the earnest yearning of patriotic hearts
to cleanse and purify the sanc
tuary of freedom from the corrupting in
fluences which, through indolent apathy
in the people, and fierce, ungodly thirst for
public plunder in their leaders, have been
permitted to creep into and to defile its sa
cred precincts, and which now threaten to
destroy the very temple itself. No man
or men o*n be said to manage this party.
It is the people’s party, and he who at
tempts to control or mislead it tor selfish
or sinister purposes, will himself be crushed
beneath its mighty tread. Its power and
its strength are derived from the unity of
will the concord of sentiment, with which
a great people are pressing onward to re
store to our Government the pristine pu
rity of its free institutions, to “crush out”
the insidious enemies who are sapping its
foundations, and to protect it forever from
danger or from menace of foreign hostility
or domestic treason.
We are upon the eve of a crisis in the
affairs of our country more ominous, more
terrible, more darkly dangerous, than any
through which we have yet passed. Drend
ful sectionalism stalks fearlessly abroad.
The fell demon of Abolitionism insolently
rears its hideous front, and a fierce, re
tentlesa spirit of disunion rises unrebuked.
The wily minions, the passive subjects of
• foreign despot, boldly proclaim that “de
mocracy is a mischievous dream wherever
the Catholic Church does not predomi
nate, ’ that “liberty of conscience is a most
pestilential error," that “liberty ot opinion
is a pest of all others to be dreaded in the
State,” and “that liberty of the press is the
worst evil, ever sufficiently to be dreaded
•nd detested.” Organized factions of rude,
ignorant, reckless foreigners imprudent as
pire, by force and arms necessary, to con
troll our elections and impress upon our
government policy their own wildly licen
tious and untried theories. The eld po
litical organization are dead or else corrupt
and depraved beyond trust or tolerance.
Rent ami shivered with intestine fends,
they have long since lost their nationality
and become more miserable tactions, inca
pable of aught but harm. Ihe country
has become distracted by the violent dis
sensions of this multitude ot tactions.—
Throughout its length and breadth politi
cal affairs are in direct confusion. The
very pillows of the Republic are tottering,
and the spirit-voices of its venerated foun
ders call in solemn tones upon their sons to
rallv to the rescue of the noble fabric which
was reared by their patriot hands and ce
mented by their martyred blood. They
do not call in vain. The watch-fires of'76
have been smouldering, but were never ex
tinguished. They have been rekindled in
the Councils of the American party, and
their general flame is spreading from breast
to breast among the native-born through
out all the land.
More than once before, in a circle some
what similar, but not so fearful as the pre
sent, when the black clouds of abolition
ism and disunion shrouded the capitol of
onr nation, when the whole people were
filled with painful anxiety, and watched
with terrible suspense the awful progress
of that, portentous storm threatening de
vastation to public prosperity and public
peace, when the representatives of the
people in Congress, with stern solemnity,
hourly apprehended an open and violent
rupture in the very halls of legislation
when the heads of the wisest and best
were bowed with heavy grief for the dan
gers which surrounded and menaced their
beloved Union, when the whole country
stood aghast and almost paralized with ter
ror, t/ien it was the noble-minded, the god
like leaders, the Clays and the Webster?,
&c., the bright relics of the glorious states
manship ot an age now past, who, forget
ting every paltry party feeling, casting
away from them all personal animosities
•nd for mere political predilections, stood
up together around the sacred altar of our
freedom, and, with hearts glowing with
patriotic fervor, with voices always sweetly
charming to the ears of the multitude, and
with words of wisdom which sank deep in
to the minds of their countrymen, dispell
ed the lowering clouds, arrested the threat
ening storm, and once more gave peace
•nd quiet and happiness to a whole nation.
But unless God in his own great
goodness should raise up among this peo
ple some chosen instrument of his myste
rious providence, endowed with the hea
ven-born ability to succor the nation in its
greatest need and to preserve the institu
tions of our Union in the hour of direct
danger, there is none among those who fill
the high places of power and trust to whom
we can look with any confidence or any
hope to avert the impending evil and to
restore peace to a distracted country. It
is to the people, to the native-born, to the
“sons of patriotic sires,” that we must now
turn for safety. They and they alone,
guided by the wise counsels, the glorious
exx m>ie, aod the prophetic admonitions of
th* founder-of our Republic, are equal to
the task of quieting sectional agitation, of
banishing from our National Legislature
that miserable source of discord and di
sens]ou, the slavery question, and of es
tAbliihing firmly and beyond all future
danger American nationality, Protestant
civilization, and the perpetuity of our glo
rious Union —the first, the corner-stone
upon which rest all our hopes for the con
tinuance of the other two; the second, the
guarantee of our unceasing prosperity and
progress as a people; the last, the only
ark of safety for the preservation of the
free institutions of an independent repub
lic.
This is the mission of the American
party, a cause worthy of the noblest en
thusiasm, the most earnest sleepless vigi
lance of our countrymen. They areawa
kening their duty. Like the high-hearted
patriots who forgot their former party
strifes and muted their voices and their en
ergies to save the Union in 1850, the na
tive-born, from Maine to Georgia, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, have laid aside all
old political distinctions, and are rapidly
planting themselves firmly upon the Ame
rican platform and advocating the princi
ples of the American party, with full con
fidence that this party and its principles
are their only hope for safety.
It is the Union party. It calls upon
the native-born Americans to rally to its
support to protect the Union now, and to
adopt measures for the future preservation
of our Constitutional liberty from the dan
ger by which it is threatened, It calls up
on the people to forbid and to arrest the
further agitation of the slavery question in
our National Legislature, to exclude from
•11 offices of trust and power those who
hold an object allegiance and implicit obe
dience to a foreign power, and whose every
interest is antagonistic to republican prin
cpiles, and to take wise precautionary mea
sures, in obedience to the solemn admoni
tion of the Washington, to pro
tect the institutions of the country from
the baneful effects of an already powerful
•nd rapidly increasing foreign influence.

PRESENTMENTS
OF THE «H»«B JIBV.
We, the Grand Jurors, selected and sworn
for the September Term of the Superior
Court of Gordon County, 1855, in bringing
our business to a close, beg leave to re
spectfully submit the following General
Presentments:
We have, by Committees, examined the
offices, and find them neatly and correctly
kept. The Records of the Clerks of the
Superior, Inferior and Ordinaries' books are
in a good state of preservation, and con
ducted in a correct and neat manner. Wo
find the Treasurer's books correctly and
neatly kept, and proper vouchers for all
amounts of money that has been paid out.
We recommend a better book to be sup
plied him by the proper authorities.
Ain't, received since last Court, is *506 60
Ain’t, paid out for the same length
of time, is 480 60
Treasurer’s Commission, is . . 24 60
Amount on hand, is ... . 1 82
Ain't of. orders on hand in Treas-
ury unpaid, is ... . 701 85
We find the Jail in good order, and kept
neatly and cleanly, and safe, and the pris
oners are supported with wholesome food.
The Court House needs some repairs, es
pecially the window-blinds, and we recom
mend the Inferior Court to have the same
attended to.
The fencing around the Court House,
which we understand has been let out
some twelve months ago, is still uncom
pleted. and we recommend that the Court
have it finished as soon as practicable.
We find from the Tax Receiver’s Books,
582 children returned, whom we believe
to be entitled to the benefit of the Poor
School Fund.
We recommend that the Inferior Court
purchase a book-case for the preservation
of the Ordinary’s books.
We recommend the Inferior Court to no
tify the Comptroller General not to de
mand a final settlement of the Tax Col
lector until after the March Term of the
Superiar Court of Gordon County, so as to
allow him time to bring in the insolvent
list.
By Committee we have examined the
action of the Inferior Court, and find the
following facts:
Amount, of County Liabilities, aside from
the Treasurer’s Report, $5335 00, to wit:
One order passed 15th Sept., 1854, by their
honors Win. P. Fain, D. G. King and G-
F. Swagerty, authorizing his honor Wni.
P. Fain, to negotiate with J. P. King, of
Augusta, for S3OOO, upon condition that
the principal be refunded in two years, and
the interest be paid semi-annually. The
money was obtained to assist W. Lawson in
building a Bridge across the Oostanaula
River, near Calhoun; and to secure the
payment of said money to the Court, we
find their honors have a Mortgage upon
eighty acres of land, on Lot No. 191, 14thi
District aud 3d Section, as well as the
Bridge on eaid Lot, with all the appurten
ances thereof belonging. We have had an
interview with the Inferior Court, and
learn from them that after they had ad
vanced the above stated amount and re
ceived the Mortgage, there were other lia
bilities come up against the property, of
which the Court was not apprized at the
time of entering upon this agreement.—
Said claims brought the land to sale, and
to make the Mortgage valid, they saw prop
er to bid in the land at an additional sum
of $2,335 00, which is a county liability.
Upon examination of the public records,
we find considerable difficulty in arriving
at a safe conclusion in regard to this mat
ter, on account of conflicting claims to the
same lot of land by other persons. We
find the Mortgage deed to Southern half of
said Lot, No. 191, in the Southern corner,
a recorded deed to Thomas Harkin-., for
. six acres. Also, a recorded dee-1 to J. C.
Longstreet, for fourteen acres of c.ame Lot,
in Southern part. Also, $l2O subscribed
by County men, for which they have free
ticket? to cross said Bridge—ail of which
claims are predicated on a quit claim title
from O. H. Kenan to W. Lewson, for the
West half of Lot No. 191.
We would recommend a rigid enforce
ment of the Patrol Laws.
We request that our next Senator and
Representatives use their influence to bring
about the sale of the W. & A. Rail Road,
provided it can be done consistent with
the interest of the State. Also, we recom
mend, that they use their influence to re
peal the Militia Law now in force in this
State.
The Roads we find in tolerable condition
with some exceptions, and we recommend
the Inferior Court to have them repaired
where it is necessary. Also, we recom
mend, that the Bridge over the Oothcaloga
Creek be repaired by the person who took
the contract.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Trippe, and Solicitor Gen'l. J. J. Word,
we would extend to them our sincere
thanks, for their kindness and courtesy to
this body.

Unexpectedly, after an illness of a few
days, on the 4th instant, Mrs. Elizabeth
M. Incurs, wife of Rev. Daniel Ingles, aged
55 years. For more than twenty-five
years, she had been a consistent member
of the Presbyterian Church, and in her
death, her family has experienced an irre
parable loss —her servants an indulgent
mistress —her children a most’aflectionate
mother, and her husband an intelligent
companion a true help-meet. She fully
exemplified the following portrait of agood
wife, drawn by the hand of a most skillful
master:
“She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue is the law of kindness.”
“She looket.h well to the ways of her
household, and eateth not the bread of
idleness.”
“Her children arise up, and cal! her
blessed; her husband also, and they prats

great satisfaction. We have sold more of
the Pain Killer than we ever have since or
before of any other medicine in the same
length of time; and we do not hesitate to say
that it has given better satisfaction to the
purchaser than any other article we have ev
er sold. Hurry of business ha? prevented
our sending Fertifieates, but we have In our
vicinity from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand living witnesses who testify to their
neighbors, dav bv day, of th? value of Davis’
Pein Killer; mid thus the eircriatio:: of its
influence is being constantly enlarged.
Keep alaige supply in the West, it;- just
su h a medicine ns the people want, and they
have already found out that they can cure
the Fever ami Ague for 25 cents. The more
we sell, the better we are convinced tlnii
Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer will take
place and throw out of use more 'han two
thirds of the nostrums now S'di'.-g S" profuse

to be posse-sed of the power ofmagh. beyond

reii 'ves almost every pain that human flesh
is heir to, and in many cases effects an insiaat
cure.
I became your agent without feeling any
interest in the medicine, but on trial 1 soon
became very much interested, upon seeing
the happy effect it had upon many per sons.
; The increased sides, in this State are truly
astonishing. I might have collected any
number of certificates of it- great power in
relieving pain, if I had attended to it at the
time the cures came under my observation.
The least I can say for the Pain Killer is,
that it fully answers the purpose for which
it is recommended. A. W. HATCH,

THIS celebrated animal, of foreign notoriety, formerly owned by the Hon. Mr. WILMOT, now in the
possession of the Joint Stock Company in Georgia; to wit; Messrs. Johnson, Cobb, Stephens, Toombs & Co.;
and led by Mr. Johnson in person, one of the owners, will be removed shortly to Washington City, where he will
be allowed to remain during the winter months; thereby giving the owners of high blooded Freesoil Stock, an op
portunity of crossing with the animal above named. His pedigree was so well known while in the service of Mr.
Wilmot, that it is unnecssary to offer any further inducements to owners of Freesoil Stock.
It is proper, however to state, for the benefit of those who have not scon the animal, that he is of good size,
some six feet high, and well proportioned, except a slight deficiency in the head. This deficit, however, is not so
strikingly observable until the animal brays. On his arrival in Washington City, ho will be placed under the care
of Messrs. Giddings, Hale and Seward, or their authorized Agents.
