Dr. Kate# on Slavery.
T^hia little volume purports to boa Defence
of Negro Slav.ory.na it extols in the United State*.
Dr. Estes, the nutlior, to now in this City, with
a view of extending the circulation of his book.
As wo havo not yot had an opportunity of po
ruaing it, wo refor our reader* to tho following
from a New Orleans paper before ua.
Dr. Estes on Slavery.—We aomo time since
called attention to tins work, and apoke of it*
merits as it deserved. It gives us ploosuro to no
tice tho favor with which tho book has boeit ro^
coived in diilerent parts of the country. In Ala
bama and Mississippi it has had a great run, unu
a Louisiana planter of high intelligence, expres-
es the opinion to us, that itisa work of raro abil
ity and should be oxteusivoly circulated. Ifany
tiuui, of ordinary intelligence, will but read the
defence of Slavery as it exists in the South,from
the pen of Dr. Estes, ho will bo ready effectually
to grapple in argument with any misguided fa
natic he may meet. Every planter at least, should
possess a copy of it.
G’lny’s Position boforo tho Notion!
Tho aigm of tho political horoscope for some
months past have conclusively shown that,howev
er much tho ullogiunce of Ute Whig party to Air
Clay may have wavered under the impressions
made by the brilliant achievements of Gen. Tay
lor in the field, it would finally return to its idol
with oven more than its wonted devotion. His
summer excursion to the North, whether made
for the purpose of recovering his health, or with
the object of feeling tho pulse of his northern sup
porters, must have furnished abiindnnt evidence
to his mind thutlie stood first and foremost in the
afiectioiiB of tho Whigs. If ambition had been
dead ill his bosom,the enthusiastic reverence he re
ceived would have warmed it again into fife—if hut
an ember glimmered still upon“tlio henrtli-stono of
his heart,” it must hovo been fed und funned into
Hume. In addition to this personal homnge.pnid
him wherever he went, and which lie said that “a
King or an Emperor” could scarcely expect, tho
Whig Journal* of the country, North and South,
East and West,'with but few exceptions, have
spoken of him in such unqualified terms of devo
tion us have clearly evinced that hi* day hud not
yet passed.
After such indication of feelings ns those we
have just mentioned, and innumerable others less
goncrul in their character, an expression of opin
ion and sentiment from Air. Clay became a mat
ter of controlling importance. The course of
Wing policy in reference to the war nnd tho ques
tions springing therefrom, was not clearly defin
ed. Confiicting opinions evidently existed be
tween different portions of the party. The great
measures which furnished ihc connecting links
in tho lust Presidential campaign, wo mean the
tarilF of ’42, nnd opposition to tho annexation of
Texas, were wholly divested of their power.
New issues were before the country. It was not
difticult to form a general idea of tho ground to
bo ussutned by tho Whigs; but it requirod a com
mander’s direction to plnco them in position.—
Webster spoke at Springfield, and the Springfield
Convention nominated him for the Presidency,
but with all his power of intellect, Wcbstor hue
never led tho Whig party of tho nation. All eyos
were naturally turned to “ Harry of tho West,”
niul it i« but raueoimblo to believe, that lYunr nil
quarters of tho Union, streams of letters have
poured upon him, urging tho necessity of his
counsel, hi* direction, and his re-assumption of
the cominnml-iii-chiof of the Whig party. Dan
gerous houinge this to bo puid to an ambitious
man! Yet who doubts that it has been paid, and
it* fruits are now given to tho world.
Mr. Clay is again a candidate for the Presitlon-
■. Once inoro has it become all-important for
him to harmonize the feelings and to concentrate
the action of the universal Whig party of the na
tion. How was this to bo effected I Wluit springs
was it importunt to touch 1 Whom was ho to
court—whom to contemn 1 He looked to the
slave-holding States of the West. Kentucky was
his us a matter of course. Tennessco wns deba
table ground. In both of these States slave pro
perty has been rapidly sinking in value. Little
or nothing wus to ho hoped, under nny circuui
stances, from the othor States of the Southwest;
and of the Southern States proper, Georgia and
North-Carolinu were the only two which he could
expect, by any conceivable combination of acci
dents, tn**—td.vS. ,oiv» ior Inm. Of these,
North-Carolina has been so long buried in the
Rip Van Winkle slumber of Whiggcry, that
there was but little probability of her awukiug
to danger ami insult, until it was too late to
ward oil* tho one or to redress the other, nnd
in Georgia tho Whig party with Berrien at it*
liend, tho Southern Senator who hnd tolerated
Webster's nbuso of Southern institutions, who
had proclaimed in tho United States Senate that
the North must grow strong, and tho South must
grow weak, nnd that tho latter must submit, and
who had finally framed nnd introduced the notori
ous “No-morc-lcrritory” resolution—in Georgia,
we say, the Whig party with Berrien nt its
head curried a majority of tho Legislature, aud
thereby secured hi* re-election. Moreover tho
experience ofthe past hndshown thuttiio Whigs,
ofGeorgia could rapidly shift from ouo point of
the political compuss to its opposite, in the hope
of being part and pnrcol of a dominant party, nnd
could tolerate principles and submit to insults un
heard of by their fathers, with, the view of secur
ing Uiis much to bo wished for consummation.
There was nothing therefore to be lost in Geor
gia by nuy course ho might sea proper to pur
sue.
Ho looked to tho mighty East, North nnd North
west. Is it strange that their voice was potential I
Is it marvellous that the greatest political gambler
ofthe ago should have thrown hisenrd to pander
to their prejudices aud to secure their support!
lie perceived the Whig party, in solid phulaux,
occupying n position at once hostile to the true
glory of tho nation, anil threatening wrong, con*
tuinoly, and oppression to tho South. He saw
that a considerable portion of the Democracy in
tho Empire State had cut itself loose from the true
party, nnd assumed a similar ground with the
Whigs. It was but reasonable for him to believe
that throughout tho non-slnvo-holdingStutes there
would lie u strong faction ofthe Democratic par
ty opposed to the viows of its leaders on thoWilmot
Proviso. What an opportunity wa* before him
By a master move ho could concentrate upon him-
sulftho whole ofthimuightysupport,whilohecould

darkness and despair, should bo opened before a

Union! What though the mad spirit of Northern
prejudice should fatten nnd riot on the corrupt
broad ho offered! What though the true glory
of the nation should bo clouded, nnd our triumph
ant eagles be withdrawn, with drooping pinions,
from the blood bought conquests of Mexico !

tently ho watches the board. v In his fixed, agonis

disappointments mingled with tho Btings of a re
proving conscience. It speaks of mighty power

a singlo hope! Tho hopo is fixed on tho board

MILLEDGEVILLF., Nov. 19, 1847.
GciUleinou—Yesterday, in tho Semite, Alr.Sim-
tuons, reported n hill to prescribo tho time, place
and manner of holding elections for Senators to
represent this Stute in the Congress of tho Uni
ted States. Tho object of this bill, seems to be,
to solve the difficulty respecting tho late election
of the second United States’ Senator, and to give
theffpower which the protostmits deny to exist.
Mr. Duimgnu reportod n bill to prescribo how
the laws and resolutions of this State shall be com
piled and arranged.
Mr. Snider reported a bill to incorporate tho
Chatham Artillery.
Tho Senate concurred in the resolution ofthe
House of Representatives, in relation to Mr.
Whitney's project to connect the Atlantic and Pa
cific Oceans by moans of a railroad, and appoint
ed a Committee on tho part of tho Sonute, con
sisting of Alessrs. Wales. Glenn, and Clayton.
Mr. Dunagnn, from tho Committeo on Ferries
and Bridges, reported iu substance, that tho es
tablishing ferries nnd bridge* are not proper sub
jects of legislation—that power having boon con
fided to the Inferior Courts—which ought not to
bo interfered with, unless under very peculiar
circumstances—which was agreed to.
Mr. Terrell, from the Committee on Internal
luiprovunient, made a report on tho petition of
Jlcv. Georgo White, authorizing III* Excellency
tho Governor to subscribe for 250 copies of his
Natural and Statistical History of Georgia—
which was agreed to.
From the Judiciary Committeo, touching the
resolution to inquire what further enactments ure
necessary to carrry tho 18th sec. of tlio 1st article
of tlio Constitution into effect. Air. Wales re
ported, that if the lfttli sect, of the sumo article i*
iusulficieut, any additional legislative enactment
will be inuffoctual nnd poworloss.
I notice tlio passage of a bill to atneud tlio Otli
section of thuftd article of the Constitution.
Another, requh-ing Clerks of Courts in this
State to record Coustublcs’ Bonds, nnd declaring
certified copies thereof testimony in certain cases.
Sovernl other bills wore passed, all of u per
sonal or local nuturc.
Tlio lloiiso of Representatives wns literally
flooded yosterday with now Bills, Resolutions,
nnd Report* introduced, much being of consid
erable interest. From tho vast mass I glean the
following, iu which your reader* may feel inter
ested.
Tlio Resolutions introduced by Air. Freeman
relative to the measure* of the General Govern
ment, on motion of Air. Harris of Baldwin, were
refUricd »/i tlio Committeo on the State ofthe
Republic.
Mr. Tift introduced a Bill to change tho pen
alty of death for crimes committed by free white
persons, to imprisonment and labor in the Peni
tentiary for life.
Air. Harris of Baldwin—To amend an act to
give “all persons employed on Steatn Boats and
other Water Crafts, a lieu on them for wages,
aud for wood, provisions, Sic. &c. assented to
December 11,1841 ;” so ns to include nil lions on
personal property. Also, to revive anil amend
the act to incorporate the Milledgevillo Rail Ilond
Company, assented to Dec. 25,1837.
Mr. Clark introduced a Bill to amend nn act,
to amend and consolidate the several acts of force
relating to tlio power* aud privileges ofthe Cor-
portion of tho City of Savannah, assented to
Dec. 24,1825. Aud, also, to amend nn act to ni
ter the times for the election of Mayor and Alder
men of tho City of Savannah.
Mr. Bartow—A Bill to authorise an increase
of tlio Capital Stock of the Alarine and Fire In
surance Bank of the State of Georgia. Also, by
Mr. Williamson, to incorporate the Etowah Hail
Road Company, in Cass, Ciierokoe, and other
counties.
Air. Dnrnnll lias commenced the war upon Alil-
ledgeville, by introducing a Bill to remove tho
scat of Government to the Town of Atlanta, in
tlio county ofDeKulb; and to provide for tlio ex
pense ofthe same. It is barely possible, surely
not nt ull probable, that such a scheme can be so-
riously entertained by a majority of the Legisla
ture. In viow of the large amount of public
property necessary to bo abandoned, nnd the c-
nornioiis expense to be incurred, it is inconceiva
ble that n body of intelligent men can be so blind,
to tho true interest of their Constituents, a* to
pass such a bill. If, however, the project should
find favor in tlio sight of the General As
sembly, the bill should be amended to include the
removal of tho Penitentiary. Let them go to
gether.
On tlio bill to enlarge tlio jurisdiction of Jus
tices' Courts to fifty dollars, an ndverse report
wus nnauiuiously made by the Committee.
A report favorable to the bill regulating Justi
ces’ Courts in Suvniinali.
Also, au unfavorable report on tho hill reglna-
ting Peace Warrant*; also oil tho bill to point
out the mode for tlio collection of rent, Arc., in
Savannah.
A favorable report wns made outlie hill forreg-
ulnting the trial of slaves and free person* of col-
or in tho city of Savannah.
Air. Bartow introduced a resolution, referring
tlie controversy between the State of Georgia
and Mr. James Ilolford, to a select Coinmittoe.
Air. Clark introduced a momoria) of AI. S.
D’Lyon, which was referred to a special Commit
tee, consisting or Messrs. Clark, Phillips, and
Harris of Talliaferro.
Air. Tift introduced a hill to incorporate tlio
Savannah and Albany Railroad Company, & c .
I havo not been ablo to obtain access to cither
of those bills, ns yet, nnd really tho succession of
now important matter continues so to crowd the
Journals, that what come* up to-dny obliterates
the memory of what wns done yesterday, or rather
leaves no time for a rocurrcuco to them. Whilo
upon this topic, I desire to be understood as not
intending to insinuate aught in derogation of tho
accommodating spirit of the Clerk* in either
branch of tho Legislature. It is due them to shy
thnt I havo received every facility for gathering in
formation from their offices, in their power to af
ford, nnd that cheerfully, in the boBt spirit, and
with an impartiality worthy of all praise.
Indeed, I see not how it could ho carried to a
greater extent than it is, without arresting tlio
progress of business in each House. There
are somo six or eight reporters for different news
papers in attendance, nnd na the Journal* can
not bv divided, it consequently nim-t happen from
the operation ofthh JMiUeiJ* .We, “first comoffirst
served,” that soq^o will havo to wait until otlici
arb through. It impede* me kunetimes, yet I do
not complain; for I feel uiidq obligation W tho
Clerks, especially Crawfid, and Alr.poyaii:
ofthe Senate, for their prompt nnd kind compli
ance with my frequent application' for the peru-
salof documents. I have for twenty years been
fomiliar with these proceedings, and have never
seen among Clerks /Roro stqdious effort* to ac
commodate and give satisfaction. .
Jiespoctfttlly, yours,
AMANUENSIS.
Protest* '
The following is the protest alluded to by our
Milledgevillo correspondent in his letter of the
18th iust.
We tho undersigned a part of tho minority, thnt
opposodtho passage of ft Joint Resolution of both
branches of t.io Leigslature, bringing on tho elec
tion of United States Senator, to fill tliu vacancy
to bo occasioned by the expiration ofthe term of
service ofthe Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, ou
tlio Third of March, 1849; in discharge ofa solemn
duly we owe our constituents, *nd fit the exorcise
of an undoubted right we have) do protest against
tho passago of said Resolution and now declare
tlio reasons that influence us.
We hold Resolutions ofa .business character
in Legislative 'Assemblies, art two-fold, initiative
and executive. Tho ouo nukes calls for infor
mation, raises committees and prepares business
for Legislative action. The other carries iuto
practical life,’laws aud enactments, that otherwise
would he dead and inoperntivo. The first pre
pares materials for Legislative action, the latter
curries it out They are not Laws; yet, tho one
is necessary to the makitig oftuws in tho Genorul
Assembly, and the other it ossential to the execu
tion oftheui.bytho Genenl Assembly.
The Resolution under consideration, is of tlio
latter character. It is exuuitivo, and mustbopru-
dicutedon the Constitution either federal or State
or some existing law in pursuance of them. If
it bo not au executive .Resolution, then it is a
Law, and should Imvo pawed through tlio ordeal
of other Legislative enactments, tills it hus not
done ; then, os u law it isclearly unconstitutional.
We will now consider it as au executive Resolu
tion and enquire if it cun ta predicated on tho Con
stitution of the United States, Georgia, or any
Statuto, in pursuance ofthein. The first enquiry ,
thou is, can it be based oil the Constitution of
the United States ; if sa tho question is at an
ond. The Constitution says ; "The Senate of
tho United State* shall le composed of two Sen
ators from euch Stato, slmsou by tho Legisla
tures thereof for six yeirs.” Then again, iu tlio
fourth Section nnd first Article, thnt “tho times,
place* and manner of hiding elections for Sen
ators and Representative, snail bo prescribed iu
each Stato by the Legislature thereof.” We see
above, that two Sonutnr* shall be chosen by the
Logislnturo of eacli State—and again, that the
times, places, and manner of choosing them, shall
be prescribed by tho Legislatures.—How it shall
be prescribed, irf an important enquiry . Cer
tainly it never wus contemplated bv tlio framers
of tho Federal Constitution, that the connecting
fink betwoenthe Sovereignity ofthe States, aud
the Federal Government should he filled up, oth
or thuu by permanent Law. Tho times, places,
und manner ofholding election*, are circumstan
ces of tlio highest importance, in tho purity, pre
servation nud perpetuation of our Government;
tlioy are the channels by which tho Sovereignity
ofthe people, and of tho States, are transferred
for limited tortus to their public functionaries.—
These circuni8tauces lmvo beeti, and ever will bo
considcred'Of paramount importance in the exer-
ciso ofthe elective Franchise; on tho manner,
purity, and certainty of which, depend this great
Structure of human Iiborty.
Wo ennuot bulievo a simple Resolution sprung
up on tlio spur of tlio occasion, without tlio forms
of law, can ingraft in itself, theso clement* of tho
Elective Franchido, and in tlio short space of hulf
au hour, divest a Statu of her sovereign will, aud
vest the exercise of her power iu other hand*.
Again—not only tho tunes, places nud munuer
of electing Senators, hut ulso of Representatives,
shall bo prescribed by tlio Stato Legislature*.
How preposterou* nud ridiculous the idea of an
honorable Senator, rising in his place, and pro-
oo.itinir n reunlntimi.nstjihlUhinrr thr» tiinos nlnnn«
and manner ofholding elections for Jtepresentu-
tivea in Congress; and vet, it is not more ridicu
lous than establishing these circumstuuccs, in re
lation to tho Election of U. S. Senator. The
only difference is, the one election is by tlio peo
ple, the other by tlio Legislature; the opening an
election by the proper oliicor at tho different 1're-
cincts, accomplishes all, tlmt should be accom
plished by a JaitU Resolution, bringing on an
election ill the Represcutivochamber.—The ono
is ns powerless to make law, as tho other,—yet
both ure all important in the execution of existing
laws.
But again: Tlio Federal Constitution reserves
tho right to Congress, at any timo by law to
make, or alter such regulations except a* to the
place of choosing Senators.
Tho Term, Regulation* imports a thing, per
manent, fixed in existence, that may bo altered,
amended, or abrogated; a rule established, that
nmy.be changed; not »n evanescent Resolution,
that to-day is,and to-dny is not, thut Hashes meteor
like for a moment athwart tho political horisou,
then sinks to rise tio more. Tho regulations
meant wore laws, wiich may be alterod, amend
ed, abrogated nnd their place supplted by laics,
not resolutions pfCougress, regulating the times,
and manner, of holding elections. It appears to
us from the above positions, thnt said Resolution,
cannot be based,on tiie Federal Constitution.
Tho next enquiry to be inn do,is this Resolution
predicution on the Constitution of Georgia? To
the most superficial observer, it is nppurent thnt
the Federal Constitution recognizes three distinc
tive character of rights, and their corelative ob
ligations, tlio right* of the people, the rights of
tho Stales, and the rights of tho United State*.—
To preserve a proper equipoise of these rights, is
the beauty,a* it is the snieguurd ofourjRepublicnu
institutions. The Section heretofore quoted re
cognizes the right to prescribo tho times, places,
aud manner of holding elections for Senators and
Representatives to existin the Legislature, and no
where else—And holding as we do, to the literal
and express provisions tf thnt instrument, thero
it must remain, until assumed by Congress under
the Constitution. The Constitution of Georgn
was adopted,eleven yoari after tho Federal Con
stitution, aud the Delegates to tho Convention
framing it, could not lmva been ignorant of the
provisions of tlmt iustrunent, which conferred
explicitly tho right uuderconsideration to tho State
Legismturcs-with that knowledge they did not,and
could not ingraft into their organic Jaw, powers
already vested by the federal Constitution in
ono oi the co-ordinato Departments of tho Gov-
emmentthey were nboutto institute—again, that
august Convention, would [not lmvo adopted in
tlio Constitution, a power of which they were
lmblo to bo divested, nt the mooting of tlio first
Cnugrcs* after thoir adjournment.
It nevor was intended that those regulations
should bo made by the people in their primitive
or conventional character, but by the State* in

fijjfds tho election of Scnutors, whoso responsi

Saturday, Nov. 1ft, 1847. ]
The announcement tlmt HeuryClay would ad
dress the citizen* of Lexington to-day, drew to
gether nn immense cuncourse. Thu duy opened
gloomily enough, and rain fell during tiie morn
ing, but beforo the meeting was organized it had w .
cleared sufficiently to permit the meeting to he u
hold at the timo appointed-eleven o’clock, A. AI.
At tlmt hour a vast crowd had gathered from
all quarters, and it appeared tlmt many come a
great distance—the moat intense anxiety prevail
ed, und tho accustomed enthusiasm, which Mr.
Clay invariable awakens in tho people, was every
where manifested. Tho Prophet that lmd fore
told tho war, was to answer tho yearning desire of
the natiou, to know how the unholy war, whose
advout hud boon prophesied,should be brought to
n close—how the country should protect it
self from tho recklessness of a blindly ambitious
and weak-minded President—and tho will ofthe
nation be made known iu its most impressive
form. All seemed to feel that it was a deeply im
portant ovent tlmt would stir tho Union from ouo
end to tho other—and it was iu tlmt spirit they
awaited the advent of tho Sage of Ashland.
Mr. Clay ascended tho platform, accompanied
by Bonie of his friends, amid universal and treincn-
ou* shouts, and took his scat. He looked well,
auil hi* form wa* erect, and hi* eye us bright a*
over.
Here your Reporter must mention a circum
stance which wifi fully account for the- simple
sketch of the speech which follow*. Mr. Clay
observing your Reporter seated ut a table, with
punier, pens aud ink before him, ready to make a
ror, a Kins! Yon A givo to onq min a power
A the constitution never contemplated. .
Mr. Clay contratfed to dilate at considerable
Ieugth unon this topifc, expressing it ju his con
viction that Congress should declare‘at tho dbm-
ina session, what dtp the objects, of the war, and
what should be the conditions of peace. If the
President then remuiit opposed to a treaty uplln
thq terms prescribed, there wns a way by which
oven he could bo reached; and bo mudo to feel
that the peoples’will governed : ho meant by im
peachment. Mr. Clay said he was opposed on-
tjrelytp annexing Mexican territory. One hulf of
tho millions ofacres wo had ulready we did not want.
IfCongress would be pacified with cortain limits
establishing where they conceded, tlio proper
bo -ndarius of Texas, he did not believe the l’.o-
indent would refuse to accede tq their wishes—
he was already half tired of the war, and would
doubtless bo glad enough to adopt any plans by
which peaco would bo restored. As to uny dif
ficulty which would occur in settling a bouudury
lino, ho would bo willing to undortuko in sixty
hour* to secure thoir co-operation. Tho truth
was, Mr. Polk imagined, whoii Matatuoros fell,
tho Mexicans would succumb. Such has bueu
tiie -expectation after evory battle; hut now, oven
when wo ure in tho hall* of tho Moutozunuia, wo
appear to bo as fov as ever from our object. Ho
referred to the Spnuish character as evidenco, in
tiieir struggles for 800 years with tho Moqrs in
Spuiu. Ho spoko of tho absurdity of asking in
demnity for our losses, ofa people who lmd notli-
ing to give us. As to annoxing, he considered it
would be little short of madness to iutroduco eight
or nine millions of people, speaking a different
language, aud possessing a different religion,
amongst us, to assist in governing our Republic.
Suppose, said he, they would not choose to semi
delegates, can wo appoint them ? Would that ho
carrying out our Constitution, which declares that
evory citizen shall havo a voice in governing him
self?
Mr. Clay avowed himself to he strongly op
posed to the extension of Sluvory, deplored its ex
istence, hut remarked it as a universal evil, lie
considered tho refusal to uccent new territory us
tho best means of arresting the difficulties thut
surrounded this important hut delicate subject.
The speech occupied two hours und a hulf in
jts delivery, nnd tho foregoing is but a sketch of
its most important points. The speaker adhered
very closoiy to his resolutions, nud they embodied
all tlio great principle* which he advocated and
discussed. Tho resolutions
acclamation.

Si,per,Hr Court ut Milledgevillo, „„ BS M , J"
vemlter, 1847 U,« foliowlug rule tviu, adop^'!'’'

was opposed to nny stenographic report or his
speech being taken, ns ho had boon so frequently
misrepresented. It xcas his intention to have his
remarks printed under his men suucreision, nnd lie
would then furnish copies to all. Iu vain your
reporter remonstrated against this decision, and
oftored to submit his note* to his supervision be
fore sending to Philadelphia by the express in
waiting—tiie determination could not bo changed
—and Air. Clay declared that if the intention to
report hi* intended remarks was persisted in, ho
would not speak at all. Under theso circum
stance*, your reportor was obliged to content him
self with the heads of tiie speech he is confident
he 1ms faithfully transmitted. *"
Gen. Leslie Comb* called tho assemblage to
order, and remarked tlmt lie hoped perfect order
and silence would bo observed, n* it wns proba
bly the last time tlio illustrious statesman, then
beforo them, would ever nddresa n popular as
sembly. Ho had resolved to do it on this occa
sion, from a high sense of duty to himself nnd his
country. Tho momentous question now pre
sented to the American people, of annexation by
conquest, or purchase, of an immense extent of
forcigu territory, inhabited by millions of peo
ple of different races and colors, and placing diem
on an equal footing with the free citizens of this
republic, permitted no man who loved his coun
try to remain silent, and Henry Clay would bo
unworthy of his past history if ho allowed any
selfish consideration* to palsy his tongue. He
had rather be right than bo President!
Gen. Couihs concluded his remurks by nomi
nating the Hon. Air. Rohiusou us chairman, and
♦bn 4-S-4I.O- «..!*). (l-ao or o oatloi
derublo number of vice president*, wus confirm-
cd by acclamation. The meeting being thus ful
ly organized,
Air. CLAY arose and predented himself to tho
people. Ilis appearance was hailed us before
with tremendous shouts, to which followed a
deep and general silence, nud he then offered
and reud the following resolution*, which he lmd
prepared.
[Tlio resolutions appeared in tlio Georgiuu of
Saturday.]
In' the commencement of his remarks upon
these resolutions, Air. Clay ngain stated his ob
jection* to having them reported, and made gen
erally known until they hnd undergone his own
supervisions, us tiie subject upon which ho was
about to spenk, wns one upon which ho wished
not to Iio misunderstood. lie then proceeded
to compare the gloomy state ofthe weather to the
present condition of the country. Wo are now
lie said, engaged in n bloody war, thut most des
olating of terrors, which, when associated with
pestilence nnd famine, wns placed in tho foremost
rank. Many person* hud compared tho oppo
nents of tlio present war with tlioso who lmd op
posed the war of!812 with Great Britain, but he
denied thnt such a comparison was just. Iu 1812
the war wns one which originated on our part
from tlio aggressions of England. It was a war
whose object* were most emphatically and truly
summed up in these few words, “Free Trade
and Sailor’s Rights.” We sought to defend our
sailors from being dragged from otii* ships, ami
being compelled to fight against their country ; it
wns n war by which m amity with one another,
we sought to preserve our rights upon tho high
seas, nud not to allow Great Britain to sweep us
off. This was a war of tlio people—they willed
it, nnd they were ill favor of its Being carried on.
He spoke from actual knowledge, when lie sta
ted tliut Mr. Madison was personally opposed to
the war of 1812. IIow would tho present war
contrast with thut ? For what object was it de
clared? It wns created by tlio net of Air. Polk,
ratified, it is true, by the act'of Congress. It
was created in consequence of tho order of the
President to General Tuylor to march upon tlio
Rio Bravo, to a point opposite Alutntuoros. Tiie
President acted thus while Congress was in ses
sion, without consulting thnt body; when, how
ever, supplies wore askod for our army, and it*
dangerous condition stated, Congress voted, Whigs
und all, land in this they did us he would have
done,) the necessary supplies. But they were
wrong; and never, so help him God, would lie
have done so—they were wrong in voting for
what they knew to ho a lie, that Die war existed
by tho net of .Mexico. So groat was his regard
for truth, tlmt sooner than subscribe to such n
falsehood, ho would lay down life itself. They
liud been warned when tlio annexation of Tex
as wns first mooted, tliut if they took Texas
tlioy would have to take her wars. The assertion
was hooted nt; no such fears, it wns declared,
need be entertained; it was said the boundaries
could all bo amicably settled. What, however,
wa* Die fact 1 Was not tho present war tiie con-
sequenco of a boundary dispute ? At the very
time when otir army was ordered to march into
Alntamoros to take possession of tho disputed
boundary, Air. Slidell was on his way to the city
But if wo are wrong in this position, tho times of Mexico to enter into negotiations for the set-
of holding election* i* not prescribed in the Con-
f holding election* is not prescribed in tho Con
stitution. The most important act to be done, es-
pecmljy as regards Senators, iu this particular—
there i* nothing in tiie Constitution to predicate
tins resolution upon. We do not hold that a pnr-
Uculur. day, week, or month, should have been
f irescribeu, but some session of tlio Legislature
eavmg tiie day to bo set apart by tiie executive
action of a Joint Resolution.
The remaining enquiry, whether tills Resolu
tion is based on any Statute law of tlio State, may
bo readily nnawored. There is no Statute upon
which to predicate it; it is sprung into existence
without nny constitutional law to support it. In
tho caso before us, it has prescribed tho time, place
nnd manner ofholding the election, executed its
own prescriptions and settled and determined re
sults, all, by virtue of its own inherent powers.
In addition to tho above considerations we ob
ject to the unfitness of the time proposed in the
Resolution, because of tho remoteness of tho va
cancy that is to occur. We do not hold beenuso
it is inconvenient or expensive to do right, there
fore we should do wrong. No Honorable Sena
tor in his private relations, would be willing, so
irrevocably to hind himself to his neighbor He
might change his mind, his neighbor might change
his character Is our obligation to do right less
to tlio people than to ourselves, .
Ill concfusion we hold tho time ofelecting Sen
ators, should correspond with the expiration of
their emiee, and that two Senators ought not to
tlement of Dio question. Why not have waited
until Mr. Slidell's mission had been fulfilled ? It
had been stated, over aud over again, that tlio
Whigs were the enemies ofthe country for speak
ing against tho war—that they had deserted her.
Wus this the case ? Have not Die Whig* been as
prominent in figlitingon the bloody fields of Mex
ico a* tho Democrat*? Have they not spilled
Uioir blood ns freely.
War now exist*, but we have made no declara
tion of the objects of that war; it therefore be
hooves Congress to declare what are? the objects,
nud upon wnnt term* the war with Alexico will
cease. In monarchies, the war making power is
vested in the king—-in this country it rests with
the people, Dirough their representatives in Con
gress. TUia ia distinctly avowed in the Constitu
tion. It i* true the President has the power of
making treaties, but they are always formed upon
an act or resolutions of Congress. He referred
to Die resolution regarding reciprocity, and
upon which some ten' or dozen treaties have
since been founded. Ilj therefore, in such
comparatively unimportant subjects ns trade and
commerce, the President takes his instructions
fVom thelpeople, how much stronger is tiie argu
ment when applied to Die promulgation of
war. If it remains silently with the Presi
dent, when war i* . once declared, to say what
are its objects and when it shall stop, then'may

regarding its relation to Aledical Science. CAN

it unhesitatingly m the ntfirnmtive. Galvanism
has been found of Die utmost advantage in ninny
diseases, nnd thu beneficial results with which its
application has been followed ill numerous and
most ufilicting eases, are described ns apparently
miraculous. When every means has been tric'l
without success, nml the last lingering ray of Hope
ha* departed, the wretched sutierer has been res
tored through its infiuence to comparative health,
comfort uud happiness. The Diet is peculiarly
applicable to those terrible and prevalent disor
ders called.Ycrrows Complaints, in which medicine
is ofso feeble avail: being often entirely useless—

“I, the undersigned, without the least liesitulinir
do feel warranted in asserting that the Galvanic

very valuable properties, particularly in enses of
Spinal Complaints, Spasmodic Contractions, ami
Irritations ofthe Nerves, also in cases of Apoplntf
and Epileptic Fils. They have beeti used by tunny
of my patient*, who have received essential bene
fit from them. I have conversed with many wlm

them, especially in Rheumatic affections. ThaU
not unlikely,n* lUiciiiimtisin is certainly a diseaw
of tiie nervous character, uud it is in some myste

ticles ia owing. Although,! cannot explain the
rationale of the henufit of Christie’s invention*,
still so many authentic cases lmvo conic under

give in—for “seeing is believing.” The scieiif*
