. tho man who once charged upon us that our mistake as to
the birth-place of John A. Campbell of Mobile, was a dclib
iU ite w hich was the legitimate effect of our religious
faith’ We had classed Campbell as one of the “Chivalry”
wh’ his a correct classification. Smarting under our rebuke
T.rhis insolence, he now wakes up, after a sleep of months,
a,id joins the pack of mangy curs which are barking at our
heel- in bawling out, that we are a man of “northern feel
ings principles and practises” and pursuing an “insidi
ous course.” The cowardly scamp does well to clothe his
meaning in ambiguous words, to avoid the legal responsibili
• -,f the act. As it is, it oty shows the dishonorable and
sneaking propensities of the man.
In the *ome category of unprincipled Editors, do we class
(\s fipbell of the Federal Union, the man who gave some bril
j; lllt specimens of “tall walking” from South Carolina, in the
.lavs of nullification. He couples our case with that of an
abolitionist who was silenced in Savannah, with the pious in
tent, doubtless, of making the impression that we have com
mitted the sin of abolitionism, but which he dare not openly
go designate.
He says:—“On Friday last, the citizens of Macon, irrespec
tireof parties, at a large meeting, unanimously determined
that the •’Georgia Citizen,” a newspaper edited by Dr. An-
Jrows, in consequence of several articles of an anti-southern
ihsraeter that appeared in thw issue of that day, should no
longer be published in that city. An abstract of the proceed
ings of that meeting will be found subjoined. We regard
these proceedings, as an honor to the city of Macon, evincive
self-respect, and of the sentiments of true southern men.
They will be commended by all who appreciate truth and jus
tice, in tho momentous crisis through which the South is
passing.”
Articles of an “anti-southern character,” eh! That is a
g m'l hole for a big man to creep out of. Why not speak the
word plainly ? Why publish only an “abstract” of the mob
proceedings, and not the whole, preamble and all ? But con
temptible as this conduct is, the approval by this Editor of
mob law is conclusive as to the character of the man. He re
gards the proceedings as “honorable to the character of the
citisens of Macon” Ac. This is the deliberate judgment of a
man who professes to have been “renewed and regenerated in
his mind” by the influences of the Holy Spirit of Peace and
goodwill to men, and who has been clothed with authority, in
the Christian Church, to administer to his fellow men tho
emblems of the “broken body and shed blood” of a crucified
Radeemor! “Tell it not in Gath, publish it notin the streets
of Askelon, lest the Philistines rejoice and the daughters of
the uncirguincised triumph.” Oh Christianity, what horrors
are committed, daily, in thy name, and how is thy glory and
thy beauty beoomo dimmed by the wickedness of thy profess
ed votaries! But wo forbear. We shall certainly be excus
ed from further notico of one whose cloak of hypocrisy has
now been stripped from his recreant shoulders, revealing tho
man in all his unblushing wickedness before the public.
The Athens \\ hig avers that the inob meeting was occa
sioned by an “abolition article in the Citizen.” This falso state
ment wc shall expect to see corrected by tliat print.
Public Opinion.
Letters are pouring in upon us from every point of the
compass, congratulating us on our firm resistance to inob law
violence, and breathing a high toned and patriotic indignation
against those concerned in the late shameful proceedings.—
Home few of these letters arc given to show the spirit that is
abroad, in the land against anarchy, misrule and oppression,
of every form.
Accompanying many of these tokens of sympathy, we have
also received that substantial aid and encouragement which is
tatter than words. Nearly 100 names have been added to
onr subscription book, within a week past, and the cry is,
“still they come.” In the mean time we have lost less than
10, all told! This is a practical demonstration that the people
Appreciate an Independent Press, and will not stiller mob law
to prevail against it, without any cause, or on false and wick
ed pretences. This is indeed, the true way to rebuke men of
violence and blood, and bring them to their senses. Let the
people of Georgia and Alabama come to our rescue, in an en
larged and substantial support to our subscription, and the les
ion will not be lost upon those who have devised evil against
n. It is, moreover, due to us, that the false and scandalous
charge of abolition sentiments should be effectually met by
khu public voioe. This can bo cogently expressed in the way
designated and will enable us not only to sustain ourselves |
against all opposition, but will qualify us for increased and !
more effective labors, in the cause of peace and the Union.— J
We appeal then to cwry friend of law and order, every friend
of honest industry, and to every man of patriotic impulses, to
place us in the commanding position to which we have point

illob Law in Macon.
We have received a Georgia Citizen, Extra , in which the
Editor announces to his friends and subscribers, that he has
been violently estopped the further publication of his paper
by a portion of tho citizens of Macon. YY e have no other in
formation upon the subject than what is contained in this
Extra, and cannot, therefore, speak of the cause or causes
which provoked such unusual proccedure against Mr. An
drews. Os one thing we feel satisfied, and that is, that the
lutes of Georgia must be very deficient, if they are not cal
culated to meet any emergency that may arise between citi
zens of n common country. That the citizens of Macon, or
any portion of them, should so far forget the respect they
owe to themselves, to their city and to the State, as to vio- I
lently assail a gentleman in the peaceable discharge of his {
duties, and coerce him to the sacrifice of a business upon j
which a large and interesting family are dependant for sup- j
port, surpasses belief. We cannot realize tho idea, that men j
whoso names we see associated with this outrage, would as- ,
some to themselves the prerogative of accusing, trying and
condemning to disgrace and penury a free citizen of Georgia, I
in open violation of law, and to the prejudice of their moral j
obligations as good and peaceable citizens. Whatever may 1
have been Mr. Andrews’ offence, there is a proper tribunal to
which he is amenable, and to which his ease should have
been referred. Do these men reflect that they are establish
ing a precedent which may eventually lead to their own and
their city's destruction. Mob law ! The term is associated
“With the most disgraceful scenes in the history of our earli
est and most barbarous settlements. We thought the time
‘hadgone by when a man’s life and property were at the mer
cy of every enemy who was physically his superior.
b e do not believe that a majority of the citizens of Macon
” ill permit this outrage to be carried further, unless Mr. An
drews has been-guilty of something more heinous than we
n imagine ; nor do we believe, from what we have known
of him heretofore, that he could be capable of provoking
“uchan injury. We see the names of persons mentioned as
taking part against Mr. Andrews, icho are bound to see him
righted, if he has been unjustly assailed. — Marietta Heli

Correct Sentiments.—^ The Albany (Ga.) Patriot of
the 30th August has the following pertinent and sound article,
which was doubtless written in view of the late mob law
demonstrations against us in this city. The sentiments so
opportunely uttered are honorable to the Editor's understand
ing ;
Constitutional Law,
If there is any subject about which we should be more
Riuried, or more jealous of our rights, than any other, it is
the subject of the supremacy of constitutional law, and the
Mcre <l preservation of individual rights under the law, in all
ODr social relattons. We of course recognise the right of
in individuals or communities, where the
institutional law cannot, or will not, protect them. But
* u °h cases seldom occur. Let every good citizen reflect tliat
‘hough the unsettling of constitutional law, may seem for
‘ho moment to be accomplishing a proper object, yet they
‘ re setting an example, and iuvoking a spirit, which, in the
hinds of evil and malignant men would be one of the most
•'vribio scourges that was ever inflicted on a people. Should
!t become faehijnable, tliat the excitement of the hour is to
ge fa* to the occasion, every day will number its victims,
a nd anarchy, that worst of despotisms, will rule triumphant.
There is not a day passes, that does not witness its thou-
evils inflicted upon individuals and society ; the slan
ncrfcr, the incendiary and the murderer, or those who are
with these or other crimes, are entitled to the pro
” tan, as they must abide the condemnation of the law.
Vmong the rights that are held most dear, are life, liberty
■md property, and the freedom of speech and of the press;
““d these should not be violated, without the sanction of
institutional law or the most pressing necessity for self-

A Lying Sheet and a Lying Correspondent.
The Telegraph of Columbia S. C. of Aug. 30 and 31 hav
ing been placed m our hands by a friend, we feel bound to
brand both the Editor and his correspondent by the above ap
propriate designation, on account of two slanderous articles
therein contained. Someone writing of the Macon Mass
meeting and its tail, the mob meeting of the subsequent day,
says, that we promised never to publish another paper in the
city, and our name—the Georgia Citizen—is enclosed by him
in black lines, by way of infamous notoriety. The writer, be
lieved to be Brooks of Edgefield, remarks that “the thing
is working practically,” that is disunion ,if we understand his
meaning.
The Editor follows up his veracious correspondent, by cal
ling our paper a “miserable dirty sheet,” and pouring out up
on us a whole stomach full of billingsgate abuse. Well! we
hope lie now feels better, and that, hereafter, when the truth
reaches his ears, he will “like the dog return to his vomit,”
and re-swallow the whole of the nastiness which he has just
spued out. If W. B. Carlisle wishes to know more of us
than he now does, he can gain all needful information from his
General Agent, Dr. W. Carlisle, and of many respectable
citizens of his own town and State who have long known us
intimately, and know us to have been incapable of the sin char
ged npon us.
OllC Os XIlCID.—John Bilbo, one of the three mob
speakers at the meeting of the 23d ult., is out’in the Savan
nah Georgian, of the 3d inst., denying that he advised mob
law in his speech, on that occasion. He says :
in my address to the meeting I distinctly and emphatically
repudiated all recourse to Lynch or mob law ; but, at the
same time, I am tree to confess, tliat I earnestly and heartily
denounced the obnoxious articles contained in Mr. Andrews’
paper, as opposed to Southern rights and Southern Institu
tions, and as more injurious to the cause of the South than
the veriest free soil sentiments issuing from a Northern
press.”
iakiug the time and tho occasion of violent excitement,
and the fact, that Bilbo was a stranger in this city and had
no right to mix himself in a mob here, and tho public can
judge whether he has not confessed to more in this extract
than wo “virtually” charged him with. All we said about
him was that he, with two other strangers made “inflamato
ry ’ speeches. In the above he confesses to have “ earnestly
and heartily denounced the obnoxious articles” contained in
our paper! \Y hat then does this follow’s verbal disclaimer
of repudiating Lynch or mob law amount to, when he con
fesses to having been present at a mob meeting, and to have
heartily denounced the intended victim before a crowd of ex
cited and drunken men? Just nothing at all. He further
says that, as to the course to be pursued towards us, ho “de
clined to offer any advice or express any opinion,” and yet he
says he “emphatically repudiated” mob law! Was not the
latter an opinion ? Such contradiction of himself in a short
article would go to show that Bilbo lias not yet got over his
“spree’ at the Mass meeting. His intellect, never remark
able for brilliancy must still be in a fuddled condition. In
that condition he went into a mob assemblage and he should
not therefore complain of sharing the same fate which his
canine brother—“ poor Tray” —once had inflicted on him,
tor being fouud in bad company !
1\ S. YY hen Bilbo says that we have published “incendi
ary” sentiments in our paper, he “ lies in his throat”
Aon ('oimnercial Intercourse.— The Editor of the
Albany Patriot made a speech at the late Mass meeting here,
in which he took ground in favor of a trial of the non-inter
eourse remedy, before proceeding to secession or dissolution ;
and, subsequently, he has embodied the same views in an ed
itorial article in his paper. We give an extract:
“ Would State tax laws, discriminating between goods, or
property, be Constitutional ? In other words, have States the
Constitutional sovereign right of discriminating taxation in all
cases where they are not prohibited by tho constitution of the
United States ?
“ There can ba no doubt of this. The rights of the States
are clearly defined in the Constitution, which is our bond of
l nion—the States are acknowledged to be sovereign, and
possessed of nil the rights and powers of independent nations,
with the exception only of the powers which they have dele
gated in the Constitution. “ ‘The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the !
j people.’ ”
j “The only restrictions upon the tax power of the several
j States, are, Ist. No export or import tax can be laid—2d.
No preference can be given to the ports of one State over
those of another—3d. The citizens of each State aro entitled
to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several
States. These are the only restrictions upon the taxing pow
er of the State, and with neither of these do we propose to
interfere. We will neither tax exports or imports, or give
any preference to our own ports over those of other States,
nor make any differenes between the privileges and immuni
ties of Georgians and the citizens of other States ; if either
of them manufacture goods in Massachusetts, Georgia may
tax them within her own limits without being compelled to
tax goods of her own manufacture. She may exempt the pro
ductions of her own soil or her own manufactories from tax
ation, or grant them a premium, whilst she may tax any and
every other article within her limits.”
AS WC C\pCCtC(l.—lt has just leaked out, that, The
Nashville Convention pledged itself to the Texas representa
tive, Col. Henderson, to stand by the latter in her contest
with the United State's Government about the possession of
New Mexico. The Picayune makes the following statement:
“ Gen. John P. Henderson, who was a delegate from
Texas to the Nashville Convention, has made some remarka
ble statements in relation to the unwritten action of that bo
dy on this question. At a public meeting in the country of
San Augustine, among other significant things, he said that
he had “obtained” from the convention when at Nashville,
the “assurance that if the Government of the United States
should attempt to despoil Texas of her territory, the peoplo of
the South would assist Texas in making opposition thereto.”
“ Gen. Henderson says that in return therefor he ‘pledged
himself for the people of Texas, that she ‘would never con
sent to tin* alienation of any portion of her territory for the
purpose of curtailing and limiting the area of slavery.’ ”
Gov. Bell intimates in his recent Message, the States of
Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi, will aid Texas
in her present movement of raising troops, Ac., to march
against New Mexico. And exceedingly needful will she be
of that aid, having only 600 stand of arms and $34,443, iu !
her Treasury, and that taken from her school fund.
Who will now say tliat the Nashville Convention did not
meditate rebellion against the United States ? If any one is
so bold, let him look around him and sec tho evidence star
ing him in the lace at every turn.
Won’t Secede. —The Richmond ‘Times,’a rabid 36. 30 l
sheet, thus speaks for the old Dominion :
“Virginia is fully determined to defend Southern honor, but
she will not permit South Carolina, or the abortive mass Con
vention at Macon, in Georgia, to instruct her what Southern
honor is. A vast majority of the people would hail the imme
diate passage of each one of the Senate bills with loud demon
strations of joy.’
Executed —Professor John W. “Webster suffered the
extreme penalty of tho Law, at Boston, on Friday last, for
the murder of Dr. Farkman.

decline of 1-8 on middling qualities of cotton at Liverpool.
Sales of the week, 39,000 bales.
The Steamer Atlantic arrived at New York on the 3d inst.,
having left Liverpool on the 21st ult. and reports a further
decline of 1-4 penny, on ootton.
LOOk OUt —A certain nostrum tender of this city has
been heard to denounce the Editor of this paper as an “Abo
litionist and Traitor.” Proof of the fact is in our possession
sufficient to convict him before a jury of twelve men, of hav
ing uttered this libel against us. The alternative is therefore
laid at the door of his wash-house, of substantiating the
charge and justifying himself before the Court, or of publicly
retracting his allegation.
Congress. —The Fugitive Slave Bill has passed the Sen
ate, and is a very stringent and favorable one for the South.
The House has passed the General Appropriation Bill and is
now ready to take up the Bills from tho Senate, with a good
prospect of passing the whole of them.

Rev. Doctor Pierce’s Manifest.
In the Columbus “Sentinel” of last month, Doctor Lovick
I ieree has appeared with a long protest against the publica
tion, by Mr. Burras, of his (the Doctor’s) part of the recent
discussion at Americus. In justice to the gentleman, for
whom wo have great respect, personally, we give the follow
ing extract from his communication to the “Sentinel.” After
detailing the manner in which he became engagod in the de
bate, the Doctor says :
\A e met in Americus as set forth in the published de
bate. I revious to my leaving Columbus, a friend handed
me their paper in which was a notice that the debate would
be published in pamphlet form, and calling for subscribers. I
took this notice with me, and before the debate commenced
read it to the audience, and expressly forbid the publication of
anj thing as being said by me unless the reporter sent mo his
manuscript report and got my endorsment on it that I had
c xamined it and found it substantially correct—which en
dorsement I promised to give. The reason for this course
was because, in the plan agreed iqion Mr. 8. was allowed to
choose his own topics, arrange for himself in his own way,
and with the advantage of sixty or more days to post up him
self was to go on and defend his positions ; and I was to ro
ply iristanter as best I could. This I understood as a settled
, point between gentlemen. And after a reasonable time, I
received from tho reporter, Mr. Burrus, what he eallod the
report of my first speech. This speech I was two hours in
delivering, but read it at my leisure in twenty minutes. In
due course of days he sent me his second report. This was
an argument which occupied me closely my two hours, but
the report of it I could read in thirty minutes. The articles
sent mo constituted only a brief of my arguments, and does
me justas much injustice as would be done a lawyer or
statesman, if any one should publish the brief from which a
good argument was made, and call it the argument itself.
Provoked at the imperfect report, I forbid its publication ; and
to be manly about the matter, promised if they would wait j
until l could return from St. Louis, I would write out my I
part of the debate, so as to let it go under my name. But j
to my surprise and disgust when I returned to Georgia, I
learned they were offering the pamphlet everywhere for sale,
and my friends were all excited to fever heat about it. As
soon as my feelings would let me do so, I wrote again, renew
ing my prohibition and my promise, and stating to Mr. B. that
if after my manly course towards them, they published tho
work as it was, I would publish an expose of the whole mat
ter. To this lie replied in substance that the work was so
nearly through the press it could not be stopped ; and if I
publised any thing they would publish a rejoinder. The re
porter vainly seeks to cover himself by saying that lie sent
uig his manuscript, and I had it long enough to correct it and
would not do it.
“The truth of this, is what I will ask the world’s grand
j ury to settle at once. Can any man correct a speech of two
hours long 011 a brief of twenty minutes closely written—
when for every line in the reporter's manuscript he would
have to write at least three entire lines to get in the body of the
argument? The manuscript could not be corrected so as to
do me and my views any sort of justice without writing it all
out again. His brief was, so far as I saw it, pretty correct ;
but could not bo corrected, simply because it was a brief, and
could not be filled up. —To meet and remedy this defect, I of
fered to write it myself, and was virtually denied. What the
motive u-a., my jury must sot.”
The Doctor further announces his intention of publishing
his part of the discussion, in his own way and time. Os this
we arc glad, as the public can then judge what degree of in
justice has been done to Doctor Tierce, in the report of the.
debate which Mr. Burrus lias given to tho world. Indeed/
the Doetor does not charge tliat said report is inoorrect, but
that it is imperfect, by reason of its brevity. This brief, says
the Doctor, “so far as I saw it, was pretty correct, but could
not be corrected simply because it was a brief and could not be
filled up.” The defect consisted, then, in its brevity, not in
any misstatement of the Doctor’s argument or language.
This detect however, we are assured, was owing to the ne
cessity of absence on the part of Doctor P., for Mr. Burrus
would much have prefered that the Doctor could have writ
ten out his own speeches.
One discrepancy is observable in the above, which we will
point out. The Doctor says that on his return from St.
Louis “to his surprise and disgust” lie learned, they were
“offering the pamphlet every where for sale,’’ but that after
wards, “as soon as his feelings would permit, he wroto to
Burras, threatening an expose, if the work was not stopped,
to which Burrus replied that the work was so nearly through
the press, that it could not be stopped.” Evidently then,
the pamphlet could not have been offered, every where for
safe, at the time of the Doctor’s return from St. Louis, as it
was sometime after that before it was through the press !
YY'e are also assured that the proposition was fairly made to
Doctor Pierce, to join in the expenses and profits of the pub
lication—each party to prepare his own side for the press—
but that Doctor Pierce utterly refused to go into any such ar
rangement. YY'e cannot therefore help supposing that the
Doctor has made the foregoing manifest, from a conviction
that the public and his own church are by no means satisfied
with his performance at Americus. lie feels the necessity
of doing something to regain the position be lias evidently
lost, by that debate, and hence this long-deferred protest and
fault-finding with the reporter and publisher of the same. It
remains to be seen, whether lie will be able to regain any
new laurels, iu the polemical field, when hit promised version
of the discussion and his “objections to Universal ism, gene
rally” shall have been ushered before the public and shall
have passed under the dissecting knife of tho reviewer. On
one point wc may be allowed to make a suggestion for the
Doctor’s benefit—and tliat is, when he comes to state bis
“Objections to Universalism” he will not bring against that
doctrine the “railing accusation” that it is licentious in its
tendency , with the evidence before him, about this time,
(sc judire) that Methodism does not infallibly secure its vo
taries frem sin and pollution !

thebaic box is open to receive the Ootton, and it may be put as near
the Gin House as is desired. It is threr times as powerful as a screw
of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one
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 equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, and can be so modi tied as to answer any
purpose where r Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. 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, &e. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the
crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
sTlie whole cost of the Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had
oft:. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person*authosized to furnish
CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON,
This will certify. That I built and used one of Mr. A. I). Brown's
Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, aud am fully satisfied
that it is the best that.l have seen. I found no difficulty in building
from the directions furnished by Mr. Brown, and found it much less
work than to build the Screw.
My brother Abram Johnson used the press for his crop, and was so
well pleased with it that he intends building one at his own place for
his next crop. WILLIAM JOHNSON.
