niobocracy is the only rightful remedy, unless—since the day
and date aforesaid, these gentry have changed their opinions
of the nature and efficiency of the penal code of Georgia,
which nobody believes
impudent assumption of Authority.— We
notice a statement going the rounds of the press
chartring Gov. I owns with having secretly pledged
the State of Georgia to tight for Texas against the
United States, incase of a difficulty about the boun
dary between that State and New Mexico. If this
ho .so, it i one ot the most bare-faced assumptions
of power ever exercised.
The Georgia Block of Marble • —A corres
pondent of the Journal <fc Messenger, writes from
Madison, that the Georgia Block of Marble for the
Washington Monument has just been completed at
that place, by Mr. Cyrus Moorehouse, and that on
examination of the stone by several gentlemen, they
discovered, underneath the beautiful pillars and arch,
the following disunion inscription :—“ The Union
as it was—The Constitution as it is On inqui
ry it was found that Gov. Towns had ordered Mr.
Tait, the Contractor, to put said inscription upon the
block ! Was there ever a greater outrage perpe
trated by a public servant upon the sovereign people
•of Georgia ! We have no words to express our pro
found astonishment at the atrocity of the act. —
What ! A block of marble, in honor of the Father
of his country, to be made the medium of insult to
a large portion of the people of Georgia ! Patriotism
nnd honor forbid! Let no such block evtr be allow
ed to reach Washington, unless in a pulverized con
dition.
The Senate Sound. —The Washington Corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin thus describes
the withering rebuke which those Abolitionists,
Chase and Seward, received lately, in the Senate. —
It is a good omen that those fanatical demagogues
will not longer be permitted to disturb the peace
of the country, by their villanous intermedling with
slavery:
“ This morning, while the ptean of rejoicing is still
heard throughout the land, Mr. Chase, abetted by
his great leader, Mr. Seward, cooly asked the Sen
ate to take up and consider a bill for the abolition of
slavery in the Territories, thereby confirming a recent
prophecy, that the serpent, ‘though scotched, is not
dead, but lives again.’ His proposition was met by
an indignant rebuke —so unanimously indignant,
that, like a criminal discovered in the act, he begged
permission to withdraw his bill.”

ANOTHER DECLINE IN COTTON.
The Steamer Pacific arrived at New York on
Saturday last, making the trip in ten days and six
hours.
The Markets.
The transactions in Cotton during the three bus
iness days preceding the departure of the steamer
reached 15,000 bales, 4,600 of which were taken on
speculation and by the trade. Prices had declined
an The Havre market was quiet, and prices un
changed.
Stark llad.-We regret very much to see our friend j
of the Columbus “ Sentinel ” so rabid fer a dissolution of the
Union, lie is perfectly crazy on the subject—a political
monomaniac that sees every thing with hlood-shot eyes
My dear fellow, how can you, a Christian professor, and sensi
ble man, talk after the following fashion ?
“We ark for secession, open, unqualified, secession.
Henceforth WE ARE FOR WAR UPON TIIE GOV
ERNMENT ; it lias existed hut for our ruin, and to the ex
tent of our ability to DESTOY it, it shall exist no longer.”
Again—speaking of the preamble to the United States
Constitution and the action of Congress, he says:—
“ llow strafrgeiy contradictory are the terms of that pre
amble, and the history of the present session of Congress ?
Has its session produced a more perfect Union! Has it
established justice ? J las it ensured domestic tranquili
ty? Has it provided for the common defence? lias it
secured the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos
terity ! So far from it, it has severed that spirit ot harmo
ny and good will which could alone secure the Union ; it has
wantonly disregarded the plain dictates of justice; it has
thrown a fire brand into our midst which has totally destroy
ed every thing like domestic tranquility; it has turned its
aggressions upon one of the sovereign States of the confed
eracy ; it has legislated for the ruin of one-half of the Union,
and has laid the axe to the tree of liberty. And this is the
Union which Southern men arc expected to fall down and
worship.”
Were we called on to answer the questions contained in
this extract, we should do it, affirmatively. Congress lias
done much, the present session, to produce “ a more perfect
Union,” and to promote “ domestic tranquility”—and would
have done more, had it not been for Northern Fanatics and
Southern Ultras. But hear our brother onee more on the
subject of the ensuing Convention :
“ W e are not disposed to trammel the action of that Con- |
Yention. We wish the men who will compose it, left free
in determining what that redress shall be, and we shall acqui
esce in its decision. We have our preferences, and they
already been made known. We see no remedy for our
grievances short of secession. We have no hope that our
rights can be secured in the Union, and we are ready to go
•out of it. Had we the power, therefore, to dictate the
action of this Convention, our first step would be a De
claration of Independence, and the next, an invitation to
onr-sister -States of the South to unite with us in the forma
tion of a Southern Republic.”
So say, the “ Telegraph,” the “Times,” the “ Republic,”
flie “ Constitutionalist,” and “ Federal Ruin,” &c. These :
Journals have all committed themselves to “open unquali
fied resistance,” and we do not mean to let inem slide out
from that position and deny hereafter, (as was the case touch
ing the Nashville Convention,) that Disunion is the remedy
\which they seek.
A Letter and Reply.
Constitutionalist, Office. |
Augusta, Sept. IT, 1850. )
Sr* .—Yours of the 10th inst., demanding the name of
the writer of a certain letter sent from Macon which referred
to the proceedings of a meeting in Macon, which denounced
the Georgia Citizen,” as an unfit paper for this Meridian,
n extract from which letter was published in the Constitu
tionalist, arrived here during my absence.
In reply I state that the letter in question was written by
1 gentleman in Macon to a friend of his here. It was a pri
letter, and not intended for publication. Ihe gentleman
whom it was addressed was induced to allow the publica
tionof the extract which appeared in rny paper.
I a*sme the full responsibility of that publication with all
‘ ,J| consequences. You are welcome to seek legal redress
•Agtinst me, or any other sort of redress you may choose.
I remain, Respectfully
your obed't. Serv’t.
JAMES GARDENER, Jr.
Mr. L. F. W. Andrews.
e give the foregoing to our readers, that they may see
•bat an honorable set of Editors we have to deal with. Here
16 one confessing to have published n private lefter, which he
18 assured, and—of himself well knows, contained an un-
Musking falsehood ! Instead of giving the name of the
aQ th<w or correcting the error in his columns, when a re
•pectful demand is made for such simple justice, he very
Partly assumes the responsibility of the lie, and chivalrously
lnl -i mates his readiness to meet the legal or “ any other sort
°] redress ” which we may choose to institute ! This we
insider as tantamount to no redress at all. To seek legal
r, urBB would probably bring the pecuniary gain which the
adage Mys results from suing a beggarly fellow. And as to j
other sort ” spoken of, Jim Gardner, jr. knows obvi
rtasons why that mode could not be adopted by us, even
w ereour antagonist of such pure and spotless private repu
k°n a t*the killing of him, in mortal combat, would be a

Mobile Tribune —Some Mobile friend of ours hav
ing taken the Tribune Editor to task for denouncing us as an
abolitionist, the latter has graciously condescended to allow
that we “ may be a gentleman worthy of all esteem”-that
indeed he never “impugned any characteristic which he
(our friend) claims for Dr. Andrews, as an individual &c.
The L ’ ltor ot thc Tribune, however, still persists in his de
nunciations of us. We are charged with being “ always ex
ceedingly violent and occasionally ecurri W’-that we have
” assaulted and abused some of the best men of the South,
and that our manner is “ indecent” and our language “ un
gentlemanly and gross.” Queer notions the Tribune has of
what constitutes a gentleman ! If his description be just, a
genllemaf, may be scurrilous, indecent, and ungentlemanly,
at the same moment! The fact is, that the Tribune has
blundered deeper into the mire in his response to his fellow
townsman than before. To make good his own position, he
lias not only repeated the offence against us, but has added
thereto the injustice of new charges, which are as baseless as
the first published by him. We challenge him to thc proof
of his allegation that have abused any patriotic man of
the >outh, or that we have been “ scurrilous” or “ indecent.”
The proof, sir, the proof-Hjr never hold up your head again
among gentlemen, even as you understand the term. Sure
are we, that no friend of ours, in Mobile, can help feeling in
sulted at the insinuation of your article that he could be “ in
timately acquainted by years of familiar intercourse ,” with
one, who, according to your account, is “scurrilous’’ “ inde
cent,’ Ac., say nothing of your acknowledgment and self
condemnation therein, of having, for years, been accustomed
to exchange with and read the paper of such a “ gentleman !”
P. S. There is one thing we have not done, which the Mo
bile Tribune dares not give us credit for not doing. We
have not published the incendiary document sent out to
Southern Slaves by the white and black abolitionists of Caze
novia, N. Y., nor any part thereof.
Ambassador from Turkey.— There is now in
\\ Arlington City, an Ambassador from Turkey, sent
out by the Sultan, to examine into the resources Ac.
ot the United states. lie is treated with great re
spect, and it is proposed to appropriate ten thousand
Dollars to pay his expenses through the Union. It
is said that the Sultan has notified our government
of his willingness to send Kossuth and his compan
ions to England, provided our government will bring
them thence to the United States.
The Georgia Citizen.— Mr. Andrews, the editor of
the above-named paper, whom I have before noticed for his
boid honesty of speech, and his manly articles in favor of
union, has been warned by a mob of ruffians and desperadoes,
(if I understand the characters right from his statement,) to
discontinue his paper. It lie does, under the circumstances,
he is a coward ! Think you I would let a clique of fifty or
sixty armed men tell me what I should do with my oten pro
perly ? No, ten thousand times, no ! Die atr your post,
ratherthan shrink from your duty!”— Ned Buntline's Own.
Good Boj • ihe editor of the Macon Georgia Citizen,
still stands to his post like a man. The “ Citizen” of Sept,
bth, is before me—later than the extra alluded to elsewhere
in tnis paper. Mr. A. has my sympathies and my respect
for his manhood. -Ib.
I hank you, Ned. 1 our respect and sympathy are cordials
to my heart. But, let me whisper a word—l “couldn’t do any
tiling else tinin stand to my post like a man.” Cause
” ‘*l • L “as the only alternative. Ruin and degradation
were else my doom. Besides, what is life without honor ?
*’ Geoigia (luZCfl.—M e notice that this paper makes
its regular appearance, notwithstanding the resolutions of the
large and respectable meeting whose committee gave him
peremptory orders to close. Why have they not enforced
tlicir commands ? Is the sin of the “ Citizen” any less now
than at the time of the meeting ? A pretty set truly, to un
dertake to be the special guardians of the South, and then
just let one oid man set them at defiance ! Perhaps the gen
tlemen have learned that they are neither the whole people
nor the South.” —Rome Bulletin.
Take care, friend Bulletin, how you speak of the Editor of
the Citizen.” “ Old man,” indeed ! Not a bit of it, for
this many a year, sir. We are only in our prime now, and
will not reach our zenith, for several years to come. At all
events, some of our enemies think we are young enough and
vigorous enough to withstand our adversaries, though they j
should come in scores and count by hundreds !
Andy Dawson, again. —Nearly two columns of a I
late Augusta Republic have been taken by its Junior D., in
trying to bolster up his reputation as an eminent lawyer, pro
found statesman and polished, gentleman! Several certificates
of character have been paraded by him before the public,
with this intent, but as is usual, in this last straw-catching
resort ol sinking mortals to save them from perdition, his
witnesses prove the fact alledged, that he did act as counsel
for the State in a case before the Superior Court, and after
wards, took a fee from the convicted prisoner to aid in carry
ing an appeal to the Supreme Court! Such conduct may be
legal, but the profession generally do not think so.
Andy has not, however, a word to say about the nice fine
&c., that he caused to be placed upon bis Jefferson County
client, for slapping the preacher’s face, by his fierce denunci
ation of religion and its apostles! Can't we have the Judge’s
certificate on that head, also ?
When “ Andy,” however, says, that “an avalanche of
public indignation crushed our Journal into temporary but
ignominious silence,” or, when he compares the Citizen to
Cassius Clay’s abolition sheet, all the certificates which he
can manufacture, between this and the crack of doom, would
not establish his reputation either as a man of honor or as
having the least reverence for truth. These statements have
about as much of the latter commodity as had the pretension
of Andy, whilom, to be the nephew of Senator Dawson ! In
fact, 6o low has “ Andy” become in Augusta and elsewhere
where known, that even the high reputation of our old friend
and Deacon, J. Smythe, Esq., is sadly damaged by his un
fortunate association with such a fellow !

BROWNS
ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
1 1 ''HE 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
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 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of course the horse lias to walk but one
third as far, for the reason that aleveris 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
thc 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 in'idilied 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-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if acast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the work to build
ns a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, be. 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.
sThe whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $45, which may he had
ofC. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish
hem. This sura 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 sls 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 can construct the Press from the
drawings and specifications which will accompany each right.
I shall sell a single right at S2O, which sunt 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
oied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
ne able to build the Pross, Any communications, post-paid, will be
bunctually attended to. A. D. BROWN.

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 best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve
ry essential; can be placed as near the lint room as desired, andean be
easily covered in and made very durable.

M. S. THOMSON, 31. 13,,
MACON, GEORGIA,
FOR 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 efl'ects 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 mi st hopeless character after
all other means had failed, and that too, in many instances, without tee
ing 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 absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun
dreds of others could cure.
Such cases can be pointed out in almost every 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 back 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 finger posts at every post ofiice and cross
roads.pointing the way the city of refuge.
Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he 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 be 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 character, are of the last importance.
The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in tire cheap
postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap
pily can indirectly attribute their present good health ro that noble spe
cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who may
reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let
the afflicted if be 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 amount will
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 treatineut is only (ssl 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 moot li
ly, or ofteuer, as may he necessary, and closely watch the progress of
the cure.
Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to females, lie would say that they may avail them
selves of liis knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence
and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express
themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of
the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the
charge will be increased.
Such cases as require personal attention, will be treated on libera
terms in the city, where the necessary accommodatious can always
be had.
Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address
a post-paid letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mi il to
the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt.
