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. Treatment of an Abolitionist. Hamilton, Ga. Dec. 12, 1859. Editor Times: —A large number of thecitizens of Hamilton met in the Court House to-day— Col. D. P. Hillwa3 called to the Chair and L. T. Stamper requested to act as Secretary. The object of the meeting being announced, it appeared that one Benj. F. Winter (a blacksmith) had been avowing certain abolition and other in cendiary principles publicly; after thorough in vestigation, a committee was appointed who made the following report: 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.

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.” Meeting of the Democratic National Committee.

Whereupon the Committee adjourned with out day. D. A. SMALDEY, Chm’n. John H George, ) C. L. VAJfiAMHHMAW, j S,crtar *f. 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. John C. Brcckenridge, was to-day, elected U. S. Senator, by twenty-nine majority. He succeeds the Hon. J. J. Crittenden, whose term expiree in 1801. Later from California- New York, Dec. 12. The steamship Atlantic has arrived from As piowall, with mails, passengers, and a million eight hundred thousand dollars in treasure. The San Juan Island is now in the virtual oc cupancy of England and the United States. There are but few United States troops at San Juan. The matter of sending an equal number of British troops is left to the discretion of Gov. Douglass. 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. House —Mr. Stewart of Maryland, mado a 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 tlemen, and mrke them declare their sentiments 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. Resolved, That Hon. Henry A. Wise of Vir ginia Js our choice for the Presidency, OLIVER TAGGART, Ch'n. S. H. llawktns, Sec y. 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.
