TEMPERAHCE address.
njiicrrf. *v Sfweiat Request, before the
Member* of the Temperance Society in
the Baptist Church mi Philips Bridge,
in IW6.
BV THE LATE T. 11. CHITKMS, M. D.
Lapik* and Gkstluiik:—Having been
requested by the members of this Society,
through the Minister of this Church, to ad
dress you on the subject of Tenijtenmce, I
cannot do better, in vindicating the honor
which you have conferred upon uie, than to
proceed by dividing inv subject into three
distinct heads—namely. Inordinate eating;
Prinking; Chewing and Smoking of Tobacco.
Induing this, I shall first quote the follow
ing Golden Truths which I once heard fall
from the eloquent lips of my Preceptor in
Transylvania University, Professor Charles
Caldwell. I shall do this with the more
pride, inasmuch as they are the living words
of a man, who not only stands on the high
est round of the ladder of greatness, over
looking from his empyreal altitude, all the
low valley lands of Mental Science, w here
on it was his wont to wrestle nightly with
the Angels of Ministration in hi? youth —
rising up from his labor with the strength
of an immortal: but in the plenitude of his
wisdom, transcends all his contemporary
Professors as far as Plato did the whole
Olympiad of Grecian philosophers. The
truth is, he not only incarnates that beauti
ful and immortal command of St. Paul, “Be
Temperate in all things, hut consummates,
in his active wi-dom among men, all that
was ever dreamed of by the 1 iolet Queen in
the Periclean Age of Grecian glory.
First, then, of Intemperance in Eating. — ,
This is a hackneyed subject—none in the
world more so. But. of all in the world, it
l- the least understood. This will appear
more obvious to you all after it is proven
that it is a subject which admits of a much
more extensive signification than has ever
been attached to it. The fact is, it include*
every inordinate indulgence of the animal
appetite*—not only eating, drinking, tobac
co-chewing and smoking, hut lying and
slandering. A man who slanders his neigh
bor because he is envious of his talents, is a
drunkard in his soul. He subverts the di
vine order which God lias established in na
ture, by elevating the animal propensities
over the intellectual faculties—thereby de
grading himself below the groveling little
ness of the soulle?? brutes that ;eri?h. in
temperance in eating is the most universal
practice among the American people—the
universality, in many instances, preventing
the recognition of it—although there can
be nothing more degrading to the human
soul. It has been estimated, by Professor
Caldwell, that one American will eat as
much as two Swiss, or two Highlanders, who
are the mo?t hardy people in the world. It
is stated by him to be not only the most pro
lific source of all our bodily infirmities, but
the most serious impediment to our mental
efficiencies. “Ererv art winch wc intention
ally perform, which dermpites, m the least,
from our capacity to do yowl, is a violation of
our duties to Society. Let this le remem
bered.
The universality of gormandizing is not
only occa-ional, hut habitual —being infin
itely more common than drinking —the bane
alike of infancy, youth, inahood, maturity
and old age. Man is the only animal in the
world, who eats when he is not hungry—
everv other one doing so merely to satiate
his apatite—he, for the caprices of fashion,
to oblige his friend.
Mow, every mouthful that a man eats
which is not necessary for subsistence, may
be charged to the account of Intemperance.
To convert the superfluous amount into
chyle is not only toilsome, but totally debil
itating to the digestive organs. This super
abundance of superfluous matter, not only
cxbau-ts the vital properties of the stomach
itself, but causes a general repletion of the
whole system. This practice is carried to a
fearful extent at parties, where not only
tempting fruits are eaten, but sparkliug
wines are drunk in abundance. In fact,
the whole magazine of Cookery is there
thrown open for the destruction of the syrn
po?ia?t? by wholesale. The multifarimisnes*
of the indigestible matter which then falls i
upon the appetite, would not only enfeeble
the digestive organ? of an ostrich, but debil
itate the ravenous stomach of a hog.
It may jierhaps be amu?ing, if not edify
ing to you, to give a catalogue of the dis
eases to which those people become subject
after their return home. One is attacked
by distressing nausea : another by erarnp
eolic : a third by violent tumble he ; a fourth
by diarrh'ea ; a fifth by cholera ; and a sixth
while falling into a disturlx-d sleep, is al
most snvAhered to death by the nightmare.
Excessive eating is more bestial, it possi
ble, than drinking. It is more animal,
therefore farthe r beneath the dignity of a
man. It cannot boast of that romantic ex
citement, sportive hilarity, self complacency
and visionary bli?s which attends incipient
intoxication. It is more grovelling, there
fore less etherial—not mercurial, but essen
tially Saturnine.
He who pander? for the gratification of
his animal propensities, incapacitates lp* in
tellectual faulties for the performance of
their highest functions. He who acts like
an animal, forgets that he is a man.
Some of the diseases to which man is in
cident from excessive eating, are the follow
ing : Dy?j>ej?ia, Hypochondriasis, Gout,
Rheumatism, Dropsy, Jaundice, Colic, Chol
era, Epilepsy, Idiocy, and manifold Lazar
like eruptions of the skin.
The tame may be said of the use of To
bacco, in any of its forms. Nothing can be
more disgusting to a well-bied man. than
either smoking or chewing. No man can be
considered temperate who make? use of it
by either smoking, chewing or snuffing. It
is not only a useless exjtense, hut wholly
deleterious to the health—being one of the
most deadly narcotics. When swallowed, 1
it produces, instantly, the most violent vom
iting, alarmiug prostration, trembling of
the whole body, cold sweats and death. —
When taken into the mouth, it excites an
artificial secretion <>f the salivary glands,
indispensably necessary to facilitate diges
tion—w hich is discharged in a most offen
sive and disgusting manner, mingled with
the juice of the Tobacco. There are but
three beings in the whole world that ever
were known to make ue of it —these are
wau, a goat, and a worm. Strauge that
man, who has an immortal soul in his body, ,
should be found mixing with such internal
comjtany thereby constituting him not
only the “jest, but the riddle of the world.”
It not only renders his breath intolerablv
offensive, but tinges his teeth of an unsight
ly yellow, like a certain mountain vegetable
of the East does the teeth of the goat, w hich
led the people, at one time, to believe that it
was caused by the gold in the soil—there be
ing this very remarkable difference between
the two, that, wherever you see the offensive
die of the tobacco-juice on a man's teeth,
you may set it down as an unerring indica
tion of the absence of gold. He who puts
tobacco in hi* mouth, takes gold out of bis
pocket. Wkfif is the young lady, of the
least refinement, who would allow a tobacco
chewer to approach her ? There i* not one
in thf world .’ She would live single all the
days of her life first. This is the reason
why a young lady always holds her head
down, while applying a handkerchief to her
nose, when a young Tobacco-worm ap
proaches her to whisper soft ofensirenes* in
her ear. Poor fool! ht takes it for bash- ,
fulness— timidity —when it is nothing mure
in the world than a gra<*eful manifestation
; of that instinct which God has implanted
in her nature for self-preservation — to pre
vent him from suffocating her to death
Those who arrogate to themselves a little
more decency, chew various spices to dis
guise their breath—thereby making use of
an artificial breath, a? an artifice to gain her
del tded affections.
The same may be ?aid of smoking. It
excite* the salivary glands precisely as chew- |
ing does. It is the off?iring of mental inan
ity—the empty head’s employment.
Now what shall I say more, to array you
against the use of this abominable weed ? 1
Need I say any more than to assure you,
most positively, that the \ hole animal king
dom. from the smallest to the greatest, to
tally abhor it—are wholly disgusted irith it.’
N>t only the most elegant of the insect cre
ation despise it, but no bird, of gaudy plum
age or distinguished for sweetness of song, ’
was ever known to dwell in its vicinity. !
The nightingale, that makes glad the sombre
bosom of the desolate graves, by pouring
out his ravishing song all night long, to his
beloved rose, absolutely refuses his descent,
if happening to be in tolerable proximity to
the tobacco-plant. The vulture, that makes
hi- daily meal on carrion, is reluctant to
de?ecrate the decaying rareass in sight of it.
Even the bog, which is the personification
of all filthiness, turns awav from it with ab
solute loathing. Every thing shuns it but
man, who, with the apjetite of the vulture
and the hog combined—incarnating both in
his superlative beastliness—hugs it. with the
love that the madman ha? for his chimera,
to his bosom and dies.’
To Polite Society, a tobacco-chewer is as
much an unclean animal as a hog is to a
Turk. How can it he otherwise, w hen the
taint of the offensive w<?ed clings to him like
the sin of murder to the soul of Cain, which
can never be washed away. All the combin
ed perftune? of Arahy the Blest could not .
wash hi? body clean. Then how can he
who infects the air around with the baleful j
influence of his noxious breath, exj>eet to j
press, while inhaling the rosy innocence of j
love, (“Nature’s balmiest offering,”) the
luscious Hjks of Beauty? Iu vain may lie
expect it. Any lady of refinement would
prefer celibacy to a tobacco-monger. No i
gentleman of refinement will make himself
offeuslve to others. <>ae half of the earthly
existence of a tobacco-monger is spent in !
selecting that which will make his whole
body offensive: the re?t of his life in trving
to wash himself clean again. Real existence
is wholly unknown to him—experiencing j
no enjoyment above that of a tobacco-worm, °
and like it, crawling from the cradle to the ;
grave.
The man who uses tobacco, is not fit for
any thing else. A few of the fatal diseases
to w hich men are incident from using it. are
the following: Dyspepsia. Pulmonary Con
sumption, Marasmus, Tremors, Impaired
Vision and Intellect, Apoplexy. Palsy, and
many others, too tedious to mention here.
It is indecent violation not only of decorum
but of good breeding, for any tobacco-mon
ger to contaminate the pure air of Heaven
with 1 i pestiferous sugar. The dewy tears
of delight which he shed?, from the inhala
tion of the burning incense of the olifiaut
weed, while hi? bloated countenance is made
radiant with the narcotic enjoyment—are
only the fore-runners of the tears of sorrow
which he is to shed some day, for the loss of
his health; for soon, very soon, will he b*
transformed into the disgusting impersona
tion of the soul-polluting idol which he so
much venerates! It will eventually be the
terrible Juggernaut of his utter immolation
—for he who supposes that his nose was
made for a chimney, is sadly deficient in the
science of nose-ology.
The most disgusting sight of self-abase
ment that the sotil of man was ever called
upon to contemplate, i- that of the half-bent,
attenuated, jacket-wasped body of an empty
headed dandy changed into a tobaeeo-piekle.
It is man’s intellect which elevates him
above the brute creation. He who degrades
himself below man, by any intemperate hab
it. is lets than a brute. He not only sub
verts the laws of his human nature, but de
nies thnt God ever gave him any. What
could la- more di?gusting to any well-bred
man than the odious externals of intemper
ance—such a? the reeling gait, the maudlin
eye, the idiotic stare, the drivelling lip, the
raucul breath, the amrulsicchiccough, attend
ed profanities, and aeconpamcd by the dis
charge of the most offensice matter jrom the
stomach ?
But this is not all, nor is it the worst of
all; the intemperate man. like the coward,
“dies many times before his death.” This
he experiences not only in the palsy of his
body, but in the total extinguishment of all
hi? intellect: that never-ceasing, racking
bone-ache, which was the bitterest curse
that the infuriated Timou could have thrown
back upon the decaying Athenians. That
which exhausts the vital properties, must
produce disease. This must be the case, be
cause the protective power? of the system
are its bulwarks aguin?t disease. Destroy
this, and vou at once attack the seat of life
—the consummation of which is delirium
tremens, or mania a potu.
Organic derangement will soon produce
constitutional alienation. Drunkenness is,
therefore, hereditary. The acquired idio
syncracies of the parent, will liccome the
inheritance of his children. If the parents
be sound, the children will la* sp. A dis
eased acorn will not produce a sound oak.
He who is intemperate, not only degrades
himself, hut destroys his offspring. Thi*
should he an interminable harrier against
the practice of it. He who sow? the good
seeds of temperance, will reap a rich harvest
of golden good in the future. Children born
of intemperate parent?, are as tameless as
tiger., and as ferocious a? catamount*.
The Persians, Spartans and Lacedemo
nians, all taught their children temperance.
Children are all born either for good or evil
—thi- good or evil depending entirely on
the manner of their education by their pa
rents. The* Circeun beverage of hell is to
the hody precisely like the ancient voice of
syren to the sailors on the sea— luring the
unwary wanderer to certain death. Idleness
L? the parent of inteinjieranee—industry its
death. The industrious man, is, therefore,
a friend to morality and virtue.
Now, what I desire to say here is, that, as
women arc the arbiters of society, they can
wield an almost supernatural power in re
forming men; as from their decisions there
can be no appeal. This should be borne iu
mind by every female who wishes the wel
fare of the human race. Then let the ladies
become the reformers-. It was by living
temperate that Socrates was saved from
death during the great plague which raged
in Athens. During the Asiatic cholera
hich raged iu this country, all those who
were addicted to intemperance died, while
those who were temperate invariably recov- !
ered. 1 >ut of persons admitted into the
Park Hospital. New York, only *ix were
temperate. All the temperate persons re
covered—the intem|>erateone* died. Out of
tM member* of the Tem(eranee Society in
Montreal, only one person died.
The reason of this is obvious. In intem
perance, the life-sustaining powers of the
body are debilitated ; disease is the result,
afterwards death ! #
Now let us contemplate, for a few mo
ment*. the advantages which have accrued
from the ue of cold water alone, to the
beautifying and invigorating of the bo-lie?
of the most notable people in the Oriental
world. Water is the only fluid that the
Deity ever intended man to use. Seneca
say*, that “where a spring rises or a river
flows, there should we build altar?, and of
fer sacrifices.” Tacitus and Philostratus
tell us that the Indus and the Nile were both
worshipped by their respective inhabitant*,
as a free-will offering to them for their fer
tilizing qualities. The Abyssinians call the
Nile a giant. It has been so much respected
by all ages, that Vespasian placed an imper
sonation of it in the Temple of Peace, with
sixteen children playing around it. Quin
ting Curtius tells us that Alexander poured
libations from golden goblet? into the Hy
da?)**s and the Scinde, from the prow of his
ship, while he invoked them as deities, pre
vious to sailing down them. We all know
how the Jews venerated the brook of Siloa,
which Milton tells us “ flow ed fast bv the
Oracles of God.” Maximus Tyrius tells us
that the “ Pencus w as adored for its l>eauty:
the Danube for its magnitude: and the
Achelaus for its solemn traditions.” The
Phrygian* worshipped the Myrsias and Me
ander ; the Trojans, the Scamander: the
Druids, the Dee; the Massagetae paid divine
honors to the Paulus Mtestisand theTanais:
and water is still worshipped by the natives
of Multanistan. Polybius tells us that the
I Persians considered it such a sacrilege to
pollute water, that they enacted a law that
“ whoever conveyed the water of a spring
to any spot that had not been watered be
fore, should be compelled to use it even to
the end of the fifth generation.” At the
foot of Mount St. Julian, near Pisa, in Italy,
there is a spring of such peculiar quality,
that the water was sold in Florence at a
higher rate than wine. The Grand Duke
manifested his good taste by drinking no
other beverage. The Clitumnus was so
grateful to the palate, that we are told by
Yossius, the poets fabled that it had the
power of making the bulls, which pastured
on its borders, white. ** The Gen too? believe
that the Ganges will remain to all eternity :
but that the earth will be destroyed by the
Supreme Power, w ho, in the day? of perfect
felicity, will recline upon the leaf of the
pisang, rapt in ecstatic meditation, with two
betal plants, floating on its bosom.” “Mem
nun offered his hair to the Nile; the ancient
Egyptians cut off theirs, and threw it into
the Lake, near Argyriuin, as an offering to
Hercules : and Peleus vowed he would do
the same, in the event of his son’? return
ing from Troy covered w ith victory.” “The
Hunlwar is esteemed holy over a great part
1 of India, so that more than fifteen thousend
| person.? are annually employed to carry it in
flasks to the families of distinction, who use
it at their feasts.”
Bramah, the Indian deity, was the first
who taught the Indians to worship rivers; j
hence the name of the Barampootcr, which
signifies the “Son of Bramah.” “On the
plains of Hindustan, near the confluence of
the streams of the Ganges, the people con
gregate every twelve years, to hold a festival
and bathe in the stream. This pilgrimage
is called the Mela.” The Caahmerians, the
most beautiful people in the world, firmly
believe that they derive their supreme beau
ty from tlieir frequent ablutions in the pure
rivers and springs of their native land.
Philostratus tells us that the “ancient Indi
an kings used to throw bulls and black
horses into the Indus during its overflow.”
“ The Tartar tribes, who trade to A?traean,
worship water; and the Icelanders never
pass a stream without pulling off their hats
before they cross.”
Previous to the time of Plutarch, rivers
were theme* for the song? of the greatest
poets. “ The Aulides, the Tiber, and the
Po, have l>ecn celebrated by Horace, Virgil,
and Ovid; Colimaehus has immortalized the
Inachus; while the Arno, the Mincio, and
Tagus, boast their Petrarch. Boccacchio and
Carnoens.” It was on the Illyssus that
Plato taught his philosophy. The poets of
Shiroz wrote their most celebrated works on
the shores of the Rocnabad, which flows in
crystalline purity, near the chapel of Mo
seka. Camoens, the nightingale of Portu
gal, w hose harp was strung to the soft strains
of love, w hile singing bis Luaiad, wooed, in
the stillness of the night, the snowy-breast
ed nymph? from the bosom of the Tagus, j
It .was on the borders of the Strymon, that j
Orpheus lamented the loss of his beloved
Eurydice. The Israelites, in Rephidim, (
thirsting for water, were supplied by Moses
striking the rock of Horeb. when a cooling
fountain gushed forth in living freshness, j
The Gentoo women are so chary of their
purity, antecedent to death, that they bathe
themselves in a stream before ascending the
funeral pile of their husband. The insti
fution of baptism is, certainly, a relic of this
ancient, praiseworthy practice. Lord, in
his Banian Religion, tells us that that the
Brahmins of Hindostan baptise their chil
dren, as do the Mexican midwives, as soon
as they are horn. Petrarch tells us, to his
great satisfaction, that during the fourteenth
century, the women residing on the hanks
of the Rhine, assembled on a certain day in
the year to wash their hands and arms in it.
Homer, in hi? Oddysse, represents Polycaste
bathing Ulysses, and then pouring on his
head fragrant oil. The Otehiteans bathe
i themselves also; so do the negroes of Ar
drah wash twice a day, and perfume them
selves with aromatic herbs. Captain Cook
tells us that he saw children of five years
old, from the over-turning of a boat, swim
ming delightfully about in the water. —
“ Athendeus relates that the Segrabrigian
ladies presented water to the young men
whom they had chosen for their husbands.”
Adonson, in hi? voyage to Senegal, speaks
with delight of the beautiful banks of the j
river Senegal. Homer, in his 1 Iliad, com
pare* the tears which Agamemnon sheds, to
a fountain gushing from the womb of a
rook. Love has been called a spring peren
nially flowing with delight. Man us Aure
lius desires us to look within, as within the
fountain of God.” Herodotus and Diodorus
Siculus given? beautiful accounts of a foun
tain situated near the Temple of Jupiter
Ammon, called The Fountain of the Sun,
which at the dawn of the day, was warm,
and at noon cold, at which time the Am mo
mans watered their gardens with it. There
was one in the Forests of Dodona, which at
noon, was dry, at midnight, full; and at
the succeeding uoon, was dry again. Eu
sebius tells us that the Arethusn possessed
the power of forming youth to beauty; and
that of Colophon enabling the priests of the
Claviau A|ollo to foretell luture events- ,
Pliny tells us of a spring which if any per
son drank, would die soon after. I can tell
him of one in this country, which furnishes
one hundred millions of gallons of poison ev
ery year, by the drinking of which millions
die annually ! It is called Alcohol. Ve
suvius tells us of a fountain near Zaina, in
Numidia, which possessed the extraordinary
power of increasing the loudness of the
voice. Any jntre water, with good exercise,
will do it. The Mecrobean Ethiopians, who
used to live to the advanced age of one hun
dred and twenty years, attributed their lon
gevity to a fountain in which they bathed,
which perfumed their bodies with an oil, like
the odor of violet*. The Romans prohibit
ed any person from swimming near the
fountain of a stream; and long retained the
custom of throwing nosegays into fountains
and chaplets into wells. “ The Hindoos fre
uently throw flowers on the surface of the
streams, l>ofore they perforin their ablutions.
The story related by St. Cyril, of the Al
exandrian women writing a letter to those in
the city of Bibulus, where the river Adonis,
which rises in Mount Lebanon, empties it
self into the -ea. to inform them that Adonis
still lived, has furnished Tliomas Moore
with the idea out of which he composed that
beautiful poem of his. commencing,
“ Flow on, thou shining river,” &c.
From what ha? been said, it is very easy
to see, not only in w hat respect water was
held by the ancients, but the beneficial ef
fects derived from the use of it. In all
ages of the world, it has been looked upon
as the principal source of life; and many
of the ancient writers, among whom were
Thales, believed it to have been the origin
of all things. Therefore, let those who wish
to be healthy and live long, imitate the ex
ample of some of the most barbarous nations
of the earth. All our boasted civilization
sinks into absolute insignificance, when com
pared with them. In those primeval days
of the world, when man lived to such an ad
vanced old age, and, in doing so, enjoyed
their lives, they made use of no beverage
but that which gushed from the perennial
Fountain? of Nature. Go ye and do like
wise.

GEORGIA CITIZEN
MACON, APRIL \5, 1859.
Scarlet Feykk. —We regret to learn that
this disease is somewhat prevalent in certain
localities of this city, and that some cases
have proved fatal. Our esteemed fellow
citizen, Col. J. 11. R. Washington, has had
the misfortune to lose an interesting and
promising daughter, in the 12th year of her
age. He and family have the sympathy of
our community, under this second bereave
ment within two years past.
Another Floral Offering. —We ac
knowledge the receipt of a beautiful boquet
of choice flowers from Miss G., whose deli
cacy shrinks from further personal recogni
tion than her initials will furnish. Her
offering to the “Citizen” is, however, none
the less gratefully appreciated. On the sub
ject of flowers, the Columbia correspondent
of the Winnsboro’ Register speaks our sen
timents precisely, and we subjoin his arti
cle, with the simple alteration of a word:
Macon “is all abloom with flowers. It is
radiant in its vernal jewels. The eye is
pleased at every turn. The whole air is
redolent of odors. Flowers have been call
ed the smiles of the Creator. How sweet
the Divine.smile that rests upon our garden
city! Willis calls them the alphabet of an
gels. How beautiful a poem has been spell
ed out upon the tablets of our City of Flow
ers! Benjamin has called them love’s truest
• language. How vocal of love then is every
Eden spot of our City of Roses ! AVe
find it altogether natural to love flowers—
all flowers, from the humble, unobtrusive,
and affectionate little violet, to the haughty
head of the peerless and proud Magnolia
Grandiflora—all flowers. We think It very
wicked to not love flowers, as the great type
of beauty. It argues an exclusively logical
class of mind, a dull nature, great depravity
of heart, ora lamentably deficient culture of
heart and head. Flowers are appropriate,
as nature lias given them everywhere. Miss
Landon sings:
‘Bring flowers to crown the cup and lute—
Bring flowers—the bride is near;
Bring flowers to soothe the captive's cell.
Bring flowers to strew the Wer
“ Percival’s lines, that everybody has
quoted, beginning:
4 ln Eiudern lands they talk in flowers,*
are too well known to bear quoting again by
us. In their place let us give the tribute
Willis pays to early flowers. It is at least
in season, and in itself is simple and pure in
style:
‘There is to me
A daintiness about these early flowers.
’l ltouches me like p.ietry. They blow out
With such a simple loveliness among
The common herb* of pasture, and they breathe
Their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts
SVhos# beatings are too gentle for the world.’”
Religious.
Meetings of an interesting and encourag
iug character have been held at the Baptist
and Methodist churches of this city for the
last few weeks. At the former, the pastor
has had the able assistance of the Rev. J. 11.
Campbell, whose services have been engaged
as Evangelist, by the Baptist denomination
of this State.
The pastors of the Methodist church have
had the valuable co-operation of the Rev. J.
E. Evans, who is now Presiding Elder of the
Macon District, and who, we are pleased to
learn, has become a resident of our city.
We also learn that there have been sev
eral accessions to the new mission church of
the Methodist denomination, under the
charge of the Rev. Mr. Armstrong,
Meetings of unusual interest have been
he’d at the Female College, and some thirty

Adjourned on Friday evening hist, till

sons have been convicted of felony—one
sentenced to the Penitentiary, and the oth

will be jiereeived that the Court in Fulton
county sets its face firmly against crime, and
stands erect in the vindication of the wrongs
of injured women. Men who wish to make

a fonduess for the practice of wife whipping,
had better keep away from Fulton county.

Gen. Jackson’s Gold Snuff-Box-*
A private letter from Nashville informs the
Richmond Enquirer that Col. Andrew Jackson,
having been called away to his plantation very
suddenly to attend to important buisness affairs,
as well as to bring bis family to “The Herrai
. tage,” has been compelled to defer the formal
presentation of the gold box recently awarded
by him to Gen. Ward B. Burnett, under the
vote of the New York Itegimant, until Gen.
Burnett (who is Surveyor General) can go to
Kansas and Nebraska to place his deputies in

Mare Opposition to Gov. Brown.
* Tin* last Telegraph contain* a long com
munication, signed “Columbia,” which takes
strong ground against the re-nomination of
Gov. Brown. The following extract from
the document will show which way the wind
blows from this new jaunt of the Democrat
ic compass.
“ The only question which seems to agi
tate the Democratic party at this particular
! juncture is, 11 Shall Got. Brown be the nom
inee of the Democratic party, or not f” “To
be or not to be.” Now, here is an error, in
my judgment, at the very threshold of the
proceedings. The question should be— What
man in the State, who, having all the neces
sary qualifications, can present so clear a re
cord to the party as to claim, and in all pro
bability obtain, the almost unanimous sup
port of the party? Then I ask. is Governor
Brown that man 7 1 answer most unhesi
tatingly, no! I have said that Gov. Brown
has arrayed against himself a respectable
minority of the party, who will not only
not vote for him in any contingency, but
may the more certainly to insure his defeat,
vote i ciik the opposition.
I am no champion of Banks, and in hold
ing up Gov. Brown as their opponent, I do
not do it in consequence of his private opin
ions upon such corporatiie bodies, hut only
because of his decided and aggressive war
fare upon them he has so far alienated him
self from them, as to engender a violent and
hitter oppositiou to him. Ido not think it
the jioliey of the party to nominate a man
against whom there is such a decided and
manifest opposition.
Again, I hold that Gov. Brown has no
claims upon his party to a second term of of
fice. He was not the choice of the conven
tion that nominated him—but, as is well
known, liis nomination was the result of ac
cident. To harmonize conflicting elements,
an outsider was necessary : and as Governor
Brown was elevated to office to conciliate
discord, it is but manly that he should vol
untarily withdraw frun the canvass, when
he sees and knows, that by his own acts, his
’ name will be a fire brand in the ranks. That
Gov. Brown is not “the man for the times”
—let the late action of the Democracy of
’ Fulton attest. And the excitement and hit
ter opposition to his nomination there, may
he taken as an epitome of the whole State—
as an earnest of what will be the result at
the election, if the friends of Gov. Brown
force him upon the party.
I have thus given two reasons why Gov.
Brown should not receive the nomination,
j One is, that lie has made himself obnoxious
to a respectable minority of his party, and
will fail to get their support—and the other
is, that his claims upon the party are
not of such force as to hazard the success of
the election upon his nomination.”
The samecorrespondent suggests the name
of the “ working man of the party for twen
ty-five years ” —Col. James Gardner, of Au
gusta, as the man who deserves the honor of
elevation to the Chief Magistracy. Os Col.
Gardner’s services and claims, “Columbia”
thus discourseth:—
“ If I were called upon to say what man
in tin* State ha* done the greatest amount of
good to the Democratic party, for the last
twenty-five years, I should most unhesita
tingly point to Mr. Gardner. And while I
state this, it should also be borne in mind—
that though Air. Gardner lias thus honestly
and laboriously worked for the advancement
of his party, he has been very modest in
urging his claims upon the party. Precious
few have been the “ hares nndfishes ” to his
political appetite. ‘Tis true, he has been
“ contented tci ’ little,'’ and it is hut human
to suppose that he would be “ canty ■<ci’
tnair .” ’Tis true, on one or two occasions,
his name has been spoken of in connection
with the Gubernatorial chair—and for the
present term of office, his name was prom
inently before the convention for a nomina
tion. But when Air. Gardner saw the list
of aspirants, and saw too, with what perti
nacity the up country clung to the man of
their choice, preferring to see the party
move on in harmony, and not wishing to
have his name clog the wheels of its pro
gress, with self-abnegation he magnanimous
ly withdrew his name from the convention.
If he had run the race through, it is not
certain that the result of the ballotings. ul
timately, would not have been in his favor.
It is certain that the withdrawal of his name
is one of the causes which led to the choice
t of an outsider. These fact* are well known
to Gov. Brown himself, and I jiresume he is
ready to respond to the sentiment of increas
ed indebtedness, (by this act of withdrawal,)
of the party to Air. Gardner.”

Cotton Ship Lost.— AVe observe from the
Alohile papers tVisit the ship Millhottte, of
New Orleans, bound to Havre, with a cargo
of 2,7<M> hales of cotton, ran ashore on the

bilged. She had $25,000 in -pecie. The
specie was saved. The cotton will probably
he a total loss, except 180 hales, which were
taken to Key AVost by the wreckers. The
wreckers were at work to save what they
can.

To a “Planter”
OF THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN.
Mr. Editor, —It was a custom of the
Carthagenian soldier to oil and rnh himself
before he went forth to battle. It would
have Ihmmi well for the eorresjtondent of the
Republican, if he had informed himself of
the origin, progress and history of the Afri
can Slave Trade before he attacked those
who denounce as unconstitutional the law
making it murder and robbery to trade ex- ,
ternally in slaves. Then liis mind, like the
body of the Carthagenian soldier, would
have been oiled and fitted for an attack on
the fidelity and purity of those who believe
it wrong to deprive them of the right to buy
a negro where they can buy him cheapest,
whether it be in Virginia or in Africa.—
That, Air. Editor, is the amount and front
of our offending. All those ask, who favor
a repeal of the laws prohibiting the African
Slave Trade, is a practical application of the
great free-trade principle —to buy where
you can buy cheapest and sell where you
can sell highest.
The correspondent of the Republican calls
the external trade in Slavery iniquitous. —
Now if the trade is unjust and wicked, (for
that is the meaning of iniquitous,) why, the
result of that trade is also unjust and wick
ed, because Slavery in the Southern States
is the effect of an unjust and wicked cause.
Tell me, Air. Planter, how the immoral
purchase and sale of a negro in Africa be
comes a moral sale and purchase of that
same negro and his offspring in the United
States! How came the African here ?
What cause jiroduced that effect? AVa* it a
moral or immoral cause that brought the
negro here? Did he come voluntarily or
involuntarily to a state of servitude? If it
was wrong to bring him against his will
from Africa, it is wrong to hold him as a
slave here, for the cause is immoral, conse
quently the effect is immoral. I ask Air.
Planter if an immoral cause can produce a
moral effect ? or is it possible for a moral
cause to produce an immoral effect ? Cause
and effect must be compatible. Virtue nev
er had tlig effect to produce vice, aud virtue
never was the effect or result of vice. If
the external trade of Slavery is infamous,
i then the result of that trade is also infa
mous, for Slavery in the United States is
but the result of that trade. The trade of
| property cannot he iniquitous withoue the
property being infamous, for the property
will partake of the nature of the trade, and
the trade will partake of the nature of the
property. That, Mr. Editor, is a law in
die is to the pole. C’an you, Air. Editor,
can any man.—could any honorable man
get liis consent to engage in the purchase
and sale of property of which the internal
or external trade was infamous? Ought
any honorable man'eonsent to own property
whose trade he believes to be iniquitous ? I
ask, A[r. Planter, this question. If the Af
rican Slave Trade lias been, and is a means
of moving a human being from a_savage to
a civilized state, where. I ask, is the immor
ality of the African Slave Trade? If it
, does this, I care not how infamous the
means. It is a humane and moral act. Has
it done it ? Let the improvement and ad
vancement of the negro in civilization, an
wer.
The correspondent of the Republican says
all Christendom has pronounced the exter
nal trade of Slavery infamous. AVho does
i he mean, when he says all Christendom?—
Does he mean England, France, and the I
New England States and the North 7 Why,
all these have pronounced Slavery in the
Southern States as infamous. So you see
Christendom, unlike Planter, cannot, not
does not make a distinction between the
African Slave Trade and Southern Slavery.
They condemn both, and pronounce both
infamous. So much for Christendom’s opin
: ion.
If the external trade of Slavery is infa
mous, the internal trade is more infamous, j
The result of the external Slave trade is the
sale and purchase of a savage. The result
of the.internal Slave trade is the sale and
purchase of a human being, civilized and
Christianized. Now which of the two act*
(If there is immorality in buying and selling
negroes,) is to be most condemned? No
man denounces the external trade of Slave
ry who does not, in his heart, condemn the
internal trade of Slavery.
Planter's objection to the traffic, it seems,
is based upon the principle that “ might be
gets right.” In Africa the negroes inherit
nothing hut servitude. It was upon the
principle that might begets right, we ob
tained the land we call ours from the poor
Indian, yet no one laments the treatment of
the Savage of America. AVe robbed them ;
we murdered them, and it was all done un
der an interpretation of the law of nature.
The chiefs of Africa own the negroes there,
a.* does the planter in Virginia, for sale and
use. So there is no “might begets right” 1
in the purchase of a negro in Africa. Plant-*
er gives as reason the removal of negroes
from the tobacco, grain and hemp States,
why we should not bring negroes from Af
rica to the cotton States. That is the very
reason whv negroes should be brought from
Africa to the cotton States. If we can fur
nish the cotton States with negroes from
Africa at $l5O to S2OO apiece, why, we will
by that means keep negroes worth a thou
sand or fifteen hundred dollars apiece in the
Tobacco and Grain States; for no man will
go to Virginia and pay 1,000 dollars for a
negro when he can buy them at his own
door for 150 or 200.
The correspondent of the Republican says
most of those who favor the re-opening of
the Slave trade are bankrupt in reputation.
The most of those that I am acquainted with
are gentlemen, neither broken in fortune,
disappointed in politics, nor bankrupt in
reputation, and I do not think they would
suffer in comparison with Planter, in every
essential of gentlemen and good citizens.—
They are not bankrupt in loyalty and devo- ,
tion to their native Sunny South. They ere
not bankrupt in a just and indignant sense
of the wrongs iniiicted on the South. They
are not bankrupt in independence and self
respect. Tell him that, Mr. Editor, and
then tell him this: They are bankrupt in
submission to wrong. They are bankrupt in
patience with those who are constantly in
quiring, what will the North *ay? They
are bankrupt in devotion to the unconstitu
tional laws that make the external trade of
I it r property murder and robbery.
