MACON, GA.. AUG. 9, 185a
In consequence of the extreme pressure on our columns,
to day, two or three columns of Advertisements have been
temporarily crowded out. Also the proceedings of the Monroe
meeting, of the 27th ult. which are in type.
To Correspondents.— “ Observer,” “Allen W. Wnl
ker,” and “Trochanter.” all too late for the present No.
The Contributor of a “Banquet to the I’otatoe” is green, if
he meant to palm that document on us as original.

\(*W I’OttOn. -A lot of Cotton, raised this season, by
Mr. King, of Jasper C. was manufactured into yarns, on the
Ist of August, by the Planters’ .factory of Butts ! Mho
can beat that l
Mr. Strobel and Mr. Shchanc. —if Mr. sbe
hnne chooses to reply to the article of Mr. Strobel in to
day's paper, he can have the privilege, but when that is
done our columns \\ ill bo closed to llie discussion, as no lon
ger interesting or profitable to our readers, and the end
whereof, without this interdict, no one knoweth.
Deferred Letter.- -Our Washington Letter of the
gSth .July did not reach us till Friday last. Nevertheless, on
account of the sound views therein presented, we could not
withhold it from our readers. By the way, we would re
mark, that these Letters are from one of the ablest men in
the country. lie is no party penny-a-liner, but a well-in
formed, high-toned and enlightened gentleman, whose views
are entitled to the most respectful consideration. Ilis un
doubted devotion, moreover, to the true interests of the
South, gives still further claims, for his admirable letters, to
the notice of the Southern public.
Accident. —During the storm ofTuesday evening
l;ust, the parapet wall of Ross & Co’s store, cotton
avenue, in this city, was blown down upon the awn- I
ing, crushing it to pieces, where seven persons were
sheltering themselves from the rain. All these were
more or less injured and one severely —Mr. M’Coy
of Twiggs Cos, whose skull was fractured and spine
badly bruised, lie lies in a precarious state. Mr.
Murphy of Twiggs and Messrs Ingram and Bridges
of Putnam C., a little son of Mr. Underwood and
two negroes were the other persons caught under
the falling wall.
The ('oiuproini.se Rill. —Vfe think it useless to
give the proceedings of the Senate in detail, by
which tlio Clav Compromise bill was emasculated
and finally killed, except in one particular, that of
establishing a territorial government for Eutah. It
is, also, useless to speculate on wliat Congress will
now do in the matter —whether the various features
of the ‘Omnibus’ will be introduced and carried sep
arately, in whole or in part, or whether Congress will
adjourn, after passing the needful appropriation bills.
In a few days, we shall know the result, and can give
facts in lieu of speculations. \\ e believe, however,
that the voice of an indignant people, if it could be
heard, would call home, at once, their faithless public
servants, and render unto them that recompense of
reward which their factious and unholy deeds so
richly deserve.
What Next ?
Now that tlie Clay Compromise Bill has been shorn of its
strength and beauty atel smothered in the smoke of Southern
ultraism aud Northern abolitionism, what is the next move
ment on the political chess-board ? W hat do the Southern
Disunionists now propose to themselves, in the way of a set
tlement of the vexed question? Their exultation at the de
feat of Clay’s Bill is loud and vehement. They “rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory ’ at the result of their
union with the extreme North in crushing what we believe
to be the only reasonable and practicable mode of adjusting
the difficulty! But, we have not, yet, seen any dcvolope
nient of their purposes in this new aspect of the ease, nor
any exhibition of their plans, which they themselves deem
practicable and safe. They cry still, for 36 30, but can they
hope fur success on that line which has been voted down in
the Senate by as decided majorities as Were given at the im
molation of the Bill of Mr. Clay? Can they get it with the
ultimatum affixed to it, and will they take it without that ulti
matum ? Were they now to rescind that ultimatum and
give good token of their willingness to take the line of 36 30,
as it was established in 1820, there might be greater union
among ourselves. Onr position is—to take the Missouri Line
if we can get it—rather than leave the question open for fur
ther agitation—but we will never consent to the foolish ulti
matum annexed to it, because of the horrible consequences
involved in its consummation. W hen the Disunionists, there
fore. remove the stumbling block which they have placed in
the way of the entire union of Southern men upon this sub
ject—and not till then—can they expeet that unanimity of
counsel and effort., which will command respect and accom
plish the object ostensibly sought to be attained.
We fear, however, that this class of our fellow-citizens
have no intention to be satisfied with even the line of 3(5 30.
They will not have even that, without the recognition of
Slavery, South of it. And we|\s this last attained, (which is
quite as certain as “when the sky falls you will catch larks. )
we doubt whether the Fire Platers would then be satisfied with
the result. Like Ilhett, of S. Carolina, they view that as a
“hopeless” result—hence the ultimatum, to make occasion
for the darling object of tlieir hearts —which is disunion or
separation!
Wc can however, afford to await awhile and watch the
movements of these gentry. They are making one grand ral
ly in this State to commit Georgia to the scheme of Dissolu
tion. “Already,” say they, “can wc count upon five States
for this measure—to wit: S. Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi.” But we rather suppose they are
“reckoning without their host,” when they place Georgia in
that category. The question is yet to come before the peo
ple, in plain unmistakeable language, whether they will vote
to dissolve this UNION, unless the ultimatum proposed is
achieved. They have yet to decide whether the l nion of
these States is no longer preferable to civil war, rapine and
disunion. And not until they are mad enough to make such
a decision, will we doubt their devotion to the glorious confed
eracy of the “stars and stripes” or “despair of the republic.”
Hon. Howell (obi) and Judge Jackson.
Two more eminent Georgia Democrats, tlie Hon.
Howell Cobb and the Hon. Henry R. Jackson, have
declared themselves in favor of the Clay plan of Ad
justment. The letters of these gentlemen appear, in
die last Athens Banner, and do infinite credit to
Hieir heads and hearts. Judge Jackson’s views
are specially lucid and powerful, and we wonder that
:,n y intelligent man can rise from the perusal of his
masterly Letter, without being convinced of the
soundness of his opinions. Compared therewith, the
insipid ran tings oftheM’Donalds, Bennings, and oth
‘ r disunionists, about ‘ Southern rights ,’ are as stale
hcer along side the sparkling and exhilarating ckam
pagne \
Sudden Deaths. —On Saturday evening, a fireman on
the Macon & Western Rail Road, of the name of Jas. Thomp
son, an Irishman, was struck with apoplexy, in a few mo
ments after the arrival of the train, which he attended, and
died shortly after.
On Sunday evening, another Irishman of the name of
Thomas MCarty, died suddenly, on Bridge Row. Verdict
of Coroner’s inquest, “Death from Intemperance.”
How can they expect it ?—“The Clay Compro
mise men must now come to us,” say the ultimatumists
or “36 30 or fights,” since the omnibus bill is defeated.
Thank you for nothing, gentlemen. We despise your Nash
ville Convention and its disunion sine qua non too much, to
help you to get what you yourselves deem a hopeless result.
M e are not “submissionista” enough to submit to your ar
rogant pretensions as the only true friends of the South and
of Southern rights. We arc not ultra enough to fight for
the unconstitutional measures of the Missouri Compromise
Line in order to promote the self-aggrandizement of the tra
ding politicians of the day. “W edo not choose to go with a
crowd who can affiliate with Northern fanatics in crushing
the best Bill for the South which ever was offered for its ac
ceptance. We are not “free soil” euough to support the
Wil mot Proviso, and the principle of intervention by Con
gress on the subject of slavery, though these measures come
to us under the guise of the Missouri Compromise of 1820,
but which is none the less odious and unjust, because acqui
esced in for 30 years. No, Sirs. Go on with your projects
and see where you will land. Already do wo sec a move
ment to bring in all the measures of the Omnibus bill in se
parate enactments. California will probably come in as a
State and New Mexico will not be far behind. At any rate,
we shall not go for the Missouri Line, until we despair of get
ting any better. If New Mexico can come in on the principle
of non-intervention, as Utah, we shall rejoice, though it
should be the cause of a Pronunciamento from our Govern
or and the gathering of a State Convention to resist the mea
sure. Lc-tthat Convention be called and the questions of se
cession and dissolution be fairly placed before the people of
Georgia, and our confidence is unclouded that their voice will
not be for war but for peace and the Union. Until our hopes
are disappointed in this regard, it is unreasonable for the dis
unionists to expeet us to go to them, and we shall not doit,
simply because we have no faith either in them or their mea
sures.
“Party Tricksters.”
The Telegraph of Tuesday, in “soft-sawderin g” Gov.
McDonald’s late letter to liis friends in Crawford, thus con
temptuously speaks of such men as Howell Cobb, Judge 11.
It. Jackson, Hon. A. 11. Chappell, Hon. O. A. P. Nicholson
and others equally distinguished, Who have declared them
selves in favor of the Clay Compromise :
“If the calm and statesmanlike views of such inen as
Tazewell, Cheeves, McDonald and Colquitt, could be heard
above tlie din and noise of mere party tricksters, and heeded
upon the great questions of the day, our glorious union might
yet be saved, and southern honor emerge untarnished from
the conflict.”
One of these “calm and statesman-like” gentlemen lias
changed, like a vane on a church steeple, right about, within
the space of a twelvemonth. Another has been known as
one oi the most unscrupulous “party tricksters” and dema
gogues of the age. A third is one who is now in his dotage,
but was wise enough to play mum at the Nashville Conven
tion. And the fourth is a broken down Virginia politician,
whose opinions in his own State are not considered of any
special importance. Alas, for the cause of peace, safety and
honor to the South, if the lead of such men is to be followed
as “ealin and statesman like,” while tlieir superiors in intelli
gence aud patriotism are stigmatised as “mere Party Trick
sters.” Out, we say, upon all such “odious comparisons.”
Taking Water# —The Federal Union is out manfully
against the disunionism which is everywhere attached to the
Nashville Convention,and which “stinketh in the nostrils of
the people.” That print denies that, the said Convention has
either the power or the will to dissolve the Union. It has not
so said or recommended. It “lias other arrows in its quiver,”
such as “non-intercourse and discriminating taxes on their
manufactures.” The assertion of disunion intention, the ed
itor declares to be “unauthorized, absurd and ridiculous”—a
“raw head and bloody bones” story, to frighten timid men
and more timid women and children,” &p.
Wc are glad to hear these disclaimers on the part of the
Central Organ, although we have but little confidence in tlieir
sincerity. We think they are extorted by the strong tide of
public opinion against even the thought of disunion, for cau
ses specified, such as the admission of California, and hence
the necessity laid on the Federal Union of repudiating the i
dea and ridiculing it as absurd. On no other supposition can
we account for the disclaimer in the face of avowals and bold
declarations of Rhett and others, of their purposes of dissol
ving the Confederacy if a certain ultimatum is not yielded.
’Tis perhaps a little too soon, in Georgia, to throw off the
mask, and hence the attempt to hoodwink the people a little
longer, till the torches of disunion are ready to be lighted and
the work commenced. To suppose that no such design is
meditated or planned, shows that he who so declares “belongs
to that class of logicians, who know little, think less and jump
to a conclusion” without regard to the premises and facts
whicli everywhere manifest themselves so plainly, that “a
wayfaring man. though a fool, need not err therein.”
“ Messrs. Fisk and Burr,
By their Biological humbuggings, arc doing more mischief
than they can repair. In Rochester and Chicago they have
occasioned cases of insanity from their teachings. The first
of these gentlemen has gained, heretofore, considerable
notoriety as a Universalist minister, editor, politician, etc.,
but seems now to bo in the zenith of his populaity, in his aim
to buil-.l up anew science, and adding another to the isms of
the day.”— N. Y. Express.
“ Burr is notorious in a small way in the same line of bu
siness. He had a congregation one time in Philadelphia,
was editor of a new-light quarterly called the Nineteenth
Century, and was the toady of the celebrated mock-drainat
ic, blood-and-thunder book-maker, George Lippard, whom
lie attempted to baptize a born genius, in a pamphlet of sixty
pages. Idle crazy humbugs of these men, are calculated to
delude the weak-minded, and, as it appears from the above
paragraph, have already wrought serious injury to society ;
and yet, the lecturers are puffed into notoriety by the press
for so much per square of leaded notices. This is wrong,
and the press should be held responsible to the public for the
imposition thus practiced upon society.” — Sav. News.
The foregoing criticism of the “News” is unworthy of
the immortal “ Maj. Jones ‘*! Two abler men than bisk &
Burr, it would be difficult to scare up, in the whole domains
of Science and popular Literature. As to their making any
one crazy, by their Biological lectures, it is all gammon. Nor
do we think the gross assault upon George Lippard by the
“ Major,” is becoming in one who is distinguished for a species
of writing, as much below Lippard's “ mock-dramatic, blood
and-thunder ” style (as he terms it) as the slang of the
“ hoosicr ” is below the refined phraseology of the accom
plished gentleman ! Os course, every one is entitled to his
taste and opinion in these matters, but those who live in
glass houses should be careful not to provoke a shower of
bricks upon tlieir own frail tenements, by too censorious and
captious a spirit of animadversion. That’s all!

The following is the vote in the Senate upon the fair and
reasonable proposition to submit the Texan boundary dispute
to the decision of a board of Commissioners, whose agree
ment should be binding on both parties, if ratified by Con
gress. From which vote it will be seen that Seward, Hale,
Ewing, Chase, Benton, Hamlin, $-c. were “cheek by jowl’’
with Butler, Clemens, Davis, V ulee, fee. in opposition to
the measure. Comment is useless !

“Give the Devil his Due.”
In our last, we stated that “ Andy ” of the Augusta Re
public, while in Macon, peddled out types and stamps! —
Such was our information, but we are inclined to think there
is a slight mistake in the matter. The article peddled by
this renowned gentleman was similar to that used by the
marking boys in the cotton ware-houses. A brass or cop
per plate, with the name of the duped purchaser cut through
it, over the face of which a blacking brush is passed and the
letters traced—(which the Jew pedlars sell at 50 cents each,
and the little “notion” pedlars, of New Orleans, sell for
three bits,) is the magic patent, by which “ Andy ” profes
sed to make the fortunes of his brother Attorneys ! To ex
cite the sympathy of his purchaser, he wliiningly alledges
that the maker of those plates resides in Kentucky, and is
largely indebted to his (Andy’s) wife’s estate, and that this
is the only way in which he can obtain the large amount
due him, in right of his wife. This is a correct solution of
of the traffic of “ Andy” in brass and blacking, according
to h:s own averment. We, therefore, take back that about
the types and stamps, until further advised, although, it is
probable, “ Andy ” may have branched out a little, in that
particular. And this we do, on the just principle of giving
his due even to Old Nick.
A word, now, as to sonic other peculiarities or idiosyncra
cies of our well-beloved friend “Andy.” Notwithstanding
his characteristic traffic in brass and blacking, “Andy”
has some respectable aspirations after the dignities and honors
of our Southern Aristocracy. He affects the “ exquisite/’
at times, and speaks very contemptuously of the promiscuous
character of certain “ pic-nics ” to which he happened to be
invited, in one of the eastern Counties, saving to a lady of
fortune, that he did not like such association as was there to
be found. The lady replied, that for her part she enjoyed her
self very well at the party ! To another lady lie gave the
important information that his wife was once very intimate
with Mrs. Amelia Welby, tlie sweet poetess of Louisville,
Ky., but that after the latter married, he directed his wife
no longer to associate with the wife of a grocer ! All this
conies of his being sent by Gov. Towns, to Nashville ! Evi
dently his pantaloonery has since grown too small for his car
cass !
Another peculiarity c{ this eccentric gentleman, is liis al
ternate scoffing at Cliistianity and the Bible, on the one
hand, and affectation of concern on account of the sins of his
soul, on the other. To tha Rev. Mr. S., he avowed himself
an infidel, while to tlie Rev. Mr. I*, he affected to be a peni
tent, shedding copious tears on hearing a poor African preach
of “righteousness and judgment to come!”
But time and space would fail to pursue further, at pres
ent, these interesting personal sketches of our hero. We
shall, therefore, have to defer some intended notice of his
brilliant professional career in Washington and Warren
Counties—his being ruled out of several eases in the former,
and the danger incurred in the latter, of being kicked out of
the profession—liis being “sent to Coventry ” by his breth
ren, generally, and giving a lie-bill to one in particular,—
his slimy tortuosities and “ ground and lofty tumblings,” Ac.
Ac., but these items will keep, for a season longer, and our
readers can afford, we think, to wait for the next chapter, see
ing the,present is so rich in detail and racy in incident.
N. B. “ Andy,” says that he lias grossly insulted us
aud wc have not resented it! “ Ton honor,” Andy, you
have done no such tiling. Cause why ?
“A well-bred gentleman will not insult us, nui no other
CAN.”
Again, “ Andy ” says that he “ can no longer an*. . to no
tice ” us, because of our bad character for verm . . lie
said the same thing, before, but did not keep his word,
thus proving himself exceedingly well qualified to lecture
on the virtue of truth!
Ones more. “Andy” calls us “Dapple,” “poltroon,”
“craven dastard,” liar and “driveller!” lie prates, also,
about jhe “ thumps,"’ and “ pliystck,” &c. This only
shows the force of early education in the formation of man
ners and in giving tone and point to phraseology. The odor
of tlie mule-lot has not yet evaporated, and w&ffoar, never
will ! Oh, Andy Hard Head Dawson ! Andy Hard Head
Dawson, oh !
Talbot Meeting. —After a free discussion af
Talbutton on tiro iZffth ult., in which Col. O. C. Gibi
son of Upson, and E. 11. Worrel Esq. of Talbot, too it
part, the Missouri Compromise line was repudiated
as a violation of tlie principle of non-intervention
and tlie Clav Compromise Bill sustained. The fol
lowing Union sentiment was embraced in Resolution
No. 5.
“ Resolved , That we will adhere to the Union of
these States while it remains the Union transmitted
to us by the patriarchs of the revolution, and we will
holdout and hold on tlie pillars of the Constitution
until the sacred temple shall go down in the storm
of faction and fanaticism which now threatens its de
struction, if go down it must, or in the language of
its great defender, ‘until the people shall come to
its rescue.’
‘A Step Downward. —Most of our citizens will
recollect Ethridge G. Eastman , formerly a printer
in this town, and the publisher of ‘The Abolitionist,’
the first ‘abolition’ paper ever issued in this State. —
Eastman went to Washington City some ten or
twelve years since, and from thence to Knoxville,
Tenn. Subsequently lie was appointed to a clerk
ship at Washington by President Polk, which after
holding a short time, lie resigned, and went to Nash
ville to take charge of the ‘Union’ in that city. Last
of all, to cap the climax in his downward career, he
was chief secretary of the late Nullification, Disun
ion Convention at Nashville ! How true is it, that,
the first step taken, ‘the wag to hell is easy,”
. Concord (W. H.) Democrat.
How true the remark of Mr. Clay, that tlie pres
ent crisis exhibits a most ‘extraordinary conjunction
of extremes.’ The fact that Eastman a notorious ab
olitionist Editor from New Hampshire was secretary
of the late gathering of Southern disunionists and
Nullifiers at Nashville, ought to open the eyes of
Southern men to the true character of that body.—
That their purpose was disunion is now 7 demonstrated
and what is worse, to accomplish that object, they
w ill fraternize in Congress and out of it with tlie
most rabid abolitionists of the North, w hose avowed
object has long been the dissolution of the union or
the overthrow of Slavery'. A nice ‘conjunction of
extremes,’ truly !
Meeting at Starksrsille, Ga.
About three hundred persons assembled at Starksville on
the 26tli ult., and were organised, by calling Rev. Jesse Da
vis to the chair and nominating John L. Suddoth as Secreta
ry. The following resolutions, after discussion, in which E.
11. Platt, W. A. Hawkins, M. E. Williams, James Johnston
It, T. Lyon and £. R. Brown, Esqrs., participated, were a
dopted by an overwhelming majority :
Resolved: 1. That we earnestly desire that Congress
should speedily settle tlie slavery question on any basis just,
fair and constitutional.
Resolved : 2. That we believe that the compromise pro
posed and reported to Congress by the Committee of Thirteen,
presents such a basis, and, that we recommend under the
circumstances, its adoption.
Resolved : 3. That the ultimatum presented by the Nash
ville Convention, to wit; the passage of the Missouri Com
promise with the addition of a positive recognition of slavery
south of that line, is at variance with the doctrine heretofore
contended for by the South —revolutionary in its character —
and tends to a dissolution of this government.
Resolved 4. That non-intervention by Congress upon
the subject of slavery, is that upon which the Soutli has
heretofore stood, and that we still adhere to the same princi
ple, and believe that it is the only doctrine that will secure us
in the enjoyment of our property, and regulation of our do
mestic institutions.
Resolved : 5. That as a peace-offering, we would again
acceptof tlie Missouri Compromise, though, the same is in
contravention of the great Southern doctrine of non-inter
vention.
Resolution : 6. That we arc not prepared for a dissolution
of this Union, and that we will not, and cannot consent to
the same, until every honorable expedient shall have been
tried and exhausted.
Resolved : 7. That cmr Representative, M. J. Welborn,
be. and is hereby respectfully requested, to vote for the com
promise bill now pending in the Senate, believing as we do,
that it is equitable, and that its passage will restore peace
aud safety to the country, and quell the revolutionary move
ments by which we are now surrounded.
Meeting in l psoil. —The Messenger A Journal
says, that after a free discussion at Thonaaston, last
week, and resolutions offered by each party, those
sustaining the Report of the Committee of the Sen
ate were [adopted by a vote of 123 to (50. Well
done, patriots of Upson ! The fact here disclosed is
only another evidence that the rank and file —the
masses ot the people—are averse to the mad schemes
of tlie Fire Eaters.
