case
! under the guise of a general law : but, whilst he
! would do justice to the motives of Senators, he
! would uot be unmindful of the rights and inter-
I ests of the counfry. He contended that the Leg
islature of the State of Georgia had no right to
pass laws which would affect the rights and inter
ests of parties litigant in any case, which might he
pending in Court at the time of its passage. Ad
j mit the principle, said he. adopt it as a rule of
legislation, and what man in this country is se
cure in the enjoyment of his rights and property ?
It is an insidious blow—(although not so intend
ed) at the dearest rights of the citizen. Suppose,
i he said, (to illustrate his position) that he should
j institute a suit against his neighbor for property
! to which he had a perfect right at the time he ac
quired it, or when suit was commenced, pending
j the trial of the ease, a law is passed which takes
| away his neighbor’s rights and robs him of his
| property, would there be any equity or justice in
j such legislation ? And yet such results may fol
| low from the passage of laws which are unlimited
! and unrestricted in their operation. He hoped
j that whether the amendment was adopted or not
; that it would not he allowed to pass in its present
| shape.
i The bill was finally referred to a committee,
consisting of Messrs. Hill of Harris, Whitaker of
Fulton and Colquitt of Muscogee. Iu the after
noon a few local bills passed. In the House, the
bill repealing the usury laws was discussed. The
vote upon the bill stood, ayes 71, nays 71. The
Speaker voted in the negative and the bill was
lost. Alexander M. Speer, Esq., the Clerk of the
i House, resigned his office to-day. Business in the
) different Courts compelled him to leave Milledge
i ville during the session, hence his resignation.—
i He has been one of the most efficient and popular
Clerks that we have ever had. By the way, he
is spoken of as the next Democratic candidate for
Congress in the 3d district. Hon. W. H. Stiles
speaks to-night upon the subject of Southern
Rights in the hall of the House of Representa-
I tives.
Two parties are now given during the w r eek at
Brown’s Hotel. Among the fair representatives
from different portions of the State, Columbus is
unsurpassed. C.
Mill edge ville, Nov. 11, 1858.
Mr. Editor—lion. William H. Stiles made a ve
ry able Speech last night to the members of the
Legislature. lie reviewed the whole question of
slavery; showed the inequality of the tariff; ad
vocated direct taxation; eulogized the gallant
“Coffin Regiment” of 1850; opposed any more
compromises—and alluded in glowing terms to
the ability of the South to protect herself, if she
would have the spirit and resolution. It was such
a speech as the Union-at-any-price gentlemen
should have heard.
Nothing of interest occurred to-day in the Sen
ate. I send you the report of a discussion in the
House.
THE HOUSE.
Met at 10 o’clock; the Clerk having called the
roll, and the journal being read, the House pro
ceeded to business.
A motion by Mr. Wilkes of Lincoln, to recon
sider so much of the Journal of yesterday as re
lates to the loss of the bill introduced by Mr. Mil
ledge of Richmond, in relation to Railroad
and Bank charters. Mr. Wilkes thought
that if the bill could be so amended as to take ef
fect after the first of January next, there would
be found gentlemen in favor of its passage.
Mr. Mil ledge said that in this bill there was no
‘‘snake in the grass,” certainly he had no personal
interest in the bill, and he wished gentlemen to
have an opportunity of offering such amendment;
he had introduced the bill believing it to be a just
one, and one that would prevent the grauting of
charters, without mature deliberation, because the
advertisements contemplated in the bill would
arrest the attention of the people and their repre
sentatives, Ac.
Mr. Hardeman, had yesterday opposed the bill;
he thought it was a nullity, and he thought so yet.
Many of our cities now had as many banks as
they wished. Railroad charters had been obtain
ed and the roads built. The gentleman had said
that there was no “snake in the grass.” Ido not
think there is, but we have the constitutional pri
vilege, to introduce any bill we may choose, and
gentlemen are not obliged to grant any charter
without due deliberation. The bill was a reflec
tion upon the Legislature, and were ho a member
of the next Legislature, he should claim the privi
lege of introducing any bill, which the wishes or
wants of his constituents might require—and was
it right, was it just that any such restraints should
be placed upon the people of the State.
Mr. Luffman of Murray: If the gentleman
from Richmond will change the caption of his
bill, and phrase it as an amendment, or an addi
tional section to the constitution with an amend
ment that the Legislature grant no more Bank
charters, I will give it my hearty support. It is
due to the gentleman from Richmond, and the
friends of this bill, that I should say, that upon
the first readiug, it met from me a partial favor,
but upon more mature reflection, my opinions have
changed.
Mr. Smith of Towns: It was due to himself
an d to the House that he should explain his po
sition on this bill, and his reasons for opposition,
fell me, said he, that there are Railroads enough
in Georgia. In Great Britain, where the land
belongs to the Lords, Railroads are running In
every direction, and here in Georgia, where the
soil belongs to the yeomanry, how many fertile
valleys are yet without these facilities. [The
remarks of Mr, Smith were interrupted by a mes
sage from the Senate, announcing the passage of
certain bills, and Mr. Smith then resumed.] You
have returned to annual sessions, your election
conies on in October; let every man meet upon a
common footing; every citizen is equal, as well in
civil as political rights, and for one he would nev
er consent to put upon the statute book, any law
which would interfere with these rights. In the
myst flattering manner Mr. Smith alluded to the
uniform urbanity and ever gentlemanly con
duct and course of the gentleman from Rich
mond, and for these reasons, though opposed to
the bill, he would vote for the reconsideration.
Mr. Wilkes of Lincoln, thought the fight nar
rowed down to the city of Augusta, so far as the
banks were concerned; that for the present they
were in the hands of the Executive of this State,
Ac.
Mr. Miutz of Jackson: If there was merit in
the bill let it he reconsidered, and with certain
amendments he might vote for it.
Mr. Harris of Glynn, did not wish to put him
self in antagonism to the gentleman, without giv- ■
ing his reasons. He thought when bills tor char
tering railroads or hanks * were presented to the
Legislature, it would tnen be time to place re
| strictions, Ac.
The motion to reconsider was lost. Yeas 6v
nays 77.
Mr. Schley of Burke moved to reconsider that
portion of the Journal which relates to the loss
of a bill in relation to money loaned at any rate
of per cent. Ac.
Mr. Smith of Towns, regretted to rise again so
soon and hoped the motion to reconsider would
prevail. Money was a commodity and should be
hired as any other commidity is hired. If the
usury laws were repealed, what would be the con
sequence, who would be benefitted ? why the poor
man.
A message from his Excellency the Governor
was announced.
Mr. Smith resumed. You say the capitalist
shall not make what he pleases upon his money,
if he charges over 7 per cent, he is branded a
usurer —you leave the farmer to make any per
cent he can on his crop, the merchant, the owners
of ships Ac., Ac. Repeal the usury laws, let the
provisions of this Bill be passed upon by the peo
ple at the next general election. Repeal the usu
ry laws which benefit only the Sbylocks, and the
consequence world be that the capitalists who now
invest in other States would bring their money
here, competition would spring up and the rate
of interest world be consequently reduced.
Mr. Smith’s was a lengthy and able speech in
favor of the Repeal of the usury laws and I have
endeavored to give the leading ideas as briefly as
possible.
The Hon. Speaker Mr. Underwood desired to
make a few remarks, and Mr. Harrison of Chat
ham was called to the chair. Laws Mr. Under
wood said were necessary for the protection of the
weak, against the oppression of the strong. He
believed that this bill had originated with the cap
italists of the country and not with the people. If
the hill was for the benefit of the people God knew
his heart, and he would be for it, but if it was for
the good of the poor man he had not the percep
tion to see it. In his county the money lenders
had voted for his opponent, the borrowers had vo
ted for him, and he asked every man on this floor
who supported this hill how many of their constit
uents had instructed them to vote for it. Articles
had been written and published in the papers, at
the instigation of capitalists asking the repeal of
the usury laws. The gentleman last year had vo
ted against the Banks, for the very reason that
they made more than 7 per cent. Mr. Smith ex
plained, that this was so, because the hanks alone
under the present law. by their charters made 21
per cent by their triple capital; that he wished
the usury laws repealed, and why should they be
allowed to make three times what private lenders
with small capitals could do.
Mr. Underwood resumed. If the gentleman
wishes a fair expression of the people upon this
question, let him introduce a Resolution to that
effect and refer the bill to the vote of the people,
and when he said the People, he meant the Peo
ple, ho meant to protect the interest of the People,
those who made the bread and meat. The poor
were those whom he wished to protect, and the
gentleman knew it. He might be called a dem
agogue, he was promt of the appellation. He
would ask every man in this House upon what
tests the prosperity of the country? The agri
cultural interests of Georgia. Pass this bill and
capital would be diverted from this interest, that
planters and farmers might become money lend
ers. He was in favor of keeping the interest down
to 7 per cent, and wished to know if any gentle
man proposed any amendments.
Mr. Wilkes, If I contract with you for money
at a greater rate of interest than 7 per cent, are
you not in favor of passing a law to make me keep
that contract ?
Mr. Underwood, That is not the issue, if a man
lends money at 15 per cent, he takes honor as the
pledge for its payment, Ac. Do you wish to ex
clude the Banks from the provisions of this Bill ?
Mr. Smith, wished the bill to stand as it was.
Mr. Underwood, I have asked for proposed
amendments I hope the motion to reconsider will
be lost.
Mr. Barrett of Gordon, would vote fora recon
sideration, but would not say how he should vote
on a final consideration.
The motion to reconsider was lost; Ayes 55, Nays
88.
A message was received from the Senate through
Mr. Terhune, notifying the House of the passage
of several bills by that branch of the Legislature.
It is announced that the Message of the Gove
nor of Georgia “is devoted entirely to State affairs/
Has it then become so common for State Execu
tives to discuss national rather than State questions,
that it is deemed necssary, in case of an exception,
•to make a note of it?”
The Govenor of Georgia, if he has done what is
attributed to him, has done a sensible thing: and
deserves the thanks of his constituents, and also
the approval of the whole country. The business
of “a State Executive, as we understand it, is to
discuss State affairs; to which these annual Mess
ages should be strictly and exclusively confined.

A Cold Blooded Murder.
A cold blooded assassination was committed at
Shreveport, La., recently, by a man named E.
Ward. A Mr. W. W. Smith, for many years a
well known merchant of that town, while quietly
returning to his place of business after dinner, was
met by Ward, who had evidently been awaiting
his approach, and was deliberately shot down ;
the contents of the two chambers of a double bar
rel shot-gun being discharged into his person at a
distance of not more than twenty feet, mangling
in a most horrid manner and instantly depriving
him of life. Mounting his horse, which was in
readiness, before any one knew what had occur
red, the fiendish perpetrator of the dastardly as
sassination, dashed through the streets, and made
for the Texas road. Instant pursuit was made by
several parties, and a reward of $2,000 was in
stantly offered by Mr. J. W. Smith; SI,OOO guar
anteed by certain gentlemen, on bahalf of the
State, and SSOO was added by the corporation,
making $3,500 reward for the apprehension of the
assassin.
The party starting in pursuit arrested Ward in
Jackson Parish, La. He made a desperate re
sistance, killing one man outright and mortally
wounding another. He was then shot, the ball
taking effect in his shoulder, when he exclaimed
“I am dead! don’t shoot any more. lam Ward,
who killed Smith at Shreveport!”
Ward was taken, under a strong escort, to
Shreveport and lodged in jail there.
Shot w ith Water. —A young German of Chic

committed suicide on Saturday last in the follow
ing singular manner: He went into a shed, took
a gun and loadijig it tcith ic&tcr, placed the muz
zle in his mouth and fired, completely shattering
his head. YV hen found he was standing in the

terrible appearance being completely drenched with

The cause of the suicide is traced to the refusal of
Simon’s farther to permit him to marry the girl of j

Startling* Intelligence for Vox Populi !
PICTURE GALLERY IN FULL BLAST.
THE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co
lumbus, and in fact to all Georgia, that he is now
taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
in the ‘•Empire State,” either by a foreign or native ar
tist. His prices range from that much despised sum
fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United
States, yet he fears not the result of a cornnarison with
those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver
tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He
prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial .trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store. Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at all times.

THE GORDY GRAPE.
THIS delicious and valuable table Grape was first
brought to notice two y ears ago by Mr. L. Gordv
of this county. Those who have seen* this Grape are
willing to testify in its favor. To those who are unac
quainted with it we refer tin? following testimonial:
r Coi.i MBi s, Ga., October ls.>..
MR. L. GORDY— Dear Sir:
We the undersigned have seen and eaten of your
delicious native Grape, and it affords us much pleasure
to state, that we think'we have never seen a Grape
that would compare with it in excellence as a prolific
bearer, the size ot its fruit and bunches, and their une
qualled flavor.
We hope that you may have a stock of erowine vines
of this valuable Grape sufficient to supply the large dr
mand you will have for them.
We recommend those of our friends who wish to
raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines of you
as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liable to rot, 'and
ripens more uniformly than any other variety that we
have seen. [Signed by]
