Treason in the Pulpit.
The Rev. Mr. WtiEiilLocK recently pro
nounced a discourse jn the Unitarian
Church of Dover, N. H., in the course of
which lie announced thatJhe dissolution ol
the Union dated from the ah of March, 1850,
when the Fugitive Slave laill was passed ;
that we have had no coistitulioo since;
that freedom haa now becqme the assailant
end has gained the victory;)hat theBu tker
Hill of our second revolution has been
jouglit; that John Brown’e ycheino is no
leilure, but a solemn succcset that he has
shown that it is no impossible feat to plant
! « permanent armed insurrection in Vir
ginia; that he has succeeded in rendering
ulavery insecure; that trom his martyrdom
nates a new ora of the anti-slavery cause;
'hat to moral agitation will be added ptiy.i-
eal—to'argument, action; that other devo-
'ed men will follow in thd wake of Brown,'
and carry on the work he haa begun; that
John Brown would be accepted in the
north as the people's candidate for the
"residency, and would receive a milion
reiea; that hia gallows will be in politics
what tho cross is in religion; and that front
his sacrificial blood the temporal salvation
four millions of. our people yet shall
spring.
Such are the treasonable sentiments that
are uttered in the pulpits of the North, and
I "at only tolerated, but approved by a large

Democratic Meeting in Milledgeville.
In accordance with previous notice, a
large portion of the democratic members ol'
the Legislature assembled in the Repre-
aentative Hall on tho evening of Monday,
the 21st inat. The Hon. Peter Cone, Sen
ator Irom Bulloch, was called to the Chair,
and Jas. J. Diamond, ol DeKalb, appoint
ed Secretary.
Mr. Jones, Senator from Newton, offered
the following preamble and resolutions,
which, alter some debate and several propo
sitions to amend, were adopted.
Whereas, from time immemorial it has
been the usage of the democratic party of
Georgia to hold a convention, at a time
during tho session ol tho Legislature next
preceding tho time to holJ tho Presidential
Convention of the National Democracy,
tor the purpose ol appointing delegatee to
such Presidential Convention; and where
as, believing, as we do, that the power and
right always remain in the people to move
in primary meetings and adopt such meas
ures as they inuy deem most expedient to
carry out the long established usages of
the great party to which we acknowledge
our adherence, he it therefore
Resolved, That we, the Democratic
members of tho Legislature of Georgia, do,
in view ol tho premises belore stated,
recomend tnat a convention ol the Demo
cratic party ol the State ol Georgia be
held at Milledgeville on Thursday, the 3th
duy of December next, and wo do appoint
that day lor the purpose of nominating
deligates to represent the Democracy of
this State in tho Presidential convention ol
the National Democracy, to be held in
Charleston during the year I860.
Resolved, 2nd, That the Democratic
party of the several counties in the State,
unless willing that their representatives in
the Legislature should act in the premises,
be requested to appoint delegates to said
convention, to be held in Milledgeville on
the 8ih of December next.
On motion of Mr. Seward, Sen’.or from
Thomas, the Democratic papers of the
State were requested to publish the pro
ceedings of the meeting.
The meeting then adjourned.
Peter Cone, Chairman.
Jas. J. Diamond, Secretary.
BtiSP Writing of the republican candi
dates for office in the House of Represen
tatives, the VVashington correspondent of
the N. Ye Post, says:
Candidates for the elective offices of the
House are already thick us blackberries
Sherman and Grow are talked ol for the
Speakership. For the Clerkship new men
are coming forward with claims every day.
Forney, ixlcKibben, Underwood, Schouler,
Hoffman and others. The lust named
gentleman is a defeated Marylund Con
gressman, and claims the vote of Republi
cans on two grounds: first, because he
owes his defeat to tho Hurper's Ferry out-
hreu'.t; and aguin, because he owes his de
feat to the fact that when last in Congress
he voted lor the expulsion ol Bully Brooks.
For the Postmustur ol the House is Lewis
Clcphane, ol tliiscit;* Born on slave soil,
ho has for ten years worked faithfully
against slavery extension, and in tho elec
tions ot the las; four years has, iu connec
tion with the Republican association here,
ol which he is {Secretary, sent off millions
ol documents to tho Free States. He has
never sought or rocoived office nor pay for
his work, and he is the special murk for
tho arrows of our prominent Democratic
bullies in Washington. Mr. Goodloe, ot
the Era, I hear, is a prominent candidate
for the Public Printing.
Cotton bhipments.
The following inland movement of cotton be-
gitiN to attract attention lu commercial circles:
Duriug the year ending August 31st last, the
Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce roport states
that there was received at Cincinnati 49,940 bales
of cotton, the highest quantity at an previous year
being 29,000 bales in 1850. Of the first named
quantity, 3,700 bales were shipped up the Ohio
river, aud 35,400 biles were soul by canals aud
railways northward. Philadelphia received, in
1868,12,600 bales of cotton by railroad from the
West, but for 1859 we are.unable to say what quan
tity has to cotne; it will probably go above 20,000
bales. Hut the largest receipt of cotton for the
northern interior iu now over the Illinois Central
Railroad. It is stated that forty-one cars were
loaded at Cairo with cotton, in a single day of last
week, and 2,000 bales were sent over the whole line
of the road during October, for tho factories of
Western New York. The record of transactions in
cotton is not currently given at St. Louis or Cin
cinnati, as it should be, aad still more important
is the existing neglect to note the direction ship
ments take from Memphis, which is the great cot
ton mart for the production of Teuuessee and part
of Arkansas. The shipments from Memphis for
the week ending October 22d, are dofiuitoly given,
however, and they stand at 7,889 bales to New Or
leans to 4,407 sent northward by river, of which
1,649 bales were sent to St. Louis, and 2,758 to the
Ohio river and Cincinnati. Whether there ari
other shipping ports from which cottou goes north
ward we are not aware, nor whether Kentucky
railroads carry it. Probably 150,000 bales will so
reach the manufacturing establishments of this
city and the country west aud north of us, from
the crop of 1859, siuce 30,000 bales of last year’
crop came to Cincinnati alone. The western con
mercial interests will oblige us by makiug note of
this new trade, and by pushing it with vigor.
A WKALTOY Man.—The New York correspondent
of the Now Orleans Cre*c*ut gives the following
description of George Law:
“It anything dou’t pay, George Law respectfully
drops It. lie now owns nine-tenths of tho Eighth
Avenue Railroad, which alone is au income ot a
prince, and growing more valuable every day.—-
lie alsoowus nearly all the stock ot the Ninth
Avenue Railroad, which, when completed, will run
through Greenwich street to the Ninth Avenuo,
and thence to Marlom river, a nine mile concern.—
Half the ferries belong to Law. lie owns the Dry
Pock Bank, and the bank owns about forty acres
of docks, houses and land, almost iu tho heart of
the city. Law owns the Staten Island ferry boats,
and two miles of water front nearest New York,
that In a few years will be worth for docks—ten
millions. Ue really owns the Flushing Railroad ;
and heaven knows how much more he owns.—
That immense thinking brain keeps accumula
ting. I don't think he goes into largo operations
now for the purpose of making money. 1 think lie
works to kuept-from stagnating. Though not a
^politician, he wields a very powerful infiueuce upon
politics, especially upon local affairs. Moat persous
nave an idea that ho is an old man. No such
thing. Hu is only fifty-one years old, and pos-
sesses one of those vigorous constitutions that will
last him forty-nine years longer.”
Thus is Life.—If we die to-day, tho sun
will shine as brightly and (he birds sing as
sweetly to-morrow. Business will not be
suspended a moment, and the great inass
will not bestow a thought upon our memo
ries. Js he dead? will be the solemn in
quiry of the lew, ns they pass to thoir
work. But no one will miss us except our
immediate connections, and in a short time
they will iorget us, and laugh as merrily
as when we sat beside them. Thus shall
we all, now active in life, puss away. Our
children crowd close behind us, and they
will soon bo gone. In a few years not a
living being can say, “I remember him !”
Wo lived in another ago, and did business
with those who dumber in the tomb.—
Thus ia life. How rapidly it passes!
Labor Yield of Cotton.—We are Informed by
Capt. W. T. Brennan, of the neighborhood of Cal
houn's Mills, that he baa gathered from a single
acre ol cotton the present season 19.10 pounds.—
The variety of cotton is the Boyd Prolific. Who

Infidels in Massachusetts.—The Senate of Mas-
sacbuseUs, on Tuesday, had under discussion an
amendment providing for tho adtnirsion of infidels
to give evidence iu courts of justice. Tho amend

eral Assembly take no action on his Ex
cellency’s recommendation.
There was a bill introduced here, to
grunt Mrs. a divorce, upon which
there sprung up a debate on a point of or
der, whether or not the Legislature could,
should or would entertain such bills. Mr.
President Guerry held that constitutional
questions or objections to bills for consti

the Chair, but by the Senate.
Mr. Briscoe—To Qinend the habeas
corpus Act of this Stale.

Passed.
A mot.oi was made and agreed to that
tlie Senate meet at 3 P. M., to read House
Bills tho first and second lime, which wus
adopted aqd carried into effect this after
noon.
Tho galleries presented a beautifully
spreadingappeurance this morning, all the
ladies thinking the Stato Aid Bill would
excite discussion; but—oh, ladies, I pity
you, and sympathize in your disappoint
ment, bu*. you will all have another oppor
tunity of being looked at and admired—
there will be tulk enough on the motion to
re-consider to-morrow morning.
The democrats held a meeting last night,
and a resolution was adopted calling u con
vention on the 8th of December, to nomi
nate delegates to the Charleston Conven
tion.
Mr. King moved to proceed with the
special order of tho day, which was, he
contended, the State Aid bill.
The State Aid bill hud been made the
special order for yesterday, but had not
•;ome up, owing to the fact that the legis
lature adjourned. The Reduction hi'l wi»3
the special order for to-day, and a few re
marks were made by gentlemen as to
wbfch of the two bills took precedence.
The Chair held that the State Aid bill
was in order, so it was taken up ana read.
Mr. Billups moved an indefinite * post
ponement, which was lost. Yeas 45—nays
65. The reason for this was to cut off dis
cussion, and a scene of considerable in
terest to the parties, pro. and con, en
sued.
Mr. King, to show that ho was us wil
ling to save time and expense as uny of
them, after a few rotnafks, called the pre
vious question, when another highly excit

The Reduction bill, with the amendments
and siibs'.ituies, were referred to a special
committee of 16, one from each Judicial
Circuit, who are to report by bill or other
wise.
HOUSE.
The Reduction hill, which was the
special order, was taken up—(4 Senators
from each Congressional district and 100
Representative districts.)
Thu Committee reported a substitute—
6 Senators from each district, and 152
Representatives, (each county one, and
twenty largest counties two.)
Mr. Delonoy offered to umend by mak
ing 44 Senatorial districts, one Senator
from each to be elected biennially.
Mr. Lewis, of Greenn, objected, both
Senate and House would thus be territori
ally represented.
Mr. Deloney wished one branch to
represent population, but both ihe bill and
substitute failed to do this.
Mr. Lewis thought it impossible on ac
count ol the large number of counties in
Georgia, unless tho reduction were made in
tho House, leaving the Senate the larger
body.
Mr. Fannin, of Morgan, opposed Mr.
Deioney’s amendment.
Mr. Broyles objected to both bills.
The question then was on the adoption
of Mr. Deioney’s amendment, and on call
for u divissi )ii, Mr. Harris opposed the
bill, but was in favor of Mr. Deioney’s
amendment. It always held that the
House should represent population, and it
was not right to make the Senate repre
sent population ; he was willing that the
House should remain os it is now, and
make the Senute represent territory. He
was in favor of having 200 members in
this branch, so that wine parties would not
reach tho Committee of the whole ; there
was in smaller numbers a danger of Yazoo
frauds. Georgia hud a large representa
tive branch, and he believed it the purest
State in the Union.
Mr. Gibson, of Richmond, replied.
Mr. Lewis deplored as much as any one
the fact that, under the circumstances, the
repres* ntatmn by population could not be
carried out because no one here would vote
to deprive each county of one representa
tive, and then giving each county one, and
then lake the basis of the smallest county
and the House would consist of nearly
1,000 members.
Mr. Cullens opposed the amendment.—
We were too full of tho idea of the organi
zation of Congress. The State is not a
federative government, and the counties
are not sovereign, but corporations. We
should disabuse nur minds ot the jealous
ies which we may suppose actuated the
framers of our Federal Government.
Mr. Ely thought we only needed m reduc
tion in the Senate. He was in favor of the
substitute, for it accomplished reduction,
nd consequently economy.
Mr. Anderson was pained to see so much
opposition to the bill of the Committee.
He made a strong appeal to the members,
as Georgians, to come up harmoniously
(burying divisions) to the issue.
Mr. Smith, of Towns, spoke at sdmo
length against tho bills.
Mr. Lewis, of Green, replied. Mr. Har
ris followed. The motion to strike om (he
firat section was carried. Yeas, 85; nays,
42. .
Mr. David’s motion was lost.
On the question of adopting Mr. Delo-
ney’s amendment in iieu of the section
striken out, Judge Gibson made some re
marks, and the amendment was adopted.
Yeas, 84; nays, 46.
Mr. Strickland then moved indefinitely
the whole bill, &c. Lost.
Mr. Goodman moved to amend the 2nd
section, providing that each new county, as
it is formed, have one representative, and
the smallest county having two represen
tatives, lose one.
Mr. Tuggle wanted to know what would
be tho eflect when the 21at new county was
formed.
Mr. Goodman’s amendment was lost.
Yeas, 56; nays, 63;
The Rules were suspended and the Sen
ate Resolution, authorizing the Governor
to purchase arms for the volunteer corps,
adopted.
Adjourned to 3, P. M.
The afternoon sossion was devoted to
reading bills a second time, &c.

The End of the Chapter of Compromi
ses, Concessions and Adjustments-
More ttian thirty yeaesago the first great
struggle between the North and the South
wus commenced by a most flagitious and
unconstitutional attempt to deny, upon va
rious pretexts, the admission into the Union
of a slave Stale. The right of admission
was clear; but it was resisted and denied
by the fanatics of that dav. The opposi
tion to the admission of Missouri was so
flagitious and iniquitous that it afforded a
moat appropriate and judicious opportunity
for the slave States to have taken the same
firm and resolute stand which Virginia did
when her utiitude of resolute defiance in
1798-*99 annihilated the whole fabric of the
old Federal party. Had the slave States
in 1820 demanded, as a right, and insisted
upon the unconditional admisvion of Mis-
souii, and scorned all suggestions and pro
positions for compromise, a manly prece
dent would have been established which
would have saved us from that sea ol
troubles which have since engulfed us.—
But timidity ruled the hour, and that Illiad
of all our woes—that primeval southern
curse—the Missouri Compromise, taught
the North that for temporary poace the
slave States would submit to unconstitu
tional restrictions upon their territorial
rights. Had the South, reckless of conse
quences, when the Missouri Compromise
was proposed, ooldly declared that, whore
clear and palpable constitutional rights
were involved, the South would submit to
no surrenders of her rights, we should
have heard nothing more ol the abolition
of slavery in the terri.ories.
Had we then fearlessly and boldly met
the enemy, appalling as the dangers which
environed us appeared, they would have
venished into thin air. Had we, in 1820,
torn the projel of the Missouri Compro
mise into fragments, trampled them under
foot, and thrust the banner of State rights
into the face of the fanatics ot that day,
they would have fled in dismay. When
dangors not h 98 fearful menaced the Union
in 1798-’99, Virginia erected her armor,
indulged in no blustering, but paralyzed
the Federal party by au exhibition of gen
uine State Rights, indomitable pluck. The
anti slavery party in 1820shoiird have been
treated os Virginia dealt with the Federal
party in >798-'99, und as Nupoleon 1. dealt
with the Paris mobs. Napoleon ploughed
the compact ranks of the mob with canis
ter aud grape shot, filled the street with
dead and dying insurgents, charged them
with ileuth on lus “Pale Horse,” until fear
seized upon every «au culotte in Paris; and
when they were Hying through every side
street, and seeking security in every alley
and cellar of Paris, he tirod volley upon
volley of blank cartridges until order reign
ed in the most lawless of European Bqjti-
mores. Napoleon’s receipt for the cure of
French Plug-Uglyism was like that of Vir
ginia’s cure of Federalism in tho days of
the “Alien and Sedition Laws.” She
built a substantial armory, laid in a good
supply of artillery, muskets and ammuni
tion, prepared the people for the worst, and
then tired her resolutions plump in the face
of the Federal party, with what eflect it U
unnecessary now to describe.
So should the South have inet the first
interference of abolitionism with our ter
ritorial rights. But in 1820 the first
humiliating lines of our long charter of
compromises, concessions and adjust
ments wero written. We replied to an
insulting demand by a surrender ot consti
tutional rights, and sinco that time many
pages of humiliations have been written.
The precedent of 1820 has blighted and
scourged tho South. Like the shirt of
Nesaus, it has proved a constant souice ol
torment und long agony. And after near
ly forty years of concessions, where do wo
stand to-day ? Further from disunion
than in 1820? More capable of defending
nur rights ? Have our concessions strip
ped our enemies of their strength, dis
armed their hostility, or made them loss
insolent ? Is that Promethean vulture of
fanaticism, after its long feast upon the
vitals of the South, now that it is gorged
with territorial spoils, less relentless than
it was in 1820 ? Look back, oh! ye men
of the South, over the long, dreary track
of untimely “concessions” and spolia
tions, utfticr tho guise of “ compromises,”
strewn as it is with the pillage and plun
der of our constitutional right, and tell us
what have ye gained by proclaiming
“ Peace !” Peace !” After all your con
cessions, after all your compromises, fana
ticism to-day is thundering at your gates
mote cruel, more remorsoloss, more
greedy for lawless exactions than in 1820.
By our mistaken policy of peace and
clemency, we have grown weak and our
enemies strong, until we ore menaced
with tho election ol a President whose
doctrines load most inevitably to treason,
insurrection and murder, and pillage of
slaveholders.
It is unnecessary to enter Into an elaborate ar
gument to show bow pernicious and suioldal bavo
boeu all of our concessions to fanaticism. W e will
not weary our readers with a recital of what mock-
erlea all thope laws for our “protection” have been,
in exchange for which we have dedicated an omplre
to freesoii “compromises,” like, for Instance, that
when the South gave California for a fugitive aiave
law.
“Peace,” “narmony” and “union” have been the
potent and resistless arguments with which the
repo tted acquiescence of the Slave States, lu swin
dling “compromises,” has been obtalued. When
ever a portion of the Hutu Rights party has made
a gallant stand and faced the enemy, sternly re
solved not to retreat an Inch further, the scare
crow of “Disunion” has painted aa hideous a mon-
Hter as a negro preacher limns the devil for the
benefit ol bis congregation, has been coujurod up
to frigbteu us Into a most reluctant approval of
delusive “compromises." And how has this chap
ter of Unlon-preserviug compromises ended ? As
their advocates predicted t Have they protected
“harmony,” “oonoord” and “peace,” and strength
ened the bonds of the Union between the North
and the South t Nobody has the audacity to say
that they have-—the most audacious compromise-
monger cannot muster sufficient effrontery to say
that they have done an j thing of the aort.
To the contrary, we have the hldeoua doctrino
of the ‘'irrepressible conflict” aa the appropriate
“finis” to the last pnge of the chapter of compromi
ses. Wo have yielded all the demands of the an
ti-slavery party for nearly forty years, we have at
last reached the vjry bottom of the “Slough of
Despond,” and, In return lor these forty years of
onnoesslooM, Seward and the Blaok Republicans
propose, for our float contemplation, the “irre
pressible conflict.” ......
Thus ends our long dream of subduing •‘Aboil-
ttonism” by means of peace and “concession.”—
After we have been stripped of almost everything
by “compromises” and “adjustments,” Howard,
with an almost unbroken phalanx of free States at
his back, proposes a “final adjustment” of the agi
tation of silvery by sutyectlng the Institution to
the test of the “Irrepressible conflict;” and John
Drown selects Virginia a^the theatre for a practi
cal enforcement of bis understanding of the last
phase of Sewardlam.
US' Kit Carson, thugreat frontier-man,
had a narrow escape from being hilled by
the Ute Indiana in a recent row between
that tribe and the Mexicans, Kit happening
to be in company with the latter. An In
dian bad leveled a rifle at hia braaat, and
would have fired and killed hint, but for
the intercession of a squaw.
COMMERCIAL RECORD.
Weekly Review or the Market*
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. S4, 1869.
COTTON—Arrived since Nov. 18 (the date of our
last circular,) of Uplands, per Central Railroad,
18.984 bales; ft om Augusta and landings on the river,
181 biles; and 188 bales by the Albany A Qulf Road-
total Uplands, 19,807 bales; of Sea Islands, ZiObagM,
of which 00 bags were received by »ho Albany A
Oulf Road. The exports during the week were: To
Liverpool, 9.83J bales Uplands aud St bags Rea
Islands ; to Boston, 940 bales Uplands; to N. York,
1786 baled Uptantis, and to Charleston, 041 bales
Uplands—making a total of 18,171 bales Uplaudn
and 81 bag* Boa Islands, leavtug a stock on hand
and on shipboard, not cleared, ef 66,7*9 bales
Uplands and 1.949 bogs Rea Islands, against 9.1.280
bales Uplands and 1,068 bags Realllands, at tha
same time last year.
We have scarcely anything to say about the mar
ket this week. Our last circular closed on a heavy
week's business, at firm an I advanced prices—
holders tn some Instances, toward! tho close of the
week, inetstttig on concessions but buyers refusing
to make them. Throughout the week under re-
v'ew the market has been very quiet, and sales
have been Inconsiderable. The absence c t shipping
and the advance In freights has had conslderabls to |
do with b inging about tbla result, buyers being
unwilling to enter the market until they can sbtp
more readily and on better terms. For several
days past there haa been scarcely any demand, and
so little has beeu done that we think it best not to
offer quotations Most of our holders are firm at
old quotations, while none show a willingness to
sell at k dec.lne, except In obedience to orders. To
effect sales, however, we thic k freni K to de
cline would have to be fubmltted to.
