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.

Jtobort T. Conrad, who oppoorsto 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! “Was there no fear that tho U.ikni might be sacrificed by tlio undue exercise of power by grasping Presidents, such us Mr. Polk / lie ad mitted tlmt Air.

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.

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 !

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.
