rpHE MERITS OF THIS
i Plow over others, for
the cultivation of both Cot-
ton and Corn arc many, but I shall mention
only its leading merits: With four wings,
two small and two large, it can be eonverted
Into Seven different Plows, all of which are
very necessary for tho cultivation of dif
ferent oropi. And another very important
feature is durability. A Plow completed
willlaata man from two to five years, accord
ing to the soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agenoy will soon be established in Rome,
and then planters will be invited to call and

of McGuire A Pinson, where he is prepared
to exccuto all operations appertaining to Don-
tistry, in the most approved manner.
He would also call the particular attention
of thoeo in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of teeth, set on gold plate; far
beauty, strength and life-like appeaeanoc,
they are not surpassed. As an impression has
boon mode that my prices for dental opera
tions are higher than tho usual run of Den
tists, I beg leave to say that they are tho same
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work my char
ges are as follows:
Entire Sets Upper and Lower frOm$I00 to $250
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 26 each.
Partial Sets in proportion tp the above.
As I am well poitod in all the late improve

John Bell’s Record'on Slavery.
In a former number, we offered some
reflections upon the sutyect ofplatforjns^
showing the thie meaning of fho term,
and maintaining that'for all practical
jurpoee the nominee of the Union par-
by stood pledged to the country, ill tho
event of nis election, to administer the
oyerhmeht upon a fine of policy that
as already been specially and distinct
ly marked out—that he is as truly .up
on a platform, and as much, bdftnd to
observe its principles; as any candidate
that has ever been presented to the
American people, The record of his
public service, we contended, was his
S lntform, and his letter of acceptance
istinctly pledged him to adhere to it
in all the contingencies of the future.
In the conclusion of the article refer
red to, we promised, on another day, to
examine the record as it stands upon
the journals of Congress, and to array
the truth against certain slanders that
have been vaguely and without specifi
cation, uttered against Mr. Bell by the
subservient tools of his policical enemies.
We proposed to test his fidelity to south
ern institutions bv a rehearsal of bis acts,
and by them to let the people judge
whether or not he is entitled to their
oonfidenco and support.
1 t|.vere impossible, in the short space of
an editorol article, to review tne en
tire record of Mr. Bell on the subject of
slavery, running, as it does, through a
long series of years. We would state
generally, however, and without the
slightest hesitation, that his • enemies
cannot point to a single vote in all
that record that is hostile to the inter
ests of his section* Wo challenge them
to the task. Ko man, North or South,
lias a better, purer record. Why, then,
lias ho been suspected and denounced
as unsound, ana not to be trusted! We
will give the reason in a few words:
simply because it has been the policy of
of the Democratic party of the South,
for many year past, to set up.j. standard
of their own, by which all men are to
be judged for the time being, ftnd to be
applauded or denounced according as
they conform to such arbitrary test.—
Clay, Taylor. Toombs, Stephens and a
host of others, Southern men and slave
holders, were all unsound in their day,
simply for the reason that they repudi
ated this standard and bad the iudep«
dence to think for themselves. In 1854
the Kansas bill was set up as a stand
ard by this same party, and because Mr.
Bell ropudiatedjand voted against it as
an insiduous swindle a Grecian Horse
that contained within itself tffematerr
nls for the overthrow of the rights
the South, he was straightway set down
os untrue to hisseotion and for no oth
er cause the blood hounds of party
have pursued liis footsteeps from that
day to this. This is the true history of
the case, and the cry is stilt kept up in
spite of the fact that this very Kansas
bill lias proved just what Mr. Bell said
it was, and is now universally denounc
ed throughout the South by the Dcmor
cats themselves: nay, rather than sub
mit to its doctrines, the Southern De
mocracy have absolutely abandoned]
thoir own national organization and set|
up for tliemselve
As to the rest of Mr. Bell’s course i:
Congress, on the slavery question, -w
cannot do better than copy from
able artiole, which wo find in the
Goorgir Citizen, over the signature
“Lowndes.” It is in Answer to an allegar
tion of the Telegraph, that Mr. Bell had
always “been regarded with peculiar
suspicion by Soutnern Bights men.”—
Tho writer says:
“Was John Bell regarded with ‘pecu
liar suspicion’ by Southern men when he
in 1835 voted with Glascock, of Georgia
for which vote Glascock received forty
two of sixty-two thousand votes in “
la? Was it for that, Mr. Clisby, yo>
nd fault with John Bell? Was Join
Bell ’regarded with peculiar suspicion,
when he stood by Georgia in the T
tial contest of 1836, ana aided in
ingthe vote of Tennessee with Georgia foi
Judge White’ against the Black ”
of Kraderhook ? Did the Squth rei
John Bell with ’peculiar suspicion,’
when he, in 1837, voted with a united
South for Mr. Patton’s resolution ? Did
the South regard John Bell with ‘peculiar
suspicion’ when he, in 1838, voted for the
Atherton.'resolution which was held in
Georgia as - Southern Democratic d6o-|
trine, then? Did the Sonth r<
John Bell With 'peculiar suspii
when he; in 1845, voted against
Wilmet ProvUo as offered T>y
Missouri]
line to the Pacific, and then, afterwards.
Voted for the Ciayton Compromise ini
1848? When he voted nve distinct
times against the Wiimot ProvUo, and
Stephen A. Douglas, as many timM, for
the Wiimot ProvUo in 1850? Did'the
South regard John Bell with
nnaninmn* whan ATI ttlA Aft.ll nl
suspicion* when on the. 6th of June, 1
50, he said the 'Constitution carried |
slavery in the Territories and there;
tected it as other nropcrttL and that—“■—
er the dag floated whether on
or sea,.H was entitled to protetion Croml
tho Government? Did the South re*I
gard Jphn Bell with’peouliar suspicion* r
when be in 1850, voted for Cpl. Jeffei
ponDwis’resolutions? DidthoSoutJ
regard John Belltwith •peculiar suspi.
oicnf whenhe voted for .the New Mexi-1
ca bill, and thereby excluded the Te!*|

In 1854, spoke and voted against that
’wretched.and cursed thingofuncertain-
toesand umn^ing generalities’—the
Kansas btll-the We bill Jefferson
Davis repudiated, on the Mnv
1860—the same hill Henry A.
Virginia repudiates—the same'bill i
Telegraph, that the oeoeders at Charli
ton . repudiated—the same bill repudk
ed by Gov. Cobb and his friends in Geor
gia, and still advocated and defendechby
the Telegraph, Judge Douglas and Lis
friends in Georgia! I think the South
ought to regard John Bell withpeculiar

Among the more prominent journals
that have deolared for the nominations
made in Balthnore, we may name that
veteran newspaper, the Washington Na
tionalIntelligencer.
In its bsueef the Othinst., alluding
to the letter of acceptance written by
Mr. Bell, the Intelligencer takes occa
sion to soy what follows: < '
Having already stated some of the
groundBon which we shall give to thU
cause and its candidates our hearty and
unhesitating support we have only to
add, for the present, that we shall (Kke
an early occasion to define with more
particularity the nature of its claims
npon the confidence of our countrymen
as in the approaching canvass. we shall
doubtless find frequent occasion to en
force them. When the'present chaotio
state ofthe politioaldementsshall bave
assumed a definite form in the several
programmes announced by each and all
of the parties competing for tho supre
macy, it will be easy to Institute a com
parison between their respective pre
tensions for the supp&t of the people.
And we therefore propose at .an* early
day, in such a review of'“parties ana
their principles,” to subjeot the avowed
motives, policy, and objects of each to a
candid analysis, assured as ivo, are .that
the cause which we advocate has noth
ing to fear, but much to hope, from any
appeal addressed to tho impartial judg
ment of the people,
