Jndgo ShofUl’A Charge to tho CJmud Jury
Of tho Court or Common Plow and Oyor and
Toruiiuer, Tor tho City of Savtunmh, deliver
ed at tho adjourned Term or November, (13th
December, 1847,) and published at their re
quest.
Qe^men of tie Grand Jury.—In addressing
a select and enlightened body of eitiaons, who
hnva so ofteii been required to discharge the
high functions or Gratul Jurors, it wouItTnooni
sitperdiious for mo to submit for-your consid
eration, any observations on the present ocea-
* But, as lids is the first opportunity afford-
od mo, or meeting you in my official station,
perhaps, a brief expression or sotno general
viows, will not be deemed obtrusive, and may
not he unproductive of some usefulness. My
reflections instruct me, that thoro exists no pres
sing necessity, neither do Uie injunctions of duty
impose it on mo, to indulge in retrospect, ns to
the controling motives, by which tho Legislature
of Georgia was influenced, in 1819, In creating
and orgaufeiug this tribunal. Its history, is cer
tainly not of u date so remote, uor is it so faintly
writtou, as to require to bo recalled to your re-
collodion. It has been identified for nearly
thirty years, with tho civil ami commercial in
terests of this city. I profer to couaitlur suc
cinctly, tho benefits it may be capable of confer
ring, upon all the classes, composing this com
munity, in its practical operation. Within the
sphoro of its ascertained jurisdiction, all con
tracts, either oxpress or implied, may he speedily
tried and terminated, and tho rights of parties
litigant settled, without being eueompnsscu with
delays, significantly termed, “ denials of justice.”
Crimes falling within the description of
0 ~ t .... • minor
oftuiioeft," infractions of law, nil of which tend
to disturb tho good order, pcaca and tranquility
of society, when “committed within the limits
of the City of Savannah,” may be sneudily in
vestigated, and promptly redressed before tins
ti’ihtiiinl. Previous to the organization of this
Court, tho accused was frequently confined for
mouths, in tho cnimnnu jail, beforo ho could hu
put upon his trial. Tho reprouch can now no
longer lie made with truth, that to the accusation
is siipuraddcd, protracted and loutluomu impris
onment. There are, however, sources from
which it may not ho extravagant to anticipate,
tlmtsuhjccts limy multiply, yielding a temporary
increase to minor oiVeiiccs. The miimndleled
distresses (vliich have recently pervaded Europe,
nro now hurrying vast throngs of her popula
tion upon our shores. Tho tide of emigration
flows fiitimr, in one unbroken current, bearing
with it no inconsiderable portion of pauperism.
Allured to this hemisphere, by tho hones of but
ter fortune, or as offering a now ami more pro
lific fiold for the operations of laborious industry,
and fresh from regions, whore tho wholesotiio
restraints of law have given place to tho rigors
of oppression, they are liable to carry the privi
leges of their now-horn liberty to tho verge of
iicentiousueiM. We nmy hence reasonably ex
pect an iucreaso of crimes, particularly in our
Soa-ports, the progress of which can only ho ar
rested, by the employment of moral influences,
sustained by tho terrors of the law. Gentlemen,
you may bo culled upou to act in two distinct ca
pacities 1st, as a Grand Jury; ami 2d, as a
.Special Jury. Within the legitimate range of
your powers, as the Graud*Inquest for the City
of Savannah, “ You will diligently inquire, nml
true presentments moke, of nil such matters auil
things us shall ho given you in charge, or shall
coma to your knowledge.” Without entering
into a lengthened detail of your duties, you may
form a true estimate of them, by a simple anal
ysis of the oaths yon have taken. In relation to
all bills of itidictnteut, which may bo submitted
to you by the Solicitor General, you will he res
tricted U> tho cx-parte examination of witnesses.
The law clothes you with no attribute to deetdo
Upon the guilt or innocence of the accused; you
will net upon tho bills, from the testimony fur
nished by die prosecution alone, nml tied ie,
whether it is sufficient to authorize you to return
truo bills or not. It is incumbent on you, as a
measure of equal justice to the accused, to scru
tinize tho testimony that comes before you, dis
passionately to scuu its consistency ami weigh its
credibility. Some prosecutions may, purlmps,
bo traced to tho impulse of private pique, or se
cret resentment, while others uro instituted, to
5 ratify feelings of bitter and unrolcuting enmity.
.■ the ends of justice cannot hu subserved
wlmru these motives exist, hut on the contrary nro
defeated, when the courts are employed as instru
ments to pattdor to tho instincts of revongo, it
would he wise mid just, to accompany your find
ing of no bill with “uufouudod and malicious
F irosecntion,” by which such prosecutors would
ie subjected to the pavinent of costs, mid
in future your tiiua and that of tho Court
not uunecossnrily employed. Your scrvicos,gen
tlemen, also nmy be called iuto requisition ns a
Special Jury, to decide upou appeal cases, “ac
cording to equity ami the opinion you eu-
tain of tho evidence produced to you.” Tho le
gislature have made it “the duly of the Judges of
Huperior Courts of this State,at tho opening or tho
commencement of every Court, to-give in chnrgn
to tho Gand Juries respectively, tho substance of
the sections in this cede relative to gambling,”
ami against “trading witli negroes,” which I will
road to you. Princes’ Digest, pages U4fi—(157.
6th. Resolved, That tie right of each Stato in
thia confederacy to speak upon Fddoral questions
becomos rfalf, whou the country la eugnged in
War with h Foreign Power.
GUi. Resolved, Therefore, that in tho exercise
of this right, and tho discharge of this duty* We
reiterate what the Congress of tho Uuitod States
declared, Sat theVWar has boon brought upon
us “by tho act of Mexico,” that It Is thorolbro just
on our part, and should be vigorously prosecuted
to an honorable und triumphant pence.
7th. Resolved, That if tho War has boon
brought upon us “by Uie act of Mexico,” as was
solemnly affirmed by a vote of Congress almost
unanimous in tho Proambla to tho Act aforesaid,
and if it bo, therefore, just on our part, no pence
will bo considered by this Legislature honorable,
without indemnity for tho post, nud socurity for
theftituro.
8th. Resolved, That jf Mexico bo uunhlo to
indmunily us for tho expenses of this War, mid
to pay us tho debt owed by hot baton* its com
mencement iu money, it is thu right mid the duty
of our Government to exact from her ample ter
ritorial indemnity.
9th. Resolved, That whou such territory shall
have boon acquired from Mexico, either by treaty
“Tisnotin hope to win
The world’* vain smile, that thus l frequent pour
My artless song;—’tis that tho cup runs o’er—
1 cannot koop within -
Tho gushing thoughts that struggle to have way,
Flowing in unpremeditated lay."
Wo must close with tho first stanza to Susis,
or by couquost, it becomes tho common proper
ty of nil tho people of tho United StutoH, mid tho
citizens of oach Stato with their property of any
right to ni
and ovory description havo tho
and locate upon such territory.
10th. Resolved, That the principle contended
for by some, commonly known by tho name of
tho Wiliiiot Proviso, if adopted bv Congress,
would he a palpable violation of tho Constitution
of thu Uuitod states, an outnigo upon tho rights,
and a gross insult to tho feelings of the Southern
people, und dmigcroits to the existence of our
proud aud glorious Union.
11th. Resolvad, That in tho opinion of this
Legislature, Georgia should not, ami will not sup
port any man for life Presidency who favors tho
principles and provisions of tho Wilutnt Proviso.
12th. Resolved further, That inasmuch as a
portion of tho northern ponplo. under thu luad
of Goorgo M. Dallas, nml Janies Buchanan, uro
rallying to the rescue of tho Constitution and thu
Union, tho south note, as in I8J0 and ISM, will
he found ready to meet them iu u generous spirit
of reconciliation and harmony.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

M. S. D’LYON, Clerk.
“I've pored o|or many a yellow page
Of ancient wisdom, mid havo won,
Perchance, a scholar’s name; yet sage
Or poet ne'er have taught thy son
Lessons ho pure, so fraught with holy truth.
As those his mother’s faith shed o’er his youth. ”
“I havo been blessed with other ties.
Fond lies ami true, yet never deem
That l the less thy fondness prize.
No,-mother! in the warmest dream
Of mi.swcrcd mission, thro* this heart of mine,
Quo chord will vibrato to no name hut thiuo.”
Minority Keport of tlie Committee on thuftlntc
ol* the Jtepublie.
Tho minority of the Committee on the State
of tho Republic, to whom wore referred various
resolutions in rulation to questions o ' Federal
Policy, submit for Uie consideration of Uie House
of Representatives the following report in tho
form of Resolutions:
1st. Resolved,'That the Legislatures of Uie
several States of this confederacy, huvu thu right
to express their opinions freely ami fully upon all
quostions of National Policy; that this right lias
been exercised hy the disciples of tho Ropuhli-
eau school, from tho days of Thomas Jefferson
to thu present time, mid in tho State of Georgia,
has never been questioned until within a period
very recent, when a new party, formed upon
principles never before cunsidered cardinal or
orUiodox, litis avowed tho monstrous doctrine
that tliis right does not exist, und should not he
exorcised.
2d. Resolved, That tho Congron* of the Unit
ed Hiatus lew no power under the constitution, to
charter a Bank of the United Htntos, or to levy a
Tariff of duties for any oUiur purpose tliuu to
raise revenuo.
3d. Resolved, That if Congross does poisons
such power, its exercise ut this time would lie Un
necessary and unwise, hecuuse, in tho absence of
a Bankofthe United States, mid under the whole
some operation of tho Tariff Act of 184(1, the cur
rency of the whole country is sound, its exchan
ges exitulized and low, and its imports mid reve
nues largely increased and increasing.
4th. Resolved, That tho distribution of the
proceeds of the public lauds among the Stales,and
(he appropriation of tho Revenues of the coun
try to works ofinturnul improvement, are mea
sures at all times to hu condemned upon princi
ples of suiimf policy. But, at this timu,wUuu thu
• whole resources of tho country are necessary to
the prosecution of,the War with Mexico, such a
distribution of the public funds, would bo unwise
und rash iu the extreme.
“Mother! thy namo is wisdom ; well
I know no love of initio cuu tilt
The waste place of thy hoart, nor dwell
Within one sacred racuss; Htill,
Lean on tho faithful bosom of thy sou,
My parent! thou art moro—my’only one!”
With the same fervor of holy youth are tho lines
“To My Wife,” characterized:
“Aliir from tlicc! 'Tis solitude,
Though smiling crowds around mo ho,
Tho kind, tho beautiful, the good,
For I can only think of thee s
Of thou, the kindest, loveliest, host,
Mv earliest and my only one;
Without lime, 1 mil all uublust,
And wholly blent with thee alone.”
The next Poem—“I loved thee when iu earlier
years,” &e.., is beuutifully touching.
. But where so much poetic feeling abounds it is
a vain task to designate thoso must vindicative of
a natural heart nml a cultivated miud.
Wo wish all in tliis land of mocking-birds,
“sweet warblers of the grove,” would road and
ponder well tho advice of tho Poet—(P. 80.)
“Spare, spure tho gentle bird,
Nor do the warbler wrong;
In the green wood is heard
Its sweet mid holy song;” &c.
Tho fervor of tho Poet at times breaks forth in
patriotic strains, ns in tho lines to—"The fourth
of July,”—commencing—
Mainz, from her furthest border, gives tho first
exulting shout,
And from New Hampshiuk'* granite heights, the
echoing pcairings out;”
And GzonoiA, by tho dead who lie along Savan
nah's l.luir,
Full well we love thoe,liut we nu’ercau love theo
well enough;
From thy wild northern boundary, to thy green
isles of the sea,
Whore boat on earth more gallant hearts than
now throb high iu thee ?”
The religious hymns and epigrams, the ver
sions of Psalms, tho Christinas enrols, thu songs
on various subjects, (throe of lliuse in the Hcottish
Vngnryot* tho tioannn.
We havo on our dusk a few brunches of ail ap-

of tho first crop wero sold in the Savaunah mar

Thoso of tho second crop were of a size lurger
than pigeon’s eggs, nud of pleasant flavor.
They nro from tho pluutaiiau of Mr. Allen
Rawlus, in Bulloch County.
Who will l»o tho Whig Candidate ?
To doteriiiiue from present indications who is
to bo the nominee of tho Whig Convention for
thu Presidency, would jm/.zlollio brain of a Wall
Street Stock Jobber. Eight months ugo, before
General Taylor had replied to tho various letters
which were written to him for tho purpose of as
certaining his views on political questions, his
chnncesTor a nomination wero apparently over
whelming. His answers, however, to tho ques
tions they propounded, wero of such a character
as to throw a dumper upou tho ardent nfluctions
of sundry Federal politicians who hud hoped to
make use of his military glory ns a moans of se
curing their own corrupt ends. Tho position
which he assumed wus not such ns to satisfy the
veteran lenders of thu Federal party. That ho
should nut have formed a definite opinion upon
tho prbmitient political questions of the times,
was a matter of amazement to curtain Northern
politicians who have impressed themselves with
the idea that die welfare of the Universe depends
upon swindling, through the operation of legis
lation, one portion of the country and the people,
to build up mammoth fortunes for another. Had
a sufficiency of tune elapsed to remove from their
mouths the taste of tho hitter pill which they
swallowed in Mr. Tyler, perhaps they might have
been willing to havo ciiiug to Taylor and have
taken the chances with him. A too recent expe
rience, however, had taught them that there arc
melt over whose opinions tho intellect even of the
“God-like” Webster can exert no control; aud
us their hopes had been wrecked upon Tyler,
they shrunk with dismay from the remotest pro
bability of winging a second dart that should
quiver in their hearts. The influence of this class
of politicians had become irresistible over tho na
tional party, & hence General Taylor’s name was
evidently dropped, nud nil eyes wero anxiously
oil die look-out for the appuarauco of another
nud more generally beneficent light.
Teen it was that the Lion of tho West amused
himself from his slumbers, “shook tho dew-drop. 1
from his mane,” und prepared to give n rallying
roar. It wus plain thut before Mr. Cluy spoke ut
Lexington, his was decidedly tho most prominent
name for the Presidency before tho Whig party.
Now that ho him spoken, it is obvious that it
would have been far hottur for his own interests
thut lie should not liuvu spoken at all. Bui the tic-
iiiou did no moro purliuuciou.-dy follow tho foot
steps of Faust than has Mr.Clay's evil genius dog
ged him thro’ fife, forcing him to utter precisely
the wrong tiling,at precisely tho wrong time, and
iu precisely tho wrong way, and (lushing tho cup
from his baud at the very moment when he fond
ly thought it was touching his lips.
Yet nro not the Whigs placed iu ns awkward a
position ns their great leador I Is it Mr. Clay
alouo who has been rejected, iu so conclusive a
munuer, by the masses of tfio American peoplu,
irrespective of party? They know that it is
not, for upon the ovo of tho Lexington speech
Mr. Clay was obviously a favorito. It is not thu
man, but his son time ills from which the peoplo
have shrunk with datestution. Mr. Clay made his
futal mistake iu supposing that tho masses of his
party wero disposed to reject Gen. Taylor, be
cause he would not openly avow Federal princi
ples. IIu consequently made his how to tin*
leaders, to the wire-pullers, aud not to tho people
of his party, and echoed opinions impressed
upon the Federal prints of the land, hut never
impressed upon tho hearts of tho people
piuliuliug him tho masses havo repudiated his
principles, and iu repudiating his principles have
they not repudiated tho Federal parly or tho
country ?
The fact that once more tho public pyo seems
to bo turned to General Taylor, as the Whig can-
didate for the Presidency, is most conclusive evi
dence of the diet flmtpntriotisiu has triumphed,and
that tho Federal leaders have beou forced to bend
before the moral seuse of the nation. Yet with
out principles they cannot keep themselves to
gether as a party, aud with a candidate who ven
tures to avow their present principles, they can
only expect a signal defeat. Not all the glory of
all tho victories he has won would securo for Gen
era! Taylor the support of a majority of tiro
American people, iu caso lie should asstiiuo a
similar nttitude with Mr. Clay. And yet unless
he does assume such an attitude, how can lie be
nominated by tho Whig Convention ? However
ready Southern Whigs may he to go into his sup
port, will his nomination bo nccoptablo to the an
ti-acquisition aud Wilmot Proviso men of tho
North?
It is in this view of the case that it bernmesdu-
hiotts how long thu Taylor star will remain in the
ascendant. If nothing is to ho gained by his
election, savo tho elevation of tho man, it is rea
sonable to suppose that the eye of tho Whig par
ty will ho turned in search of a candidate more
suited to their purposes. Iu the moan timonheir
principles nro growing daily moro unpopular.—
Indue proportion tho course of tho Administra
tions recommending itself to thu minds and
hearts of tho people. Tho warmest advocates of
General Taylor ut tho North are open in their
commendation of tho acts aud mossago of tho
President. Tho neutral papers throughout the
country havo loudly expressed their disgust with
the position of the Whig party as exhibited in the
speech of Mr. Clay, nud in the proceedings of
meetings hold in response to his pronnncuuncnlo;
and there can he no doubt of the fact that the
Federalists are losing, while the Democrats nro
rapidly gaining, tho aflonlioiw of the masses. The
course of tho latter is clear enough. Principles
not tnon, has over boon their watchword. This is
the only basis of truo party strength. Feeling* is
transient, conviction of truth eternal. The love
of this or thut hero, may be changed hy a word,
or perisli with time, but principle cuu novor ho
robbed of its truth, Us power its sanctity.* If Gen
eral Taylor nnuouucu himselfih n Republican,de
voted to thu principle* of Jutl'crseii, Madison,
Senator. Valrflold.
Wo announcod tho doatli of Mr. Fairfield yes
terday on tho faith of a Telegraphic dusputch re
ceived at tho offico of tho Republican. Ho died
on Friday night.
Tim Charleston Mercury says s—“Ho hail sub
mitted to a surgical operation for dropsy, end
died shortly after. Mr. Fairfield commenced
life ns a sailor boy, subsequently became master
of a vessel, then u member of tho Legislature of
his Stuto, a Representative in Congress, Gover
nor of tho Stato, and finally one of its representa
tives in tho Senate of tho United_Stntes.” Wo
notice in the Union of Friday, tliat Mr. Fairfield
on Thursday reported iu tho Sountoa bill to pro
vide for tho appoiutmout of assistant pursers in
tho Navy, which vtos road twice and postponed
for further consideration until Monday.
From n Correspondent.
MILLEDGKVILLE, Doc.28, (atnight.)
Messrs. Editors—In niy letter of this morning,
I havo falllen, inadvertently, into nit error, m
stating that your Mayor had withdrawn from
tho presiding officers of thu Senate and tho
Ilouso, the pronmhlo aud resolutions of your
Board of Aldormcu. The visit of that fiiuctiou-
ary to this place, und tho fuct that neither thu
President of the Senate nor tho Speaker of tho
House had taken any notice of tho pruumblo ami
resolutions by submitting thorn, ns requested, to
the bodies ovpr which they respectively preside,
wus the cause of tho error.
On inquiry, I learn that tho President of tho
Senate, when called on iu tho Senate, stated ho
had tho preamble nud resolutions “somewhere
among-his papers in* his room.” It was iuiinu-
diatuly after this statement, that the Senate passed
the preamble aud resolutions, I roferretl to this
morning. Up to this timo tho action of your
Board of Aldermqnj lies unhnnnred among the
papers of tho presiding oflicor of tho Semite, “in
his chamber.”

Dr. rtivuync’s ('ompottml Syrup of Wild Cherry
READ THE TESTIMONY.
St. Louis, Sept. 7th, 184ft.
Dr. E. Easterly & Co.—Gents.—I have been
afilictcd for about three years with n pulmonary
complaint, which has limited the skill of several
of the most eminent physicians of our country.—
At times my cough was very severe, pain iti my
side nud breast, and great difficulty in breathing.
In this way .1 continued to sutler, until life lie-
ctuno utmost a burden. At length I saw your ad
vertisement of Dr. 8 way tie's Compound Syrup
of Wild Cherry, and was pursunded by a friend of
mine to make a trial of it, nml 1 purchased a bot
tle of you. I utn happy to inform you that otto
bottle has cll'crted a perfect cure, and that 1 mu
now in the enjoyment of good health. I wake
tliis statement in the form of u certificate, that
otiiurs who may bo alilictcd, with such diseases
may know where to find a valuable medicine.—
Vou can use this testimony iu commendation of
Dr. Bwuviic’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry
as you think best.
Yours, with respect,
Wm. Carson.
One Word of Caution.—Since tho introduc
tion of my article to tho public, there have a
number of unprincipled individuals got up nos
trums, which they assort contain Wild Cherry;
some nrectillod “Balsams," “Bitters,” and even
Syrup of Wild Cherry,” but mine i« the origi
nal ami only guuiiiiiu preparation ever introduc
ed to thu public, which can bo proved hy the pub-
lie records of the Commonwealth of I'euusylvn-
uitt. The only safeguard agaiu-t opposition is to
seo that my signature is on each bottle.

FOR THK OKOROIAN.
Kcflcctionii
On the New Year, with a glance at the future.
Another year is almost gone,
How solemn is the thought;
Oh may it fix in ov’ry heart
The lesson that it ought.
Another year—is joy tho theme ?
Have wo improved the past,
So that no shadow from its leaves
Is o'er tho prospect cast ?
Tho fading year—have wo fnllil’tl
Each duty it assigned /
Aud is its register to Heaven
Iu confidence consigned ?
Alas! Alas!—’tiswell that Heaven
Is not forever closed,
Against ofienders who so long
In slumber have reposed.
Nor slumber only, actual sin,
Sin daring, dark and deep.
Has marked its progress—e'en more dark
Than spiritual sleep.
But now anothor your begins,
And Hcuvuu nmy still furbunr;
“ Justice” may cry “destroy tho tree,”
But “mercy" yet may spare.
Then let us strive through grace divine,
(To all who ask it given,)
To inuke tho coming year a typo
Of hnppiur years in Heaven.
MARIE.
Dr. Wilson, iu his travels through the lands of
the Bible, last year, discovered on ilic route from
tlm Red Sea to Mount Sinai, the immense moun
tains alluded to by tho author of the Book of Job,
as the source of the gold and silver of the early
ages. From huge seams in the aides of Uie moun
tains was the ore dug out, and all tho evidences of
this mode of mining present themselves to the oyo.
How the grooves or channels were cut out from
such lofty heights to the huso of thu mountains,
dues nut appear. Immense must have been the
waste of life iu prosecuting the work.
YVlftlnv’s Bni.stiui of Wild L’lierry#
This is a chemical extract from Wild Cherry and
Tar. Everybody knows that Wild Cherry pos
sesses important medicinal properties—amt ’l’ar
Water lias always been administered iu Consump
tion, aud Lung all'uctioiis generally by our oldest
and best physicians. This preparation embodies
all tho virtnus of Tar aud Wild Cherry iu a much
smaller compass than any other ever produced.
Tho muuucr of preparing it, and its success in all
Fuhnouary nml Inver nflectinns, conclusively
prove tliis. We say confidently, no medicine
everelfectcd such wonderful cures. Lot no one
give up to Consumption’s fatal grasp without giv
ing this n trial. Being formed from vegetable
substances, congenial ut once to our soil and sys
tem, it is safe, simple aud ufiiciouL A treatise
