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. ‘John, what is a gentleman?” ‘Stub-toe boots, long tail coat, and high shirt collar.’ ‘What is the chief end of a gen tleman ?’ ‘JI is coat tail.’ ‘What is the work of a gentle man V ‘To borrow money, to eat a large dinner, to go to the opera, and pe- • tition for an qflicc.’ ‘What is a gentleman’s first duty towards himself?’ ‘To buy a pair of plaid pantaloons, and to raise a huge pair of whis kers.’ 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. A. STROUP, Foreman. R. M. YOUNG, J). IL HODGE. W. J. P. RUSSELL, M. KIMBROUGH, E. R.

We now continue its use with 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.

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.
