THE CHISI S—T HE CRISIS. n*/io s.ue.its jrovr t There were scoffers a few years back in this very Georgia ofours, who, as destitute of reve rence as were the forty youths that cried out to the old Prophet, ‘Go up thou bald head,’ dared to ridicule the truest watchman that ever mount ed guard for the South,because he saw and fore warned us of the hour that is now upon us.— Where ate those facetious gentlemen now, so averse to blue devils, that they could be witty over the prognostications of this very struggle, that now commences from this day. Who calls Johs C. Calhous, John Crisis Calhoun, now Free Soilism has triumphed, and we are a de graded and helpless and despised people. De graded, because there is a golden spoon Govern ment for the North and a Government of contri butions and tasks for the South. Helpless, be cause betrayed and sold by our own people—and despised, because we are a laughing stock for Abolitionists, that all say are no less contemned and reprobated at the JVorth , than they are at the South. We guess that any way, the political Joe Millers of Georgia are done laughing for the present, for even while the formalities of transfer of this proud old State are being gone through with—while the solemn sale of Georgia is being consummated, and she is handed over to the Abolitionists, it will provoke, even with the Traitors that do the deed, “some pious tears.” I California is admitted—and one hundred guns I announced in tones of thunder, defiance and ex- I ultation, that these Southern States are disfran- I chised, and from this day our children are lielots lin the eye of this Government. We hope this I will ease the conscience of Northern men and I make the minds of Southern moderates quiet, I now the chasm so abrupt between the proud I master and humble slave is filled by one inter- I mediate remove from the celestial Yankee, now I the master of us all , the negro and his owner too. ■ Come, tell us, you proud Southron, that all Byoar life long has been looking the world full in ■ the face—in whoso veins flows a current you ■ track back to its “parent lake” of the Revolution, I s ay Itow do you rest under the huzzas that rent ■ the heavens in Washington, on Saturday last, ■ when practicatly it was settled by the Govern- Hment that there is, and is to be forever, a caste ■ above you. But then you are consoled by the ■ fact that the Wilmot Proviso was not thrust down ■ vour throats, and in that you triumphed over the ■ North. In this argument soe how contemptible ■ you have become, for they not only rob us, but ■ take us for such fools that they believe we dont ■ know it. We will not add to this insult by ever ■ again attempting in these columns, to argue the ■ Territorial question. All here—all everywhere ■ else, understand the whole matter, and North land South it is understood to be from first to last, ■the basest—most merciless—most grovelling— ■paltry-minded thievery, that ever marked the ■track of rapine—or ever branded the brows of Kicn for submitting to. One commits a shameful ■waste of ink-shed that talks any more of the Krinciple of this unhallowed wrong. Every Hvard and every thought now should be forven- K p anc« and redress. ■ H'e talk of tlio glorious Revolution of 1776, ■I! growing out of a dirty little tax on Tea— Hrhile we tamely stand still and let the Yankees Hulk us of three hundred and thirty millions of Bur money in fifty-eight years—steal every year Hni millions worth of our slaves — and rnh us now Hf an Empire, that no power of figures can tell Is our true loss. The crisis is indeed here. It may be a bloody With the denouement of the Abolition plot, have the disclosure at last of the silent game Hint lias been playing among our politicians for Hlie last eight months, and that game is to stake B!l, literally every thing, on Union. »cn iet Bhe game be played out. The crisis is here, and it will result either in glory or H shame. The wit of man cannot prevent it. Bar if corrupt men— or A chans in our camp —or Howards shall help the North to put us in chains, Ue will not stay there —depend upon it we will H't. The avt ful, awful consequences of this war Hpon the very existence of Southern society—the H’ nsi'quences of this attempt to put the slave Brer his own master, are too horrible to be borne By the most degraded wretches in our land.— BUt day is ahead as sure as there are villains Congress. Our precious defenders may, like ■c panting and worn out ostrich, thinly by their heads under some dastardly tem- expedient, that shall hide danger from eyes for the moment, that therefore there no danger. But as truly as we arc now out- will Georgia, along with all the rest of the Houth, have to provide for the well-being in our midst of what slaves are now here—and for them as free men under the superri. Boa ofour lords of the North. Begin you proud Buntrymen of Washington, and a long list of Broes, to provide quarters —and place—and —and fellowship for three hundred and Hwlity thousand negroes. This your brethren B*ve next in store for you,—and doubtless there ■>l be more than one newspaper in Georgia that ■*|l tell you that man is a trairor to his country this, would urge us to divide this “glo- Union," and split with our “brethren at North.” We dare say that more than one Vving politician in this State, high in honors p’ace, would even then say that as yet the had not shown uny hostile intention W?|inst the South. These men never can be that we are injured, until they first that thore are no more places and eniolu lor them. Let them alone. The patriot 13 now, with a singlo eye, working and r* rnvin £ his whole soul into the work of his B' "is “nativo land,” may meet with hin and with discouragements that shall n 'gli break his heart. Posssbly too some of have our necks broken, even before our l| Well, it is cheap purchase even at that, we have lost. But n better day is coming boys " Wrongs II ins,J lts along with them, are yet in store for devoted South, that will erect into heroism and most abject spirit in this land. yv hen that day comes, you bad as well try ~k down an eruption of Vesuvius with the V" ° r your hat, as to suppress the uprisings Popular vengeance, by cries of “glorious But, in the meantime, let us do the best we can. Governor Towns will, in due time, call the Convention, and those who oppose us must take the consequences of siding against the right sos the South, and we may on our part take the consequences of opposing them. Any way, the ball opens, and unless we are badly dcceiv ed, all the heat—the divisions—the estrange ments heretofore witnessed in this land, from party divisions, will be child's play to what we are now to see. WHY QUARREL FOR TIIE MAJORITY! Remember this is a Government of chartered rights, and of strict limitations. Now take this postlate to begin with, and does not the past and present history of our legislation in Congress prove that the party of power contemplate a de liberate fraud on the world, and are plotting a treason against the integrity of our Union, that nothing but numbers prevents being punished by the halter. Take the infamous Sewkad for an instance, as the proper exponent of a whole class, aud can any man doubt that this wretched and self-convicted blasphemer against good faith, is fully as criminal in the eye of the law as ever was Aaron Burr —nay, infinitely more so.— Can any one suppose that had this daring sinner have raised his voice fur his doctrines singly or from amid the scanty ranks of n petty faction, that long since lie would not have found his position among convicted felons ? Had he not been powerful with aiders and abettors, will any one undertake to say that Mr. Clay would not have drawn down public and official reproba tion upon Seward’s head as the traitor, and not upon Mr. Rhett's ? But Seward is sus tained and his destructive and corrupt purposes are treated at least with that respect that gives them a place among national ideas of govern ment, while as pure deductions ns ever were drawn from that government, are treated with the contempt due the ravings of Jacobins and are tabooed by those who claim to be the true ora. cles of Republican faith. So it is well understood in this day, that this is a Government ofyeas and nays, and Sovereignty means simply a majority But we ask again the question why quarrel for a majority. Suppose the South had it, would she be one whit stronger than now ? No. — Ought she to be in that case stronger ?—could she be so long as the principles of our polity were respected—so long as the plighted and re gistered obligations on her part towards her co equals were maintained. By no means. Fo r we hold that so long as the Federal Constitution is strictly and bona fide administered, that in stances of accidental advantage arising from a majority vote would be so rare, that this benefit to a section would never be worth quarrelling about. Take any one question that has ever yet threatened the peace of this land under our Government, since the first hour its machinery was set in motion to the present day, and name one if you can. One that has grown out of a fair exercise of our Constitutional functions.— Nothing, certainly since Shay's insurrection, that even looked like it, has arisen. It is the boast of our form of Government, that it is so— that little Delaware made up of one or two good garden plats, is as secure as the State of New York or Pennsylvania. Would it have been possible for integral Sovereignties ever to have united upon any other basis than such an one as prevented the absorption of their powers into the vortex of the vast numerical power, ever in‘ creasing, of the larger States ? 'l'his Union never would have been a part of the history of civilization had these guaranties been withheld from the weaker States. It would have been the madness of folly for these Stales ever to have trusted their rights into the keeping of sucli un matched confederates. We say the crowning beauty of our form of Government is, that by self-imposed limitations, we have given the most clement and at the same time the most efficient practical exposition of a majority rule, that ever the wit of man devised. Maintain our beautiful plan, to strip this iron rule of numbers of it g hardship and its injustice, such as is furnished by the spirit of our Constitution ns it is written, (not administered, Heaven help us,) and well may we say that this instrument is far above the wisdom of those that framed it. In this idea ofour Constitution, as a citizen of the South, who lias not a wish for a fortune other than what may befall her, we would not give a straw for a numerical advantage on the part of the South. In very truth we bad rather not be oppressed with the dangers to our honor of misusing and perverting that power. But as things now go, that man would shear the Knight of La Mancha of his laurels, who should ho so excessively magnanimous,as not by any mcans> fair or foul, to increase the strength of his sec tion. It is a grand game of snatch and scrambler that is now being played by the North against the South, and the North has the “ins" of us. — The question no longer is, is this or that measure right ! —is it next proper ?—then can we consti tutionally pass it ? No, none of it. But, can we do our chores by it?—what is the net profit? —do we rale Hate we sec any clear gain to the dignity of free laborers, all of whom “ either read or write?’’ All else is mere abstractions and certainly came from Virginia or South Carolina. What, again we does the North—the South—the East or the West, want with this much talked of thing, the majority, or the bal ance of power. The idea of the thing pre supposes a big practical rascality. If any State, or any set of States, wish a larger power than the Constitution bestows, it is wanted for objects of plunder and robbery. Depend upon it, nothing else. There is ample power belonging to all the States, except that off-shoot of a petty Algicrsdom, Rhode Island, (and we dont count her when we talk of civilized States,) to enable us to give as vigorous a developemem to all our local interests and resources, as we may honestly use or righteously desire. Then we say, that the bare idea of restricting the South from a share of the public domain, that the North may get the “pride of place” from us—that we are to be decreased that she inay increase—that for her behoof it is necessary that we should be denuded of all power, is a clear indication of what, in a few years, is to be our doom. We are noto tributaries— then we will be tasked to make their brick and find our own etiaw s' that THE HON. JOHN M. BERRIEN. We have frequently heard it remarked of late days that Mr. Berrien had evidently fallen into the “sear and yellow leaF’ of his intellect and usefulness, and that the most illustrious part of his track was behind him. But there never was a greater mistake. For some years back, it is very true, Mr. Berrien seemed to have been abstracted from the active business of the Senate, and to he whelmed in deep thoughts, to which he gave no utterance. But lie has lately arisen from his reveries and shaken himself with his old time might, and never in the whole course of his bright career, lias he poured out w itli such affluence the treasures of a full and great mind, as for the last few months. His first great speech the present session, has, in our poor judgment, not been approached but by two other efforts— Mr. Calhoun’s and Mr. Socle’s We regard Mr Webster’s speech as full of the noise and majesty of spent thunder, and of nothing else.— Had he not backed this last display by the un disputed prestige of a thirty years’ fame, it would have fallen still-born. We regard Mr. Berrien’s last speech upon the doctrine of Sovereignty over the Territoriesi as a very powerful effort, and its triumph over Gen. Cass, as complete. Indeed Gen. Cass seemed to feel this, and his friends no doubt be gin to tremble for his platform, upon which now the noise and clangor of all sorts of tools and all sorts of workmen is heard, in the industrious preparation for another campaign. We think the calculations for the next race have been made with critical exactness, when the votes of the States! of California and New Mexico, will be important to the result. We will only remark, in passing, that this debate about the Territories and their Sovereign ty, only furnishes anew and more forcible illus tration of the fact that all trans-Potomac states manship is of the most unstable and most un principled character. We use the latter epithet not intending to convey the worst sense by it. But we mean to be understood as asserting that Northern politicians are all the slaves of policy and expediency. A present good—a quick ex trication from" a pressing difficulty—and hiding away into the future the ills of this hour, to be provided for by ihe next, is the limit of their science, and seems to be the rule of their best men. Gen. Cass lias fallen into the old error of the men of his latitude, in tho present disposal he wishes to make of the power ofCongress over the public domain. May his errors of doctrine ever fall into as safe keeping as that of Senator Berrien. Georgia lias one man left that is fully able, and we now confidently trust, is fully willing to bear up her banner in the midst of the sorest trials that may befall us. We direct the special attention of our readers to the correspondence in another column, by which it will he seen that Judge Berrien thinks that Congress, by admitting California into the Union, lias virtually passed the U ilmot Prortso We believe this to be so, and shall wait to see if our people will submit to be thus robbed and degraded, without opposition. A Wedding in High Life. — The London Messenger thus describes a wedding, in high life, in England : —The parties who are to be united enter by the side door of the church, and wait in the vestry’ until the clergyman is ready, and all is prepared. The father, or whoever gives the bride away, then conducts her to the altar. The bridegroom follows with the bride maids, and the relatives and friends follow in the rear. The clerk (who is the clergyman’s deputy) then places the bride before the altar and the bridegroom at her right hand. The father stands behind the bride, that be may be ready to place her right baud in that of the joy. ous bridegroom—for every bridegroom ought to be joyous and happy on such an occasion. Thus there is no disagreeable and perplexing waiting in the case—for the bride does not approach the altar until the bridegroom is prepared to follow, the lady of course in this, as in every other in stance, taking precedence. Were it otherwise, people might say that the bride ran after the bridegroom; but, as it is, he is at liberty to “hack out,” even at the last moment, should a sudden change come over the spirit of his dream ! Tiie honors of a fashionable English wedding breakfast are done by the bride’s mother, or elder sister, if she have one ; if not, some elder, ly friend. All the bride is expected to do on her marriage day is to attend to the post she lias to take in the ceremony. She is to be given away, and to say, “I will,” and “obey,” which latter word some of our American girls would deem a very difficult one to pronounce. From the Federal Union. The Position of Georgia. The eyes of the whole South, in this ovenlfu' crisis ot tier history are intently fixed upon Georgia. All the other slaveholding Stales, have expressed their determination to resist the aggression of the North, but none of them have indicated either upon what overt act resistance shall begin or manner which it shall he pro. secuted. Georgia lias done both. Her last Le gislature, with a patriotism worthy of all praise and in a manner which becomes her, as the largest cotton growing and the empire State of the South, has distinctly declared that upon cer tain contingencies, action on her part must com mence. Those contingencies are the follow, ing: 1. The passage ofany law by Congress prohi biting slavery in any of the territories. 2. The passage ofany law abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia. 3. The passage of any law prohibiting the slave trade between the slave States. 4. The admission into the Union of California and New Mexico &c. 5. The refusal ofany State to deliver up any fugitive slave from the State. Georgia has emphatically proclaimed to the world, that to none of these antiepated outrages will she submit, and in the event any of them shall occur, has directed her Executive, to call a Convention to determine upon the mode and measure of redress. None of these anticipated outrages have yet been consummated. The bill however for the admission of California, lias passed the Senate, and its friends confidently be* lieve that it will pass the House and receive the sanction of the President. If it does, the Exe ! cutive has no choice, his duty is defined, und he will promptly discharge it. The Convention will then be called. Upon it will duvolvo a responsibility, suffi lent to make the iboulden ofan angel quake. Upon its decisions will be suspended not only the destinies of Georgia, but of the entire South. The true issues before it will he the perpetuity ofthe institution ofslavery or its abolition—abject submission or bold and manly resistance. It cannot for a moment be believed, that that Convention will take counsel of its fears, or be lulled into repose by the syren song of peace, that will float in every flreeze from the North, and find an echo in tho ti in id or timeserving ! and the aspiring demagogues of the South. It cannot be believed,that tliat Conventionwill give the lie to the often reiterated declartiong of the people, that resistance to aggression was their right and their duty; that it w ill by counseling submission, not only peril, but subject to certain ultimate prostration all the rights and interests ol the South ; or, that it will bring reproach up on its gallant State or tarnish its fair escutcheon. Georgia is not unused to conflicts with tho na tional government. In nono of them has she failed nobly to sustain herself. In all has she come ofl victorious. When its bristling bayo- , nets were on her borders, and Adams was stri- I ving to coerce her, led on by the gallant j Troup, she quailed not, but proudly marched on to victory. Spurning with contempt the man date ot the Federal Court which summoned her! to its bar, she defied its power, confined the I missionaries who had violated her laws in her Penitentiary and hung upon the gallows the; notorious Tassels. The Convention cannot fail to remember,that Georgia has character to lose i as well as rights and interests to secure. It will then, there can he no alternative, determine up on resistence. What will he its made, it is not our province to dictate, nor within rtur ken to foretell. It is a questiou thatshould be left solely with that body. It may be as suggested by some, the passage of laws of non-intercourse—discrini. ination in taxation. It may be,asolemn protest and remonstrance pledging the State to more decisive action, if within a given time, the grievances comptained of are not removed. It may boa solemn league and covenant with all the aggrieved or only the cotton growing States to sever all the commercial intercourse with the North, build up ther own ports, and open a di rect trade with Europe ; or a league and cove nant with these States, now or at some future period to form new combinations for the future security- It may be, that the Convention will decide upon separate action by the State—in other words, immediate secession. This how ever we apprehend will be the dernier resort and will not be adopted till every other expedi ent has failed or proved hopeless. The Convention should he composed of men in whom all confide, and they should meet as did our fathers who framed the Declaration of In dependence and subsequently the Constitution of the United States, untrammelled, after full, free and calm consultation, to adopt such measures as they may deem most advisable. In thatCon ven.ion should be found, the Trnups,the Gilmers, the Lumpkins, the Sclileys, the Bullochs of Georgia, men in whose bosoms the fires of pat riotism have not expited, men who have retired from the partizan strifes of the day, who have the wisdom to suggest, and the firmness to ex ecute those counsels, which will best secure the honor, rights and interests oftlieir constituents It is deeply to be deplored that already,in antici pation ofthe Convention, certain indvidvals and certinjournals, have raised the clamor, that Con vention is to to be a disunion Convention. They are busy, too, in conjuring up ns “raw heads and bloody bones,” all the horrors civil war,to fright en the people from their propriety—the asser tion of tlier indubitable rights. What right have they, or any one to make this charge? \Vho has declared it? Who lias the authority so to pro claim it? The individuals and the presses tak ing this ground are the identical parties, who have prevented union at the South and if there are dtsanion men among us, the opithet may be justly fastened upon them. From the Columbus Times. The Georgia Convention—Seces sion the Remedy. California admitted as she stands, a conven tion of the People is to be held to decide on the mode and measure of redress. Georgia is in for it—see the resolutions of the Legislature on this subject in another place. This being a “fixed fact” the question for the people is, unat sort of a contention will they elect? Shall it be one that will vote with the Crawfordsville meeting, that Congress hy “perpetrated no act calling for resistance,” und shall adjourn with resolu tions of submission and buck out, spread in black and white on the State archives. Or shall it be one that will see the wrongs, take action for redress and face the consequences ! These are momentous topics for the consideration of the People. Some will come to an easy conclu sion, and by a rapid process. Timidity will shrink at once, and submit without a murmur. Partyism that has linked its fate with the Union under all circumstances, and sinks or swims with the defeat or triumph of the Clay Omnibus will plead that no wrong has been done and resistance is treason : while the secret sympa thizers with the abolition movement will go to the polls and vote for submission candidates.— But what will the Southern, men of Georgia do? What will the Planter whose property, great or small, is invested in land and negroes, do?—• What will the Sothern man, who though he is property less, yet possesses a heart loyal to the institutions ot his State, and wiio sees a doom of degreda ion and ruin involving all classes in tiie South in a common grave, looming up in the future, ns the direct consequences of sub mission—what will tie do? What will the wo men of Georgia do— who detest a craven in man as they loathe a wanton, in woman—who rely upon fathers and brothers, husbands and lovers, to sustain the rights of their country, and their own equal dignity with the best of the Ameri can race, in order to bo worthy of their- love, pride and joy—w hat will the women of Georgia do? We ask these questions, hut not for the purpose of answering them We can only an swer for one—ourself—-and every other man must answer in his own solemn responsibility to himself, children and country. If the action of Congress makes it imperitive on the Govern or, under the instruction of the Legislature, to call the convention, our own first choice will be for secession and our votes and efforts will bo steadily given to effect that end. We need not here repeat our reasons. They have been given in every number of this paper for months past. We have no idea of submitting to the rule of an abolition Government, as this Gov eminent will be, if it dares to pass these pend ing omnibus bills. Nor will we be responsible by any act of ours for the dreadful consequen ces to overtake the Southern people, if they are tame enough quietly to submit to such measures. We go then for secession—quietly, if let alone, forcibly if n.ade necessary,—We are for meeting the defiance of the North on this issue, and are against all temporary expedients, or new and postponed issues. If Georgia courage and pa triotism are equal to the crisis it will be well— well for present and future generations. If she quails and cowers when the consequences of standing to her word—her right—stare her in the i face—we cannot help it. We shall hate done our duty to our parental soil ; and will after wards turn our thoughts to taking care of our selfand children, and averting as far as possible, the evils and dangers which are sure to follow surrender. Georgia has said to abolilian-“t/o this thing if you dare.” If abolition does it, shall Georgia be sustained by her sons, or abandoned to humilia ting defeats and disgrace ?

ARNOLD, GEORGE S. OGLESBY, ) Pro P Tietors - Marietta, Ga., May 25, 1850. 20—ly* DR. CARY CON, M Informs tho Public that he is prepared for the reception of persons suffering with chronic diseases, at his Water Cure or Electro Hydropathic Establishment, near Marietta, Cobh county, Gn. His Baths nrn sit uated near the principal Buildings. The scene in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being near Kennesaw Mountain. The scenery, pure water, tho great elevation above the level of the ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennessee lino on tho Western and Atlantic Railroad,) the convenience of access by Railroad, tins refined nnd intellectual society, and pure atmosphere, have all most admirably conspired to render the location suitable for an establishment of the kind. The Proprietor deems it needless to say any thing relative to the curative powers of either Water or Electricity, as the general mass of the people in this country have attained u knowledge of their great value in removing disease. He flatters himself that he is able with pure Water and Electricity, to remove any character or des cription of disease that could, under other treat ment or circumstances, possibly be removed together with a numerous host, that all other remedies must necessarily fail to remove. 'l’lie expenses per day, for a Patient at hi* Establishment, will be for Board, use ofEleetric Shocks and Baths, with Water Ballit, Medical advice and attention, with ordinary attention of Servants, $1 50 : which includes all necessary expenses,except washing nn outfit for the sweat ing process, bandaging, &c.—payable weekly in' advance.
