Injustice to Women.
One of the acknowledged men of genius
in the American Pulpit, is Rev. E. H.
Chapin, of New York. Those who know
what the best reading is, now-a-davs, rest
the eve very deliberately on every newspa
per article original or reported, which has
the caption of his name. Courage, truth
1 and originality of perception, mark all he
nuts forth, bv word or pen for the public
He has lately delivered a course of sermons
on the “Phases of Life,” from one of which
(reported in the Evening Post) we wish to
make an extract or two. 11 was on “ fehame
ful Life,” and discussed the fate of
Woman, sinned against and sinning,
j —The text was Christ’s “A either do 1
condemn thee : go and sin no more.” Said
Mr. Chapin -.—Every where and at all
! times it has been woman who stands in
■ the foreground, and upon whom the male
diction and condemnation lulls. It is to
her the accusers point, not caring to ask
whether they themselves are clear of all
guilt. Woman is the victim always —
sinned against and sinning. He appealed
in behalf of these victims. Consider a mo
ment this army of six thousand unfort u
i nate women, so many of them mere chil
dren, and the majority accomplishing
; their guilty career and dying on the very
j threshold of existence. Homes somewhere
they have had, many of them homes of pu
rity ; hopes were horn with them, to be
crushed in their perdition ; beans arc bro
ken by their shame. While they have
whirled through life in guilty revelry, hon
ored heads have grown grey and gone down
in sorrow to the grave.
We should pity lallen woman. .Not
merely for herself personally should ve be
lifted above all profligate scorn and fiend
ish contempt in the treatment ot this sub
ject, but for the humanity that in her is
stained and perverted ; for the type of pure
womanhood that lies dishevelled and cast
down under the light of heaven and before
| God. The life of every one of these vic
| tiins, if truthfully unfolded, would he a
I terrible romance of reality. Some were
born in vice, and their history is therefore
j the more terribly appalling. They exhibit
not only a degraded womanhood, but a de
; graded childhood ; they came pure into the
i world as the white snow-flake tails into the
: mire and pollution of the streets ; cradled
in a sarcophagus, swathed with the cere
ments ot a moral death. Rut many oth
ers have fallen, and it has been a fall as
awful as if it were the fall of a star in the
sphere. In the earlier stages, where sin
simmers in fashionable show and etiquette,
| where the death’s head wears a glittering
crown: there may be an iilusiou to cheat
the sense of shame ; hut as the victim do
! scends with rapid steps to baser converse
and rougher realities, the hand “ i itnig
! comes out fearfully distinct; the fallen soul
| makes known the reflected shape and shad
-low of itself- And at the close of her
‘THE UNION OF THE STATES: -DISTINCT, LIKE THE BILLOWS; ONE, LIKE THE SEA.”
THOMASTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1859.
ghastly career, as on a bed of straw in
some damp, dark apartment, ringing with
curses, the dying wreck of humanity and
womanhood lies, to her ear the voice of
memory comes, as to the drowning comes
the sound of far off sabbath bells. Before
her gazing eye appears a mother’s look of
broken hearted wo ; she hears a father’s
lament of ruined hope and pride ; but he
has now only to lay aside the garment of
mortality, as she once did the garment of
innocence and truth. See how the infamy
they serves, serves them !
Silence and apathy existing in relation
to this evil, are not justified by notions of
delicacy. The social cancer is not* to • e
cured by refusing to talk about it ; it is not
to be ignored We have no right to shrink
with sanctimonious delicacy from the poor
est mention of guilt. There is a prevail
ing indifference, at least, that cries out, —
‘Don’t disturb it, don’t talk about it ; let
it rest, we have nothing to do with it ’ Is
it eo ?
Mr. Chapin insists upon
EQUAL JUSTICE TO MAN AND WOMEN.
“The refined woman recoils with virtu
ous scorn from her fallen sister, but often
welcomes him by whom she fell. We are
told that Christ said to the woman’s accu
sers : lie that is without sin among you,
let him cast the first stone’ ; but smitten
by conscience, they went out one by one.
And who is not in some way allied to this
great guilt P The fact of common weak
ness should at least make us merciful. It
is not just that upon the woman alone
should fall the blot of shame. The text
is a great lesson of charity and mercy, and
it is a great lesson of justice, also. There ,
is neither justice, honor, nor delicacy in
our modern custom, which scarcely frowns !
upon the guilty man, while pouring out all
the vials of wrath upon the guilty woman.
It may or may not be true, as some insist. ,
that this fowl cancer in society can never j
be eradicated ; but we ought at least to ,
insist upon it that the shame shall be fair
ly divided, that the sinning man shall be j
branded as deeply as the sinning woman. J
Suppose every guilty man bore ilie mark
of shame in his face, in the market, or at ,
the church, how long would the evil con
tinue r J_)Liu me uicauucno’ ur mail luq
thrust the whole shame upon woman?’ r!
And there is one passage which contains
a most startling
° i
SERMON TO DRESSY LADIES.
“ We are connected with this matter by
our opinion as to woman’s sphere ot em
ployment. Better wages are demanded;
for women. Many sewing women have but j
one or two dollars a week, to keep ofl death ;
and the devil with. One poor woman made
caps at two cents apiece. \\ ould her mu
nificent employer be willing to show him
self? He would probably need all the
caps the poor woman ever made to hide his
humble sense of merit. Many honorable
and pure teamen have to do with this
matter. When they dress themselves in
garments cheaply purchased, they may
have dressed up a soul for the sacrifice, or
sewed a thread in a shroud. Could the
veil he lifted, would they not see on their
gay, white dresses, strange spots and crim
son patterns that they knew not of—inex
tinguishable red that all the seas caiinot
wash away ? Mingled in the wreaths of
flowers on their fair heads, would they not
see the grass that grows on graves ?”

lion. J. HI. Botts, and his Debts.
Mr. BotTs thus alludes to the wonderful
variety and amount of his early pecuniary
obligations in response to the allusion of
O. Jennings V\ ise, recently made in the
columns of the Richmond Enquirer. It
piesen-s a true picture ot the financial at
fairs of the most public men :
It lias been charged, too, that I did not
pay my deb’s. W hen I was a mcie bov,
(having barely readied the age of nineteen
when I was married) and before 1 was
aware of the responsibilities that attach to
the head of a family of children, and in an
ticipation of a patrimony to which I was
entitled, but never realized, I became con
siderably involved, partly through my own
wild and thoughtless extravagance, but
j chiefly by endorsing too indiscriminately
for all who applied fur friendly assistance,
until about the year 1532. when by the
failure of others, I was subjected to respon
sibilities that i could not meet, and was
compelled to take advantage of the time
allowed by law, (which teas the only ad
vantage 1 ever did talee.') and was subject
ed to suits and executions for the next ten
years to an extent in numbers that no man
in this State. I presume, was ever subject
ed to—involving not only thousands, but
tens of thousands and twenties ot thous
ands, all of which I met and paid without
a murmer aud almost without a contest :
for out of more than .SIOO,OOO that I have
paid on executions, nine tenths of the cases
were upon office judgements, orjudgements
confessed, when, by. the simple plea of usu
rv alone, I could have avoided the payment
of an amount that would have constituted
a reasonable fortune of itself. In the year
1832 or ’33, I had 62 writs served upon
I me fit one time, and confessed judgement
in all, and nearly every case was as securi
ty. During the whole of that period, I
was in public life, serving in the capacity
of a representative of the people, either in
the State Legislature or in Congress, and
was most cordially and thoroughly sustain
ed by those whom I was surrounded by,
and who knew of my difficulties and em
barrassments, and who awarded to me the
highest degree of credit for the indomita
ble exertions and energy that marked a life
which (apart from Hie. circle of domestic
associations, wherein I have been more than
jde ssub) had become almost a burden too
oppressive to be borne ; still, with an iron
jtvi* and unsubdued exertions, I struggled
on against every adversity and trial, to the
amazement of all, paying to the last farth
ing every claim that was brought against
me, without ever having a piece of my prop
erty, of any description, taken out of my
possession but once—and then during mv
absence from home, for a very small amount,
by an ill-natured officer, who desired to
■.mass and injure tile—until in the year
1846, (thirteen years ago,) I was worn out
v\ith the life I had led, of unceasing tor
ment and struggle, and voluntarily surren
dered ray entire estate for the benefit of the
bona fide creditors that remained, and took
anew start in life—the necessity for which
would not have existed then but that 1
lost by one person alone some $17,000, who
took the benefit of the bankrupt law, which
I also had the opportunity of doing, and
was strongly urged to take, but which I
resolutely declined.
From the Printer.
A Sketqh of Guttemberg.
BY SAMUEL C. FOGG.
Johann Guttemberg, the acknowledged
inventor of printing, was born in the city
of Mentz, in the year 1400. He was de
scended from a noble and respected ances
trv, which bore beside the name of Gut
temberg that of Geinsfleisch. These two
names were derived from two tracts of land
which were in the possession of the family,
which had received these appellations from
certain peculiarities of their soil and situa
tion. Guttemberg remained in his native
city until the year 1424, and then removed
to tho neighboring? nifjr j
s o-re. iu 1443 be concluded a contract
with a certain Andreas Dryzehn, and oth
ers, in which, for an important considera
tion, he made himself responsible to teach,
and allow them the privilege to use to their
own advantage u oU sein geheimh undwvn
derharlich Kunst Dryzehn survived
but a short time after this transaction, and
Guttemberg was obliged to forego the pleas
ure of seeing the permanent establishment
of his favorite pursuit in the city of Stras
burg. To add to the distress which the
circumstances of the event brought upon
him, the dissolution involved him in a te
dious process of law with Dryzehn’s broth
er. who fancied a desire, upon the part of
Guttemberg, to act dishonorably in the
matter. The adjudication of the matter
of difficulty between them resulted disad
vantageous!)’ to the latter pecuniarily, and
his operations were for some length of time
suspended, and when he resumed his avo
cation it was only a secondary situation
which he obtained.
When and where Guttemberg’s/rsf at
tempts at printing were made, is unknown,
as his literary productions neither bore the
“imprint” ot the printer, the name of the
place where published, nor the date of
publication. So much is certain, howev
er, that towards the end of the year 1438,
he first applied movable types of wood, for
1 he obtainment of letter-press impressions.
In 1443 lie returned to Mentz, aud formed
a partnership with a wealthy jeweler of
that place, by the name of Johann Faust,
who furnished the funds requisite for the
founding of anew and extensive printing
office. The Latin Bible was the first work
that appeared from their piess, and this
va-rfollowed by the German Bible. This
last work netted them the sum of 400
guilders
After the lapse of a few years, this con
nection was dissolved. Faust had made
liberal advances of money for the prosecu
tion of the business, which should have
I been repaid by Guttemberg, and as he was
unable or unwilling to meet the demand
| made upon him, the matter was referred
to a court of equity. Here Guttemberg
was again decided against, and the office
was accordingly retained by Faust, as a re
muneration, in part, for the damage lie
j had sustained, and his partner, who had
suggested so many improvements, and im
parted so much information relative to the
art, was expelled from the concern. Faust
now admitted into the business one Peter
Schcefler, of Gerusheim, with whom he
continued for some length of time, com
pleting many important and valuable im
provements in the art; among which, the
casting of metallic types (Buchstaben) from
prepared matrices, was first attempted and
successfully accomplished by Schcefler.
Through assistance derived from a res
pectable magistrate of Mentz, by the name
of Konrad Hummer, Guttemberg was en
abled, in the following year, to assume a
surer position before the public, in his bu
siness, wiHi anew and complete office at
his disposal. A work entitled “ Ifervtan
ni de Salad is Speculum Sacredotum,” was
the first issued by him from his new local
ity. This book was printed in quarto form,
without any date or name of place where
published, and bore no marks of any kind
by which the printer could l>e identified.
In 1457, he had already published the
Psalms ; and these were issued with an
elegance of typography which gave conclu
sive evidence of the progress he Had made
in the art. He from this time rapidly ad
vanced in prosperity, and his printing of
fice stood in Mentz until the year 1465.
It was about this time, that, in considera
tion of his valuable efforts and discoveries
in art, he was elevated to the order of no
bility, and placed in a position which his
previous life of honesty and integrity had
qualified him to adorn. Though the life
and labors of Guttemberg are enveloped
in much mystery, as well as the circum
stances which gave rise to the invention
and vast improvements of the art of print
ing, in his time, yet perseverance and an
indomitable energy in everything he com
menced, are characteristics of this remark
able man. He died on the 24th of Febru
ary, 1468, at the age of 68 years.

From the Baltimore Clipper.
Black Re public allium and De
mocracy on the wane.
For years the ascendancy of the demo
cratic party in national contests has been
maintained, not by its intrinsic strength,
but by the divisions of the Opposition.—
This fact was made plainly apparent by
the result of the presidential election ot
1856, when, for the second time the dem
ocratic candidate was elected, although
with a minority of the aggregate popular
vote. By this division ot the Opposition a
miserable minority has been enabled since
1852 to rule the country and to fatten up
on the spoils of office and proceeds of fraud
and corruption. The fearful extravagance
and undisguised and flagrant corruption of
the whole army of democratic officials un
der the present administration, have arous
ed the masses of the nentile in ,aIL .sections
<um m an parties, to disappreciation of the
necessity for w resting the government from
the control of these reckless spoilers. To
do this is entirely feasible. It requires only
a union of the conservative masses of the
people in one .common effort. The popu
lar majority of the opponents of democra
cy is much greater now than it was in 1848.
If the slavery issue, now utterly useless and
impracticable, were abandoned, the Re
publican party proper in the North would
be dwarfed to the dimensions of the old
abolition faction under the lead of Birney
and Van Buren, and an overwhelming ma
jority of the nation would be united, upon ,
real, living, practical national issues, in op
position to the party whose ruinous mis
rule has too long cursed the country.
The desire for the consummation of such
a union of the Opposition is almost univer
sal. It exists among the people of both
sections, and it can only be defeated by the
nmd ambition and unscrupulous trickery
of those who have been recognized as lead
ers. A correspondent of the New York
Tribunq , who has recently travelled in sev
eral States, says that the result of his ob
servations is that more than seven-tenths
of the whole opposition are in favor of un
ion in the national contest next year, aud
adds :
In many parts of the country, such co
operation is not only desirable but entirely
practicable. It can never include those
sections, however, where the miserable Slave
Code heresy is preached by the Opposition
or where the African Slave trade is either
justified or tolerated. In the entire North,
this union ought to be effected, as it like
wise may he iu portions of the South ; but
it can never take place on a positive Pro-
Slavery basis. So much is certain.
It might also be said that the much de
sired union can never take place where for
eignism and free soilism are made the shib
boleths of party, nor upon a positive anti
slavery basis. The eight hundred thous
and Americans and Whigs, who manifested
their abhorrence of sectionalism by voting
for Millard Fillmore in 1856, are willing
and ready and anxious to co-operate with
the whole Opposition in ridding the coun
try of the incubus of democratic misrule,
hut the co-operation can only occur upon
a purely conservative and national basis,
free from either pro-slavery or anti-slavery
dogmas and abject pandering to forcignism.
The recent occurrences in Ohio demonstrate
the utter impossibility of effecting a fusion
ot the Opposition upon any other basis.—
The conservative men there not only of the
Americans and Whigs, but also of the Re
publican party, have indignantly refused
to be dragged into a sectional and foreign
courting organization. The recent Repub
lican State Convention insisted upon re
taining its intensesectionalism. It insulted
the conservative men who were in attend
ance by the adoption of resolutions tumid
with sectionalism and forcignism. These
resolutions have been repudiated by many
of the best and most influential men of the
Republican party in Ohio llott. Thomas
Corwin, chairman of the committee on res
olutions, refused to report them to the con
vention, and retired from the committee
room. A monster mass meeting of the.
Americans in Cincinnati, was held on
Thursday evening to condemn the action
of the Republican State Convention. TLe
following resolution was adopted :
WJure an, Tluvßepublican ]>artv of Ohio,
in its recent Convention, as well by its re
solves as by its nominations, has shown it-
subservient to the insolent dictation of
foreign ism, on the one hand, and the arro
gant demands of fanaticism on the other ;
thus assuming ground both anti-Ameri
can and sectional, alike distasteful and of
fensive to Americans and National men
of all parties. The Democratic party has
proved itself utterly false to the great doc
trine of ‘ ; Xon-Interventton” by the un
warrantable interference of its present Ad
ministration in the local affairs of our Ter
ritories, fur the purpose of suppressing or
perverting the popular will of the people.
It has for many years fostered, and still
encourages an undue foreign influence in
the politics of the country, for mere party
purposes, and it sustains its present Ad
ministration iu a reckless and profligate
extravagance, which exceeds anything in
the history of our country, and gives great
cause of alarm.
We therefore believo it to be the duty
of the American party, disavowing all sym
pathy or co-operation with either of these
parties, to .assume its proper and legm
mate position of independence, therefore,
Resolved, That we recommend a mass
convention of all the conservative citizens
of Ohio, to be held in Cincinnati on
Wednesday, the 6th of duly next, to nom
inate a State ticket, which shall reflect the
opinion of all who are in favor of sustain
ing an honest Judiciary, and iaithful ap
plication of the doctrine of non-interven
tion by Congress in the local affairs of our
Territories; who oppose an unwarrantable
foreign influence in our politics, and who
are devoted to, and under all circumstan
ces w T ill maintain the integrity of our Fed
eral Union.
At this meeting in Cincinnati, Hon.
T,frU"W I) HiuihvluiH lufnly a Republican
member of Congress; was the prinmnal
speaker. Ife
tnc action of the Republican State Con
vention, and heartily concurred in the res
olution of the meeting. The prolonged
and enthusiastic applause with whieh toifl
resolution was received by the conserva
tive men of Cincinnati will re sound through
out the State, and Black Republican fa
naticism •will be signally rebuked. There
are in Ohio, and in all the other States,
thousands who have hitherto acted with
the Republican party, who will refuse now
to follow its leaders into a senseless and
dangerous fanaticism. They will repudi
ate its sectionalism and its abject submis
sion to the dictation of foreiguism, and
will give their hearts and hands to theeow
servative Opposition. This action of the
Americans and conservative Republicans
of Ohio will encourage the Opposition in

conservative Opposition in the North, wor

a great national party which will over
whelm sectionalism everywhere, opposing
alike disunion Democracy and fanatical
Abolition Republicanism.

told him that during the winter we were
engaged in office-tfork, in Washington

At this announcement the countryman,
seemed lost in thought, and lapsed into
profound siluncc, which he 01 olcg, Alter &n

mation :
“Wa’al neow, I that chap has
chicken pie for dinner every day of his life 1”
A graceful manner spoils nothing ; it
adds to beat tv and gives lustre to modesty.
An affected simplicity is a refined imposter.
