)Ir, Clemens’ Speech* and the Vermont
Resolutions.
\Ve have given in another column several ex
tracts from the manly speech of Mr. -Ci.emens,
Senator from Alabama, delivered on the 10th
inst. before the Senate, on the motion to print
the insulting Resolutions of the State- of
Vermont, which we publish below. 31 r. C.
takes the true ground that the South should at
once unite in opposition lo Northern encroach
ments, and judge them by their acts rather than
their professions. Most of our readers are fa
miliar with the rapid progress which has been
made by the Abolitionists— -A 4 not Abolitionists,
hut anti-slavery men” as they say—within the
last fifteen years, when they commenced agita
ting the question of“thc dear right of petition.”
Now they have become powerful enough to de
lay the election of Speaker, and other business
of the House, some six weeks and more ; and
threaten to carry out their wicked designs. Still
the song of peace, “no danger,” is heard at the
South, whose institutions are to be sapped to
their foundation and eventually overthrown by
the schemes of these Northern fanatics. We
repeat it is right for the people of the South to
sec who are their friends at this time, believing
as wc do, that those who arc ashamed to profess
friendship now, will bo afraid to stand by the
South at the approaching crisis. We hope our
Legislature will follow the noble example ofoid
republican Virginia,and send these insulting Re
solutions back to the frigid region from whence
they originated. Notwithstanding they are in
accordance with public sentiment at the North,
it becomes us to see that their views shall
not be carried out, let the consequences be what
they may. If the spirit of these Resolutions is
sustained we may expect that slaves transported
from one port to another w ill be captured and
taken to non-slavcholding States and liberated,
merely because they were found upon “the big!)
seas and wherever else Congress lias jurisdic
tion.” Could cupidity or villainy dictate great
er injustice? But we leave the reader to judgo
of the merits of these Vermont Resolutions, by
publishing them entire, as follows :
44 Resolved by the Senate, and House of Represen
tatives, That slavery isacrime against humanity
and a sore evil in the body politic, that was ex
cused by the framers of the federal constitution
as a crime entailed upon the country by their
predecessors, and tolerated solely as a thing of
inexorable necessity.
Resolved , That the so-called “ compromise of
the constitution” restrained the federal govern
ent from interference with slavery only in the
States in which it then existed, and from inter
ference in the slave trade only for a limited time,
which has long since expired; and that the pow
ers conferred upon Congress by the constitution
to suppress the slave trade, to regulate com
merce between the States, to govern the territo
ries, and to admit new States—powers conferred
with an express intention “ to form a more per
fect union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquillity, provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare, and secure the bles
sings of liberty to ourselvesaud our posterity”—
may all rightfully be used as to prevent the ex
tension of slavery into territory now free, and to
abolish slavery and the slave trade wherever
either exists under the jurisdiction of Congress.
Resolved, That our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress be requested to resist by all and
every constitutional means the extension of
slavery in any manner, whether by the annexa
tion to slaveholding Texas of territory now free,
or by the admission into the Union of territory
already acquired, or which may be hereafter ac
quired, without any express prohibition of slave
ry, either in the constitution of each new State
asking admission, or in the act of Congress pro
viding for such admission.
Resolved further, That our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress be requested to sup
port every just and prudent measure for the ex
clusion of slavery from the District of Columbia;
for the entire suppression of the slave trade on
the high seas, and wherever else Congress has
jurisdiction; and generally to relieve the feder
al government from all responsibility for the ex
istence, maintenance, or tolerance of slavery, or
the traffic in slaves.
Resolved further, That our Senators in Con
gress he instructed, and our Representatives ha
requested, to use their exertions for the speedy
organization of teritorial governments for New
Mexico and California, with a provision forever
excluding involuntary servitude, except for
crime therefrom.
Resolved, That the Govenor bo requested to
furnish a copy of the foregoing resolutions lo
each of our Senators and Representatives in
Congress, and to the Govdrnoi of each State
in the Union.
Approved, November 12, 1849.
The Hungarian Exii.f.s. — The Globe states
that on the 14th instant the ex-Governo r
of Comorn, Lauislaus Ujhazv, and five or six
other distinguished Hungarians, who have pre
ferred exile and alI its bitterness to slavery at
home, arrived in Washington from Baltimore,
and took lodgings at the Irving Hotel. Next day,
attended by the Mayor and Major Tochman,
they called on the Secretary of State, by whom
they were received in the most cordial manner.
They then visited the President, accompanied
by the Mayor, who introduced them, and they
were received by the Chief Magistrate of the
nation with “the greatest kindness,” says the
National Intelligencer, “and with his character
istic frankness and unaffectedness.” Governor
Ejhazy delivered an address to the President in
the Hungarian tongue, which was read in En
l gtish by Dr. Kraitzer General Taylor replied
I to the address. There has been a bill introdu
f ced before Congress appropriating a homestead
°n the public lands for all exiles from foreign
lands who seek refuge here. These Hungarians
I have given notice that they wish to become citi
j tens of the United States.

Mr. loote’s Bit!..—The bill which Mr.
toTE has given notice of an intention to intro
duce, for the organization of governments for the
new territories, makes a division into four ter
ritories, under the names of California. Deseret,
New Mexico, and Jacinto. The northern,
southern, and western boundaries of California,
are described in this hill as at present. The
Eastern boundary is to he the 116th degree of
west longitude. The remainder of the present
territory ofCalifornia, is assigned to the territory
ofDeseret. New Mexico is to comprise all the
territory of the United States, acquired by the
treaty of peace, &c., as recited in the former
descriptions, not included within the bounda
ries of Texas. A rather indefinite dcseiption,
considering that the boundaries of Texas are by
no means satisfactorily defined. It was probably
the intention of Mr. Foot*, however, to concede
to Texas the boundary of the Rio Grande. Ja
cinto is to include that portion of the territory
of Texas lying between the Brazos river and the
Sabine, (the western boundary of Louisiana,)
having the Arkansas boundary on the North.
The bill of Sir. Foote docs not touch the sub
ject of slavery in these new territories, or the
right of slaveholders to carry thither their pecu
liar property and institutions.
Pußi.tc Meeting —A large meeting of the
citizens of Washington county, composed of
Whigs and Democrats, took place at Sanders
ville on theßth inst. The following Resolutions
were adopted, in addition to one approving of
the proposed Southern Convention at Nashville
in June next:
Resolved, That we regard the Wilinol Proviso
as wholly unconstitutional in principle, aggres
sive in its aim and directly insulting to the
South ; and rather than submit to its application
to any territory now acquired or hereafter to be
acquired South of the Missouri Compromise, we
are for immediate dissolution of the Union.
Resolved. That any attempt to interfere with
slavery in the District of Columbia—the admis
sion ofCalifornia under her anti-slavery consti
tution, or any future interference on the part of
the non-slaveholding States, between the South
ern master and his fugitive slave—will be the
signal for action on the part of the South; and
that then, we hope to see her rise in the majesty
of her strength, throw oft" a government no
longer a blessing to her, and thus bid a proud
defiance to her would be oppressors.
Resolved, That we view this subject as a
mighty torrent, rising high above all party, and
bearing on its surface the destinies of our proud
Republic ; we therefore do not come to its con
sideration in the frenzied spirit of partisan ran
cor, hut as a portion of the citizens of the Union
and sons of the South, and in the foregoing Res
olutions we have expressed to the world the re
sult of our most serious deliberations, and essay
ed to suggest to our mistaken brethren of the
North, the only course that can now save the
Union.
The Virginia Legislature. —An exciting
debate,in volving the question of Southern Rights
took place in the Virginia House of Delegates on
the 14ill inst. The Resolutions of the Vermont
Legislature, iu reference to slavery, having been
communicated to the Governor of Virginia, and
hv him to the Legislature, they were disposed of
by the unanimous adoption of the following
Resolution :
“ Resolved by the General .Issembly of Virginia,
That the Resolutions of the State of Vermont he
returned to the Governor of this Commonwealth,
with a request that they he returned to the Gov
ernor of Vermont ; and that the Governor of
Vermont he informed that the Legislature of
Virginia understand their constitutional rights
and mean to maintain them.”
The Committee on the subject of the Wilmot
Proviso, Nashville Convention, &.c. made a re
port, with this preamble:
“Whereas, the action oftlie General Assembly,
in 1847 and 1849, upon the “Wilmot Proviso,
and kindred subjects, “ confirmed by the calm
approval of the people of Virginia, and sustained
by t. o concurrent action of other Southern
States, has received no other response from the
people of the Northern States than violent de
nunciation, and a sympathetic perseverance of
the wrongs of which we complained.”
The first Resolution then re-affirms the Reso.
lutions heretofore passed by the Legislature.
The 2d approves of the Southern Convention;
and proposes to send four Delegates from the
State at large to the aforesaid Convention, and
also recommends the choice next spring, by the
people, of a delegate from each Congressional
District.
The 3d Resolution provides fir the payment
of the expenses of the four Delegates from the
State Treasury.
The 4th asks leave for the Committee to sit
again, that they may prepare an address to the
people of Virginia.
The report of the Committee was made the
order of the day for Thursday last.

Dr. Franklin.— lt is related of Dr. Frank

with a nobleman upon the question whether the
majority ought to rule in State affairs, or whether
the educated and well informed few should
govern. The nobleman advocated the latter
proposition, and Dr. Franklin defended the
former. After some debate, the nobleman pro
posed to let tho matter be decided by the compa
ny present and being surrounded by his own
friends, they all rose at once on his side and
left the doctor alone. “Well” said ho, “accord
ing to your own principles, I have gained my
cause; you represent the ignorant majority, and
I, the wise minority, decide that you are wrong
and must yield."

Correspondence Southern Tribune.
Milledgeville, Jan. 24.
Mr. 11 arrison. — We have since my last, had
some exciting scenes in the House. The Sena
torial District Bill was called up on the 18th,
and gave rise, as it was of course expected to do,
to some angry discussion. I say discussion,
though some of the Whig prints have had the
hardihood to assort that with iron rod the major
ity power was laid on, and all sorts of tyranny
inllictcd through the agency of the previous
question. The facts are as 1 give them and you
may rely upon it as the truth of history. I must
first premise that a simple Resolution had been
passed some days previous that two-thirds should
be necessary to call up an)’ bill out of its order•
When therefore the Senatorial Bill was called
up, Mr. Gartrell made the point, that this was a
Rule of the House and could not be repealed
but by a vote of two-thirds. Pending the dis
cussion of this poins Mr. Nisbet, of your city,
appealed to Sir. Jenkins, who as ex-speaker, is
certainly good authority, who without hesitancy
declared that before a Rule could be considered
a Standing Rule of the House, the preamble of
enactment or the body of the Resolution must
state that this is to be regarded as one of the
Standing Rules of the House. As this was not
done, then it followed a bare majority was com
petent to rescind this as any other simple matter
and on the vote of appeal from the decision of
the chair the vote stood yeas 81, nays 30. This
then looks very little like the partiality and fa
voritism of the Speaker, which has so recklessly
been charged. But I started to give you the his
tory of this affair, which is to supply so much
party ammunition to all sides. Upon the vote
to suspend the Rule it stood yeas 63, nays 32.
Then began the war in earnest, when every mis
sile, big and little, fair and foul, began to flv.
Mr. McDougaid moved, quite early, an adjourn
ment, yeas 50, nays 65. Right on the heel of
this vote, Mr. Nisbet moved a further postpone
ment of the bill. Then before the vote on this
move, Mr. Ramsay moved an adjournment.—
The Chair ruled the motion of Mr. R. out of
order, as a motion was then pending—Ramsav
appealed from the decision of the Chair and the
yeas and uays were called, yens 61, nays 54.
Now see how fairly the Whigs were disposed
to act. Just as soon as this vote was announced
Mr. Ramsay again moved an adjournment, yeas
56, nayss4. Then it was that Mr. Nelson, see
ing the factious and illiberal spirit of the oppo
sition, moved the previous question. Before
this vote was tukon Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin,
with all the mock dignity of one affecting the
sense of wrong and injury, called on his backers
to walk off with him, and strange to say, all but
sixteen of his party of the House could see no
thing indecent, nothing unlawful, or nothin*
unconscientious in this movement. And stiff
more astonishing than all, this very gentleman, in
1843, in the Senate, when the Whig hill of
abominations passed, was the very man that
moved the previous question and slapped on the
gag, and so grievously did the Democrats feel
he mselves oppressed by this bow-string inove
mentofthc gentleman, that Mr. Hunter spread
a protest on the records of the country, by which
future generations may see that the majority (a
large and available one at all times,) refused to
listen to remonstrance or discussion, in this
House also the previous question was moved by
a Mr. Allen. But I will proceed with the jour
nals. On the 19th, Mr. Jenkins moved to re
consider so much of the Journals as referred to
this bill. It is within the certain knowledge of
your correspondent, that a gentleman of the
highest respectability of the Democratic party
was on the point of making this very motion,
had he not been anticipated by Mr. J. The
whole matter was then discussed by Messrs.
Jenkins, Gartrell, Nisbet, Kenan, wliigs; and
by Messrs. Nelson and Wiggins, democrats.
Now it has been stated by- whig papers, that tiie
wliigs were gagged down when history and
truth prove that a whole day was spent in the
discussion and reconsideration of this hill. But
what discussion did it want, the bill was printed
and in every ones’ hands weeks and weeks, be
fore the vote. If the wliigs find this a hitter
cup they spiced and drugged it themselves—
fortune has commended it to their own lips.—
But see how unreasonable the complaints oftlie
press. The present bill gives the dorininant par
ty six districts certain—five doubtful. And
among these fiv e doubtful districts, four of them
at the last Congressional election gave whig
majorities. So really the present hill docs not
make the prospect for the democratic partyany
better than their present position. With apo/»-
ular vole in their favor about what the demo
crats now have, the wliigs legislated for a ma
jority of fifteen. If they lost this majority, it
was the recoil of their own gun which they had
or reloaded, that prostrated them. So no thanks.
I have dwelt thus long in this matter, because
there has been great prominence given to it and
much unfairness attempted.
The Douse has been three days discussing a
tax bill for the Georgia Rail Road and it is vet
undecided. The order for to-morrow, was our
Report and Resolutions on the State of the Re
public —but now we do not know when they
wii'l bo reached. 1 send you the last Report of
the Committee on the State of the Republic,
very unanimously agreed on in Committee. You
will see how important these Resolutions are.
We arc on the right tack now—only pray for a
good pilot and a brisk breeze. •
The Joint Committee on the State of the Re
public to whom were referred certain Resolu
tions of the members of tho Legislature of the
State of South Carolina, and other Resolutions
introduced in the House of Representatives of
this General Assembly, relative to a proposed
Convention of the people of the Slave.holding
States, recommend the adoption of the follow
ing resolutions:
licsolrcd, That this General Assembly regard
most favorably the recommendation, emanating
from the people of Mississippi, that the people
of the Slave-holding States meet in Convention
at Nashville, on the first Monday in June next,
eminently conducive to harmonious and efficient
action among them in defence of tho Institution
of Slavery, and all the rights incident thereto,
guaranteed by the letter and by the spirit of the
Constitution.
Rosolred, That for the purpose of securing to
the State of Georgia a representation in said
Convention, we recommend to the people of the
several counties, to assemble at their respective
county sites, on the first Tuesday in April next,
and appoint delegates to a Convention to be held
in Milledgeville on the first Monday in May
next; each county having two representatives
in the popular branch oftlie Legislature to send
four, and each other county two delegates.
Resolved , That the delegates so oppointed, be
empowered in General Session, to appoint four
delegates to said Nashville Convention, for the
State at large ; and in separate Sessions of the
delegates coming from each Congressional Dis
trict, two delegates to said Nashville Conven
tion for such district.
Risolved. That the names of the district dele
gates to the Nashville Convention so appointed
be reported to the said General Convention in
Milledgeville, and that thereupon a certificate or
certificates, as well of the appointment of the
district as of the State delegates to Nashville,
signed by the Prcsideut and Secretary, he issued
as their credentials.
Resolved, That in the selections of delegates
to the Con vention, wo would recommend that
the same be done by the election of an equal
number from each political party in the several
counties in this State.
Resolved, That bis Excellency, the Governor,
be requsted to forward a copy of these Resolu
tions to the Eexceutive of each Slave-holding
State, to be laid before the Legislature of sucji
State.
Message of Gov. Thomas, of Marj-lauil, on
Slave Abductions, &c.
We invite the attention of our readers to the
facts disclosed in the Message of Gov. Thomas,
to the Maryland Legislature, a copy of which
will be found below. Docs this action of New
York and Pennsylvania savor of anything but
rank injustice to the South ? We arc glad to
see that a Resolution in accordance with the
views of the Governor was forthwith passed by
the House of Delegates of the State of Maryland.
State Department, Annapolis, Md. 1
January 11. 1850. A
To the House of Delegates:
1 herewith transmit the accompanying papers
having reference to two several cases, arising un
der the constitution of the United States, and
the act of Congress, approved on the twelfth of
February, seventeen hundred and ninety-three,
in relation to the recapture of fugitives from ser
vice and labor.
From the first of these papers it will be per.
ceived that a negro man, named Joseph Belt,
the slave of John Lee, Esq., a citizen of Fred
erick county, who had previously absconded
from tiie service of his master, was arrested in
the city of New Y r ork, on or about the 20th day
of December, 1848, and immediately thereafter,
and before his removal to this State, was taken
from the custody and possession of Mr. Lee,
under and by authority of a writ of habeas cor
pus, issued by one of the justices of the Su
prerne Court of the State of New’ \ r oik. It will
further appear that, at the bearing of the case,
although the property, in the slave, was clearly
established by the confessions of the negro him
self, and by the testimony of competent wit
nesses, proof was required by the court to be
resented that slavery was authorized by the
laws of Maryland; and, although the evidence
of that fact was supplied both by the oral testi
mony of witnesses and by the production of the
printed statues of the State, such us are read
in our own courts, that the evidence was rejcc.
ted, and the respondent was held to furnish, as
the only legal and admissible evidence, a copy
of the law itself, under the certificate of the
Governor and seal of the State. Such evidence
not being at hand, the slave was forthwith dis
charged, and his ow ner, under color of law, de
prived of his property in manifest violation of
the Constitution of the United States and the
ant of Congress above refered to. This extra
ordinary decision, in derogation as it is of the
plain meaning and intendment of the constitu
tion, and designed, as it doubtless was, to inter
pose greater difficulties in the way oftlie recap
ture of fugitive slaves, than had previously ex
isted, vviii, nevertheless, as long as it remains
unreversed, be considered authority in the State
of New York, and it is of the greatest impor
tance to the people of Mary land that tneasarcs
should be taken to test its constitutionality.
It is, therefore, respectfully suggested that a
resolution be passed directing the attorney gen
eral, at the cost of this State, to carry the case,
by writ of error or otherwise, to the Supreme
Court of the United States, in order that the sub
ject may be examined by that tribunal, and the
decision reversed.
The other papers consist of a communication
from a citizen of Virgiria, of high character, ac.
compained with affidavits setting forth that a cer
tain Jonathan Little, of Washington county, in
this State, is now in confinement in the jail of
lluntigndon county, in the State of Pennsylva
nia, awaiting his trial upon an indicetmcnt for
kidnapping a negro. The facts, as stated, arc
that Jonathan Little, together with two other
persons,arrested, in that county, a fugitive slave
named Jacob Tenley, the property of Elizabeth
McClean, of Frcderic.k_county. and wbiJein-the
act of conveying him to his owner, the slave was
rescued from their hands and set at liberty.—
That, sometime afterwards, Jonathan Little re.
turned to Huntingdon county, was arrested and
imprisoned in jail ofthatcounty, in a narrow cell,
heavily ironed, & treated in all rcsner.una » felon
It is further stated that the trial of Little was
continued from the last term of the court of that
county, notwithstanding his w itness were all in
a.tendance, until the January term, which will
take place iu a few weeks from this time; that
Little is a poor man, and unable to employ coun
sel to defend him. Jt is therefore, suggested in
those papers that it is the duty of the State of
>1 aryland to provide him with cousel, in order
that ho may be properly defended.
These cases present two instances, out of the
very many others, to show the obstacles that
arc constantly interposed to prevent the re-cap
ture of absconding slaves, not only by the popu
lace, but by the judical tribunals.
The whole subject is respectfully submitted
for your consideration and action.

r PHE following communication appeared in
i -L the last Georgia Telegraph, and must be re
! pint* with interest to all similarly afflicted. Mr.
Smith is a printer by profession, and is employ
ed in that office—he relates his exp friend, w hie h
after all is the best criterion by which to judge
of the value of remedies. Advertisements and
high sounding statements may be set forth, anil
thus give an ephemeral character and existence
to remedies, which w hen judged by this teat,
lose all their value, and become defunct; not so,*
however, with those which have thus been test
ed, and have passed through the ordeal ; for of
them, we state what has occurred, and from that
deduce what may be expected. But to the com
munication, it will speak for itself.
Macon, Jan. 14, 1850;
S. J. Ray, Editor Georgia Telegraph :
Dkaii Sik :—While so many certificates of
individuals living off at great distances nre ap
pealing in the papers commendatory of Bal
sams, Syrups, Pills and Powders, I think it but
right that medical research and superior success
of tome of our practitioners at home should be
made known to our community, that those of
our neighborhood who are alllicted may not on'
ly save their health but their money also, and at
llie same time encourage the efforts of those who
would give character and cnnseqnenco to thid
section of the Uniou. 1 have been led to these
remarks by the teachings of my own experi
ence :
About seven years ago 1 was attacked with «•
disease of the liver and lungs, accompanied with
haemorrhage or spitting of blood, with severe
and most barrassing and distressing cough,cold'
sweats of nights, with a wasting diarrhmr, and
a great part of the time confined to my bed, and
so debilitated generally, that l could do but lit
tle in tlio way of business 1 thus continued
for over five years, making every effort during
that time to regain my health. I first applied tor
tiiepliyscians ofSavannnh, where I their resided,
but their efforts failed to relieve me. I then
tried Houck's Panacea for a long time—then
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, Sec., till 1 had
spent hundreds of dollars in their purchase, and
still found myself as bad off as before. 1 then
applied to your townsman, Dr. M. 8. Thomson,
who 1 am happy to say, after treating my case
some 6 or 7 months, restored me to sound, and
I believe to permanent health, for I am now and
have been for the last 18 months in the enjoy
ment of uninterrupted health. This is my ex.
perience, and I doubt not you will agree with
me in the opinion, that I have good reasons for
recommending the Doctor and his remedies in
eases of this kind, far above the most eminent
physicians whose skill 1 had tested, and the far
famed and much boasted balsams and panaceas
with which I had been dosed. Let others do
likewise, if they would be cured, and that they
may not perish for lack of knowledge, I here
by request that you will give publicity to my
statement in your widely circulating sheet, and
much oblige yours, respectfuffy,
JOHN H. SMITH.
The following letters arc given, not so much
on account of the facts they contain, though they
are important, as to give an idea or specimen of
many of tlio same kind that are borne to the
subscriber by almost every Mai! from the North,
South, East and West. They were not intended
for publication, and arc therefore the more to bo
relied on, and appreciated.

Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir :—1 hope you will excuse n.e For not
writing to you sooner. I have not forgot you,
neither will I forget to pay yod when I sell my
cotton.
I am much gratified in being able to announce
that my son has got almost entirely well, so
much so, that all tiiose symptoms of disease
have left him, but tlio enlargement of the spleen
which has not entirely gone. To look at his
situation eight months back, and to look a’ffiim
now, it seems almost as one risen from the dead.
1 say to you, there is no more healthy looking
youth in all this county, indeed his whole sys
tem is regular and easy. God knows how long
he will remain so, but I hope he will to the end
of life. He has not taken any medicine for the
last four months, yet he is thirty pounds heaver
than before that time. 1 had applied to Physi
cians, of both the Mineral and Botanic Schools,
of eminent genera! qualifications, but aii to no
benefit, but tlnmks to God, and gratitude to you
for his restoration. My feelings are indeed un.
speakable. BENJAMIN JONES.

Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir :—lt is with pleasure that I writs t*
you, to inform you of the improvement of my
health. I have followed your directions as near
as 1 have been able, arid 1 think I have ns*
missed the proper way far. The medieine is
nearly gone, and I feel like anew man. I have
not changed much in my appearance, but surely
in my feelings I am t cell. I now can enjoy my
self with my family, my neighbors and even
myself; this world looks bright, and I feel hap
py in the anticipation of the future. lam en
tirely free from almost every symptom of the
disease with which I have been afilicted. If
you think I had better take some more medicine
to make sure of it, please send it and oblige,
Yours respectfully, YYM. W. WALKER.
Persons desirous of testing the efficacy of these
remedies in their own cases, no matter where
they reside, can do so very conveniently by send
ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct
ly as lien medicines to suit thei* va
rious eases will be compounded and sent by mail
express or private hand. In order that ail
may partake of the benefits resulting from the
use of bis remedies, his charge for the treatment
of such cases as do not require bis personal atten
tion, will be only Fire Dollars a month, which
may be sent by mail at his risk.
Acute cases, and those requiring personal at
tention, will he charged in accordance with the
established rates of other eity Physicians.
The inconvenience of having little sums scat
tered all over the country has induced brm for
the future to have his terms cash, or when that
i3 varied from, it must be with the express prom
ise of honorable payment at Christmas, without
subjecting him to the trouble and expense of col
lection. Those requiring personal attention
can be accommodated in Macon. All letters
must be post paid and addressed
