COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1859
Democratic State Convention.
To nominate delegates to the Na
tional Democratic Convention at
Charleston, will assemble at Mill
edgeville on the 2d day of March,
next. By order of the Executiv e
Committee.
DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.
There will be a Mass Meeting of the Demo
cratic party of Muscogee at the Court House, at
12 M! on Friday, the 16th inst., to repudiate the
action of the Legislative Convention, which as
■3tnbled on the Bth inst, at Milledgeville, and ap
p )inted delegates to the Charleston ational
Democratic Convention.
Congress.
The latest intelligence from Washington, re
ports the House engaged in the discussion of a
resolution offered by Mr. Clark, of Missouri, in
reference to that vile and treasonable production
known as/‘Helper’s Book.” That resolution is
as folbws:
Resolved, That the doctrines and sentiments
of a certain book called the “Impending Crisis of
the South, and How to meet It,” purporting to
have been written by Hinton It. Helper, are inn
oehdiary and hostile to the domestic peace and
tranquility of the country; and that no member
of this House who has recommended or endorsed
it or the Compend, is fit to be the Speaker of this
House.
Mr. Sherman, the Republican candidate for
Speaker, is one of the signers and endorsers of
this production, and, hence, the resolution may
be considered as levelled directly against him.
He seeks to avoid the force of a just condemna
tion by the contemptible plea of ignorance of the
scope and contents of the work he recommended.
A most lame and impotent excuse ! We are glad
to see that our Southern representatives can not
be caught by so transparent a falsehood, and are
determined to fasten the infamy upon the traitor.
This man, thus stigmatized by his own act as an
enemy to the Constitution, is receiving, day after
day, the combined vote of the Black Republican
party for Speaker of House. Yet, in the face
of this commentary upon their professions, his
supporters, or many of then!, have the effrontery
to declare that they do not sympathize with the
recent foray of John Brown upon the peace and
honor of the South. That his election will ensue
is, under the present aspect of affairs, by no
means impossible. In that event, we feel very
much like seconding the advice to the Southern
representatives, given recently by Senator Iver
son in the course of some remarks made by him
in the Senate, to return home and tell their con
stituents to prepare for a dissolution of the Union.
In this connection we desire to correct a state
ment made by our Senator at the time he deliv
ered the above in reference to his constituents
“ultra man” at home. We sec no ground for this
imputation.
In the position which he has taken upon the
rights and duty of the South, Judge Iverson was,
perhaps, a little in advance of his day, but, view
ed in the light which subsequent events have cast
upon that position, the great mass of the people
of Georgia commend and endorse it.
The Senate were engaged in discussing a reso
lution submitted by Mr. Mason, of Virginia, for
the appointment cf a committee to investigate
thb Harper's Ferry invasion. Mr. Trumbull, of j
Illinois, with a view to embarrass and defeat the
resolution, moved to amend by adding, that the
investigation be extended to the seizure of the
Arsenal at Liberty, Missouri, four years ago. This
motion elicited patriotic speeches from Senators
Mason, Hunter, Brown, Pugh, Green and Iverson.
Mr. Crittenden of Kentucky was the only South
ern Senator who favored the amendment. No
result was reached.

Resolved, That one Benj. F. Winter being
charged with avowing abolition and incendiary
sentiments, and the proof sustaining the charge,
it is the settled conviction of this Committee that
said Winter shall leave this town by 4 o’clock
to-day, and if found in the county after to-day,
that he be arrested by the Marshal of this town
and brought before a meeting of the citizens for
such punishment as may be deemed proper in the
premises. That the meeting pledges itself to see
the Marshal harmless in hll his acts; and that the
citizens meet to-morrow at 10 o’clock to organ
ize more lully for such cases as may arise in the
future.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the Columbus papers.

Gov. Wise’s Message,
The Governor of Virginia has sent a fiery mes
sage to the Legislature. We subjoin a few brief
extracts:
“Insurrection is the lesson of the hour’—not
cf slaves only, but all are to be free to rise up
against fixed government, and no government is
to be allowed except “the average common sense
of the masses,” and no protection is to be permit
ted against that power. *’ * ‘
This is but an epitome, plain and unvarnished,
without exaegeration. What is this but anarchy?
What do: it mean hut “confusion worse confoun
ded,” and the overthrow of all rights, of all gov
ernment, of all religion, of all rule among men ?
Nothing but mad riot can rule and misrule with
such sentiments as these. Therecanbe no com
promise with them, no toleration of them in safety
or with self-respect. They must be met and crush
ed, or they will crush us, or our union with hon
slaveholding States cannot continue, * *
For a quarter of a century we have been per
suaded to forbear, and patiently to wait for the
waking and working of the conservative elements
in our sister States. We have borne and for
borne, and waited in vain. We know that we
have many sound and sincere friends in the non
slaveholding States: * * *
But where is the evidence that the conserva
tive elements are the most powerful?
* * *
And the non-slaveholding States are
solid array opposed to us. * * *
The active has overcome the passive elements;
fanaticism has subdued conservatism in all these
States, and these can now, in our present condi
tion practically wield our destinies for weal or
woe.
Again, if these men were monomaniacs, then
are a large portion of the people of many of the
States monomaniacs. * ’* # * *
Masters in the border counties now hold their
slaves Jay sufferance. John Brown’s invasion
Rtnrtlpd 17 5* Ell t V ovo In m altt .Hm rt
We must, then, acknowledge and act on the
fact that present relations between the States can
not be permitted longer to exist without abolish
ing slavery throughout the United States, or
compelling us to defend it by force of arms.
He concludes by saying:
“We must rely on ourselves'“ ! and fight‘for
peace. I say, then, toyour tents —organize and
arm.”
I repeat:
Ist. Organize and arm.
2d. Demand of each State in the Union, what
position she means to maintain for tho future in
respect to slavery and the provisions of the Con
stitution and laws of the United States, and the
provisions of State laws for ita protection in our
Federal relations: and be governed according to
the manner in which the demand shall be answer
ed. Letus defend our own position, or yield it at
once. Let U3 have action and not resolves—def
inite settlement, and no more temporizing the
Constitution, and no more compromise.”

Helper’s Book—A Discussion on It
Mr. Stanton. —If I signed it at all, it undoubt
edly was.
Mr. Keitt. —It was signed not many months
ago. Subscriptions were made to circulate this |
book by leading Republicans. The Governor of
New York
The New York Tribune, of a few weeks ago,
the 16 th of November, says :
“Nine or ten months ago, a number of earnest
and active Republicans of the city united in an
appeal to their fellow Republicans tor aid in an
effort to print and circulate one hundred thou
sand copies of Mr. H. R. Helper’s admirable
“Impending Crisis of the South.”
And then he lashes the indolence of the Re
publicans in not subscribing more money for the
purpose. Onu million of copies ought to Lave
been in the handjpf southern men. Mne months
ago they signed it. The elections are conduc
ted, funds are subscribed, the book is distributed,
the outrage upon the soil of Virginia is perpetra
ted, and not a word is said about the pamphlet
by these gentlemen. Only within the last few
hours have they found out that its doctrines are
infamous, and that they are shocked by their
course. Are they retiring before the consuming
execrations of their own people ? Only at this
moment, it seems, they have discovered that there
is something in Helper’s book ; and even yet they
do not profess to know thoroughly what its doc
trines are. Do you believe, after all this, that
they did not know what it was ? No, gentlemen
take the responsibility fairly. Let us see one
branch of this great Republic, this, the Repre
sentative branch, in the hands of men who insti-
gate a war of pillage and a war of races. Do you
repudiate your organ—the New York Tribune ?
Do you repudiate your great party leader—the
Senator from New York ? If you do not, how
can you repudiate the doctrines of this book ? As
loyal men, as lovers of the Constitution, as the
gentleman from New York [Mr. Clark] said,
ought you not to have examined into this book
which you have recommended so hastily ? Did
not know that anybody at the South believed that
men at the North indorsed John Brown, when,
for months, every press in the State of Virginia
had been appealing to the people of the North to
cleanse themselves from this foul stain ; when the
press of your own Slate had called upon you to
repudiate the net! Did not know it? What
means the meeting which was held in Boston, a
week ago, in order to cleanse from the robes of
that old city, the blood thus infamously shed ?
What mean sin ilar meetings in the cily of New
York ? Nobody thought that any cne at the
South supposed that the North was at all Im
plicated in Brown’s foray / Ah, gentlemen, that
will not do. The South here asks nothing but
its rights. As one of its Represents lives, I would
have no more ; but as God is my judge, as one of
its Representatives, I would shatter this Repub
lic from turret to foundation stone before I would
take one tittle less. [Applause in the galleries.]
Let the government pass into the hands .of the
Abolition party of this country; let us know that
and it is all we wish to know. I do not wish
the elections conducted under subterfuges. Let
what each one thinks of the Republic be borne
upon his forehead, and let us march on with the
step of events and reach our destined goal.—
We of the South are on the defensive, and we
shrink from meeting no act of aggression which
may be committed against us upon the field.—
We make no war upon persons at the North. I
know there are are good men there—men who
sustain justice and right, but unfortunately in
too many States, i fear, they are in a hopeless
minority. We mean now’to defend ourselves.—
All we say to you is elect your candidate. Stand
upon your platform, and then let each party figbt
out its own cause.
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Clerk, I
do not rise to make a speech. [Cries from the
Republican benches of “Go on ! go on!”] I will
just take the course I think proper, and leave
others to do the same. I believe, Mr. Clerk,that
the discussion which has already been, had ought
by this time to convince everybody that the
point of order which I made yesterday was a cor
rect and proper one; and I rise for the purpose
of renewing that point of order. It is thi3: that
for the Clerk ot the House’ to entertain any
question except that of proceeding to the elec
tion of a Speaker, or on a motion to adjourn.—
I make that point of order, and I want it deci
ded.
But, Mr. Clerk, before I sit down I will say
one single word. Ido not blame the gentlemen
from the South for taking the course they do, al
though I deem it untimely and irregular, and al
though I deem it withholding from the public
creditors, who are needing the means which we
are bound as honest men to give them “speedily.
Nor do I blame them for the language of intimi
dation, for using this threat of rending God’s
creation from the turret to the foundation.—
[Laughter ] All this is right in them, for they
have tried it fifty times, and fifty times they have
found weak and recreant tremblers in the North
who have been effected by it, and who have ac
ted from those intimidations. [Applause.] They
are right therefore, and I give them credit for re
peating with grave countenances .that which they
have so often found to be effective when opera
ting upon timid men.
Mr. Crawford.—Will you keep down your Un
ion meetings at the North, and not deceive the
South by pretending to respect our rights, whilst
you never intend to give us peace? [Shouts of
“Order! order!”]
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania.—l am not to
be provoked by interruptions.
Mr. Crawford.—l do not desire to provoke you
—but desire to say that you will have your Un
ion meetings all over the North. [Cries of ‘order!
order!’]
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania.—l am not to
be provoked by interruptions. Interruptions have
n6 effect on me.
Mr. Crawford.—[Amidst continued interrup
tions and cries of “Order!”] Ido not mean to in
terrupt the gentleman My object is only to
make a single remark, and it is, that I hope that
the Black Republican party will not undertake to
deceive the South by a pretended friendship for
our constitutional rights now, and when our ap
prehensions are gone, then renew their warfare
upon slavery. If the true sentiments of your
people, as I believe them to be, are for the aboli
tion of slavery, we are anxious that there shall
at this time be no flinching; no lowering of your
flag for purposes of policy; we want you to sail
under your true colors, and then the gentlemen
will see whether we are in earnest in wh%t we say.
This, sir, has ever been your- course; and when
ever the people of the South are aroused to resis
tance, then it is that you call your public meet
ings, as you did in 1850, in New York, at Castle
Garden and elsewhere, and induce us to believe
that you will not further disturb our rights under
the f Constitution; justexm tly jas you are now be
ginning to do again in the New England States.
And this you will keep up until the Southern
people shall conclude that they are still safe in the
Union, when you at once renew your warfare
upon slavery. lam for no shirking of this ques
tion ; I want no backing down from positions ta
ken, but a bold and manly avowal of them : and
I pledge the gentleman my word that he will see
whether we are endeavoring to intimidate the
North only. No, sir; stand by your opinions,
and when they are made known to the country
do not deny them, and get up conservative meet
ings to lull us into security and quiet, and then
commence again your steady march against
slavery as you have always done heretofore, and
as I know you will ever do in the future. All we
want is a square and manly avowal of your senti
ments that pur people may not be deceived. Do
this, and my life upon it, you will see no coward
ly shrinking upon our parts from the mainten
ance of every constitutional right to which our
people are entitled.
Air. Stevens, of Penn.—That is right. That is
the way that they frightened us before. [Ap
plause.] Now you see exactly what it is, and
what it has always been.
During the above colloquy, members from the
branches upon both sides crowded down into the
area, and there was for a time, great confusion
and excitement in the Hall.
Frankfort, Kentucky, Dec. 12.—The Hon.

Congressional,
Washington, Dec. 12.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Iverson, of Georgia,
made an explanation, and stated that in his re
marks the other day, in relation to the unsound
ness of the Democratic party in the North, he
had not intended to charge complicity by that
party with John Brown, but merely that the po
sition of Judge Douglas, regarding the Territo
rial rights of the Southern people was not sound,
and he believed that a large portion of the North
ern Democracy agree with Judge Douglas.
Mr. Bigler, of Penn., defended the Northern
Democracy from any leaning towards Abolition
ism.
Mr. Johnson of Tehnessee, mado a speech
against the principles of the Republican party,
and uttered sentiments of warm devotion to the
Union. He denounced OsSowattomie Brown as a
notorious thief and murderer, and severely criti
cised Wm. 11. Sewrrd’s Rochester speech.
The Senate then adjourned.

firm but temperate Southern speech.
Messrs. Haskin, of New Turk, and Hickman,
of Pena., made remari:3 in justification of their
refusal to act with the Democratic party in ef
fecting an organization of the House.
A ballot for Speaker, having been called for,
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, said he would resist an
other vote until he had obtained a vote on his
resolutions. He wanted to smoke out the gen

by their vote on it.
The House adjourned.
Democratic Meeting in Webster County.
Preston, December 6th, 1859.
At a meeting of a portion of the Democracy of
Webster county this day held, it was resolved,
that the party do hold a Convention on Saturday
the 10th inst., for the purpose of taking into con
sideration the propriety of nominating candi
dates for county officers, and also for the purpose
of appointing Delegates to represent the county
in Convention to be held in Milledgeville, in next
March, for the purpose of electing Delegates to
the Charleston Convention.
On motion of Col. Harrell, it was resolved,
that we approve of the action of the Executive
Committee of the State, in calling a Convention
of the party to select the ‘Delegates to the
Charleston Convention; thereby supercedmg the
pernicious practice of the members of the Legiss
lature arrogating to themselves that authority.

TpSt" Scorbutic diseases are the parent stock
from which arises a large proportion of the
fatal maladies that afflict mankind. They are as
it were a species of potatoe rot in the human
constitution, which undermines and corrupts all
the sources of its vitality and hastens decay.—
They are the germ from which springs Ccnsump*
tion, Rheumatism, Heart disease, Liver Com
plaints, and Eruptive Diseases which will be re
to the races of men. So dreadful are its conse
quences to human life, that it is hardly possible
to over estimate the importance of an actual, re

combination. AVe know then we shall proclaim
