Frou th* MilledgeiiU* Cor.of the Sar'ah BepaUican. Gerfia LfftalHrtrr. Milledoeville, Dec. 2, 1859. SENATE. thi caoici bu mo. Mr. Lawton, iixntil that thr nxiuunuoition and tall for Um pardon of Chek* be taken up. Mr. L then propoaed that the Dnatr do propped to art on Hia Excellency's menage arcutnpanvmg that bill. Tbe communication being read. Cot. Lawton ■aid. thattnoee .Senators who had heard him oe tins bill in the few remarks be had made befcxv, would remember that he deprecated all excitement. and wished solely to enter into this question coolly- u be folt ao then, how much how waa he impressed with tbe aolemnity of the occaawn today ! sihall William A. Choice be pardoned ? That waa not the question to-day ; it miaht be incidentally ao. but Uw question of the pardon had been deternuned. and it remained now to determine whether or not that par don had been constitutional He would make l**id to say it had been, and that ao long as oar present | eoasutauon remained a a it “. there power on earth that had tka to resoke that decision- Hi. Excellency n hammrr he had doubts as to whether he had the power to veto this pardon or any other pardon. It was a.-! hia province or desire to interfere with any other ! department of the Government, but that of which lie I waaa member ; but he must say that he did think we were more capable of deriding such a question; we had the conflict of intellect with intellect. Ac. The pardon of Choice had been granted by the (waste and the House ; the question now was not Jp. a the original bill: the question waa. whether or j im, the judgment of the Senate should stand as it was, or should it be reversed ! The question of the ; yeas and nays on the original bill was among -the things that were.” Mr. Lawton read that ctao*e of the Constitution . relating to the powers of the Executive, and argued . that any general clause was over-ruled by a special ; clause. The General power of revisit® given to the j Executive waa over-rules! by the special power gran- 1 to the Legislature to pardon, and be contmuedthat the Governor had not the right to renew a par-ion.— > The eommotatioe of a punishment except in cases of impeachment and murder, belonged to the Govern- | or. The UfidWirr had once undertaken to inter fere with Die power of the Executive, and lie had vary property rebuked them fur tlua assumption of power, and tie now called on the Senate to do the same in return. This pardoning power was ksiged kart, and he hoped the Senate would sustain it* own dignity, and maiatain its own decent®. The Executive trad the power under the ft®atitu bon to sanction, or veto all bills, which were to be e-line tka harnof tt* land. Was this bill to become a t law t So ‘ it was MinpJy a prrdoa, mU a la* of the load. The enstr-m had been to pardon by bilL but ha coatended that it was only custom, and he held that it was just as proper for the Legudatarc under the Constitutional powers granted in regard to pnr don. to meet and tad lot nsntly aa they do for l. ii Senator, Judge of the supreme Court, lc. Who ever heard of the Governor's vetoing the action ot the General Assembly in either of those instances. This pardoning power waa the name aa those alluded to, and the question was not for the par-ion of Choice, but whether or not the Senate tlie General Assembly, would submit to this assumption of pow er. It was eminently proper tuat each i-ranch oi tiie -e.verameat should protect itself, and he called up on Senators to protect their own action. Tin- was like the power to change the t'onstituta® : It was not necessary for the Governor to sign falls for that ■non, because the Constitution expressly granted that power to the General AssemMy. He did hot wish gentlemen to stultify themselves, anti he would tike to see it entered on the journals, that the ques tion waa not on the pardon, hut s n.ply whether or not the Senate would sustain its own judgment. . If there were members who had any doubts on the question of Col. Lawton's ability, clearness, cool ness, and eloquence, I think 1 nay loldly say with out fear of contradiction, that any lurking duul-ts they may have had. have vanished like ®ow in the sunshine, after this naif masterly effort on the con •tituuonalitT of the exclusive legislative power to pardon, and the logical force with which he main mined his position. Mr. Hill, of Troup, argued at length on the Gov ernor's putting his opinion against the i-worn testi mony or eight physician*. The respect that he cn tetauned for the denate would not allow him to re new the case on its merits. He would take coasti tutional ground*. If the Governor had the power to veto, should he have done ao in this case ? The primary question la conferring the power to veto on the Executive, was simplv to allow him the opportu nity to defead himself. It was to give the Governor the power, Ist, Tr. prevent the ocher two branches of the Government from intruding upon the power* of the InMKw. How thispardon did not encroach on the powers of the Executive. 2d. Tbe veto power was to correct hastv legislation. There was no such question here. The bill had been read three times, a -lay had been aet apart for its solemn con federation, it had been calmly, and <** y and delib erately discussed, until the Senate unsuimoudy de clared that they wished no more arg imenl. It was not therefore f.a-iy legislation ; cousequently that feature could not stand, and the veto could not be sustained on that ground. Mr Hill, now went into an elaborate argument, which he handled in a masterly manner, reading authorities Ac, on the origin of the veto power, Un reasons for and against a. came to lie engrafted ,® our constitution, and lodged with the Executive.— He explained tbe difference between thin power in the President of the I'm ted States, and the Govern.* of Georgia. With the view* lie had presented. i.e left it to the candor the Senate, whether or not this attribute despotism, thi* power to veto, would ever have I wen used for sueh a purpose :i* to send a poor, and contrite man to the galiow* after the <4- mn expression by the Genera] A serin My lliat he should be pardoned. He did not heictale to say that such an exercise of the veto power by the queen of England would -Ictbrooe her ;n a twink ling of an eye. American*, huve you Wet even the spirit of English freemen in pw**itig through the are# of the Revolution* (Much applause.) Tbe 2d posits® of Mr. HilL was that assumed by Mr. Lawton, that the Governor had no right to inter fere with this pardoning power. Black-ton,- called it the prerogative of the Crown. Hamilton-peaking of thaU.S.-'alU it the benigD prerogative <>t the PresT. In Georgia this benign prerogative was vested and lodged in the Legislature. The moment thi* power is assumed or passe* out of the place where it is lodged by the constitution, it loses tie perogative feature; and the essence of pardoning is, Uisi. it is a benign prerogative power. It is lodged in the Legislature here, and is a t-enign prerogative ; other Mates have lodged this power in Uwir Legislatures, but he had never heard of the Governor* of those Mates interfering with il It is not lodged as a legis lative, but a* a prerogative power. This r-.int es •sblialwd. and the last plank of the opposiuon was gna Tine pardoning, however, Mr. H. illustrated in this wiee; it was like the prerogative to adjourn: that Wan a power lodged sp* tally with the Legi*iatiire, and with which the Executive had d-klnng to do. Mr. Hill thought we had better before we met again have the expression of the’ •overnor'a opinion, as to what laws we mu® pass, and if His Excellency shall my none, why we need not meet at ail, and ao avoid expense. Ae. Mr. Hill was Wmdly and frequently interrupted in hie speech by applause, and closed, as he always does in a most eloquent and limiting period. Mr Collier believed that lh* wa* the fir*t time in the history of this Government that either branch of the < tenoral Assembly had lefn called upon to <le nds the cuoatituta naiity of its own a--t*. That CvUoa waa usually taken to another tribunal if question needed not the Executive sanction, why consume the time of the Stale in discussing this question. If it did n--t need Hi* Excellen.-v's view*—if it was the law twfore signed it, why it was the law now, and there was no need of its l-etng dis cussed again. The legislature has the power to make law*. Who has the power to pardon ! Tbe Constitution decides that also. Mr. C. read from the ConatiUitK® and contended that the power to pwr dou waa qot different from that granted to nuke laws. He could not see any distinct*® l-etweeu the power* of the Executive to review Mil* or pardon*, soalending that all the pardon* to be f<*ied aii-.ng the records of the State, were effected by tall, aye, which received the modem of the Governor. The bill ow your table preeuie*. that when ■- shall nave fa saw rend three mnee in each branch, and passed both branches of the ••eneral Assembly, received the signature of ita presiding ofheer*. and the -auction and mgnature of the Governor, then a certified <-opy sent to the sheriff of Fulton would enable him to release this unfortunate individual. Mr. K-'ober en large, 1 upon the idee that pardons were like any oth er nils and nee.led the sanction of the Governor. Mr. CL said if this fall dal not need the mud ion of tbs Governor, it was the law already, and the wav to bring this unfortunate man out wa* to sue out a wit kabaoa corpus under thi* act twfore the proper tribunal. The sole question was on the ment* of the bill, for og the vole, the question would be. -hall this Mil n->w pass, and it wa* solely on the question, ahall Choice ne pardoned ’ Mr. Holt offered a Resolution. Mr. Jones, of Newton rose to a point or order. Mr. Guerry would not decide the point ami refer red to the Senate the question whether or mg the Resolution wa* in order. The genets decided it was WA Mr Holt, then said, that he would reply to one Cnt of the gentleman front Fulton. Choice had ■a pardoned, it mattered not by what majontT. and the Senate should sustain its decision. Tlie Constitution distinctly declares that tbe Governor shall not have the power to respite minor offen.-e* It does not leave to the sympathies of one man this power to pardon, and will it then give him the power to deny what what it denies him the power to grant. Here the Governor comes into this Hail, with the admission that be once doubted whether he had thi* power, and brings into your chamber the e\i<le*ee of hia doubt*. The gentleman from Fulton eoMaaded that the pardoning powerrequired the same tall and rour-e to pursued as ail other bills are passed.— This Mr. H denied and read from the the <*®*utu tion. That instrument declare* tiiat.the Legi-lature shall have the power to pardon, but does mg say. that it shall be done, by hill, resolution or otherwise.— It doe* not present- the **i* by which iltese par doneTEa.. be granted. The custom lukl been to do it by bilk but inis custom was within the memory of maa. and did not therefore alter theCdestituth®.’ He referred to Judge Story—Thi* power u> par.h® must tie lodged in one of the three distiuct Icam-hes of the Government; mi, not three, nor two. but ear. Mr Holt reviewed the lV*titnti<®, supporting aMy the position* aaeumed by the gentleman from I hat ham nod Troup. “Law is a rule of action” Ac: A pardon is not a law. an order, a resolution *r a rule. No Sir. it is a re pneve, a forgiveness for the oonißumion of a wrong deed, not commanding or prohibiting, which is a law. Pardon ta not a law. but pardon fur tbe tran gresek® of a law. Mr. Holt elaborated thi idea of the joint action nf both branches As in <-ase of the etecta®* of l’. 8. Jewels. Judge* of thfl Supreme Court Ac, Ac.

PropoMltiou to Sell. Having received numerous letters of enquiry as to the sale of the “Georgia Citizen,” we take this method of informing all concerned, that we are not disposed to sell our establishment at a ruinous sacrifice, nor on long time. The Office will pay for itself, in two years, and that ought to lie inducement enough for a purchaser to make the necessary cash investment. We will not sell on a long credit, as that will not an swer the purpose we have in view', of discharging all our own personal liabilities. If we do not therefore meet with a cash customer before the Ist Tuesday of January, we shall make arrangements to prose cute the business, with all the ener gy of which we are capable. Intolerant Legislation. On Saturday lant, a* we learn from a pri vate letter from Montgomery, Ala., a Bill passed both Houses of tho Alabama Legis lature, impoeing a penalty of SSOO line, or tax, upon each and every “Spiritual Mani festation” made in that State. The Bill on ly waita the signature of the Governor to become a law ! We have no words to express our sense of the unmitigated nonsense of Buch an enact ment, and in the absence of any informa tion a* to the ground* taken by thi* wise legislature for the passage of such a bill, we cannot nay whether ignorancoor bigotry, or both combined, have had most to do, in the work of intolerance. We presume, howev er, that the Legislature was profundly ig norant ot what they were doing. Tliay were, perhaps, under the influence or St. OUrd or St. Monongaliela, and did not feel averse to relax a little from the grave du- Itieas of legislation to become dramatis per sftwo in as broad a fares as was ever played j out by a company of Circus Comedians ! i We will tell those fools and madmen j wbat they have attempted, by thi* ridicu lous legislation. They have violated the Constitution of their State by prohibiting the religions exercise* of a portion of their people. Spiritualism is as much a religion as any other system of faith ever entertain ed. Its manifestation* have been wrought ! out, in various wavs, at Camp Meeting* J Class Meetings, in Spiritual Circles, and in j the silent inspiration of private devotion.— ’ The lata revival in Ireland was jieculiarlv marked by outward physical manifestations far more wonderful than those given by Spiritual Mediums. Heuce, this law is a blow against all inspiration —whether ofthe pulpit, of the Bible or of the family altar. 2dly. They have violated, by a prohibi j tory act, the rights of a citizen, to give Lec- I turesor Fxhibiiionson any branch of science ■ or philosophy, in which mind or spirit has ! any thing to do. i .Idly. They have, in tho plcntitude of their 1 iguorance, attempted to veto the doctrine of sn immortal He which lift- been f*lal>li-htd 1 by the phenomena of Spiritual Intercourse, k while at the parnc time they freely admit Jugglers, Buff oons, Ballet-dancer. and the It/bolc tribe of Mesiiierisers, Biologists and Ethiopian Carr icaturists to show otf their folly and their -nakod persons to the gaze of their wives and -daughters—in any part of | their common wet Ith ! j In fine, this Alat amalegislature has “writ ten themselves down asses” of the longest kind of ears, white they were thinking that they were very snuart conservators of the pub | lie weal! ii We shall be anxious to see the debate in full, on this iniquitous bill, in order to ascer. tain whether there id a single man in the Legislature of the noble State ot Alabama, who had the manliness to rebuke the insan ity with which the majority of that body seem to have been afflicted. We have no apprehensions, however, as to any evil ef fect of this legislation upon the progress of j Spiritualism. A. more effectual method to * disseminate this sublime and glerious faith could not possibly have been adopted.— The public mind wi.'l, thereby, be called to the subject, and th ough ail “Rome may howl” and all the pha’ * of religious bigo try may wax wioth ytt wii the truth pre vail, to the terror and dm*y of wh o place themselves in the w*y of l be over whelming tide of progre. ‘f trhieh is now •weeping over the wer'd. , To Mr. “South” of the “Journal A Messenger.” The gross personal attack you have made in the last “Journal and Messenger’* upon the Editor of the Citizen, stamps you, not only a “vil lanous mischief-maker,” but also, a miserable liar and slanderer ! For proof of this deliberate judgment, I will sift your last communication and shoxt up its vile calumnies. Ist. I have been an intermedler (you say,) with things that did not concern me. Lie Xo. 1. 3d. I have for the last year or two made the Citizen and Spiritualist subservient to my hatred of religion ists who fed and clothed me. Lie Xo. 2 ; made out of irhole cloth —as the several religious denominations here know', that I have never assail ed the religion of any one, but have defended my own, only when assail | ed. My gratuitous advertising and other contributions to charitable * and religious purposes, of all sects, ; bear me out in this declaration. 3d. I have assailed the religion of ‘South’s’ Fathers and the Christi an Ministers. Lie Xo. 3. I have only rep ied, occasionally to the thousand | and one assaults of some ministers ! upon Universalism and Spiritualism. 4th. I have invited northern men and women of doubtful antecedents to visit Macon for the purpose of as sailing religion, &c. This is a vile fabrication for which I have no an swer but indignant scorn and con tempt. Mittatement Xo. 4. sth. My “whole course has ten ded to bring the Church of God into disrepute,” says South. Miserable libeller ! Point to a single instance where I have done, this or stand convicted before the public as a low, sneaking assassin of character, that has not the moral courage to own himself the miscreant that he is ! Against the Church of men and de vils I may have spoken, but never against the Church of the living God—never. Misrepresentation Xo. 5. Oth. I have mado piteous calls for patronage and through sympathy received it. Lie Xo. 6. If “South” will reveal himself and show that he ever patronized me to the value of a red herring, I will pledge myself to pay him back with interest and dam ages ! I believe “South” to be one of those sponging, worthless vagabonds that will patronize every paper in town to the extent of his name, but of whose money not a red cent ever went into the coffers of the swindled printer ! 7th. “South” says I am the apolo gist of an abolition sheet, when in the same Citizen in which he finds this apology, I have unsparingly denounced, not one but three- papers, on account of their abolition pro clivities. For months and years past, too, as far back as 1834, I have the proof to show that I, as a South ern man and public Journalist, have again and again denounced my re ligious brethren Xorth, for their ah alitionism. Lie Xo. 7. Bth. “South” asks me to tell how many Spiritualists papers and lead ing Spiritualists, North, are not abo litionists. I answer, I suppose there are about as many in proportion to their number, as there are among the Methodists and other religionists North ! The Spiritualists, however have this advantage over others.— They have no leaders to make creeds for them, nor “Spiritual Lords” to tyranize over their consciences. In fine, “South” repudiates all re sponsible inspiration for his religi ous fraternity. Had he lived in the days of Pentecost, he would have re pudiated the ‘irrepressible invisible* agency which descended like‘cloven tongues of fire” upon the multitude. Wc have been aware that the preach ing of the day lacked in Holy Spirit influence, but did not expect so pal pa bjo a confession of the fact from one of the devotees of “ atrfuldoxy .” To the readers of the Citizen, I beg leave to say, that this writing i* made necessary to reach the eye of those who will not otherwise see my defence from the scurrility of this cor respondent of the Journal and Mes senger. This is my apology, for in troducing such matters into these columns. To “South,” himself, 1 would recommend the prayerful stu d}’ of the following passages of holy writ—“ Judas went out and hanged himself “GO THOU ANI) DO LIKEWISE.” L. F. \\\ ANDREWS. Our \Vautn. A Virginia (’oteniporary says under tlis head : “We want money, meat, meal, flour, lard, butter, cabbages, turn ips, potatoes, turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, candles, oil, gas, wood, water, dried apples, peaches, pears, coffee, sugar, tea, cheese, cakes, crackers, and all other eatable things, except fish, oysters, crabs, turtles, tarrapins, frogs, tad-poles, and all such Jike aquatic animals Vhidi are only fit to be used on certain occasions. We want a hat, Ih>o(s, coat, pants, vest, and all other wearables peculiar to the race of the males brotherhood. There is more point in this paragraph than many of our readers might sup pose.” We could sum up our wants more briefly than the editor afore said, by simply saying that we want all our delinquent patrons to pay us at once —‘immediately if not sooner,’ what they are owing us for subscrip tion and advertising. Send us the MONEY, friends, that belongs to us by right of hard service and cash outlay for your benefit, and we can easily buy the potatoes and the cabbage and the other etceteras which may he needed, as well as pay our debts. We fear that many of our patrons hare forgotten that the Chriemas Holidays are approaching, anu they j are in blissful ignorance of the fact that vve have not a single pullet or Turkey in the coop, to make glad the stomachs of our household ! Let all true patriots then wake np and come to the rescue—as there, else, will soon be a crisis upon us ! [Frmn theßeim-Werkly Citiwn 10th inst. “Spiritualism aud Brow iiisin.” Some villaoous mischief maker has used the columns of that unscrupulously sancti fied sheet—the “Journal an d Messenger,” of Wednesday, to assail the “Spirtiualists” of Macon, by a lying and malicious insin uation that there is some connection between Spiritualism and John Brvwnism! This j is done by parading before the readers of that print, a prayer made at Cleveland, Ohio, by a man of the name of Stirling, (who is said to Ire a Spiritualist,) in behalf of Os sawattomie Brown. Now, as an offset to this delectable piece of logic, we have only to quote from the New York Express of the 3d December, some of the sayings and doings of the North ern brethren ot Mr. Joshua Knowles and Brother Simri, as to this same John Brown, on the day of the execution of the old thief and murderer. . The meeting was held, Friday morning, at Dr. Cheerer's (Congregational) Church, New York. Brother Harper (Methodist) prayed as follows : Out of the depths of humiliation and sor row, we cry unto Thee, O ! Lord. We are in deep grief, because of sin and the power* of darkness. We come to Thee in behalf of , the servant who is now under penalty of death, not because of any act of cruelty or of crime perpetrated by him, but because of bis love of justice, truth and righteousness, and because of his sympathy with the poor and the oppressed. Be with him now, O! j Lord, in this hour of darkness. (Amen.) ( Oh ! Jesus, who wast once crucified for him, and who snidst ‘My soul is exceeding sor rowful unto death and, ‘Father, if thou • wilt let this cup pass from me. nevertheless not my will but thine l>e dona’ —support j him now. Thou dost sympathise with Thy servant in his hour of deep suffering : we beseech Thee be with l.im ; stand by him, and give bint the assurance of Thy love and presence. May lie stand on the gallows as on Pisgah’s top, till he descry the promis ed land. May he see the Saviour, and hear him say those words of approval of his acts, ‘Well, done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. We beseech Thee enable him to rejoice as did the Apostle of old, and enable him to say with him, ‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course : henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of glory, which God the righteous Judge shall give me'this day.’ And, O Lord grant that this terrible event, so affecting to Thy children, and so dis graceful to this nation, will awaken the sympathy of all the people in the North and throughout the world (Amen! amen!) — We beseech Thee awaken us to the continn al thought of opposition to all oppressors and tyrants, and grant that the people of this land may awaken to a sense of their responsibility in (his matter, and that Thou mayst overthrow this terrible system of ini quity, and use the power whft-h is iu Thine hands for that purpose, and for the attain ment of this object. May this servant ac complish his mission by showing those Pha raohs their iniquity : and may wn all labor to see this accomplished : occnmplubed iu our own day, (amen,) so that this curse may be swept away from among us, (amen.) — Haer us and grant u all we a>k for Christ’s sake. Amen. Brother Lewis Tappan (Presbyterian) i praved thus : We are reminded. O ! God, of the time when thou wast led forth and put to death upon the cross. Oh God grant that the spectacle taking place to-day in this land which is called civilized, but over which an gels weep, (groans) may wring the hearts of the people (Amen :) and that this tragi cal event may be sanctified to the people of the land, for the good of those who trample on the rights of their fcllowmen, [Amen] and may it work for the good of the op pressed and down-trodden, [Amen.] \V pray Thee be nigh to thv servant, surroun ded as he is by infuriated enemies, with no wife or child to comfort him. Be gracious unto him and let him feel Thine arm around him. Lift him up above the multitude, which are thirsting for hi* blood, and let him say as Thou did’st, ‘Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.’— [Amen.] We feel happy that he lias been permitted to laydown his life for his fellow men in imitation of Thee, although he took wrong means to accomplish his work, ret he was actuated by a love for the blessed Redeemer and for the honor of Jesus Christ and the good of his country. Let him be immoveable on this trying occasion and not dishonor the cause of’Jesus Christ and the came of freedom. [Amen,] and may he so conduct himself by Thy Grace, that the mul titude around him may feci that he is a Christian—a Christian martyr, standing on the verge of eternity, and about to deliver himself into the arms of the blessed Savior, [Amen.] Have mercy on the poc,r slaves ; j encourage, give them patience and resigna -1 tion to let them know that in good time, thou will perform thy promise. Rev. W. S. Hall, a Baptist Brother then prayed : He prayed for dear servant, their brother in bonds, whom a little while would ! deliver up his life a sacrifice to’tnuh, prihei ple and right. He thanked God that in our j sin-cursed land there was one who would do i right, when all did wrong, and who reduced to practice the principles of our holy reli gion. He thanked God that he had united Brown’s spirit with that of Jesus. He prav i ed that that spirit might fill the heart of John Brown to-day. [Amen.] And as he stood up for the principles of primitive reli gion let him feel the presence of his Lord and Master, while surrounded by those who ‘gnashed on him with their teeth,’ while they thirsted for the warm blood of his ; kind, honest and benevolent heart. He trusted that h : s deportment. to-day would I carry conviction to this guilty land, ( Amen.) i Tho executioners, the Judges, and the Lnw i vers who pleaded against him and the Yir i ginian authorities. Oh ! might God troub | ie them to-day (amen ;] and let them feel i that they had raised their puny arm against Heaven [Amen.] A MKTHODIST MINISTER'S VIEWS. Professor Mattcson said he was a Metho dist minister and approved of Dr Cheever’s principles ns given from the pulpit. He did not represent the Methodist Ministry, but he wished he could see twelve ot his ministers there to night, and would he g ad to see it so noted in the Tribune, Times, Herald and Express. Rev. Mr. French, [Methodist.] said Amen to that. “Rev. Mr. French (Methodist) said that the ! difference between Lafayette and Jno Brown , whs that the former bionght his men with him ; the latter had his men to come, and they would come. (Applause.) They said John Brown was dead. He never had such an : exi'tence as he had to-night. (Applause.)— He believed that John Brown was permit ted to show enough weakness, that they i should not canonize him, but give glory to God for his death. People talked of im prudence. He thanked God there was then a pulpit and*a ministry that was, in a world ly sense, imprudent; (Applause) and church es and ministers like to these were wanted. “Rev. Dr. Sloan protested against any ore saying that John Brown was guilty of rashness, or had any hallucination. The world had never made a martyr but they wrote treason as his crime. Jesus of Naz areth had written over His cross that He was “King of the Jews,” and St. Stephen was pronounced guilty of blasphemy. In dossing, he said if lie had to choose between the Liberater and the New York Observer, give him Wm. Loyd Garrison. (Great ap plause, which was repeated, women and all clappiDg bauds and stamping.)’’ Now, in the language of “South,” (the scribbler in the “Messenger and Journal” we ’ would not cast any imputation or suspicion j upon resident Methodists or Baptists, (f 1 there are such amongst us f) but if the above is a correct exposition of the Methodisticai or Baptistical or Presbyterian “orthodoxy,” the invisible intelligences that control and direct the movements of these fanatics may send among us those w< o may raise au im proper spirit iu the South.” And if ail we hear is true, this class of men have already been detected in preaching up insurrection among the slaves of the South. Lh them be watched ! In conclusion, parmit u* to say, that it was only a wet k or two ago, that the E lit or of tbc Macon ‘‘Christian Spiritualist” took occasion to rebuke a northern Editor of a Spiritual paper for his abolition views and assults upon Southern Spiritualists for being pro-slavery ! Such men receive no countenance from tho Spiritualists of Macon, “if there are such amongst us,” as, “South,’’ says, by which parenthetical phrase he proves himseif tp be a hypocrite of the first water. If he knew there were hundred? of Spiritualists in Ma -on, then his article, proves him malicious. If he did not know there were any such, then be had his trouble for j his pains, because hit article, otherwise, has no pith, point or baaring. Spiritualism vs. Slavery.—The Madison (Ga.,) Visitor blows up the “Spir itual Age,’’ of Boston, an abolition sheet, and cautions the public against its incendi ary teachings. We do not believe the “Age” is an abolition sheet, though we noticed that it lately admitted a very rabid article from a Maine correspondent, calling upon Spirit ualists, North, to wage a war of extermina tion ag*inst the S >uth aud its peculiar In stitutions. This, however, we apprehend, should not be taken as any proof ot the ab o ition tendencies of Spiritualism. Because the northern Spirituals papers and writers are tinctured with the fanaticism so preva lent in their section, is no evidence whatev er, that the doctrines of Spiritualism are responsible for such an outside attachment. On the same principle Christianity itself will be utterly condemned as incendiary and revolutionary, for the reason that north ern Methodists aud Baptists, and other de nominations, mix up political abolition with it. But Spiritualism is Christianity subli mated. The doctrine of Immortal Life, which Christianity teaches, and which all Christians receive by faith , is verified and made profound knowledge by Spiritnaisra ! The latter is an amplification aud demon stration of the former—aud in no way, an tngenistical thereto. Therefore we should discriminate when we come to pronounce a judgment npon the subject, and not make Spiritualism and Cbristiauity amenable for the folly of their professor?. We agree, however, with the “Visitor,” that the “Spiritual Age” should cot be pa tronized at the South, so long as it indulges its abolition proclivities. And we would sav the same respecting two papers published at Ilopedale, Mass., entitled the “Practical Christian,” and “Rtdical Spiritualist.” They are both anti-slavery, and should not be al lowed to circulate through the South.— lb. The Greatest Show Out! Robin?on & Like’s Circus, which w4s here, the other day, and which will pass , through So. West Georgia, soon, is decided ly worth sewing. The wild beasts are splen did specimens of the *avage animals, while I the equestrian jierformances are unsurpass j ingly beautiful. The riding of a little fairy creature, only eight yean of age, was pro nounced to be inapproachable. This little girl is indeed a wonder, in her line. The walking Ac. on the wire, by a lady, was al so a fine performance. Persona who read this, just enquire for the Great Circus of which Col.

Municipal. — On Monday evering last, the old Board of Aldermen and City Officers, vacated their seats, and the newly elected Mayor and Aldermen were sworn in, according to law. On the same even ing, an election was held for Bridge Keeper, j Clerk of the Market, Marshal and Deputies, &c, which resulted in the re-election of tha j Officers of the year just expired, with the exception of the Guard House Keeper. W. P. Amkrson was elected in room of Mr. J. B. Arnold, who will be transferred, we un derstand, to the Police Department, not yet organized. There was no election for City Printer, and we take occasion to say, that as the Tick et elected was not pledged to “reform,” the present incumbent of that station should not be reformed out of his position, for the benefit of others who have received several thous and dollars of /tarty patronage, annually, without doing the work of the party ! This is as much as our modesty will permit us to say, at present. Late Mews Itemx. Mr The Legislature adjourns to-dav, F rid* y. fej-Dr. Robert K.

Mr. Editor— Dear Sir : It was my plea sure to witness, to-day, what would rejoice the heart of any southern-born citizen. The citizens of Boston and vicinity, assembled in that old “cradle of liberty, - ’ Panes if Ilall, this morning, for the purpose of denouncing the late attempt made by certain citizens of Massachusetts, to make a martyr and a saint of that man, John Brown, who has so lately forfaited an unworthy and murderous life. They came together to prove to the South that there were men yet left in Massachu setts, who detest the principles of a few fa natics here, and are ready to take the hand of the South with brotherly affection, and to do all that in them lies t crush tbe blight ing sentimants of tho.e “one iuea’d men,” the self styled Abolitionists. They feel that they have slumbered and slept too long, and now that this last outrageous attack has been made upon a sister State without a cause, they have aroused in their might, aud are determined to graan the throats of these fioiidish idealists, and say: “spill another drop of our brother's biood and you die.”— They say that out of the 120,000 voters of Mas sachusetts, only 58,000 exercise the privil ege of the elective franchise, therefore they call upon the remaining 02,000 voters to come forward and prove to Southern men, that Massachusetts, bad as site it, has still a heart, large enough to love them as fellow countrymen. Oh ! it would have thrilled the heart of every true Georgian, (ah. that noble name.') had they stood where I stood, in that sacred ball of Liberty, to look upon that vast assem bly, over inch of ground occupied, every part of the floor, the galleries and the entries crowded to excoas, and people hanging, with eager ears, from the balconies within and without tbe hall, indeed, every available spot, could they but plant one foot, was densely crowded as it wa* never known be fore with human hearts, men ! Could they have listened with me, as the venerable lips of Ex-Governor Lincoln said “of the mo tives of John Brown, and the manly traits of his character, we had nothing to say.— We left to the excusers and defender* of a man, whose life had been justly forfeited to the laws of hi* Country by atrocious crimin ality and could their hearts have throb i bed and theircheeks tingled with mine, when ! that sentiment was echoed by tbe most deaf '■ cuing applause, could they have heard tho occasional timid hi** of some deluded man, answered bj the shout cry, of “ Down with the negro worshipper! Down with him!” or when allusion was made to fanatic Garri soriane, to hear the cry go up: “Hang ; them too and then th e realty earnest voice j ofa man, who cannot even approach the door: “Let me in, let mo in, I want to help save the Union.” And, then could they have heard the long, loud and re-echoing peal es tremendous ap plause, as it trembled from floor to ceiling, when *he noble word* uttered : “If they urill fight, they must first meet the blade of their wen fellow citizens of Massachusetts /” Could they have heard all this, they would have boon astounded ns I was, to think that there was *o much of the spirit of true love for u* in the State that we have so long looked npon, as our bitterest foe. These facts speak volumes, they prove to us that ere long, a reaction in to take place here, and it needs but a little encouragement and kindness on our part, to ronse the pure blood of even j Massachusetts.to aid in crushing our wrongs. Then few will be the days before the fanatic’s voice will echo in empty halls. One singular incident, if you permit it, I would like to add :—The throne of grcce, I on thi* occasion, was invoked by the Rev G. W. BUgden, senior pastor of the Old South, 1 who is a near relative of that terrible fanat ic and opponent Wendel Philips : and, but a few evening* sine#, hi* colleague,tliejunior p>tor of the Old South, was guilty of the treasonable art of a : dbgtwo or three fanat ics in calling together men. and a?suring : them that John Brown was the greatest martyr, hero, saint, angel'aml madman that ever lived, sentiments they dared not utter ’ in Faneuil Hall, and half of whom they ad dressed, only went to listen to their “vitu | jierative eloquence.” and came away to laugh at their madness. At the meeting of this morning, the pas tor* of the Methodist Episcopal Church here, 1 were almost unanimously represented, be sides many of others of different denomina tions, who, although feeling no right to join in the political words that were said, came determined to show their people that their i convictions were, that the God of mercy ; frowned upon violence.” YV. ■w ■ Obituary. —Mrs. Fernando Wood, w’ife of the Mayor elect of X.
