The Georgia citizen. (Macon, Ga.) 1850-1860, September 20, 1850, Image 3
“raff | yaW in f onsrross.—Some of the silly raem i mnffre*’ have been trying to put the screws “neV BOitor of the ffnion at Washing ” Lto compel him to answer at the the bar ol UlMl , n or Committee, concerning the cor -110 of hi? l i es? who held office under Mr. IMk'l-Mr Ritchie and Mr. C. Sangsteck, President \°. ’hiniHon 1 democratic Association, refused ■° 1 ie gwe r when Stanley of X. C. moved that these to ca ]led up and punished for contempt tl /authority of the House ! After some debate, i V resolution was finally rejected, by a vote of yeas 4P nays 133- Verily, the days of the elder Adams —the days of gag-law , of “Alien and sedition law,” —are coming back upon us. Hut such proceedings Mill not cure the evil of contempt , which the people generally begin to feel towards the occupants of the brand National Bear-Garden of the House of Con gress, but will rather deepen such emotious. The fat in a Meal Tub , —The proposition has been | thrown out, in high quarters, that in the election of Dele gates to the coming Convention which the Governor lias de termined to call, that the people should select their most pru dent men and best counsellors, without reference to their viiivs on the great question of Union and Disunion ! This is now the ruse to be played by the Disunionists, who hope, by such means to introduce a respectable number of Fire waters into the Convention, and effect, by stratagem, what thev cannot do by fair means, lint we trust, the people are not quite so green as to be caught in any such snare. “We should see to it, that the issue is fairly made—of Union or Disunion—and nothing else. Personal friendships and old party ties will not weigh a feather with us in the choice of Delegates—nor will we support any man for membership in the Convention, who will not previously and fully avow him self in favor of law, order, and the constitution and the Union of the States. Let the people awake to a sense of tho importance of the approaching struggle. Let them remem ber that a desperate faction of broken-down politicians seek to “ ruie or ruin” this good old Commonwealth, and will leave no stone unturned to accomplish their purposes. With every true man and patriot, now is the occasion for heeding the admonition—that “ eternal vigilance is the price of lib erty.'’ Let every honest man “ show his faith by his works,” iu the putting down of disorganizes and the restoration of peace and harmony to our private and public counsels. Southern Rights Associations • —These Clubs are j now being formed in various parts of the State, with the avowed object of so acting upon the public mind as to secure a majority of disunionists in the proposed convention, and to cause tbat body to commit the State to all the horrors of civil war, recession and revolution 1 To our mind, these “clubs” are jacobinical and treasonable, and should be looked after by the United States authorities. Where are the District At torneys and the U. S. Marshals? Now tbat the agitating subject of slavery has been disposed of in a satisfactory man ner, by Congress, all further movements towards disorgani zation and rebellion should be discountenanced and suppress ed. In themselves, these political clubs are justifiable, but the members thereof should beware, lest the treason which may there be hatched, may find consummation in some overt act that may demand condign punishment. The friends of law and order, and of the peace and safety ol the South, should be extremely careful, how they permit themselves to be seduced into an affiliation with associations of such dubi ous character. “ Hands off. ’ “Touch not tnc unclean thing.” I What Constitutes Mob LRW ? —A rabid Disuuion iht of this county is so earnest in his indignation against our political severity, that while lie denies that we have ever hern tainted with abolitionism, he yet supports the action of the mob meeting against us as eminently proper and just! He disclaims, however, the title which every body but hira eelf gives to the proceedings. It was no mob, says tins dis tinguished jurisconsult and philologist, but a civil meeting of the citizens! lie thinks that it takes a band of rowdies and not a meeting of “ respectable” gentlemen, to make a mob ! Hut. if men deemorl respectable are led on to do the work of rowdies, have they not thereby entitled themselves to the Mine appellation ? At least wc can only make two classes of mobocracy out of the distinction thus started by our quondam friend—and to which we may give the titles of a “ rwg v mob” and a “ gentlemanly mnh” ! “ How strange a difference there should bo Twixt tweedledum and tweediedee !” But hold ’. There is another class —composed, both of “ row dies” and “gentlemen”—as was the case on the 23ri of August—a sort of mixed or composite order,—a “ little sorter” mob-ish, and a “little sort not”—“ half horse and half alligator.” In this case, then we have no other way to designate the species of the “ critter ” but by an examination of the head and the tail. These extremities being known to the public, they can form tlicir own conclusions concerning the animal 1” Murder.— On Friday last, Rufus J. Pinckard Esq. Clerk of the Superior Court of Monroe County, was shot dead in the streets of Forsyth, by Joseph Cohron, Publisher oj,’ the “Bee.” At the examination of the affair on Saturday, it appeared in evidence that Cohron was not the author of an abusive article in the Bee of “Wednesday previous, but that it was concocted by a clique of disunionists in Forsyth, with the view to provoke Mr. Pinckard to a difficulty in which his life might be the sacrifice. Cohron was advised to shoot him in some fleshy part of his person, so as to wing him, but this counsel being rejected by Cohron and the dec laration made that lie would shoot him in the head or breast, his advisers assented to the arrangement and it was accor dingly so executed. Cohron has been remanded to jail toa wait his trial. With Mr. Pinckard we had no personal acquaintance, but he had the reputation of being a highly meritorious and pop ular citizen, who has thus fallen a victim to the ruthless spir it of the times, for the sake of his political opinions. Information Wanted. —AVe will give Five Dol lars reward for an authentic history of the famous “Poney Club” that had an existence in Carroll C. <r a. in 1832, or thereabouts, and its exploits in the highly honorable vocation for which said ( lub was instituted, together with a certified copy of the Rec ords of the Court touching the indictment ot some of the gang for participation in poney stealing. Al so, the same sum will be paid lor a correct account of the Lynch Law proceedings of that time .against one Leathers for being chief ot the Club, and ot the manner in which his consulting legal friend escaped the slicking, which Leathers got. A\c may have use shortly for the information desired and wish it to lie as full and complete as possible. R+F’ Ae w ill likewise pay a trifle, for correct biographical sketch es of one Howard of Crawford C. and Bilbo late ot lbker C. the persons who officiated as High Priests ,J i Mobocracy here on the 23d day ot August last. More of the Mol) Spirit. The article subjoined from the Marietta ‘Helicon of last ueek, will confirm what we have heretofore ?aid respecting the plots of the Disunionists against the entire Union Press of Georgia. Private ad\ices from Cobb C. corroborate the Editor s statement ot the intention of some evil-disposed persons to mob his press. In this case” there is no pretext of aboli tionism put forth by the conspirators, (as there was ‘u our case) to justify such proceedings. Well, we hope that when they do come on such an errand a “arm reception awaits them. Let the Editor and publishers stand firmly, at their posts, and if assail ed, be ready, if needs be, to give them “a little more grape.’ More Mob Law. “We have been informed that there is a plot maturing *°r the injury of this establishment—for its demolition. How tver reliable the source of our information, M T e are compelled to believe that there must be some mistake. AY e are not conscious of having done or said anything to provoke an in jury of the kind threatened, and we cannot believe the pco- P **,°f this country to be so reckless of their moral and civil obligations as to seek, by violent and illegal means, the de duction of our property, or the injury of our person. We now that several of the ultra newspaper editors ot the *~tule have rendered themselves infamous in the estimation of honorable men, by hinting at such a base course to rid themselves of opposition and and to suppress freedom of dis cussion ; but we have looked upon them as too contemptible to wield any influence, and have failed to brand them with the villany they meditate. m w lth We reiterate the opinion, there must be some mistake in the information we have received. But if it should prove true—if (here are men base enough to offer injury and insult to those who have never wronged them in thought, word or deed—they will find ns at our post exercising the privilege of a free citizen of Georgia. They will find us expressing our honest sentiments of right, and our condemnation of wrong, and if for this they offer injury to our person or proper ty, upon their own heads be the consequences—and God de fend the right !’ Letter from Jones County.

Kitcliings Griswoldsville Jones county Ga Reply —I did not understand you Air. K. or I should not have sent j*ou another copy of the the “ Georgia Citizens newes. ’ Shall not trouble your sovereignty anj’ further ! Editor. The best abused paper” of the country. To give our readers some insight into the character of the abuse heaped upon us, by a corrupt and unprincipled press, we continue selecting from our exchange and other papers, such rare specimens of billingsgate as may strike us as pe culiarly rich. r lhe Columbia, S. C., State Bights Republican, published by 1. C. Morgan, a worthy Brother of the I. O. F. Frater nity, thus speaks: “The Georgia Citizen*.—lt was with mingled feelings of surprise and indignation, that last evening we received a copy of this infamous publication, Bearing date the Oth instant, and teeming with the most virulent abuse of some of our most respectable fellow-townsmen. As the gentlemen, however, so unjustly villified by that disgrace to the Press of Georgia, L. F. W. Andrews, will doubtles themselves take notice of his base attack upon them, w r e shall content ourselves with informing that contemptible individual that we desire not to see his filthy sheet, and we regret much the inhabitants of Macon have rescinded their former determination regarding itspublication. L. F. W. Andrews maj* perchance find to his cost that abusive tirades are not borne patiently 7 by the citizens of Co lumbia, that is to say, if thej* should condescend to notice such a foul-mouthed brawler. He is utterly beneath the at tention of any gentleman. A man using the language we we find in the Citizen, is only worthy of being classed among the vilest of the brute-creation.” This is the answer of one of tho “ chivalry’,” to our late comments on the speech which Mr. Treadwell, of Columbia, delivered at the mass meeting, here on the evening of the 22nd of August, grossly abusive of the Hon. Henry Clay. Our crime consists in telling the truth of the imported speakers from Palmettodorn, that’s all! “ The Georgia Citizen*. —The Ishmaclite at the head of tills contemptible sheet, lias thought proper, from time to j time, to pour upon us his vials of vituperation and abuse, i either bj* himself or through some no less contemptible cor respondent. We accept it in all complaisance. Whenever we shall find that such men think well of us and praise ns, i we shall suspect ourself of some sort of meanness ; but as long as we rest under their displeasure, vve feel the assurance that there must be traits worthy of commendation about us. We trust we shall ever so demean ourself as to meet their most hearty condemnation.” So said Maj. Cline—the great-kicked-off-the mass-meeting scaffold-Editor of the “Jeffersonian” of Griffin. He is a nice old man to flatter himself as “ possessing traits worthy of commendation” after the exhibition given here of his pu sillanimous and sneaking spirit ! If we had a mangy dog that would’nt bark, when kicked, as Cline was, we would bang him by the neck to the nearest tree, till he was dead, sir. The Mobile Tribune says, thus, of the N. O. Delta : 41 The Delta, in allusion to the recent expulsion of Dr. An drews from Macon, says: “ We arc no advocates nor abet tors of Lynch law, but the appearance of such language as the above in a paper published in a slave-holding communi ty, is unjustifiable—it is intolerable, and a due regard for the peace of society and the protection of property, should dic tate to Mr. Andrews, and if not to Mr. Andrews to his neighbors, that Macon is not the meridian for such a press as his.” The Delta is “ ahead of the music,” if it made any such remarks. Dr. Andrews has not been expelled from Macon —nor likely to be. Nor did he publish any thing in liis paper, which would have excited the least attention, at any other time than the mass meeting epoch in this city. The whole mob scheme was concocted weeks before the “Citizen” of the 23rd of August appeared, and was based on political grounds entirely. Our print was not a Disunion print. Hence the mob, composed almost exclusively of Disunionists and Fire-Eaters, and hence the approval of the mob pro ceedings by the Delta and other prints of the same kidney ! They may, however, before this time have learned the fact, that 19-*2otlis of this community have spoken out against mob law and fully sustain the Citizen and its Editor. The mobocrats have backed square out from tlieir nefarious pur poses, and there are few men, now, in this community “ so poor as to do them reverence.’’ But now for the other side. There are still some honest prints in the land who dare speak the words of “ truth and soberness.” The Washington Gazette, says : “Not dead Vet.—The Georgia Citizen carr.e to us last week in flying colors, notwithstanding the edict for its abo lition. The Macon meeting, instead of tying the hands of the editor, seems rather to have put him in the highway of fortune, judging from the long lists of new subscribers ho is daily receiving. The “American Mechanic,” of Athens, has the following: “ The “ Georgia Citizen” of last week, came to hand neither “shaven nor shorn.” We were glad to see it, for however objectionable the “ Gabriel” letter might be con sidered, we think Dr, Andrews did all that could reasona bly lie expected from him, when he explained and gave the Author's name. If the liberty of speech and the press are to be abridged, without good and sufficient cause—and that too, by Lynch Lava —then “ a long farewell” to Freedom and sound Republicanism.” The “ Chattanooga Advertiser” talks thus : “ The “ Georgia Citizen,” published at Macon, is again under way, in spite of Mob Law. Tho Editor shows spunk, and seems determined to vindicate the Freedom of the | Press.” ; DIED.

BROW’S ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. riMIE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority I over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever I will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of j 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 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the liorse has to walk but one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third aslong 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 tho 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 modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourtJu less workto raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the u-ork to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Uav, fee. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the j crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built. sThe whole cost oft he Irons will not exceed $45, which may be bad ofO. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made oflron, the cost will he 10 or sls more for the Iron work, hut it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at S2O, which sum can be sent by mail at my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster pf the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will ne able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be bunctually attended to. A. D. 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, w’ith confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power, convenienceand simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation, eth best 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 be easily covered in and made very durable. Samuel Griswold, I Thomas Hunt, Horatio Bowen, | Jona. Parrisii. April 2d, 1850. 6 —ts CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON, This will certify, That I built and used one of Mr. A. D. Brown's Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, and am fully satisfied that it is the best that 1 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. Mv brother Abram Johnson used the press for his crop, and was so well pleased with it that he intends building one at his ■ a place for bis next crop. WILLIAM JoLNSON. Jones County, June ,i-1850.

IT'OR a period of over thirteen years, it has been the province of . the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished from poisonous substances, to which from childhood, they have been accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects upon the constitution, many of them are living witnesses. The success which during this long series of years has attended his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the old order of things, and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in medicine, as in other branches of the physical sciences, new ideas may be advanc ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a coming age, may find easy of accomplishment. This succeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after all other means had failed, and that too, in many instances, without .re in ? the patient, has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting as it does, in bold relief the difference between restoring a case that has been obso/utel y abandoned and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can be pointed out in almost ex*ery county in Georgia, where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every local means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a description of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of miles, and received hack those health restoring remedies that have restored them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new linger posts at every post office and roads,pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, lie would yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and can he cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with the ex ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient, which in all cases of a lingering cha ‘actor, are of the last importance. The great facilities for this kind ol treatment presented in the cheap postage system, lias been taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who way reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let the afflicted if lie cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for him, give a history of his case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the aiuouut wiH answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great distances,) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address, when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only 53) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive your medicines with as much precision as you would a letter; pre pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of tlie cure. Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them selves ofliis knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express themselves witli the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the charge will he increased. Such cases as personal attention, will be treated on libera terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always be had. Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address a post-paid letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mail to the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt. 111. S.
