Sec. 3. Subjects to a fine of $5,000
and imprisonment in the State prison
for five year?, ail who shall seize aay
person entitled to freedom, with intent
to have such person held in slavery.
Sec. 4. Prohibits admission of depo
sitions in all cases under this act, and
provides that if any witness testifies
falsely in behalf of the party accused and ,
prosecuted under this act, he shall bo
fined $5,000, and imprisoned five years
in the State prison. This Uw is. in the
opinion of your committee, but little
short of an invitation to perjury, by
imposing no penalties on false swearing
against the party accused.
The resolutions of the Legislature are
offensive and disorganizing.
RHODE ISLAND.
The statutes of Rhode Island prov ide
that any one who transports or causes j
to be transported, by land or water, any
person lawfully inhabiting therein, t-< I
any place without the l.mits of the
State, except by due course of law.
shall be imprisoned not iess than one ■
or more than ten years. They also pro-1
hibit all officers from aiding in executing
the fugitive slave law. or arresting a fu
gitive slave, and deny the use of her jails
and public buildings for securing any
such fugitives.
NEW YOIIK.
This State has enacted that every per
son who shall, without lawful authori
ty, remove or attempt to remove from
this State any fugitive slave, shall for
feit, to the party aggrieved, five hundred
dollars, and bo imprisoned not exce i- j
ing ten years in the State prision : and
all accessories alter the fact are also lia
ble to imprisonment.
The habeas corpus act provides that
fugitive slaves shall be entitled to trial
by jury, and makes it the duty of all the
Commonwealth’s Attorneys to defend
the fugitive slave at the expense of the
State.
New York has affugitive law of her
own. which is of no practical use, and
has forbidden her juaieail officers from
proceeding under any other law.
Prior to 1841, persons not inhabitants
of the State were allowed to take
their slaves with them, and keep them in
the State for a limited time, but the law
has been repealed.
NEW JERSEY.
Her law provides that if any person
shall forcibly take away from this State
any man, woman or child, bond or free,
into another State, he shill be fined not
exceeding SI,OOO or punished by impris
onment at hard labor not exceeding five
years, or both.
The habeas corpus act gives a trial by
jury to fugitive slaves, and ail judicial
officers are prohibited from acting un
der any other than the law of New Jer
sey.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Prior to 1847 non-resident owner? of
slaves were allowed to retain them in
Pennsylvania not exceeding six months.
In 1847 this privilege was revoked.—
Slaves are also allowed to testify in all
cases in the courts of Pennsylvania. It
is further provided by law, that any per
son “ who violently and tumultuously
seizes upon any negro or mulatto, and
carries such a negro away to any place
either with or without the intention ot
taking such a negro before a district
or ‘ircuit judge, shall be fined not ex
ceeding three months. The law also pun
ishes with heavy fine and imprisonment
in the penitentiary, any person w ho may
forcibly carry away or attempt to carry
away any free negro or mulatto from the
State. The sale of fugitive slaves is
prohibited under heavy penalties, and a
trial by jury is secured to fugitive slaves
in violation of the laws of the I nited
States.
ILLINOIS.
Illinois has prohibited, under pain of
imprisonment of not less than one, nor
more than seven years, any person from
stealing or arresting any slave, with the
design of taking such slave out of the
State, without first hiving established
his claim thereto, according to the laws
of the United States. Thoe penalties
will be incurred by the master who pur
sues h’s slave across the border and ap
prehends him, without waiting for the
action of commissioners or courts.
INDIANA.
Some of the laws of this State are fa
vorable to the recovery of a fugitive
from labor. But the law as to kidnap
ping is similar to that of Illinois, as a
bovo noted, except that the penalties
are greater. The fine is not Jess than
SIOO, nor more than $5,000, tfnd the
term of imprisonment not less than two
nor more than fourteen years.
OUIO.
In 1858 the most offensive parts of
the laws of this State w ere repealed. It
is understood, however, that measures
are in contemplation; if they have not
already been initiated, to re-enact them.
MICHIGAN.
The laws of this State are peculiarly
obnoxious to criticism. They not only
deny the use of the jails and public build
ings to seeure fugitive slaves, and re
quire the attorneys for the common
wealth to defend them at the expense of
the Slate, but the la* of Connecticut in
relation to the punishment of persons
falsely alledging others to be slaves, is
adopted, with the addition that any per
son who cairies a -slave into this State,
claiming him as such, shall be punished
by imprisonment in the State prison for
a period not exceeding ten years, or by
a fine not exceeding SI,OOO.
Tne habeas corpus act provides for tri
al by jury of claims to fugitive slaves.
Resolutions have also been adopted
by the Legislature urging the repeal of
the fugitive slave law, and the prohibi
tion of slavery in the District of Colum
bia and the Territories.
WISCONSIN.
Following the example of her sister
States of the North, in partsof their hos
tile legislation, this State has, in some
particulars, gone beyond all the rest. —
She lias directed her district attorneys,
in all cases of fugitive slaves, to appear
for and defend them at the expense of
the State. She has required the issue of
the writ of habeas corpus, on the mere
statement of the district attorned that a
person in custody is detained as a fugi
tive slave, and directs all her judicial and
executive officers who’have reason to be
lieve that a person is about to be ar
rested or claimed on such ground, to give
notice to the district attorney of the
county where the person resides. If a
judge in vacation fails to discharge the
arrested fugitive slaves on the habeas
corpus , an appeal is allowed to the next
Circuit Court. Trial by jury is to be
granted at the election if either party,
and all costs of trial, which w’ould other
wise fall on the fugitive, are assumed by
the State. A law has also beeu enacted,
similar to that of Connecticut, for the
punishment of one who shall falsely and
maliciously declare a person to be a
fugitive slave, with intent to aid in pro
curing the forcible removal of such per
son from the State as a slave. A sec
tion is added to the provisions of this
Connecticut law, for the punishment, by
imprisonment in the State prison, of any
person who -hall obstruct the execution
of a warrant issued under it, or aid in
the escape of the person accused. An
other section forbids the enforcement of
a judgment recoved for violation of the
“fugitive slave act,” by the sale of any
real or personal property m the State,
and makes its provisions appl . ble to
judgements theretofore rendered.
The law relative to kidnapping pun
ishes the forcible seizure, without lawful
authority, of any person of color, with
inter t to cause him to be sent out of the
State or sold as a slave or in any man
ner to transfer h : s services or labor, or
the actual selling or t ransferring the ser
vice of such person by imprisonment in
the State prison from one to two years,
or by a fine from five hundred to one
thousand dollars. The consent of the
person seized, sold or transferred, rot to
be a defense, unless it appear to the ju
ry that it was not obtained by fraud, nor
extorted by duresses or threats.
IOWA.
The law of this State is similar to
that of In'liana, except that here there
seems to be no direct provision favor
ing the recovery of fugitive slaves. Like
that of Indiana and Illinois, the law as to
kidnapping roav be so construed as
greatly to obstruct the arrest of such
fugitives. The maximum of punishment
is, however, something less, being five
years in the Stale prison and a tine ol
SI,OOO.
Offensive resolutions have also been
adopted by its Legislature.
MINNESOTA.
What is to be objected to the legisla
tion of this State is, that th**re is no sufi
cient recognition of the right of the mas
ter to recover his fugitive slave; and
consequently even if such was not the
design of the omission, the way is left
open for the perversion of the law rela
tive to the writ of habeas corpus, to the
injury of slave owners.
Such are some of the evidences de
rived from official sources, of the rapid
growth of unkind feelings among the
people of the North to their brethren of
the South.
COTTON PbAXTKIW’ CON
VENTION.
Macon, Ga., Jan. £sth, ’CO.
The Board, constituted at the la*t ‘'ailed
jesiion of the Convention, met to-day, for
the transaction of the business assigned them-
As we propose anew and attractive feature
in our Southern Industrial Fair—the exhi
bition of foreign manufactures, as samples
of direct importation—it was thought ad
visable to add another gentleman to cur Eu
ropean delegation. “Whereupon, it was
Resolved, That the lion. Thomas Builtr
King be appointed an associate with Col.
Howell Cobb and Col. John 8. Thomas, and
that he be requested to accompany those
gentlemen to Europe, as representatives of
the Cotton Planters'Convention of the State
of Georgia.
To disabuse the public mind of misconcep
tion in reference to our policy, we state
once for all. that we seek, as far as in us
lies, to establish direct trade with Europe—
not free trade. We are not visionaries—we
are not speculative political econ< •• ists. We
are practical farmer*; and we w -t to work
substantially lor the best interests of tbr
whole South, in this matter. Thatour mere
chants from the interior ought to buy their
sjooods from New Orleans, Mobile. Savan
nah, Charles on, Baltimore, or someone or
more of these place?, is a proposition which
only netds to be stated, in view of the pres
ent stata of oar Commonwealth.
The Board could not perfect a premium

sity, they present the following, so that Far

From the Daily Telegraph,
l-eltor from r. iuyler,
Macon, Feb. 8, 1800.
Mr. Clisby : Dear Sir — Ah the j
building of the Macon and W arren- !
ton Ilailroad, or of a direct railroad |
from Macon to Augusta, seems to he ]
(generally spoken of, I beg a short
! space in your paper, to present some
! indisputable facts bearing on the j
( subject
Unless the contemplated eonhec- *
tion between Augusta and Macon is j
made by building lienee to Warren *
ton, no “aid or comfort” need lie 1
expected from the Georgia Hoad, I
Atlanta, and the Atlanta and West j
Point Railroad.
Without the expenditure of a very j
large, sum Macon ami Warrenton can
not he joined by a railroad short of j
eighty miles. The maximumgrade of
! the line cannot well be under fifty
j feet to the mile. The distance then,
by the Warrenton route, from this
place to Augusta, would be one hun
-1 dred and thirty miles, and to the city
iof Charleston it would two hundred
and sixty-seven miles with grades
j of fifty feet between Macon and Au-
J gust a* and with the much heavier
.rrade on the South Carolina road at
Aik in.
Cotton cannot stop in Augusta : it
must go to the sea, and hence
Charleston, in this connection, must
, he considered its ultimate uestina
■ tion, this side the Northern cities
; and Europe.
i The distance from this city to
t Charleston, passing through theCen
trul Railroad depot, by the Central
and Charleston and Savannah roads,
iis 294 miles. The maxima grade on
the line is thirty feet to the mile.
This line of 294 miles can he work
ed at a cheaper rate than the Augus
jta line ot 207 miles. Rut suppose
it cannot ho worked any cheaper ;
i it must be conceded that it would be
! a carrier of produce from Macon to
Charleston at as loic a rate as the
. Augusta line.
| The distance from Charleston to
i Savannah /liver, thirteen miles above
! Savannah by the Charleston and Sa
vannah Railroad, is ninety-one miles.
From the bridge oVcr Savannah Riv
er to Marlow on the Central road, in
an air line, the distance is twelve
J miles. The distance from Marlow
jto Macon is 1 <4 miles. Then the
building of a railroad of twelve miles
| between Marlow and the bridge, a
work which could he accomplished
with ease in six months, at a cost
not exceeding 8150,000, would give
a railroad line between Charleston
and Macon of 2(58 miles, infinitely
superior to the Warrenton and Au
gusta line, in both grade and align
ment.
The line from Marlow to Savannah
River cannot injure Savannah or the
Charleston road. Indeed, as the
Central Hoad contemplates, for cer
tain portions of its track, a double
way, the building of twelve miles of
road would accomplish the task of
making a double track between Mnr
; low ami Savannah.
I bold, tlmn, that the lower or
Savannah line will command the
; business be ween Charleston and Ma
j con, notwithstanding tiie building of
the Augusta connection throuhg
‘ Warrenton.
As Augusta is an interior cotton
market, whence cotton must go tn
the sea, the contemplated line by
Warrenton, if it shall get the carriage
of cotton from Macon, can only be a
line at the expense of Macon, tbr the
effect of it would be to make Augus
ta the best interior cotton market.
M aeon, by position and railroad con |
nections, is destined to be in a short
time the best interior cotton market
if she does not lend herself to the
ungracious work ofbuilding up Au
gusta at the expense of Macon.
It is admitted tliat the passage
traffic of the Macon and Warrenton
line would be of great advantage to
Macon, but who can doubt, on due
examination, that the great bulk of
the freighting business the main stay
of the railroads of Georgia, wouid be
done by the Central and Charleston
roads!
You will remark that I have not
spoken, so far, of the city of Savan
nah. I cannot’ suffer myself to boast
of her rapid progress towards the dis
tinction of being the third cotton
port of the Union, hut I invite your
attention to the receipts of cotton at
Savannah last year and this year.—
Cotton from Macon can reach Savan
nah in 190 miles; it must he carried
207 by the short contemplated route,
to reach Charleston. Why will not
the greater part of the cotton frpm
Macon continue to be sold in Savan
nah. or continue to pass through Sa
vannah, on its way to the Northern
cities or Europe ?
It cannot bo e v peeted that the
city of Charleston, which has borne
the whole cost of the Charleston and
Savannah Railroad, will now sub
scribe to build up a rival to their own
line. The Charleston and Savannah
Railroad must work in friendly con
nection with the Central Road, for in
that direction lies their interest.
The fact is, my dear sir, that the
opening of the Charleston and Sav
annah Road will be the opening of a
new era to Macon to the Central Rail
road, to Savannah, and Charleston
herself. The completion of this At
lantic commercial link may not prove
df any advantage to Augusta, but Au
gusta cannot counteract its benefi
cial impress on the general business
of the country.
I offer as au apology for this ex
pression of opinion, that circumstan
ces seem to demand it of me. I scarce
need say that I am sure much will
he said against me and my motives
in addressing you. Time, however,
will determine whether my views he
correct or not.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv’t
H. It; Cuylkr.

Notice to Semi-Weekly Subscribers.
The remaining Non. of this volume of

our late Semi- Weekly subscribers free
of charge, till the commencement of vol

to come from every one who desires the

Transfer of Advertisement*.
All advertisements ordered for the
Semi-Weekly will be continued in the
Weekly and the Supplemental Adverti
ser till the time expires, unless anew
arangement is made.
TO ADVERTISERS.
We invite the *pec;al attention of the bus
iness men of silicon and of all Georgia, to
the Prospectus and terms of our proposed
Georgia Citizen Advertiser,
with a circulation of 20,000 copies per month.
Advertising in Daily newspaper* may do
well tnougb lor Retail Merchants and small
shop-keepers, whose trade is confined chiefly
to town and vicinity, but tho large dealer
and Wholesale Merchant, who desires to
to reach the country dealer and Planter,
will not Lc satisfied with such advertising
i.s a Daily circulation of three hundred will
give him, at home!
Nor will a City Directory or the Chart
mode'of Advertising meet the wants of the
business man. For example, Messrs. Mears
A Cos., have just gotten up a neat Directory
of Macon, with a number of showy cards of
business men, but already, since the work
went to press, many change* have occurred,
partnerships dissolved and new ones formed,
which render such a mode of Advertising
comparatively useless. Ou the system pro
posed bv us and the same ns carried out by
the Richmond Ya., Enquirer, an immense
edition of the Advertisements is issued
monthly, and circulated just where it will
tell upon the business of those whose names
apt oar therein. Every month there is a
change of tbc programme, anew advertise

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Eleventh Volume
OF THE
Weekly Georgia Citizen,
To Commence Early in April Next.
WE this day issue our Prospec
tus for the Eleventh Volume'of
the Weekly Citizen, to commence
early in April, ensuing.
The paper will be of the same size
as tit present, but will he materially
modified and improved, in several
particulars. A limited number of
Advertisements, only, will appear in
this edition, so as to give more room
for reading matter, of use in the
ilv circle and at the fire-side of the
Southern Homestead.
The Proprietor flatters himself
that a life-time experience in tho
profession of Journalism, fifteen
years of which have passed in Geo.,
has given him the necessary qualifi
cations for the work, lie will only
say, therefore, here, it is our purpose
to make the citizen, in all respects,
a first class
I'M fAELY JIM,
and worthy of a liberal patronage
from the whole section of the Con
federacy. Its Jjiterary and Home
Department will be specially in
charge of the Proprietor, who will
aim to make it a pleasant and useful
visitor to the family circle, in all
matters pertaining to domestic econ
my, while it will he the repertory of
refined thought and a chaste Miscel
laneous Literature, suited to the
taste of the most cultivated.
The POLITICAL DEPART
i MENT will be conducted by a gen
| tleman well* versed in the political
history of tho country, and as true
as steel to the Institutions of the
South, llis motto will be,
EQUALITY IN THE UNION
OR
iniEEE m of ill mm.
! The Political Department will
i not however partake of that in-
I tensely partisan character, which can
1 sec nothing good or worthy of sup
! port, save it comes from the author
ity of certain Party Leaders and
Party Conventions, but will be the
learle-s exponent of those sound
constitutional principles which form
ed the basis ofour Republic in its ear
. Her days of-prosperity and renown.
; ‘fhe Paper will be American in its
tone and impulser, but liberal to all
opinions which do not sap the foun
dation of our civil and religions lib
erty.
it will oppose the modern dogma
of Squatter Sovereignty and Territo
rial Legislation against property, to
the “bitter end,” and give no quar
ter to the politicians who place them
selves on any such insidious platform.
It will equally oppose the extremes
of sectionalism, North and South,
and labor for National Peace and
Union so long as there is any hope
of either blessing, but will not he
the advocate of’ the perpetuity of
j this Confederacy, at any price, or at
’ the expense of the most sacred
, rights of its co-equal sovereign
i members.
For the development of the re
sources of the State and tho South,
the citizen will ever be found labor
’ ing, believing that the best way for
j a people to enforce the respect, of
I their'enomies, is to place themselves
I in a position to command respect.,
by virtue of their advancement in
’ all the industial pursuits of Agricul
ture, Manufacturers and Mechanic
Arts, that constitute the true
strength and greatness of a com
monwealth.
With a view of giving a larger
amount of reading matter, the pro
prietor intends to issue an Adverti
sing Supplement, which will admit
of greater display to the favor of
J our customers and give a wider eir
j dilation to the business notices of
merchants and traders. <)t this ad
vertising sheet we shall issue about
20000 Copies Monthly
OR
0000 Copies'Weekly,
at such a rate of charge as must ne
ecssarily prove attractive to the bus
inessmen of Mac-on and Ga.—tor our
design will embrace a system that
will extend its ramifications into
every nook and corner of the State.
OUR TERMS.
The CASH system will be adopt
ed in every Department *>t our Office,
and wc hope to be able to prove that
this is best both tor subscribers and
proprietor. The price of the W eek
ly Citizen, will he 62 50 in advance.

For “he Advertiser alone, ... 50

Abolitionists Caught.
A negro man was brought to jail in*
this place one day last week, who wa>
travelling towards a free S'ate under a
forged pass Tie said he belonged to a
Mr. Ramsey, of Rome Ga., and (hat one
l)r. Clark, of Walker Cos., had given
him a pass to aid him in getting to a free
j State. Now, this Dr. Clark is a rascal
: ly. old, mongrel of white man and negro
who has long been attempting to palm
i himself upon the community as an Indian
Doctor , and has frequently been indicted
in Walker County on charges of hog
stealing, trading with negroes &e.
, On Tuesday last the old black rascal
came to llinggold, when he was imme
diately arrested upon a warrant from
Judge Lynch. He was taken to the jail
door brought; face to face with his colored
accuser, who faced hi min all he had said
before. Whereupon the portly dignified
Doctor manifested his profound disgust
and indigntaion in a series or threaten
ing gyrations vituperative expressions,
that were truly amusing to the spectator.
After allowing him to relieve him-eif by
giving full vent to his feelings, he was es
coiled to the thicket by order of Judge
Lynch, where he acknowledged his
giance to the “ stars aid stripes,” the
former of which he saw, and the latter of
which he very sensibly felt.
After he had been honored with a hun
dred or so, he was released, and went on
his way rejoicing—as w r ell he might—
that the penalty tor his offence was a
hickory withe instead cf a rope.—Ring

SPECIAL SOTICES.
It is a commox observation that there are more suf
ferers from debility, among Americans, than can I*
obvious. We take too little exercise’, and forgot the
wants of the body in the absorbing pursuits of busi
ness. In all such eases, ordinary medicines can do
little good. What is required is just such a tonic
and invigorator as 1 >r. J. 110. tetter lias given to
the world, in his CELEBRATED “BITTEB.” The
weak and nervous denizen of the counting-house,
tiie exhuuste 1 toiler upon the sh op-boar j, and the
prostrated student of die midnight lamp, have found
a wonderful regenerator in the “Bitters,” and pre
fer it to more pretentious, but less efficacious inedi
cines. But it should not 1 e forgotten that the agent
which is so magical in its influence upon a frame
which is merely debilitated, is equalfv powerful in
assisting nature ‘to expel the most terrible forms
of disease. Who will not give it a trial ?
