tboy will grow up instead of sending them to the North to be converted into upstart thing's, who will come back to us babbling a thousand nonsensical isms. Let us, if we needs must go somewhere in the summer timo as is the fashion of the latter days, hie us to the tops of our own glorious mountains to breathe an air pure and invigorating as nnv ever God breathed upon the world, or betake us to the eide of our own balmy seashore where the orange and the mystic make the sky fragrant as Italian climes, instead of go ing to Cape May and Free Niggerdom to get into rows with insolent domestics. Let us pursue this policy, really and tru ly, in acts as well as words, taking upon ourselves the self-de nial in our domestic liab.ts necessary td accomplish it. Then shall the South blossom as the rose, and all our grievance be removed by a remedy legal, constitutional, and peaceful.” Letter from Albany Georgia. ALBANY, October 21, 1850. Dr. Andrews. —Dear Sir: There appeared in the last “ Albany Patriot ,’’ in large characters, a notice that the day for the nomination of candidates for the convention was changed from the sth to 9th of No vember, by “ unanimous consent.' 1 ’ I want Colonel Tift the editor of that sheet, to inform the citizens of Baker county, what he means by “ unanimous con sent.” It certainly can not be that the Colonel has grown so rapidly in his own conceit that he deems his own the “ unanimous consent” of Baker county. If so there is but a very poor excuse for the inser tion of that notice in his paper, but much less, if he did it from other motives. Now I say, Mr. Editor, there was no such consent and Col. T. has wronged the citizens of this county, by making such a false statement in his paper, and we want him to inform us what ho means by “ unanimous consent. 1 ’ Now, sir, as I do not wish to wrong Col. T. I will give a brief statement of the affair. You, no doubt saw, in the “ Patriot” of the 4th instant, a request for the citizens to meet at the council chamber, for the pur pose of selecting delegates to the convention. And you have sent the proceedings too, of that meeting as published in the “ I’airiot.” At that meeting the Union men appointed a day for a meeting at New ton to appoint candidates lor the convention. Now, sir, that was the work of the Union men. A few days before the aforesaid notice came out in the “Pa triot,” it was placarded about the streets that there would be a meeting at the council chamber on that for the purpose of changing the day of the meeting from the sth to 9th November. Nobody to the meeting. Well, then Col. T. pitched oh another place, to have the day changed and went round town to try to induce the Union men to change the day, but failing, he inserted the said notice in his paper. This, sir, is a true statement of the facts. Coi. T. has grossly and wilfully misrepresented the people of this county. I ask in the “ name of all the Gods at once,”’ of what material is he made ? lias he any respect for himself or paper ? If he has none for the latter, I fear it is a bad case, for certainly no one else can have, who knows any thing of it. And wlrat business had Col. T. to run around town in an affair which did not concern him ? lie has made his prevaricating sheet an engine of misrepresentation ever since it was started. And although inanimate, we can almost see the u ])Oor thing” blush, for it’s owner. Well, Col. swell out while I give other items. Some time since a card came out in the “Patriot” (by “ unanimous consent” perhaps) stating that the services of the “ Albany Academy” would be resu med on the , but it was no go —why ? no schol ars, and “ ho! for California 1” is now all the go. (I wonder if all this was done by “ unanimous con sent ?”) The Disunionists are working the “ game low down” here, but the good people, if let alone will do right, arid a large number will do that any way. I know of several men in this county who take that last of all trash — falsest of all, would he •paper, (ours alone excepted by “ unanimous con sent") the Federal Union, sometimes culled the “ Federal Ruin” who are the strongest kind of Union men. Is it possible —“Tell it not inGath, and publish notin the streets of Askelon “that man may touch het devil, and yet not be contaminated. Per haps the citizens of Macon would like to know that, by “ unanimous consent' 1 there wont be any railroad built from this place to Savannah. Farewell Col. and by “ unanimous consent” I close. Most unanimously, yours truly. ’ BAKER COUNTY. Late from Texas. Recent accounts from Texas indicate a short crop of cotton. In some parts of the State the prospect is good, but generally it promises but a small yield. The weather lias been good for picking. The Indians still continue their depredations. They had stolen two of the daughters of a German settler, one eight, and the other eighteen years old. A correspondent of the Galveston Journal, who had been travelling through several counties, writes: Avery large majority of the people in the coun ties through which I have travelled, are in favor of accepting of the Compromise ottered us by the Uni ted States Congress, in relation to our State bounda ry. I feel confident that at least two-thirds of the votes cast of Trinity will be cast in that way, The people of that section have no idea of going to war with their fellow-citizens of the North for mere ab stractions. They look upon the propositions of the United States Congress as quite liberal in their char acter. Avery heavy emigration is coming into the North eastern counties. Land is rapidly appreciating iu value. From California. The steamer Crescent City arrived at New York from Chagres, with San Francisco dates to the lltli of September. She brings three hundred and forty passengers, and over a million in gold. There was no cholera at Chagres at the time of the departure of the Crescent City. The steamer Tennessee arrived at Panama on the 4th ultimo, with a million of dollars in gold, and two hundred and fifty passengers. The U. States’ Mail left San Francisco on the 15th of September. John W. Haskell, of Boston; Edward Cuthbert of Newbern, N. Carolina ; Samuel S. Rodman, of New York, and John Houghton, of Vermont, died on hoard of the Crescent City. Mayor Bigelow, since the amputation of his arm, was improving. The Northern mines were averaging half an ounce to the diggers daily. The mines, generally, were yielding well. Henry M. Nagle had failed for a large amount, seriously affecting other Banking-houses. Flour had advanced to sixteen dollars, with large sales. Busi ness generally was good. Prices of most substan tial articles were improving. By Telegraph, For the Savannah Morning Nf.ws. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE !!! Arrival of the Steam Ship Asia. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET FIRM. New Y ork, Oct. 23, 3. 30. p. m. The Royal mail steamer Asia arrived tliis morning bring ing Liverpool dates to the 12tli inst., being seven days later than the accounts brought by the America. The Liverpool Cotton market remained firm at previous quotations,* with a fair demand. The sales of the week a mounted to 43,460 bales, of which speculators took over 11,- 000 bales and exporters 2,500 bales. Fair Cottons arc quot ed same as last week. The Havre cotton market was languid. In Glasgow cotton was quiet but steady. Flour and American produce generally remained un changed. The political news is unimportant. •The quotations brought by the America were .as follows : Mkddlhg Mobile 7 5-8, Middling Orleans 73- Id. and Fair l-2d. Ed. News. The English papers contain the details of another bloody battle between the Panes, and Holstein* rs. The latter at- tempted to take Friderichstadt, but were repulsed by the Danes after a desperate conflict, in which many on both sides were killed and wounded. The spirit of the Holstein ers was, however, unbroken, and the conflict was to be renew ed on the following day. Austrian and Russian affairs arc approaching a crisis, the two governments being on the point of an open rupture. A terrible convulsion is anticipated in the Germsn Con federacy. England and France remain quiet. Rice quoted in Liverpool at 19 to 29. <J!)C Cxcorqia Citizen. E. F. W. ANDREWS, Editor. MACON, GA., OCT. 26, 1850. To Merchants and Business Men. We are now prepared to make it the interest of the busi ness men of Macon and vicinity to select our sheet as the medium of advertising their Wares, Merchandize and Handi crafts. Our circulation in the city is not surpassed, we be lieve, by any other Journal published here, and we are ra pidly extending our intercourse with the Planters of the mid dle, Western and South-western counties of the State. Add to this the well-known fact that the “ Citizen” is sought for and read by hundreds who have not had the grace to sub scribe for it, and it will readily be seen that our facilities for introducing our customers to public notice and patronage are exceedingly good.

The Talbot county Union men meet on the first Tuesday of November for the same purpose. MaSOniC Journal. —The October number of this monthly Magazine, from Marietta, Georgia, is on our table. Its contents are varied and interesting, and its typographical execution much improved. Dr. J. B. Randall is the editor and proprietor of the work, and we have no hesitation in say ing that the Southern Fraternity of Ancient York Masons ought to render it a most liberal patronage. It deserves a generous and just support. Price §2 per annum, in advance. Judge Wellborn and Mr. Cobb. We regret to state that Judge Wellborn will not be in this city to address the people as was announced in the Jour nal and Messenger of Wednesday last. That announcement was made at the suggestion of a distinguished friend of the Union now at the North who expected to return in company with Judge Wellborn and to reach this city on Saturday. The Judge however was compelled to hasten home to Columbus, where he arrived on Wednesday morning. In answer to a tel egraphic despatch from the committee of correspondence he states that it is impossible for him to be in Macon on Satur day night as desired. We have no doubt however that lie will gratify his friends rn section at an early day. We have seen a letter from Athens dated 23d instant giv ing the pleasing intelligence that the Hon. 11. Cobb will be with us on the sth of November. Onr friends in the vicinity should recollect the time and do honor to tliis worthy Re presentative by a lull attendance at the meeting of tlmt day. Grand Division S. T.— On Wednesday last the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance, for the State of Georgia, convened in annual session in the New Masonic llall of this city. On Thursday tho Annual Address was delivered before the body and a respectable audience at tlie Presbyte rian Church by Henry M. Law, Esq. of Savannah. This young gentleman acquitted himself with great credit. Ilis address was an eloquent tribute to the labors of the order in arresting the liquid tide of burning waters and promoting pu rity and temperance among men. On the same evening, at Concert Hall, a splendid colla tion was served up, in honor of the stranger guests—among whom we noticed, in procession, Rev. T. B. Slade, of Co lumbus, and B. Hill, Esq. of Talbotton, both distinguished Apostles of the Temperance cause. The following is a list of the Grand Officers elected for the ensuing year:— P. A. Lawson, Cl. IV. P. ; E. C. Cabaniss, G. IV. A.; W. S. Williford, G. S.; E. C. Granniss, G. S.; T. B. Slade, G. C. Isaac B. Huff, G. C.; A. M. Laub, G. S. Awful Anticipations. The tune of the Fire-eaters is sensibly changing. We do not hear so much, now, as formerly, of the grievances actu ally inflicted by the North upon the South, but great stress is laid upon what is in prospective. An awful time is com ing bye and bye, say these imaginative gentlemen. In a few years more , the South will certainly be tied hand and foot and given over to the tender mercies of the Abolition ists ! Death is not more certain to mortal man than that the progressive steps of abolition will subvert all our rights, and leave us without remedy, unless we now come up to the bloody line of resistance , witli “coffins on our backs” and graves dug not far behind! Well, perhaps, this may be the case. But we have heard such a “wolf 11 cry so often before, that we do not believe it. We have confidence that all gusts of violence will finally subside as has been the case hereto fore. At all events, we do not mean to “cross that bridge before we get to it.” We shall not anticipate evils which may never happen, and which there is no valid reason to suppose, will happen, in our generation. These gloomy sight-seeers and croakers remind us of the young female ‘help’ who was once found wringing her hands in great grief, and shedding copious tears, in front of a large family bake-oven, common at the North, which oven was cracking and blazing with a hot fire made of ash wood. The poor girl was asked by her pauic stricken mistress, “what could be the matter.” “Oh” (says she) I was thinking that if I should ever get married—ah—and if I should have a baby—ah, and if it should crawl about and fall into such a fire as this, —ah—and if it should get burnt up—ah—what would I do—ali—booli-lioo— boo-hoo.” Just so it is with tlie sons of Jeremiah who predict evil and call upon the South to resist it before it happens, and groan over it before it arrives, and when the chances for its coming are no better than the burning of the girls prospect ive baby in a family bake- oven ! Fire Eaters in Savannah - -At a late meeting of tlie Union party, in Savannah, the disorganizers intruded themselves, and attempted to break up theassembly and frus trate its objects. In this, however, they failed, and a very strong Union ticket has been putin nomination to represent Chatham county, in the Convention.

IHS’ . ©S ®IIII ®I T I 111 s “How Horrible the Tyranny The “ Christian Freeman” of Boston copies from the No tasulga Alabama Herald, an article touching the late mob ex citement in this city, and makes it the occasion for as canting and contemptible a phillipic against the “tyranny” of slavery as we ever remember to have seen. The following is a sam ple of this pretended “ Freeman’s” slang on this subject: “ How terrible is the bondage of tlie white as well as col ored population, in the regions where slavery exists. An in stitution exists among them, which is against their own in nate sense of natural right; and its operations every day pre sent scenes which move their sympathies, and pain their hearts. But, as they value their lives, they must not utter a censure, a query, a sigh, nor an ejaculation. They are under the most arbitrary “reign of terror.” They must be kept perpetually gagged, and there is no relief. Their sobs of grief must be hushed, and their groans of anguish sup pressed, in the sight of human wretchedness and wrong, or they shairbe sacrificed to the fury of the mob. And why ? Because a sigh, a groan, for the wrongs and cruelties of sla very, is a concomitant of abolitionism. It endangers the pa triarchal institution, and it must not be tolerated. Every be trayal of man's sympathy for suffering man seems to be a beam of light exposing the blackness of the iniquity, and all light must he excluded.” In answer to the above, we have to remark, that the “bon dage,” of which he speaks, has no other foundation than in the Editor’s own perverted and distempered imagination. There is nothing in the institution of the South which is either against tho “ innate sense of right” on which is calcu lated to “ move the sympathies or pain the hearts,” of any truly philanthropic man. To our knowledge there are more actual scenes of misery and wretchedness, in one twelve month among northern laborers, operatives in factories— among the free blacks and while apprentices of Yankcedom, say nothing of the very poor who are sold out to the lowest bidder, annually, to test the principle how little food can sus-j tain the human system, than can be found between the shorty of the Potomac and tlie Rio Grande ! The most appalling distress and destitution are there witnessed, from day to-day, under the eyes and noses of these hypocritical abolitionists, who “care for none of these things,” and who have no sym pathy to expend, except for imaginary distress at a great dis tance off. We can inform this “ Christian Freeman,” Editor, nfso, that lie mistakes entirely, tlie true cause of mob violence against us. That was the work of a few ultra politicians of this place, who are trying, like the Editor aforesaid, to split this Union into fragments, by unlawful resistance to the con stituted authorities of the Government and its enactments 1 They are “hale fellows well met” with such men as Garri son, Sylvanus Cobb and others, in their nefarious attempts to dissolve this confederacy ! Our sympathy for, or want of sympathy with slavery, Had nothing to do with tho “ excite ment,’’ only as a pretext or excuse for the outrage. Hence, there was no occasion for this “Servant of Jesus,” as we are snecringly called, telling the people that they “ had an in stitution so utterly corrupt, that it would not bear a single look of scrutiny.” Had we told the Southern people that, we should have falsified the facts in the case and deserved a liar's fate. We should then have plead a falsehood in j ustifiea tion of our previous course in defence of Southern Rights and Southern Institutions that would have merited nothing but scorn and contempt. The plea, therefore, which the Christian Freeman puts into our mouth, by way of apology for not hearkening to the “crisis of distress which have come up (to us} from the sun dering of nature’s ties, from violated chastity, from flayed flesh and broken bones, from unrequited toil” <fcc. Are. is as “ base less as the fabric of a vision.” We have heard no such cries nor witnessed any such scenes, and of course, no sueli plea is applicable to us. But what plea will excuse this professedly “ Christian Freeman” in tlie course he lias marked out or himself, in his work of mischief, anarchy and robbery. We suppose that something like the following will be the “higher law” of duty which governs this immaculate Editor. To us of the South, he says: “ Kind sirs! Gentle sirs ! Do not blame me for denoun cing an institution which my fore-fatliers introduced into America, and on the spoils of which they fattened, for years, and finally sold out j ust in time to save the deposits as a precious inheritance of blood for their children ! Do not think hard of me for requiring tlie Southern people to give up one thousand million of their property and emancipate a race that the northern people were the chief means of forcingiii\,q servitude. True, my common sense tenches me that the Southern slave has now the privileges of the Gospel, of which his race is deprived, in heathen Africa, and that thousands of them have become hopeful members of the Christian Church who else would have perished in their iguorance and sin. But all this is nothing, compared with the personal enrichment of my own dear self and family by catering to the morbid ap petite of .abolitionists and fanatics! I know, that as a “Servant of Jesus” whom 1 profess to serve, 1 am acting a little differ ently from what he did, while on eartli—when he commanded to “ render tribute to whom tribute was due,” and not to steal my neighbor's property nor covet his maid servant. Yet, times have materially changed since the age of Christ, and ice have improved considerably on the Nazarene’s code of ethics! I know also, that Paul the great Apostle, gave up the “ fugi tive slave” Onesimus to his master Philemon, and exhorted his disciples to “ submit themselves to the powers that be” for “ tlie powers that lie were ordained of God,” and much more of tlie same sort of instruction—nevertheless in this middle of the 19th century, when Philosophy and Science have illumed the world, Ido not consider it right to obey such nonsense, as that is now considered to be, by professing Chris tians throughout Yankeedom ! Still further, I do not believe that Congress has the right to pass a law to compel me to assist in enforcing the constitu tional principles of the Union, or, in any way, aiding in pre serving the Government. I have a zeal which burns within me, in behalf of tlie thick-lipped and sooty African—not to make him the life-companion of my beautiful fair complex ioned daughter and the daily anil nightly associate of my own “bed and board”—but to elevate him to nominal freedom, though his real condition would not thereby be improved. This, I do, knowing tlvat my efforts will tend to light the torch of civil war in the South, and array the black against the white race. Being governed by that “ higher law” of which the New York Senator lias spoken, I care not for the conse quences. To the cries of distress and wailing which will then come from the throats of the white victims of the negro’s lust and sensual brutality—to the screams of virgin innocence in the hands of the black despoiler—to the plaintive hopeless cries of massaereed “ babes and sucklings,’’ I will not listen, nor suffer my heart to the moved thereat. Tho day of ven geance is come, and the righteous men of the North, such as I am, will rejoice with Christian love and meekness, at the doom of the slaveocrats and all connected with them ! “ Amen, so let it be.” There, Brother Sylvanus Cobb, how can you reconcile suclt a truthful plea as that, with the morality of the gospel of peace and lave which you profess to teach mankind ! Verily, you shall have your reward—the contempt of wise men and the adulation of fools! Decidedly Personal —Our neighbors of Cherry and 3d streets, and their correspondents are becoming exceeding ly personal in their remarks concerning each other! See the chivalrie “Card,” of J. J. J. in the Telegraph, and the reply of S. T. C. in the Messenger, of this week. The epithets of liar, coward, puppy, poltroon, spaniel, fish-woman, Are. are liberally sprinkled throughout these dignified Journals’ W e “ give it up ” as a species of classics of which we are profoundly ignorant. “ Prohpudor !!” Say, “ Liph,” hur ry up that egg-nog or the excitement will soon be above fever heat. Our Bridge street neighbor, too, met with a personal ad venture, Saturday evening, which astonished him considera bly. In justice to him, however, we will say that he could not be made a “ submissionist.” He did not turn the left cheek when the right was smitten—but carried out the Jewish principle of blow for blow, right manfully-—specially after he discovered that his antagonist's right arm was held fast in the clutches of tlie law.

The Groans of the Abolitionists. To show how the Southern Ultras and Northern Aboli tionists sympathize with each other, in their schemes of dis solution, we might till our sheet weekly, with extracts from the extreme factionist Journals, of the day, on the Fugitive Slave Bill and kindred subjects. The New Era, the Organ of the Northern wing of the eztremists, thus speaks : The concession to Texas of ninety thousand square miles, which she never possessed, and the payment of ten millions of dollars for, territory to which she never had a title—the organization of Territorial Governments without any restriction as to slavery—the passage of a fugacious bill, as Mr. Benton calls it, converting the free States into hunting grounds for the slave catcher! The Cleaveland (Ohio) True Democrat, in speaking of them says: The Day against Us !—We feel gloomily, and we can only speak as we feel. The South lias triumphed at Washington! We do not, mainly look at the power lost or won ; at the money given or gained; these are not unimportant, and must have weight; but there are higher considera tions ; the lo'S of character to the North and the loss to freedom ; and at them we do look—look with avari cious gaze and saddest forebodings. And these are sacrificed in the triumph of the South.” Other Editors speak of resistance being generally planned, at the North, against the Laws and Constitution of the land. Meetings are being held, every where, to denounce, with special wrath, the fugitive slave law, as being an infringment of the right of trial by jury—a suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, Ac. Ac. which must be resisted by force of arms. Even preachers of the Gospel and Editors of religi ous Journals denounce the law as unconstitutional and un worthy of respect. One of the latter gravely informs his Southern readers that there is a terrible excitement on the subject at the North, and that bloodshed will be the conse quence of the odious law ! In all this, they look upon the slaves as free citizens and thereby entitled to the protection of the Constitution, while the owner is alien to it and left to get redress for his stolen properly the best way he can ! What folly and inconsistency ! For our part we are glad that the matter is brought home to these northern meddlers, and that, if there is any con science left them, they may be made to feel in imagination , some of the grievances which they have long sought to in flict, in reality, upon the South. Let them resist the govern ment, if they dare, and see whether they have any more power than Southern secessionists and Southern resistants have to dissolve this glorious Confederacy! We want the fight to begin there, before the Southern Ultras commence the work of devastation. The latter had better wait a while to sec whether President Fillmore can put down rebellion among the Abolitionists. If he can and does—then per haps, the Southern resistants will take counsel from the max im—that “ prudence is the better part of valor ” and submit in time. But if the President is powerless to suppress in surrection, North, why then the hotspurs, South, can go ahead, safely, in the formation of the Southern confederacy. Let them therefore bide their time. Hon. W. H. Stiles —The following resolution was presented by the Hon. W. 11. Stiles to the late Union Meet ing of Cass county and adopted : Resolved , That we declare as the decided sense of this meeting that neither disunion, secession or other revolution ary measure, is the remedy adapted to the present exigency, that tame submission to abolition encroachments, we utterly repudiate, and that it is our duty by all the constitutional means in our power, to oppose the aggressions of the North and to maintain the rights and interests of the South. Judge Sh.arkey for the Union.—The Natchez Courier says that at a great Union meeting in Yicksburgh, Miss. Judge Sharkey spoke as follows : “ Tie had suspected some persons in the South of disunion movements. Recent transactions had satisfied him that those persons desired a dissolution of the Union , per se, and that the pretext of Southern rights teas made in order to cloak that design. He teas afraid of such South ern men , as he was of Northern men , and perhaps n little more. so. The people were now called upon to take one side or the other. Between them must the choice now be made. iTiion or disunion stares us all in the face, and it was time for each man to select his position. t‘ The question of Disunion or Union was attempted to be to depend upon the admission of California. That was a mere question of expediency, and no man, or set of men, could justify themselves in crying Disunion on such slight grounds! lie for one was willing to submit to the action of Congress in this matter, and therefore he did not fear the re proach of being called a submissionist. lie trusted that it would be a long time ere a world was called upon to groan the funeral dirge of this Republic. He then explained the misery consequent upon disunion, and expressed the belief that civil war would inevitably result from it. lie conclud ed with an eloquent appeal for the preservation of the Union.” lie was frequently interrupted with loud cheers. ATTENTION. Z£T KEEP IT BEFORE TIIE PEOPLE, that those who lately avowed themselves in favor of Secession or Dis solution, are now trying to evade that issue, and profess to be Union men, of the most unflinching character ! Oh, hy pocrisy, thy name is Fire-Eater ! C3T KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, that the Ultras of the South and the fanatics of the North are both working, with might and main, to accomplish the same thing —the dissolution of the confederacy—both being dissatisfied with the recent adjustment of the slavery question by Con gress. ;£ST KEEP IT BEFORE TIIE PEOPLE, that the only question now before the people of Georgia is UNION and DISUNION, and that every citizen who docs not vote the Union ticket in bis district, is aiding and abetting in the un hallowed work of disunion, civil war and anarchy. jX-ir KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, of Georgia, that should secession take place, North Carolina and Tennes see will become to Georgia wliat Canada is now to N. York ns foreign nations, into which slaves from the Southern confederacy can easily escape, without any constitutional guarantee or Fugitive Slave law being provided for their re covery ! C3T KEEP IT BEFORE TIIE PEOPLE, that such a Secession of Georgia from the Union will sooner destroy the institution of Slavery , than any thing else. “ Who so readeth, let him understand.” Union Candidates for the State Convention.

The Day Book is doing the South an essential service bv publishing the names of those wholesale Merchants in New York, whose traffic is chiefly with tho South, but who use the gains thus acquired in advancing abolition doctrines in that city. The following firms are thus noticed : Messrs. BOWEN AM’NAMEE, Wholesale Jobbers. “ CHITTENDEN A BLISS, “ “ “ PERKINS A WARREN, “ “ “ HOPKINS A ALLEN, “ “ “ SIMEON DRAPER JR., “ “ “ HUNT A DANIEL. “ “ The Day Book says that the first named “have become wealthy by trading with Southern merchants, employ the lar gest number of clerks, and boast of doing the largest jobbing business done in the city ; who have built one of the most magnifieout stores, two splendid country scats—all from the profits of slave labor—arc both thorough going abolitionists— support abolition ministers, and have established an abolition newspaper.’’ Let Southern merchants mark these men and avoid them as they would the pestilence. The Southern people should not be taxed to support their worst enemies in concocting mischief and desolation. Pronunciameuto from Gor. Towns. In answer to some kind friends from Murray county who felt “much anxiety” to know the Governor's views on the subject of slavery, his Excellency has inflicted upon the rea ders of the “Federal Ruin,” six long columns of ponderous matter, touching the various political topics of the day. We have neither time, space, nor inclination to give even a syn opsis of this State paper. It is a singnlar production, embra cing a little of every thing and not much of any thing. It recounts the stale and oft told tale of Northern aggression on Southern rights—the feeling of the Northern people against the institution and their determination to destroy the same— denounces Gen. Cass for his non-intervention doctrines— (the same which the Democrats of Georgia, the Governor not excepted, so strongly advocated two or three years ago) abuses Mr. Clay and Congress for admitting California with the Wilmot proviso in Iter constitution—and winds up his leaden communication with a quotation from his own letter to Col Joseph Day, in ISI9, in which he recommends the people to use all honorable means to redress their wrongs and resolve to die in the maintenance of their tights—which sen timent he now reiterates, but urges moderation and a calm and impartial examination of the subject and repudiates the idea of making “party capital” out of the unhappy divis ions that now prevail in the State! The Governor also, ex presses great love for “the Union as it teas and the Constitu tion as it is" —and very gravely says that “Union is not a senseless word for party hacks or heartless politicians to sport with.” His Excellency thus very facetiously, but riot the less severely, castigates his own political friends, for the course they have pursued on the great questions of the day, and we trust the lesson he has thus read to tiie Federal Ruin, and other “party hacks” and “heartless politicians” will have its due influence upon such a profligate set. Upon the whole we look upon this Pronunciamentoof our Chief Magistrate as an artful attempt to throw Just into the eyes of the honest people, so that they may not see the true is sue now before them, to be UNION or DISUNION and ‘ nothing else.’ If his Excellency is to be believed, there are no greater friends to the Union than he and his friends are, notwithstanding the late bold and daring avowals of the lead ing presses and men of Ins school for secession and dissolu tion. Well, perhaps they are, but we warn the people a gainst allowing any of them to exhibit their peculiar love for the Union in the approaching Convention. We have no faith in their professions nor their motives. A “Rowland for an Oliver.” The Grand Ju ry of Cobb county Ga., having lately presented the law of Congress admitting California as a “palpable infringement of Southern Rights’’ which should be “promptly met by the South with determined resistance,” bis Honor, Judge Hill, took occasion to respond to the presentment in the subjoined able and enlightened address to the Jury. On perusal of said document, which does credit to the head ami heart of Judge Hill, we could not help regretting the part we honestly took in defeating this gentleman in the last canvass for Gov ernor in this State. Had Edward A'. liill been now at the head of the State Government, all the dangers and excite ment of the pi esent contest would have been spared to the people of Georgia. Disunion schemes would then have found no countenance in Executive councils. If /God will forgive tis for the sin we then ignorantly committed, in supporting Judge Ilill’s opponent, we vow not again to be caught in any such fatal error. But to the charge : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : So far as your presentment upon the pr/esent state of politi cal relations between the Northern and Southern sections of our beloved country are concerned, the Court is constrained to say, that it is neither a judicial nor moral subject challeng ing the investigation of a Grand J ury, as such. Stiil it is con ceded that any assemblage of intelligent and respectable gen tlemen have the right, in a country likefours, to express their political views upon agitating questions,'of the times, and to impart to those views (it they can) tiny power and influence of associated wisdom and united impression. Perhaps then, you may, in this form, as well as in any other, bring your o pinions to bear u[ton your fellow citizens of the South. Gen tlemen/ tile Court does you no injustice, in styling you and itself co-ordinate branches of the .JWieiary, assembled for the sacred purpose of redressing tiie grievances and foster ing t. , <?*ti Vis of o'fr beloved State. An expression of opin ions on your part necessarily requires from me a response. And while I had no inclination to wander from our more le gitimate sphere, in pursuit of controversy, you will excuse me for deeming your strong expression of your own opinions upon the subjects of our National Union, as a direct call upon your presiding officer cither to concur or dissent. Gen tlemen, it is my misfortune upon this all absorbing and deep ly interesting topic to disagree to to ccelo with a majority of your respectable body. In the exercise of his sober discretion every man must admit that with all ils imperfections and causes of complaint ours is the purest the wisest and the happiest system of government upon the face of the globe, rhat its origin, progress and present condition, present for the contemplation o! the patriot and philanthropist, a history of moral and political sublimity never before dreamed of in the happiest visions of governmental experiment. And if those who arc now assailing this beautiful fabric with parri cidal hands, shall be permitted to succeed in its destruction, the hopes of the republican world will be buried in its ruins, j The thorn of despotism will spring up and flourish where now 1 blooms the Rose of freedom, and the wailing of oppression ; will stun the ears of our now happy and prosperous millions. Did you ever reflect, gentlemen, that a Washington and his j compatriots under all the favorable influences of the limes, ! and guided by the wisdom of Providence liimsclf, were sev- j en long years in concocting and establishing a Union of on j ly thirteen States ? Concession and Compromise were ! made tho pillars of the building; it beautifully rose to com pletion under tiie hands of its god-like architects to bless the j eyes of patriotism and fill the world with hope. Jf you would that the structure should stand, these pillars must not be re moved. Is it not strange, that with ail our practical, experi mental knowledge of the imperfections of human institutions, we should make our government an exception and blindly ex pect its operations to move with the harmony which char acterizes only the works of Deity ? And more wonder ful still, that we should cherish this delusion at the hazard of the loss and utter destruction of what the world m-ver saw before and will never witness again ? The Uuion of twenty millions of freemen, the inhabitants of the same and yet of different Republics. Sisters in amity and yet independent. Bound to protect each other, as well as to defend themselves against the common selfishness of human nature, I repeat gentlemen, that there is not its model in the history of our race; and the breaking up of our Union will present nothing but a melancholy wreck of thehopesand predictions, of those who had vainly cherished the chimera, that man was capable of self-government. And for this sacrifice of so many privileges, of such unparalleled National distinction, the political priests, who are endeavoring to lead you to the altar, and suffocate you witli the smoke of your own foolish and treasonable offering, promise you (as thou alt they were Gods) their unqualified blessing. What bit? Look at it, contemplate it, and for yourselves determine. Chaos, confu sion, a gloomy pile of the smouldering ruins, of what was once the master piece of man’s efforts to control his terrene happiness. The farewell address of the father of his country, of him, who was, “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,” must never be allowed to fade from your memories. “ United , we stand ; divided wo fall.” ———— Curious Fashion - -Some of the fashionable gentry about town, are now wearing coats of a peculiar cut and ap pearance. ‘I he pockets of some arc placed outside, ana are made to hang very heavy, aa if a ten pound Revolving Iron with holes in the end, was in each skirt Others are made to give the lean-breasted gentleman the appearance of remarkable plurnptitudc of chest and great muscular develope nient of the pericardial region!
