spirited and long. Its passagn was contested
inch by inch, and continued (with a recoss to din

till to-morrow, without deciding tho fate of tho
bill. It* chief opponents woro gentlemen from
tho up country, who laboured with industry and

deficient in zeal and oloquonce. The interests of

cannot separate them—was ablv advocated by
Mr. Bartow, and the talents of Mr. Sponkor Juu-

I four Air. Forman’s remark tho other day in
the Senate, that there was no fanaticism nt tlio
South, will be refuted by the above movement.
It is but a second edition oftho attempt made
years ago, to stop llio mails oil Stiuday, and shows
thnt tiie spirit of fanaticism is not locked up in
frozen climes. Tlio gallant Richard M: Johnson
of Kentucky,gave it then a Tccumseh coup dr.grace
—nud l trust kindred spirits will bo found iu our
General Assembly sullicioiit to oxpol it from our
hulls of Legislation. Stop the operatlou -of the
locomotives! ns well attempt to arrest tlio roll of
old Ocean’s waves, or bring lo anchor the ships
Hunting on its mighty bosom. I recommend eve

procure und re«d u copy of Col. Johnson's unan
swerable report upon a kindred subject. The

Imyoboeu tho controlling spirit of the assembly,
who introduced the resolutions adopted on the
occasion, and delivered an "eloquent and stirring
speech," during the course of his remarks made'
use of tho following language. After dcnyiug
that there wo* an^ prqfit to bo gained for tho na
tion by the Mexican war, ho observed t *■ ■
“One profit, indoed, was to come IVom tho war.
according to the authority of tlio President, and
that was the extension of slavery by the sacrifice
of northern blood anil treasure. The North teas
to rivet the shacltles of slavery upon free Mexico—
to tioino the lash, and drive into their new pastures
the slur, s whose blood, when it spurtalforth under
the brutal lash of the slave-keeper, would cry to Hea
ven in condemnation of those who gave to slavery
its new bonds. The dying slave who turned his
face #e the wall of his rude hut and parted soul and
body in agony, would send up with his spirit an
accusation against the people of the North, if they
permitted by their voice or aided by their arms to
give a wider scope to the dreadful curse of slavery.
Do not, said the speaker, be sharers in the iniqui
ty ofhondago."
Another paper give* the paragraph a* follow*:
“But there wn* one profit dear to tho Presiden-
toil heart—and that wus the extension if slavery !
An extension nt the expense of Northern blood,
Northern-Priucipios—und when, in tlio spirit
and practice of this extended slavery, the blood
spurted out from beueuth the lash, it would, like
the blood of Abel, cry aloud from the ground for
justice! No—lot them manage thoir slavery us
they pleased, but do not let them make us the
sharers in thoir accountability. (To tho meeting.)
‘Will you share it?’ (Cries of‘No—no.’")
The following is one of the resolutions adopted
on the occasion.
Resolved, That wa arc utterly opposed to the
acquisition, in any manner of territory now free,
unless tho freedom of ullits inhabitants ho secured.
That, prepared to maintain, nt any cost the con
stitutional rights of all sections ol thu Uuiou.aud
regarding ull us our brethren, wo protoat acaiust
being made a party, at a vast expense of North
ern blood and treasure, to any scliemo for tho ex
tension of slavery beyond its present constitution
al limits; uud that wo will therefore sustain the
principles of Jefferson's ordinance, and the pro
viso in which they have since been incorporated.”
Assuredly it is all sufficient to lay thoso extracts
before our readers. We know not what offiJot
umy be produced by their perusal upon the minds
of tho selfish, ambitious loudora of thu Whig
party in Georgia, lint surely, surely tho honest,
patriotic people, who have no sordid objects to
secure by party success,will pause long uud pon
der well. These are tho sentiments of their
Northern allies; tiieso are tho fueling* to which
Clay lias mouldy succumbed and servilely pander
ed. Throughout tlio North this is tho voice of
thoir party. Are they not ashamed of such a par
ty? Are they not ashamed of such a leador ?—
Wlmt a contrast between the opinions nnd sonti-
inuuts of tills Federal Abolition meeting, and
those of tho noble Dallas, who honors the city
which it has desecrated, and triumphantly sustains
the pillnrs of his country’s constitution against
tho wild Hoods of selfish ambition, prejudice nnd
pussion!
**Est modus Iii rebus.”
There is a limit to ull thing*, oven to tlio bitter-
torest partisan's appetite for abuse. Mr. Polk
wus elevated to tlio Presidential chair by tho votes
•of n majority of the free people of this couutry
ho was elected for the avowed object of effecting
tlio great measure of Texas annexation, which
Mr. Clay declares to have been tho greut, first
causa of the war with Aloxico; lie has certainly
sustained himself with un ordinary amount of
dignity; his moasuges to Congress will compare
favorably, to say tho least of them, with those of
his predecessors; at any rate, by the selection of
a majority of tiie American people ho is now the
President of the United States. Lot tho good
taste, if not thu sense of justico nud the oiuotiou
of patriotism, of the 'Whig citizens of this coun
try, swallow if it can tlio following paragraph,
from tho Hon. Robert T. Conrad’s speech, in
Philadelphia!

Great Wills Meeting in l*hlIndcIpliIa>-Ilc»ponHc
to Air. Clay.
Such i* tho caption which wo find in tho Whig
papers, over the account oftho prbcoooings of the
Whig meeting held in Philadelphia on the ovening
oftho Gtli inst. We took occusion to liotico tho
character of tlio call for this meeting, and oftho re
marks made by that loading,anti-southern print,tlio
North American, in reference to its objects, some
day* ago. The avowed purpose of tlio meeting
wus to respond to tho Lexington speech of Mr.
Clay. Wo invito the serious attention of our
reader* to the extract* which wo now propose
to give from ita proceedings.
The meeting wo* called to order by the selec
tion of tho lion. Samuol Breck ns its presiding
officer. We umko tho following extract* from
“the excellent remarks" (so called by tlio Whig
pupers) which he delivered upon taking the chair:
“Gentlemen:—Henry Clay, our great nnd dia-
tinguishod friend, so beloved in Philadelphia, has
Intoly spoken to us, and to nil tlio American peo
ple. At tho-sound of that cherished and honored
name, tho heart of every true Whig dilates with
joy and confidence, and is filled With affection and
respect. W* are assembled to scan,' confirm, and
sanction his opinions and advice: toe hate been
culled together, to identfy ourselves in sentiment
with Mm tit He invites ns to do ns he has done
and to look seriously into the state of public af
fairs. , W« must answer the call! A* Americans,
loving bur glorious country, it is our duty so to
do i us Republicans, itis our right; for we are the
people, and tiie people are masters.’’
ken down by a Polk! Immuuse applause.
“He that-dallies in art extent, uml lie thut doubt*
Ih damned.”
Such was the language of n toust, given during
thu exciting period of tho nnti-Tariif agitation of
ii former day, by a prominent member oftho then
State Rights Party. It was responded to through
out tho State of Georgia by thousands of ardent,
chivalrous, patriotic hearts. What bus bocoino
of that gallant party? Where are its loaders, and
their followers, now 1 If they havo cars lot them
hour the following sentiment as proclaimed from
tho Cluy Whig Convention of Philadelphia, by
the Hon. Robert T. Conrad, ita master spirit:
“ But the North shrinks from a dissolution of
tho Union, nnd tho South hopes to effect its
darling desire for tho extension of slavery by
raising the cry of tlio dissolution oftho Union.
We will have neither extension of slavery nor dis
solution ; but wo will, by a steady adherence to
tho country, restrain the one and resist the other
to tho uttormost."
We have given in ourcolumns this morning the
opinions eutortained by this person upon the
Bubjoct of slavery. It is high timo tlmt ho nnd
his Federal .coadjutors should learn, and learn
too, from tho voices of Southern Whigs,that there
is u spirit at tho South which is not to bo tamper
ed with, oven through the exalted, but prostituted
medium of Henry Clay. Long enough have
such uxpressious as these been indulged in by
Whig loaders, at Whig meetings ! Long cuough
has tlio South been insulted nnd belied ! Were
tlio Whig press of Georgia true enough to its
dutytogivo to tho people a simple narrative of
what is progressing nt the North, a voice of in-
dignutiou would soon be heurd, which no party
dictation could stifle, and no party leader resist.
Cun it he hoped ? Alas ! tec hare fallen upon
strange times in Georgia.

Galvanism trad Its Proofs of Merit.
Tho universal success which has ntteuded the
introduction of Dr. CHRISTIE’S GALVANO-
MAGNETIC REMEDIES iu the United States,
i is believed is without exumple in the annals of
Populur .Medicine. A great deal of natural pre
judice had to be combated, and tho general dis
trust attendant upon any new discovery to ho
subdued; hut umid these difficulties, the articius
havo boon oon»umtiy advancing in favor, and for
tho simple reason, that THEY HAVE BEEN
UNIVERSALLY SUCCESSFUL, WIIEN-
EVERTIIEY HAVE'BEEN PROPERLY AND
FAITHFULLY TRIED. But many persons—
perhaps many tliousands—who could receive tho
moatyaluuble benefit from this discovery, aro yet
skeptical regarding its results, nnd it is espe-
inlly for the benefit of this class—probably the
moat respectable .class—that certificates add testi
monials arO' presented through the medium of
respectable journal*. Every column in this pa
per could bo filled with tiie voluntary statements
made by recipients of tlio benefits conferred by
Christie's Galvanic Articles, and every day tho
uumber of witnesses to their efficacy ia increasing.
Iu all NERVOUS DISEASES thoir benefits arc
certain and lasting. The following relates to u
prevalent and exceedingly painful Affection:
TIC-DOLOREUX.
I make this statement from a sen.so of duty, and
entirely of my own accord:
A year last November I was severely nttneked
with Tic Doloruux in the nerves of my face. The
pain was very severe from tiie first, nnd gradually
increased so that I could scarcely open my mouth,
and 1 was unable to masticate food of any kind.
The agony seemed to increase at every change of
tho weather. Aly physician, Dr. Huntington, in
Third-uveniio, gave me strychnia und oilier power
ful remedies, which were of temporary avail; but
after their action subsided, tho pain wus, if pos
sible, more sovere than before, I then consulted
other physicians, but with no better success. At
last I wus induced to procure CHRISTIE'S
GALVANIC NECKLACE und tho MAGNET
IC FLUID, aud the result in that IT HAS EN
TIRELY CURED ME. Tho relief was Hourly
immediate; on tiie second day I was much better,
and by tiie cud of the first week the disease had
entirely vanished. For tho past year I have been
entirely free from tlio compiaiiit, and tint now as
well iu ovary respect as I havo been at any time
during tiie past fifteen years. By my reconmieu-
dutiou, Airs Bonj. N. Prime, residing iu Norfolk
street iu this city, made trial for the same com
plaint, and with the saino happy result.
I would state that I am amember oftho Sons of
Temperance, the llechahites, aud the Temple of
Honor, nud that my case is known to most of my
brother members, to any of whom I would refer
the ulUictcd. IIhum L, Frost,
