JOflV V VVLTJT) June 18, l*f°. 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 ?” Home Journal. 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. * “ All his secrot and wonderful knowledge.’’ —Ed. 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 th3 South. It will most completely vindi cate them from the locofoco slander that the Opposition movement is a union of Know Nothingism and abolitionism. It will demonstrate the fact that there is a conservative Opposition in the North, wor thy of the co-operation of the conservative men of the South. Together they will form a great national party which will over whelm sectionalism everywhere, opposing alike disunion Democracy and fanatical Abolition Republicanism. The Height of F-fiLi.ruv.—A friend who has been engaged on the United States Survey, relates to us the following inci dents : “Jt has been well said that all ideas of human happiness are comparative, years ago a countryman visited our en campment, and made many enquiries as to the purpose and execution of the work ; and, among other questions, inquired how we employed our time in the winter, when out of door surveying was impossible ? We told him that during the winter we were engaged in office-tfork, in Washington Ci?y.°in constructing maps of our sum mer’s surveys. “J)o you ever see the President ?” asked our interrogator. “Oh jes/’ replied we, “ frequently ; he rides out on horseback nearly every day/’ (it was during Mr. fan Buren’s adminis tration.) At this announcement the countryman, seemed lost in thought, and lapsed into profound siluncc, which he 01 olcg, Alter &n interval of iforffe minutes, with the excla 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.
