pursue a course which amounts to giving them effectual and
decisive aid for achieving svrcli an end by such means ? They
will be pursuing such a course if they co-operate with them
in causing Mr. Clay's bill to be rejected.
It is another important merit of the bill, (or rather it is a
necessity from which the bill could not escape,) that it seeks
to provide for the settlement of the disputed boundary between
New Mexico and Texas. This branch of the bill is insepara
bly incident to the great object of organizing a territorial go
vernment for New Mexico. For, in order to the organization
and working of a Territorial government, measures for set
tlino this disputed boundary, are indispensable, unless we
would have Congress to be guilty of the wickedness and in
sanity of organising a territory for the purpose of making it a
wide and revolting arena of governmental collision and war
fare with a neighboring state.
It has already been ascertained by a decisive vote of the
Senate, that it is wholly impossible to pass a bill recognizing
and confirming the vast length of Western boundary claimed
by Texas, stretching from the mouth to the source of the ilio
Grande del Norte, and thence due North to the 42d parallel
of latitude. Probably Texas herself, would regard as a most
unhappy eircumstanoe, the permanent engraftment on her po
litical body, of the immense, barren proboscis to which she
now lavs claim, projecting up so far to the North and partak
ing of her vitality to little other purpose than that of provok
ing upon her perpetual hostilities and incursions from numer
ous tribes of savages.
According to the imperfect attention I have given to the
subject, I am inclined to think the best boundary between
New Mexioo and Texas, would be a line quitting the del Norte
at a point some sixty miles above the town of El Passo, and
stretching from thence to lied River, along the Southern
margin of the Great Desert of the Journey of Death, throw
ing that Desert entirely into New Mexico. Such a line would
give Texas all the territory in that direction that can possibly
be desirable to her. For giving up her claim to the territory
North of that line, she ought to receive an ample equivalent,
and so the bill provides. This part of the bill ought also to
be wholly disentangled from the slavery controversy, by a pro
vision expressly recognising and perpetuating the Missouri
Compromise Line, as laid down and established in the Texas
Annexation Resolutions —which, I believe, has been done by
an amendment introduced for that special purpose.
After all, this whole branch of the bill amounts to nothing
more than making an overture to Texas for the settlement of
the boundary. And in the perfect freedom which Texas will
possess of accepting, rejecting or modifying the terms offered
by the bill, we have ample security that nothing detrimental
to the great interests of the South, will be allowed to be con
summated.
Such are the undoubtedly good provisions which the Ter
ritorial bill of the Committee of Thirteen, contains—provi
sions which Congress is clearly bound to enact —the enact
ment of which is a duty of the gravest kind—a duty which it is
no light thing for American Congressmen and especially
Southern members and Southern Democrats, to omit to per
form. Yea! more! It is a duty so grave and imperative, so
binding on their souls and consciences, that they are bound to
use their utmost exertions, to exhaust all the constitutional
means in their power, for its full and effectual performance.
On this point it does not seem to me that there can be any
ground of doubt. And if the bill contained no other provi
sions but these, it would have easily united the suffrages
alike of Whigs and Democrats of the South.

Again, Mr. Chappell says : - *
Mr. Clay's Hill is a complex measure. It embraces provis
ions for the admission of one State into the Union, the or
ganization of Governments for two Territories and tlic set
tlement of a Boundary question of immense importance be
tween one of those Territories and a Sovereign State of the
Confederacy. And, it undertakes to do all these things in
such a manner as will effectually end forever settle the Slave
ry Question in its most fearful aspect— that of its connection
with the Territories of the United States. Now it is hardly
probable that such a Bill should, in all its propositions, be so
framed as to suit precisely, even Mr. Clay himself, or any one
member of the Committee of Thirteen that reported it. It
was presented, however, by them as the most feasible and
hopeful plan they could devise for the settlement of a most
perplexed, exasperated and dangerous quarrel between the
North auß the South. It would be absurd to require that a
Bill designed for sueli a purpose should contain nothing deci
dedly objectionable in the eyes of either section. If such a
requirement is to be made, all bills of peace become at once
impracticable, and every sectional controversy, however
alarming or dangerous, is put utterly beyond the reach of
cure or adjustment. We may, therefore, lay it down that
sensible, reflecting men, friendly to the South, to the Union
and to the peace and happiness of the country, will not take a
hostile stand against this Bill merely because it is obnoxious
to a grave objection which they have no hope of being able to
remove by any amendment of its provisions. They will look
t > the good which the Bill contains, and the evil which it will
prevent, as well as to the objections, great or small, with
which it is chargeable. And they will feel that, where such
tremendous interests are at stake as in the present matter, they
are under the highest moral and patriotic obligations to take
their stand firmly in favor of tint side on which, on the whole,
they find the preponderance of good and the best clianccs for
the country to lie.
IVe must pursue this course in order to avoid contributing
by a different action on our part to the present admission of
California as a separate measure with her constitutional inhi
bition of slavery, and contributing also the future successive
admissions of New Mexico and Utah with like anti-slavery
constitutions.
h must pursue this course or we shall make ourselves
partakers in the great political crime of withholding the bene
fits and protection of Civil Government from the people of
New Mexico and Utah until, years hence, they shall be pre
pared for admission and bo actually admitted as States into
the Union.
H c must pursue this course or we shall be guilty of a great
and inexpiable crime against the South herself, —the crime of
keeping New Mexico and Utah without orgaization or ga
vermnent, in order to serve as extensive fields for Free
Soilism and Abolitionism in the North, for years to
come. By means of the Agitation thus kept up, Abolition
ism and Free Soilism will rapidly grow and spread. Our
triends at the North will be cut down to a mere corporal’s
guard, if indeed there shall be a man left to tell the tale of
their fate, and heap burning reproaches upon uj fyr having
contributed to it.
R e piust pursue this course , we must shut up this vast
territorial arena and vantage-ground of Anti-slavery Agita
tion, or the knell of the Union is already sounded and its fu
neral procession will be seen distinctly shadowed forth in the
long lines of Geographical Parties that will emerge appalling
ly to view, in the next Presidential Election.
Southern Democrats are , in an especial manner , bound
to pursue this course, that the magnificent territorial acquisi
tions which they had so prominent a part in making for their
country, may not become, by their fault in the present crisis,
the originating cause of their country’s ruin and an eternal
monument of their delinquency and shame.
Nashville Convention Address.
The Savannah Republican, after commending the dispas
sionate tone of this address, thus makes onslaught upon its
logic:—
“I ho reasoning of the address, in opposition to
die Compromise of the committee of thirteen, is
m ust disingenuous. It amounts almost to a sup
pressio veri. For instance, in regard to the hounda-
T y line of Texas and New Mexico, the address con
itnds that the Compromise seeks to transfer a large
portion of the Texan territory, now slave territory
tIJ New Mexico, where it will become free soil. The
fallacy And disgenuousness of this position are at
°nce evident, when it is remembered that nearly the
south, and doubtless every member of the
‘invention, has always held that the moment New
•lexieo and California were transferred to us the
institution of the United States, proprio v'upore ex
tended over them. The old pnti-slavery Mexican
. s yielded to the constitution, under which we en
.l°ythe same right to carry out* slave property to the
Urritories that the farmer of Massachusetts has to
o> there with his property. Such is the doctrine of
’ye south and of the Nashville Convention. llow
“‘ n, can the simple transfer of a portion of the dis
yiUd territory from Texas to New Mexico, make
ree soil out of what is now slave soil ? It cannot
~ Jne i uu d the Convention must have known it. —
Indeed, the very bill which they vehemently attack
contains a section rejecting the \Y ilmot Proviso, and
leaving the whole question of slavery to be disposed
of by the people of the territory when they come to
adopt a state constitution, and among them, by the
slaveholders who may be incorporated into it from
Texas.
But grant tliat the old Mexican law, the lex loci
prohibiting slavery is still in force, and we ask wheth
er the Texan law, which tolerates slavery, would
not upon the same principle remain in force in such
part of her territory as was transferred to New Mex
ico \ ihe fallacy of such reasoning is too apparent
to escape the detection of the most superficial reader.
M hat surprises us most,. is that the Convention
should renounce a principle almost universally ac
knowledged at the south, for the purpose of attacking
thfc Compromise. It should be remembered too, in
this connection, that thus far it is not known wheth
er this territory belongs to Texas or New Mexico. —
It is a-disputed territory. It is wrong therefore to
say that it is taken from one and given to the other.
Moreover, Texas is not bound to consent to the trans
fer. The bill only purports to make ‘proposals’ to
her, and it is left to her, to decide whether she will
accept them or not.
Ihe reasoning of the address upon other portions
of the Compromise is of a character with the forego
ing. If the Convention had recommended, and not
opposed, the Compromise, it would have conferred
a signal service upon the country, and in all proba
bility ensured its success in the House of Representa
tives. Instead of this, it suggests the Missouri Com
promise, which nearly all the southern legislatures
that have met within the past two years, and among
them the democratic legislature of this state,
have united in condemning. We think the plan is
wholly impracticable, and not half so just to the South
as the Committee’s Compromise. The Convention
must have been satisfied that it could not be adopt
ed. It was so advised from Washington, but this,
perhaps, was its greatest recommendation. Even
this, however, they do not think it right for us to
propose. If the north will offer it, then we will con
descend to accept it. We are called upon to make
a stand not only upon our rights, but upon etiquette
also, and if need be to dissolve the ‘Union upon a
punctilio ! Such a feeling is unfortunate at a time
when the good and patriotic of the land are endeav
oring to adjust great and dangerous questions, be
fore which all manner of etiquette sinks into utter in
significance.”
[communicated.]
I read with great pleasure the speech of the lion. Jos. AY.
Jackson recently delivered in the House of Representatives at
Washington city. His remarks were patriotic, enlightened
and candid, and what is unusual with congressional speeches,
it contains many practical blows at the disturbers of Southern
rights and tranquility. This effort has placed him high in the
confidence of the people of Georgia, and it should not be for
feited by pushing his views to the extremity of a South Caro
lina ultraism. The writer of this is satisfied that Col. J. docs
not wish to dissolve nor to peril the Union, unnecessarily, and
yet the most violent opposition to the “Compromise” now un
der consideration in the Senate, is ascribed to him, by certain
political Journals. The people of Georgia have great confi
dence in the patriotism and the stern integrity of Col. J. and
are unwilling to believe should his views be understood cor
rectly by the few who claim the right to speak authentically on
the subject, that he will persist in the course indicated. It
must be apparent to him that it will be in opposition to the
wishes of a large majority of the votes of Georgia, and by three
fourths of his own district. I would say to Col. J. to cease
to talk ot resigning the seat you occupy, vote far the “Clay
Compromise” should it reach the house, and discountenance
disunion and treason wherever it may be found.
But to return to the speech of Col. Jackson. In referring to
the losses of negro property sustained by the intervention of
the abolitionists, lie alluded to the loss suffered by Dr. Collins
IS months since—He spoke of the Doctor as one of the most
public spirited citizens of Georgia, and never was a compli
ment more worthily and justly bestowed. In all our public
enterprises wherever to be constructed, or in what way soev
er to be paid for, Dr. C., has led off worthy of himself and
the advancing spirit of the age. Onward, successfully onward
be his course tili Georgia bo thoroughly redeemed, by linking
of her most distant counties to your beautiful city,
VINEVILLE.

Dr. de GRAFFENRIED S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
IN introducing this medicine to the people of the United States, for
sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement
of Dr. de Graflenried, its discoverer and inventor: .
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine
for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheu
matism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicine ; and
he lias no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most valuable
remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and dis
tressing malady.
IBs note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it
has been used within the above named period, and in no single
instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a
cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten
years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra
ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease
is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been
reported to him of its return.
All he would ask for Ibis remedy is a fair, impartial and patient
trial, for the results he entertains no apjrrchcpision.
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied
the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured,
bad consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been
translated into the English language, and had used all the remedies of
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, very
rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians
and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But the un
dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful
disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have been an
humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family
of a vast amount of suffering.
E. L. de GRAFFENRIED, M. D.
CERTIFICATES.
FROM COL. A. K. AYER.
Dr. E. L. de Graffenried —Learning that you are about
to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Lin
iment, I take jileasttre in stating that I believe it one of the.
most valuable remedies ever used for that common and most
distressing disease, having witnessed its effects upon a ne
gro man of mine, who had been afflicted for four years, un
til almost every joint was enlarged, and the body otherwise
emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in weeks,
he was relieved entirely from pain.
Columbus, Ga., Oct. 24, 1849. A. K. AYER.
Columbus, October 30, 1549.
Dear Sir—About the first of April last, 1 came to Colum
bus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you
as having a remedy that would afford tne speedy relief. I
was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of
Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that 1 could
not pull off niy shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or de
scend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My
right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers con
tracted and swollen ; the right knee swollen and stiffened,
so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of
April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed
with your Rheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and
was the next morning enabled to descend a long flight of
steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l
could tilso bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which
the previous day,-1 could not have done if my life had de
pended on it. I could also use, open and bend my fingers,
which was an impossibility the day before. I rose in the
morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. 1 used one
bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment,
and iu ten days, 1 was relieved. I would not have been in
the condition which l had been ten days before I called on
you, for any amount of money that could be given me ; for
what is life worth when in constant pain and misery! I
consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med
icine in the world. I ant, dear sir, your friend,
J. 11. SMITH.
Columbus, Nov. I, 1849.
Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a slid
neck from a jiainful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven
years, and could not turn her neck except with the body. 1
was induced to purchase a bottle of your Liniment, which
was applied in August or September of 1848. One bottle
entirely relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as
well as ever she had ; and up to this time it has not return

Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850.
14r. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for
some time past, with a severe altack of Rheumatism, and
having heard of the wonderful*effects of your Rheumatic
Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it, and after three
days, 1 was so much relieved as lobe able to leave the house
and attend to business. 1 have perfectly recovered from the
disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to
all those who are afflicted.

ment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being attacked in one
joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and
having used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its
cure, with hut little benefit, 1 made application of two bottles
of your Liniment, which I am happy to say relieved me in a
very short time. 1 can recommend its use to all persons af
fected in like manner.
Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN.
I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried’s Rheu
matic Liniment iu the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came
under my immediate observation.
Uct. 13, 1849. 11. A. WARE, M- D.
Dear Sir—Some time in January last, Mrs. McKee w’as
taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her shoul
der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm, which dis
abled her from using her amt almost entirely ; and from the
jiain, want of sleep, and great restlessness, for not less than
six weeks, 1 was induced by my friend, Mr. I,uke Reed, to j
call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and by using half j
the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and tiie relief was man- I
ifest or sensible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion \
it is one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis- ]
covered for Rheumatism : that, is, from my own knowledge, j
and that which I have heard from others.
Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. 11. C. McKEE.
Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849.
Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in saying, I
have a bov who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism,
that he could not raise his hand to his head, and had nearly
lost the use of his arm. I used the fourth of a bottle of your
Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I con
sider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism.

C01..1. It. Rigan, — Bir, it affords me great pleasure to lie able to j
bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of l)r. de OroffenriaCs j
Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I believ- I
ed to be, and what eminent Phj-sicians of this city pronounced, Rheu- !
tnatic gout, for several winters past I have been confined to my room
and bed nearly all the time. In January last, Ibadan a>tack as violent
if not more so than usual, which prostrated me forabout three weeks;
on yOur recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment.
(With I must confess but little faith.) Its effects were astonishing
and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days my
back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all
the soreness and pains, and the swellings reduced, with the, use of
less than one bottle. I have been iu the discharge of my ordinary
business eversince.
I consider it ajt extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious
remedy forYhis disease, which l have ever met with. And most cheer
fully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES,
Jones’ Hotel.
Baltimore, March 30,4850.
Dr. de Graffenried —Dear4cir, fortlie last twelve years, l have stti
feree very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one
fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. I have had the best med
ical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or
no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended
remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the lastsummer
at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose.
After my return home, l so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a
little. About six weeks since, l had a severe attack which again con
fined me to my bed, 1 was in great pain and scarcely able to move my
limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed me that you had dis
covered an infallible remedy, and had cured many,and amongst them,
one of my friends, and showed me a bitter from him stating the fact.
I was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in
informing you tiiatin less than twenty-four hours from the first appli
cation I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so up to this time.
I aiii now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict
ed, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved, as 1 have been with
your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir,
Your grateful and obedient Servant,
GEO. WARDSWORTH.
Columbus, Ga., Oct. 20, 1849.
Dr. dc Graffenried — Dear Sir, I take pleasure in giving you the
particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During
the spring of 1844 1 was afflicted with a very severe attack of IntlaiiP
matory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies
then known and used in similar cases, aided by medical advice, until
September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. I was then
induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as some
thing new, and which had cured him; and in one month from the
time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of the Rheu
matism as I ever was, and have continued so to this time.
Yours, Truly, L. C. MORTON.

POWER PRESS.
FI'MIK advantages of this now POWER PRF.B6, and its superiority
X over all others, are as follows: *
Tilt; power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever and Eccen
tric pully, that is, one huntlred pounds power applied to the Lever
will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near
the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw
of 16 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread w ith the
same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but oue
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long
to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with
much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at
the start.
This Press can be made very compact, and squally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any
puqiose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
puri*oses. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and
three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the. work to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &c. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-tliird less timlier in this Press than in the
screw, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed •? J 5, which may be had
of C. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish
them. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use
the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be
10 or® 15 more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the
cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will be the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic canconstruct the Press from the
drawings-and specifications which will accompany each right.
I shall sell a single right at 820, which sum can be sent by mail at
my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster
of the place wbefe the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa
nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
bo able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will lie
punctually attended to. A. I). BROWN.
Clinton, Jones County, April 2d, 1850.
—Certificate.—
This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil
liam Johnson, in this county, the performance of a Cotton Press re
cently invented and patented by Mr. A. D. Brown, of this place, and
can, with confidence, recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenience and simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation,
eth liest that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve
ry essential; can be placed as near the lint room as desired, and can lie
easily covered in and made very durable.
