I wish, very much, to obtain a new supply; and, therefore, address yon to respect fully ask of yon whether you have an agency for your medicine on this Conti nent, aa<l, if hot, to send mo a few dozen bottles porNorth German Lloyd steamer. For the amount, you may draw on me through Messrs. G. McKay & Co.. Bank ers, in Bremen, or if yon prefer it, I will send you tho amount of the bill in ad vance. Awaiting yuur spectfnlly, decSldtf During the present year a President and members of Congress are to be elected. Liberty must be preserved or lost The Corruptionists of the day—the Bond Rings—the ambitious enemies of free government—are artfully, persistently paving the way to the overthrow of the Federal Republic, founded by Washing ton, Jefferson and Madison, and the es tablishment of a Centralized Empire and a Dynasty in its stead. THE PEOPLE can prevent this if they will. They can retain their free dom, or they can become slaves. The destiny of this country is to be decided by the people's voles! If the Democratic parly will but stand firmly upon its time-honored platform, and erect the standard of Liberty, and honesty in the administration of the gov ernment, a glorious triumph will be achieved. Victory is within onr grasp. The enemy is giving way—is receding from his utter disregard of law and con stitutional guaranties. Now is the time for a vigorous charge upon his wavering lines. The Sun, has been sowing the good seed of truth. It lias already brought forth good fruit. We shall continue to sow the seed, and shall expect a rich harvest to be reaped in the triumph of honest principles in the next election. We trust our patrons will aid us in ex tending the circulation of The Sun. We have entered upon onr enterprise.to assist in the great work of redeeming the country from the control of robbers, tyrants and money-changers, who are infesting the temple of Liberty. Their tables must be overturned and public opinion must scourge them from the public presence, We shall give all the news from the State Capital—proceedings of the Legis lature-decisions of the Supreme Court, and all important news and events con nected with the State Government; and shall endeavor to make The Sun a welcome family visitor. Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, the Editor-in-chief, has specially arranged his business so as to devote almost his entire time to the political department of The Sun, daring the coming spring and summer, and to the end of the Presiden tial election.

The Act to Create a County Court for each County. The Legislature, at its lute session, passed an act to create a County Court for each county in the State (with a few ex ceptions.) The County Jndge must be a resident of the county one year before appoint ment, and be twenty-five years old, and must be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate ; term of office four years, to continue till his successor is appointed and qualified. His salary, in each county, is to be fixed by the Grand Jury at the Spring Term of the Superior Court, which shall be levied by the Or dinary, to be collected with other taxes. It is not necessary that the Judge should be a lawyer. The Court shall have jurisdiction in all civil cases, matters of contract and of tort, (except where, by the Constitution, exclusive jurisdiction is given to the Super, or Courts), where the principal sum in cases of contract, and the damage claimed in cases of tort, does not exceed one hundred dollars—but where the judicate upon the same; unless the party accused shall, in writing, demand an indictment by a Grand Jury. In that case, the Jndge shall require good bond and security. If no such bond and security is given, then the Judge shall commit to jail for safe keeping. If an indictment is found by said Grand Jury, the Judge of the Superior Court may, if he chooses so to do, order said indict ment to be returned, with all the papers, to the County Judge, to be disposed of by him after ten days’ notice to the party accused and the prosecutor. If parties accused shall demand a jury to try their case, instead of the Connty Judge, then the case shall be postponed until a jury can be summoned for such trial. The costs in this court shall be assessed as follows : In all cases begun but not tried, $2 shall be paid (by the party ad judged liable) to the County Judge, and tho same sum to the bailiff—in all cases tried by the County Judge, or by him and a; ivy, the costs to be paid him by the party Mid liable shall be $3, and the snm of i'-i to the bailiff; said bailiff shall, principal so claimed, or damage, is morej however, when he shall snmmon a jury, than fifty dollars, there may be an appeal to the Superior Court. Any person de siring to bring his claim within, the jur isdiction of the County Judge, may do so by remitting, or releasing, so much of his claim as will bring it within the same. The Judge shall have jurisdiction over his county, and may hold his courts at the court-house, or any other place in said county. All suits in civil matters shall be com menced by a summons, to be issued and signed by the Judge, stating the nature of plaintiff’s demand, as in the summons of Magistrates, and commanding the de fendant to appear at a certain time and place in the county, which shall be the trial or judgment term. The case may be continued for the same ground and on same terms as in the Superior Courts, for a period not exceeding ten days. Said summons shall bear date 15 days before trial, and be served 10 days before the same time, if the principal sum or damage does not exceed fifty dollars; and shall bear date 20 days before said term of judgment, and be served 15 days before the same, if the principal sum or damage exceeds fifty dollars, and is not more than one Inuadrod. dollars. , or .serve subpoenas for witnesses, have for eaeh juror 20 cents, and each subpoena 10 cents. All of the costs assessed for • the County Judge shall be paid over by him to the County Treasurer as fast as received,and an account given of the same at each term of the court to the grand jnry* If said CountyJndge shall use any of said costs, or fail to tarn over the same, he shall be liable, criminally. All sales to be made by the Bailiff of the Connty Judge shall be at the Court House of the county, or at a Militia Court.

If either party is dissatisfied with the judgment of the County Jadge, and the principal sum, or damage, claimed, ex ceeds fifty dollars, lie may enter an appeal to the Superior Court within four days, and the Judge shall transmit the same, and all papers connected with the case, to the Clerk of the Superior Court, at least five days before the next term. Where the principal sum does not exceed fifty dollars, either party may sue out a cer tiorari, which may be disposed of by the Judge of the Superior Court in vacation, or at the regular term. An execution shall be issued by the County Judge as soon as judg ment is entered, unless an appeal is taken or ca-tiorari sued out. The County Judge shall have power to procure testimony from witnesses in his county, to compel the production of pa pers and procure testimony by inter rogatories and commission, as Judges of the Superior Courts. The Judge shall have jurisdiction to hear, and determine all applications for evictions of intruders, tenants holding over, or the partition of personal prop erty, for the trial of possessory warrants, to issue and dispose of distress warrants —to issne attachments, garnishments, to foreclose mortgages of personal proper ty liens, to attest deeds and other con tracts for registry, to administer oaths of all sorts, to exercise the same power as was given to the officer known as the County Judge, by the act of 1865 and 1866, in relation to attesting, approving, enforcing, and setting aside Court con tracts, as described in Irwin’s Code. The costs in civil cases shall be the same as injustices’ Courts, and for other matters the fees and costs shall be the same as are provided in Section 313 of Irwin’s Code, and if no provision is made under said section, then such fees and costs as shall be assessed for his services by a Judge of the Superior Court. Said County Judges shall also have ju risdiction and authority as Justices of the Peace, to issue criminal warrants against all persons accused of crimes and misde meanors. In cases which appear to be felonies, they shall commit the party to jail for safe keeping, unless the case be bailable by a Justice of the Peace, when the accused may, upon complying with the law, be bound over to appear before the proper court. In cases which do not appear to be felonies, the County Judges shall have full authority to hear, de termine, sentence,. ■ decide and ad the enunty, to his own Bailiff, or any lawful Constable of the county. The several County Judges shall keep their offices, and all papers and other things belonging thereto, at the connty site, and at the Court House, unless im practicable from any cause, and notice of where said office is located shall be given by publication for the space of two weeks in a public gazette, having general circu lation in the respective counties, or by notice of the same, at three or more of ' he most public places in the county, in the discretion of the County Judge. That said offices shall be kept open every day, except Sundays, and public holi days, and days and times when the County Judge is absent from the county site, holding his court at other places in t county, which in his discretion, he is allowed to do. Said County Judge shall discharge all the duties formerly devolved on the Jus tices of the Inferior Court, as to county business, except in those counties where, by local laws, other provision baa been made by the Legislature of this State. ^ This act goes into effect in each county upon the recommendation of the Grand Jnry, and not otherwise. The following counties are excepted from the operation of this law, viz : Haralson, Pickens, Pike, Cobb, Daw son, Forsyth, "White, Milton, Bulloch, Paulding, Effingham, Charlton, Mont gomery, Telfair, Clinch, Coffee, Irwin, Sumter, Wilkinson, Gilmer, Appling, Fanin, Jefferson, Colquitt, Worth, Mitchell, Emanuel, Johnson, Glasscock, Fayette, Union, Franklin, Chatham, Tattnall, Harris, Chattooga, Wilcox, Tal bot, Ware, Bartow, Cherokee, DeKalb, Banks, Pierce, Towns and Milton, being 46 in all, leaving ninety counties in which a court can be established by the Grand Juries. ity except in subordination to the Federal head. This is consolidation in its worst form, and if carried to its logical result will change free government into despot ism. The time has come when all who value the institutions established through trial and privation by the wisdom of onr ancestors, and who cherish the principles on which our government is reared, should forget minor differences of opin ion, and unite in opposing the progress of this dangerous doctrine. Many laws, tending in a greater or less degree towards centralization, have recently been enact ed. To one of these, passed by the present Congress, attention is particular ly directed. This law, in the compass of a few sections, conflicts with almost every provision of the Constitution securing State rights. In direct antagonism to the article that defines the jurisdiction 1 of the Federal judiciary, it transfers offences against the laws of a State to the control of the Federal courts. It then, in substance, enacts that the commission of snch offences, or combinations so to do, shall be deemed to be rebellion against the government of the United States. It vests in the President the discretion to determine when, according to the Congressional definition, rebellion shall exist, and em powers him to overthrow the same by suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas.corpus, and employing the land and naval forces of the United States to enforce his will in any and every State, without application from the Legislature or Governor. If this be law, the State government? have few rights remaining, and are almost useless appendages to a grand central . power. Let ns inquire whether there is any warrant for this act in the Constitution. There are some fundamental principles underlying our complex form of government not changed by any of the .amendments, which, un til recently, have been considered estab lished, and to these it is proper now to jcall attention. Tho foundation principle of our political system is the 'inherent sovereignty of the people, always mist ing by right, yet to some extent in abey ance under .the colonial government, Upon declaring independence of the mother, county State .Constitutions were formed, by which tho people vested in the States all necessry governmental powers. In order' to form a union stronger than that which existed undt r the articles of confederation, and create a government to hold intercourse with foreign powers and provide for tho com mon defence, the Constitution of tho United States was subsequently framed by delegates from the several States. That instrument reeogniz; ; State .rights in direct terms, and expressly provides that the United States shall he a~govern ment of limited powers, reserving to the States and the people all powers not therein granted to the general govern ment. A small portion of the powers already vested in tho States was taken from them and delegated to the Federal government, leaving all oth ers to remain as before. Within their legitimate sphere the several States are as free and sovereign as is the United States within its sphere. They are not subordinate, but co-ordinate, and their lawful rights cannot be taken from them by Congress or President. The reserved rights they hold are absolute and not subject to the discretion of Federal au thority. Among the rights of the citizen which the Constitution carefully guards is that of personal liberty. To secure this the military is made subordinate to the civil power. The privilege of the habeas corpus, that great writ of right, handed down to us inviolate, is not surrendered by the Constitution, but doubly secured iu terms as strong and explicit as lan guage can express. Congress has power to suspend the writ only in cases of in vasion, or rebellion against the lawful authority of the United States. In cases where Congress has the right to suspend the privileges of the habeas corpus, the discretion when, where and under what circumstances it shall be done, cannot be delegated to the President. It is a dis cretion which must be exercised by the representatives of the people of the sev- iuterfereuee in tlie^ :ercised on any pre» own limit of nsnr- answer to say that reference has been I made, although general in its terms, was intended to he applied only in a few of j :he States. An unlawful blow cannot be j inflicted on one Suite without all feeling j the wound. Whenever the reserved rights of the States are encroached upon the citizens of every State are interested, and should remonstrate without waiting the execution of impending unconstitu tional laws. Nor is it an excuse for vio lating the Constitution, that crime hfift been committed. That there have been acts of lawlessness and disorder in por tions of the South cannot be doubted. That the perpetrators of these crimes have, in some cases, been incited to deeds of violence by bad government, or in re taliation for wrongs, is no justification. They'should be arraigned, tried and pun ished in the proper legal tribunals. No good citizen should, for a moment, pal liate offences against law or shield from the consequences of guilt. The objec tion is not to the punishment of crimi nals of any grade, but to violating con stitutional principles to effect on object that can be accomplished in a legal mode. The Constitution has provided lor just such cases. To the laws of the State these offenders are amenable. Should they combine and successfully resist the local authorities in the execution of those laws, the Governor, on application to him, sends ilie military force of the State to support the civil authorities. To aid these, the Legislature may suspend the privilege of the habeas corpus within the limits of the State. Should all these means fail, the Legislature, if convened —or, when that cannot be done, the Gov ernor—may apply to the United States to send the army and navy to protect the State from domestic violence while she enforces her own laws under the suspen sion of the State’s writ of habeas corpus. POLITICS IN THE ST ATE NEW YORK. OP Governor Parker, of New Jersey, on State Itiglits. The oath of office that has been ad ministered on this occasion requires the Executive not only to support the Con stitution of the United States, but also to maintain the lawful rights of the State of New Jersey. This is his solemn duty, and he would be recreant to his trust did he silently permit infringement on her legitimate jurisdiction and rightful au thority. The question of State rights is now of much importance. Since the re bellion there is a growing disposition to ignore the political existence of the States, to treat them as subordinate to the Federal government, and to: cen tralize power in the President and Con gress. The disastrous consequences of the heresy of secession have driven un reflecting and prejudiced minds to the opposite extreme. The modem doctrine is that the States hold their powers at the will of the nation; that they have no inherent vitality, and are without author- Froiu tho.Republican, Goshen, N. Y., Jan. 11, 18Tft f Trying it On. As if long since aware of the fact that. the people had discovered his worthless ness and corruption, Grant has been cast ing about for the past two years for ways and means to secure a renomination to the office he now occupies, bnt fails to fill. The nomination once secured, bayonets and frauds would be emmgh to guarantee his continued tenure of office under the guise of a so-called c.ee ion. 1 * To secure the aid requisite to control the > elements of Isis owu. party, Grant, pith characteristic disregard of the bet ter elements of the . popular will, paid court to the office-holders, aud bj chang ing and restoring thousands of tho office- seekers iu and out c positions oi profit under Federal patronage, he has rn.tinged to keep the greater portion of Republicans in expectancy and iu a state of dependen cy upon his personal whims and interests. -During 1 all this tim>, under the pre- 1 text of rebellion, Ku-Klux and other ill- founded excuses, Grant, from time to time, has appealed to Congress for more power. They passed the infamous act of tyranny that ignores and violates the Constitution under the tide of the Nu ll} ux bill—they then pa .-.ed the Dictator bill’, which conferred autocratic and a I iso- lute power on the same Grant to declare war upon any State or number of States, to suspend the habeas corpus aud declare martial law over any State in the Union; and now, at the command of the same vain aud cowardly man, who dares not place himself before the people upon fair and equal terms against an opponent for the Presidency, it is proposed in Con gress to pass an act to authorize Federal military interference and supervision over the next Presidential election in every part of the United States. We say snch facts indicate that Grant and his immediate supporters are trying it on, to see whether the now demoral ized American people will be recalcitrant or unruly under a usurped administra tion, or under regal and despotic rulers. The latest and most bold of these movements of the usurpers is the out rage perpetrated by Grant’s soldiers in Louisiana, where on the recent assemb ling of the Legislature, known to bo anti-Grant in sentiment, the Federal sol diers seized the capitol, arrested the Gov ernor and enough of the anti-Grant mem bers of both Houses to enable the re- - - mainder to declare others entiled to their eral States, and ltstransier by them to i seats, and thus by force and arms aetu- the Executive authrity representing the crown is a surrender of the very power wrested from royalty after centuries of conflict. Vest in one man the discre tion to decide when he will suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in any part of the country; give him au thority to silence the courts and render the civil law powerless; then place the army and navy at his command to carry his mandates into execution, and you constitute a ruler clothed with kingly powers more absolute than those pos sessed by any monarch who has reigned in England since Magna Charta. All that is wanting to make such govern ment a despotism is opportunity, dispo sition, and temptation to use tlieVeapons put in his hands. No man, however great his public services or however pure his motives, should be invested with such supreme authority. If the country in one instance escape without experiencing despotic rule, it would be because the Ex ecutive did not will its exercise; but there would remain a precedent for future ac tion which, in an ambitious man desirin to perpetuate his power, would hazard the liberties of the country. Rebellion, which is not mere lawlessness or disorder, but resistance to the constituted authori ties, has a fixed legal signification. If ally invaded the State and revolutionized its government. Such a state of affairs is truly alarm ing to contemplate, and we may well be lieve Frank Blair’s warning, which told us years ago that Grant was a dangerous man, and one who would usurp and. hold on to power through’even fraud and blood. American freemen, are you prepared to accept such a man or those who sus tain him as the President or ruler of this country? are you ready to acquiesce in this usurpation of your liberties, aud this ignoring of the constitutional obligations which should bind the chief magistrate of the country? The question of retaining a man like Grant in office is one which has now passed beyond partisan bounds, and is already a question of vital interest to the liberties of the people. That they will so consider it is to be hoped by every man who values the wel fare of Ins- country, or who hates a law less usurper of power for the sake of per sonal and partisan aggrandizement. ——-t. ►•♦■4 We have heard it stated that Mr» Clews, when he first learned of the pas- _ - , „ - . „ , | sage of the Bond Bill by the Georgia Congresscandefinerebenion,andbylaw d t]mt interest would no add to or take from its constitutional ^legislature, auu w meaning, so as to make the commission ! more be paid on any of tne DuiiocK of any crime against the peace of a State i Bonds till they pould bo thoroughly in- and cognizable in the State courts a re-1 yostigated, was enraged, excessively an- bellion against the United States in or- and swore wse tliail « our army in der to draw to Congress or the President i ’ , „ ,, G , , - n „ 011 T a a warrant for the suspension of the ha- j Fl inders,” cursing the State and people beas corpus, then we hold our liberties j in unmeasured terms, and raving almost by a very frail and uncertain tenure.
