preamble and resolutions, and after some
interesting discussion, Col. Peeples
moved that they be referred to a Com
mittee.
KKMARKS OK MU RODGERS.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: —l propose to submit for
your consideration, a Preamble and
series of Resolutions, touching upon a
matter I am constrained to regard as of
great importance to the interests of jour
nalism throughout the eutire country.
In every other interest in this country
until of effort seems to be sought after
to secure the most complete success for
the ends had in view. We have vast
railway combinations controlling the
legislation, and shaping the policy of
States, and even attempting to give
direction to the affairs of the nation.—
Capital, iu itself a vast power, never
acts, save through the resistless machi
nery of combination. In a word, no
movement seeking to accomplish impor
tant results, is put in the field, until
made respectable and influential, by
the all potent agency of association.
The Tress of the country presents
the only exception to a rule so salutary,
and so largely productive of great re
sults.
It occurs to me, air, in view of tlic
recent hostile legislation of
upon the newspaper question, the re
fusal of our own Legislature to pay
even the small courtesy of referring to
a committee, a memorial from the jour
nalists of the State, seeking relief from
an onerous and an unusual law injuri
ously affecting their interests; the fre
quent intemperate and abusive attacks
made upon the Press of the whole coun
try, by prominent and influential Sena
tors,’mid members of the lower House
of Coiißres--, the time has come for the
o '
members of our noble craft throughout
the land to combine not only for their
protection, but for the far grander and
lof ier purpose of making the great
power they unquestionably posse s avail
able for the protection of constitutional
liberty from the encroachments and
usurpations of greedy and unscrupulous
power.
The father of his country, in a letter
to Mathew Carov, once said, “For my
self I entertain .a high opinion of the
utility of periodical publications. I con
sider such easy vehicles of knowledge,
more happily calculated than any other
to preserve the liberty, stimulate the
industry, and meliorate the morals ofau
enlightcued and free people.”
That our own interests may be pro
tected and promoted ; that the priceless
boon of liberty, of which we should be
the peculiar guardians, may be retained
by us, and handed down all unimpair
ed, to our children, it is important that
the vast power of the Press, now diffus
ed through a thousand channels, should
be combined into one volume of
strength and force.
To sucuro an end, at once so desir
able and so easy of attainment, and so
far reaching in its boneficcnt results, I
offer the following resolutions.
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, It has been tho custom,
the “time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary,” to allow
the free transmission, through the mails,
of printed journals in exchange with
each other, and it has also been until a
recent date, the immemorial custom in
this State to exempt from taxation, the
printing material of every newspaper;
and,
Whereas, We regard the action of
tho General Assembly of Georgia, in
levying a tax upon printing material in
this State, and that of Congress, ju re
“8 ALU 9 POPULI BUPREMA LEX ESTO.”

quiring the payment of postage on ex
changes, as invading the immunities of
the Press of tlio country, and that such
is uot promotive of the best interests of
the people, does not accord with tlio
true principles of republican govern
ment, and is adverse to the general
wclfaro of the country.
Whereas, We believe the custom
was salutary, and we hold, that the
freedom of the Press is synonymous
with the liberty of the people, and that
such acts as referred to are unsouud in
policy, in that they serve to embarrass
the Press, and deprive the people of ao
extense diffusion of news, and of a geu.
eral dissemination of useful intelligence
and
Whereas, The recent legislation of
Congress has deprived ti e Press of some
of its most valued and valuable privil
eges, which fact must be taken as a de
claration of war against the whole
“fourth estate” by that department of
the government, and that, actuated by
a principle of self-preservation, we must
unite and prepare to ’.fend from fur
ther aggression the last remaining bul
wark of a free people, a free and un
trammeled Press. And
Whereas, Believing that in “union
there is strength,” and “Where no coun
sel is the people fall, but in the multi
tude of counselors there is safety,” the
necessity of united action by the Press
of the country becomes apparent, and
as a complete remedy for existing evils,
and to oppose the further inroads of
oppression, we propose the formation of
a National Press Association for the
United States. Therefore, be it
l.'t Resolved , That the President of
this Association appoint a committee of
five members thereof, to confer with
the officers of other State Associations
and with prominent (and leading) journ
alists throughout the Union, for the
purpose of forming a National Pres-
Association
2d Resolved, That such Committee
be authorized, in behalf of this Associa
tion, to take all necessary steps for the
formation of such an Association as
above mentioned, aud that said Com
mittee be required to report the result
of their action to the President, at the
earliest practicable period, who shall
thereupon immediately call a meeting
of the Association, to consider tlic same
and appoint delegates to such National
Convention
od Resolved , That tho object ot this
movement is to promote the varied in
terests of tho whole people, the general
welfare of the country, the dissemina
tion of knowledge, to resist the encroach
ments of power, and for the preserva
tion of constitutional libert3".
4th Resolved, That we recognize the
rights, and the power of the people,
that we respect their will, aud we ear
nestly invoke their aid and encourage
ment to the efforts of the Press to pre
serve constitutional government and
civil liberty.
A French gentleman learning En
glish to some purpose, replied thus to
the salutatioua:
“How do you do, monsieur ?”
“Do vat?”
“How do you find yourself?”
“I never loses myself?”
“How do you feel ?”
“Smooth; you just feel me.”
“Good morning mousieur !”
“Good ! No, it's a bad odc ; it’s vet
and nasty.”
A Cincinnati man disappointed in
not securing a mail agency, says he
made a mistake in not joining Mosb) s
guerilla gang at the breaking out of the
war. There are more in tho same fix,
if they bad the courage to acknowledge
the truth.
■. m -
Pickpockets do not enjoy life in Cal
ifornia. An old “bull whacker” felt a
strange hand in his pocket there recent
ly, and, pulling his penknife, with a
blade that weighed a pound, cut off the
man's hand at the wrist and threw it
after him, with the advice to “put it in
whiskey where it would keep.”
Don’t Kell lily lailicr Rum.
Don't soil another drink, please!
He’s reeling already yeu see,
And I fear when lie comes home to-night,
He'll beat, my poor mother and me ;
She’s waiting in darkness mid cold.
And dreading to hear him come ;
He treats us so bad when lie’s drunk—
Oh! don’t sell him any more nun.
1 heard my mother praying last night—
Rho thought l was qnito seund asleep ;
She prayed fion her husband to save,
His soul from temptation to keep.
She cried like her poor heart would break;
So trying to comfort her some,
I told her I'd bog you to-day
Not to soil father any more rum.
Why don’t you have something to sell
That won’t make people so sad ;
That will not make dear mother grieve,
And kind father cruel and Dad 1
Ah, me! it is hard, and I see
• You are angry because I have come :
Forgive a poor, sad little girl,
And don’t sell her father rum !
ENJOY TIIE PRESENT.
It conduces much to our content if
we pass by those things which happen
to our trouble, a:.d cousider what is
pleasing and prosperous, that by the
representation of the better the worse
may be blotted out. If I be overthrown
in my suit at. Jay, yet ifiy horse is left
mo still and my land; or I have a virtu
ous wife, or hopeful children, or kind
friends, or good hopes. If I have lost
one child, it may be I have two or three
still left me. Enjoy the present, what
soever it may be. and be not solicitous
for the future ; for if you take your foot
from the present standing, and thrust
it forward to to-morow’s event, you
are in a restless condition; it is like
refusing to quench your present thirst
by fearing you will want drink the
next day. If to morrow you should
want, your sorrow would come timo
enough, though you do not hasten it;
let your trouble tarry till its own day
comes. Enjoy the blessings of this day
if God sends them, and the evils of it
bear patiently and sweetly, for this day
is ours. We are dead to yesterday, and
not yet born 1o the morrow. Exchange.

The Sign* of IVliMlne*4* in Dogs.
The British Medical Journal calls atten
tion to the measures recommended bytho
| Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux, fof the
1 better protection of people against the
dangersof hydrophobia. It is well known
that the madness of dogs has a period
which is premonitory and harmless. If
these periods wero generally known, the
dogs could be put out of the way bofore
they became dangerous. On this sub
ject tlio Council of Hygiene has issued |
the following instructions :
A short time, sometimes two days,
after madness has seized a dog, it crc- i
stes symptoms in the animal which it \
is indispensiblc to recognize.
1. There is agitation and restlessness, !
and the dog turns himself continually (
in his kennel. If he be at liberty, he j
goes and comes, and seems to bo seek
ing something; then he remains motion
less, as if waiting; then ho starts, and
bites the air, as if he would catch a fly,
and dashes himself howling and barking
against tlio wall. The voice of his
master dissipates these hallucinations ;
the dog obeys, but slowly, with hesita
tion, as if with regret.
2. Ho does not try to bite; he is
gentle, even affectionate, and he eats
and drinks, but gnaws bis litter, ends
of curtains, the padding of cushions, the
coverlids of tho beds, carpets, etcu
3. By the movement of his paws about
the sides of his open meuth, one might
think he was trying to free his throat
from a bone.
4. Ilis voice undergoes such a change
that it is impossible not to be struck
by it.
5. The dog begius to fight with other
dogs. This is a decidedly characteristic
sign, if the dog be generally peaceful.
The three symptoms last mentioned
indicate an advanced period of the dis
ease, and that the dog may become dan
gerous at any moment, if immediate
measures are not taken. It is best to
chain him up at once, or, better still, to
kill him. The Boston Medical and Sur
gical Journal suggests that this advice
be inserted at least once a year in the
pubi c papers. It would seem partic
ularly desirable and practicable that
these rules should be printed on the
back of the notices and receipts for dog
taxes. These excellent measures ought
to be generally adopted.
A Feeling: Tribute.
A Philadelphia editor thus relieves
his mind on a subject familiar to all
newspaper offices—the inevitable Pub.
Doc.: “We owe our thanks to .Judge
Kelley for the latest Patent Office re
ports. We already have sixteen hun
dred of these interesting volumes in our
little library, but they have been read
and re-read so many times that we know
every page of them by heart. This new
volume came opportunely and grate
fully on Christmas morning, aud that
night we gathered our little family
around the fire and road it through to
them. The effeoting tale entitled 'lm
provement iu Monkey Wrenches,’ seem
ed to touch every heart, and when we
came to the climax of the little story
about ‘Reversible Pic-boards,’ there was
not a dry eye between the front door
aDd the stable. During the rending of
the pitoous narrative entitled ‘Gum
Washers for Carriage Axles,’ the wholo
family gav c expression to boisterous
emotion, and the hired girl was so ex
cited that she lost her presence of mind,
and went around to her mother’s inad
vertently with six pounds of sugar and
a butter kettle full of flour, and camo
home at midnight intoxicated. We
jan never sufficiently thank Judge Kel
ley for the innocent enjoyment thus
furnished u. The memory of that
happy evening will linger in our minds
very much longer than that hired girl
ever lingers when she lights on a lot of
substance which she thinks will suit
the constitution of her aged parents.”

Colors for Druggists' Shovr
Bottles.
The Druggist's Circular suggests the
following :—Forywa, a solution of the
nitrate nr chloride of nickel in water
will be found satisfactory; or sulphate
of copper two ounces, water 1 pint, and
bichremate of potash 1 drachm, or a*
much as may he sufficient. For blot,
dissolve sulphate of copper in water,
and supersaturate with solution of am
monia ; or dissolve indigo in sulphuric
acid and add water. For red, add
sulphuric acid to bichromate of potash,
and jlecant; or dissolve carmine in li
quor of ammonia and dilute For yel
low, a solution of bichromate of potash
in water is often used; or a dilated
solution of the se>quioxide of iron io
hydrochloric acid. For purpU, add
sulphate of indigo neutralized with
chalk to an infusion of cochineal, till
the requisite color is attained, or add
to the first blue given above a pint made
by adding sesquicarbonate of ammonia
to a solution of chloride of cobalt.—
There is no necessity for our giving any
proportions for the above, as these are to
be dependent on the color required. It
is better always to filter after the solu
tions have stood for twenty-four hours.
Use pure water. All the above colors
are durable—the purple perhaps least
so. The second purple will probably
be found the most permanent.
All Hands Below.
A good story is told of a parrot who
had always lived on board of ship, but
escaped at one of the Southern ports
and took refuge in a church. Soon af
terwards, when the congregation assem
bled, and the minister began preaching
in his earnest fashion, saying there was
no virtue in them—that every one of
them would go to endless punishment
unless they spcedly repented. Just as
he spoke the sentence, up spoke the par
rot from his hiding place.
“All hands below !”
To say “all hands” were startled
would be a mild way of painting it. The
peculiar voice and unknown source had
much more effect on them than the par
son’s voice ever had. He waited a mo
ment and then, a shade or two paler, ho
repeated tho warning.
“All hands below!” ngain rang out
from somewhere.
The preacher started from his pulpit
and locked anxiously around, inquiring
if anybody had spoke.
“All hands!” was the only reply, at
which the entire panic-stricken congre
gation got up, and a moment afterward
they all bolted for the doors, thepreaoh
er trying to be the first; and during
the time the mischievous bird kept up
his yelling: ,
“Alt hands below !”
There was one old woman present
who was lama, and could not go out as
fust as the rest, and in a short time she
was left alone. Just as she was about
to hobble out, the parrot flew down,
and alighting on her shoulder, yelled in
her ear r
“All hands below !”
“No, no, Mister Devil!” shrieked the
old woman; you can’t mean me. I
don’t belong here; I go to the church
across the way.”
Tourists arc invite! to Mexico by the
Two Republics , which paper declares
that the climate, both in winter and
summer in that oountry, is far prefer*
able to the climate of Europe, and while
the attractions of art and civilization do
not compare with those of the Old
World, still the traveler has a land of
romance; historic grounds abound in
all t: eir varieties, and the enchanted
scenes and romantic events of the old
Aztec Empire, and the chivalry of the
conquistadores, of which Prescott wrote,
will rise before him, and call vividly to
life the thoughts and reveries that were
created by that distinguished author,
Each year more Amerioans visit Mexico,
and thus the tics between the two conn
tries are becoming closer, A summer
jaunt to the uplands of Mexico is among
the most delightful ways of spending a
few months,
