In the next Legislature. As the author has fail

<ifthc 16th inst., had an examination on Satur

New Cotton. —Several bales of new cotton
have been received during the past week. Yes
terday twenty three bales arrived, eight of which
were sold at 9J cents—the other fifteen bales,
from one plantation, were forwarded direct to
Savannah, 9§ cents per pound having been offer
ed and refused for them here.
The Columbus Times of the 21st instant,
says the first bale of new cotton was brought to
that city on 16th inst. from Russell county, Ala.,
and sold at 101 cents.
Fourteen bales new cotton were received, in
New Orleans up to the 20th inst.—twelve of
which were from Mississippi.
During the past week some three or four hun
dred bales of old cotton were received here—one
hundred of which arrived yesterday. It was
principally stored on planter’s account.
Mr. Madison's Opinion.
In another column will he found an inte
resting article from the Charleston News, giving
the opinion of Mr Madison, in relation to the
ordinance of 1767. At a time like the present,
when the rights of the South are violated with
impunity under color of constitutional privileges,
the opinions expressed in these extracts, by
one who well knew the extent of constitutional
authority in all its bearings,deserve serious con
sideration from the people. Had they been ad
hered to with fidelity, the South would have
been saved the necessity of lamenting the acts of
some ot her Representatives in Congress who
voted to exclude slavery from the Oregon Terri
tory—which, in our view of the subject, yielded
the whole ground, so far ns the constitutionality
was concarned, If Congress has the right con
stitutionally to legislate on the subject ofslavery
in the territories, it certainly can prohibit as well
as establish the system there. But we hold this
question as one paramount to the constitution,
and Congress cannot deprive a citizen of a
territory of his rights of property, any more than
it can the citizen of a State. This we think, is
the truo ground for the South to occupy, and any
tiling short of it, must in the end result in her
degradation, ami loss of power in the National
councils. Whilst a portion of her representa
tives and people yield the right to Congress to
legislate on the subject of slavery, what can we
expect but aggression on the part of those who
claim it, and are bound together as a unit, plotting
our destruction ?

Mr. Cot.lamer s Letter.—The Postmaster
General w rote a letter on the 10th of July last,
to Mr. Thos. P. Crawford, of Alabama, in
which lie expresses the following sentiments :
“All that I can say is that I am not
now, nor have I ever been, an Abolitionist, and
I have always received the most hitter opposition
from the Abolition party in my own State. (Ver
mont.) I have always held that nothing should
he done by the General Government in relation
to the subject of slavery in the several States.
I have always discountenanced ami opposed
all measures, public or private, imended to in
terfere with or disturb the institution as existing
within the States, as recognised by the consti
tution. At the same time, it is duo to justice
and myself to say, I am an anti-slavery man; that
is, I regard slavery as a very great political and
moral evil, and think nothing should he done by
this Government to increas or extend it.
* * * * “The Postmaster General has no
power, direction or control over the matter to be
mailed. It is regulated entirely by law. The
laws of Congress establishing and regulating
the Post Office Department are in all parts of
tho country open and accessible to all men.
These laws give neither to any postmaster nor
to the head of the department, any authority or
control whatever over any printed paper or let
ter which any person may think proper to con

The Florida Outbreaks.—From a letter re
ceived by the Savannah Republican, from a gen
tleman now in St. Augustine, we make the fol
lowing extracts ;
“This Indian outbreak will ruin thousands of
poor farmers in East Florida who have been and
w ill be compelled to abandon their homes, and
perhaps have everything they possess in the
world destroyed.”
“Major Ripley, with his detachment of U. S.
troops, has returned to St. Augustine from In
dian River, and reports that he had seen no In
dians, though he had discovered about two miles
from the settldffients where they had encamped
the night ensuing the outbreak in July last.—
They evidently made their way hack to the na
tion.
“Lieut. Adams, with his detachment of U. S.
troops, has also returned to St. Augustine from
Col. Marshal’s plantation on the Halifax River.
“The whole ofthe settlements on the Southern
coast are at present unprotected, and the In
dians now have full opportunity to destroy and
burn everything.”
The Ocala Argus of the 16th inst. says : “Cal.
Spencer, Indian passed through town
from Tampa last Saturday. He found it irnpos
sibla to have any communication with the In
dians, and states that $5,000 could not hire an
interpreter to go into the nation. A war and a
long one too in his opinion appears to be inevita
ble. He also states that the settlers at Mana*
tee in leaving fheir premises, were closely pur
sued by Indians, in canoes. Os course all that
they left, and that is everything, is plundered
and burnt. This outbreak already has cost over
$100,000.”
The attention of our readers is directed to the
tetter of the Secretary of War to Gov. Moseley,
which will be found in a preceding column.
From Mexico.—The Charleston Courier has
advices from New Orleans up to the 19th inst.,
which state : “An arrival at this port has fur
nished dates from Mexico to the Ist of August,
from which we glean the following intelligence:
“Arrangoise, the late Minister of Finance,
had been appointed Minister to France, and lef t
Mexico on the Bth ult. en route for Paris.
“Rumors were rife in Mexico that Herrera in
tended to resign as President of the Republic in
favor of Gutieree, the present Minister of Fi
nance.
“The municipal elections had just closed, and
resulted in favor of the monarchical party by
large majorities.
“Unusual movements of the military were in
motion, and precautions were being taken by
the Government against hidden hut pressing
dangers.
“Congress was still in session, but nothing
important had transpired.
“The Apache Indians had become greatly
alarmed at the Americans drawing so near the
river Gila, and had made overtures of peace to
the Mexican Government.
“The Cholera was making terrible ravages in
tne State of Durango.”
O’ The Savannah Republican of the 23d
inst. says: “For the last few days the weather
has been most delightful for the season. The
rains of last week have been succeeded by dry
harvesting weather. The health of the city, as
well as on the rice plantations, is remarkably
good. The diarrhoea or cholarine which existed
for a short time upon the plantations, has disap
peared entirely.
“Tho planters are now preparing to harvest
their rice ; two or three commenced day before
yesterday. VYe are informed that the grain will
generally be ready during the present month.—
At the South, on the Ogeechee, Altamaha and
Satiila rivers, planters commenced harvesting a
few days ago. The health in those sections is
as good as it is upon the Savannah river. We
trust it may continue so, and that a bountiful
harvest will reward the labors of the industri
ous.”

RELIGIOUS MEDITATIONS—SO. XV.
“LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.”
“Love worketh no ill to his neighbor.” It is
“long-suffering and kind when the persecu
tions of the bigot, and the coarse anathema of
the infidel fall heavily upon it. Behold, the
splendor of the Christian character ! Mark the
every-day Christian, as he passes along through
this sorrow-stricken world ! A Heavenly smile
lingers on his placid countenance, and the tear
ofsympathy or affection is ever ready to start from
his eyelids. His demeanor is graceful, yet tem
pered with humility—most men are proud, be
cause they have nothing to boast of: but he is
humble,' because his Father is the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords. His dress is neat and
becoming, yet plain and simple—most men ar
ray themselves in costly stuffs, and adorn them
selves with gold and jewels, because they have
no other ornament: but he goes unadorned, be
cause Ins garment of virtue is of more value
than the gems of earth. Contentment is writ
ten on iiis face, although he is no heir of world
ly wealth—most men are grasping after gold,
because they have thousands in their coffers :
hut he is satisfied with poverty. His conversa
tion is pleasing, profitable and instructive, yet
he is never forward or presuming—most men are
impatient and anxious to be heard, because they
know nothing : but he is modest and retiring,
because he is wise. He is never sought for by
the great of the land, and never prides himself
upon their acquaintance— most men think it an
honor to be a statesman’s friend, because their
white-washed fame is empty and hollow : but
lie is content to be unknown, because lie sups
with the Eternal God, and holds sweet converse
with the spotless spirits of the other wgjld. lie
never complains when idle jesters laugh at his
religious scruples, for he is long-suffering—most
men hate to be laughed at, because they deserve
it : hut lie is kind, returning good for evil, be
cause he knows that they are wrong. He does
not dislike his neighbor, because he differs in
opinion with him, for he is charitable—most
men arc precipitous and headlong, because they
care not to he right: but be is cautious, for fear
lie may be wrong. He will not injure the small
est insect in his path, for he is humane and kind
—most men are barbarous and cruel, because
they have no right to ill-treat the least servicea
ble of the brutes : but lie entreats them gently,
because he has dominion over them. He does
not rejoice when an enemy is discomfited, but
weeps with them that weep—most men delight
in the misfortunes of their foe, because the in
jury is mutual : but ho laments the failure, be
cause they both are benefitted. He freely can
cels wrong committed on himself, for he is pa
tient, and bears no malice—most men thirst for
revenge, and return evil for injury, because
they make no effort to discharge the debt of Ad
am : but lie forgives, because he himself has
been forgiven. He thinks no evil of his brother
man, hut always hopes for the brightest and the
best—most men like to pick up foibles, and en
large upon follies, because they are most abun
dant in themselves; but he dislikes to hear them
spoken of, because he is freed from them. He
does not assign improper motives to good actions,
for he recollects that as he judges, will he be
judged—most men like to think others hypo
crites, and to find base reasons for worthy deeds,
because they themselves never have any proper
motives : hut he thinks everybody honest, be
cause his own intentions are pure. He never
throws out an injurious insinuation against his
brother, for he loves him—most men like to stir
up strife, provided they arc not known in it, be
cause the wrecks of character give them themes
for conversation : but he prefers to remain si
lent, rather than to stab his neighbor’s reputa
tion, because he does to others as he wishes
others to do to him. He docs not envy the gifts
and graces of his brother, for God is the Giver
ot them all—most men covet the talents and cir
cumstances of others, because themselves do
not deserve them : but he rejoices in such pros'
perity, because he knows that if it he best he
will have it too. He does not doubt the com
mission of the professed Minister, for God has
signed it—most men like to doubt the truth of
all professions except their own, because all are
true, except their own : but he believes all, be
cause he knows his own are sincere. He docs
not hesitate to contradict a slander on the servant
of his Master, for thus he offers him a cup of
cold water—most men like to magnify reports,
and to make them gather as they go, because
there are more weighty sins and trespasses cov
ered up in their own seared consciences : but he
delights to confound a lie, because he is lookin'*
for the recompense of reward. He never places
a stumbling-block in the way of others, for he
knows he must answer for it—most men like to
see others follow them, because they are blind
leaders ofthe blind: but he delights to see all
men followers of Christ, and therefore assists
them by precept and practice. He will not im
pede the reputation, progress, or value of his
brother, for thereby he compromises the inter
ests of the community—most men dislike to be
excelled, either in doing good or evil, because
themselves cannot reap the benefit : but be re
joices at his brother’s usefulness, because God
gets the glory. He does not prefer himself, and
advance himself above his brother, for it is God
that sheweth mercy—most men like to have the
first and best, because they are last and worst :
hut he is content with the least, because lie de
serves the greatest. He will endeavor to let his
light shine before the world, and if it bo to good
purpose, he is satisfied—most men try to put out
the lights of others, in order to make way for
their own, because their light is darkness : bn 1
he is willing to let his light keep company with
others, because it is genuine truth, yet ho fears
it may mislead. In short, the every-day Chris
tian is a living commentary—“known and read
ofall men”—upon the truth ofthe Bible; the
divinity of the Gospel; the importance ofthe
“more excellent way and a candidate for tiie
joys ofHeaven. Oh ! that the Good Lord of
the Kingdom would increase the number of sucli
Christians !
My Soul ! art thou working ill to thy neigh
bor ? If so, thou art a stranger to that peace
which flows us a river, and that righteousness
which is as the waves of the sea ! ZAO.

Ect Facts Speak !
COMMENT ISUNNECESSARY-Another
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA.
Blountsville, Jones County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1849. 5
Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir —Being under
the impression that a short statement relative to
my case might be productive of good to many
that are now afflicted as I have been, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, I
have concluded to give it. desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I was attacked with Asth
ma, which continued to return at intervals, more
or less frdquent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians in
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but
without benefit—for I continued to get worse —
so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, I
had an attack every night, with only five excep
tions, till February, 1849. During this iong pe
riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition
was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I
was, to sit up almost all the time trying to catch
my breath, which every minute seemed as if it
were to be the Inst ; indeed, I have been for ten
days at a time that I dared not place my head
upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a
manner to have been heard over a hundred
yards.
Having exhausted the skill and means of the
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching at straws,l resolved to employ a Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
but alas ! he also failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
in this condition I left Mississsppi and came to
Georgia, and in January of this year, as a forlorn
hope, placed myself under your care in Macon.
You there saw, with many others, my condition,
which for a while,was just as described. 1 was
reduced to nearly skin and bone, weighing only
110 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repeated attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before I commen
ced improving. At first, I would miss one night,
then two, then more ; my general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent
health—have had no attack of Asthma since the
firstweekin March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have exposed myself during all
this rainy season to all weathers, without being
attacked, which fully justifies and warrants me
in making tnis statement, requesting its publica
tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may
be admonished to cease looking for a cure where
it cannot be found, but resort at once to the means
that have so happily, anil in such a limited peri
od restored me to health.
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain yours sincerely,
CYRUS L. HOLMES.

WHILE so much is being said and done by
Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for
the purpose of elevating their profession in the
public estimation ; while societies are being
formed all overthe country, and resolutions pass
ed declaratory ofthe superiority of theirsystem,
and denunciatory ofall and every other; white
the prejudices ofthe past are being aroused, and
the fears ofthe future are being appealed to ;
while legislative aid is invoked, and ad
verse interference denounced ; while the freedom
of speech and of opinion in professional men,
especially of those of the “sacred profession,”
are eudevoured to he curtailed, and their con
duct in givingcontenance to other systems de
nounced as “ painful and mortifying while, in
fine, they are placing their dependence for ele
vating their profession, on societies, resolutions,
denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c.
&e.; be it the pride, the happiness, and the glory
of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is far more substantial—“/Ac results of his
practice." These are his dependence, and to
them he looks for that “professional” elevation
to which he aspires ; and judging ofthe future
by the past, he has every reason to believe that
he will not he disappointed. Influential bodies
inay rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation
may place its ban and promulgate its anathe
mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and
traduce, but“FACTS arc stubborn things
“Are clicils that winna ding,
Ami dar na be disputit”—
One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them lie has laid the base, and
on them he expects to raise the superstructure ;
and in accordance with usage, will still append
more to the list, already before the public. •
The following letter is from the Rev. John
W. Mills of the Florida Conference, of the M.
E. Church South ; who without the fear of the
Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke and
accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying”
conduct, and boldly gives bis experience to the
world. It is too late in the day for men to
school themselves into tho repression of their
convictions:
Quincy, Florida, April 10th, 1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, rny morbid appetite left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I eat now agrees with me, and lain satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do their office when I last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at the improvement in my health.
When I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness, which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines led, &o. 1 am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
Persons desirous of testing the efficacy ofthese
remedies in their own cases, no matter where
they reside, can do so very conveniently by send
ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct
ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va
rious cases will be compounded and sent by mail,
eipress or private hand. In order that all
may partake of the benefits resulting from the
use of his remedies, bis charge for the treatment
of such eases as do not require bis personal atten
tion, will be only Five Dollars a month, which
may be sent by mail at his risk.
Acute cases, and those requiring personal at
tention, will be charged in accordance with the
established rates of other city Physicians.
The inconvenience of having little sums scat
tered all over the country has induced hrm for
the future to have his terms cash, or when that
is varied from, it must be with the express prom
ise of honorable payment at Christmas, without
subjecting him to the trouble and expense of col
lection. Those requiring personal attention
can be accommodated in Macon. All letters
must be post paid and addressed
