Spiritual Joke.—At a recent trial of a
liquor ease, which occurred not a thousand
miies from Worcester county, the witness
on the stand was under examination as to
what he had seen at the defendant’s dom
icil, which he said lie had visited “a num
ber of times.”
“Did you ever see any spirits there, or
anything you regarded as spirits ?” asked
the presiding justice.
“Why, yes—l don’t know but I have,”
was the reply of the witness.
“Do vou know what kind of spii its ?”
“Yes.”
“How do you know ?”
“I kinder sne It it.”
“Weli now,” said the Judge, straight
ening hi; . ‘ If up for the convicting answer,
which he supposed would be given.
“Will you please tell what kind Dispir

A Good Hit.—As Capt. J. M. E., an
old and cordial friend of Dr. Miller, was
passing him rather hurriedly on the street,
a few days since, the Doctor stopped him,
saying :
“I do not like this way my old friends
recently have of giving me the cold shoul
der and frowning looks. Why do you not
shake hands and give me a cordial greet
ing ?”
Capt. E. thereupon took the Doctor’s
hand, and looking first at it and then in
his face, said :
“The voice is Jacob’s voice but the hand
is the hand of Esau ! .
This cut was so keen, that, in spite of
his usual nonchalance, the Doctor winced
and collapsed. — Rome Courier.
Advice too Late. —“1 meant to have
told you of that hole,” said a man to his
friend who was walking with him in his
garden, and stumbled into a pit full of wa

found it.”

THOM ASTON. (iEORHIA. SATURDAY MORNIMI SEPTEMWft 29. \m.
In September 1842, Mr. Berrien pub
lished an address to the ] eople of Georgia,
vindicating his opinions and vuts. We
extract his remaiks on Mr. Everett’s nom
ination :
MR. EVFRF-TT’S NOMINATION.
The vote which I felt it my duty to <_rive
on the nomination of Mr. Everett, as Min
ister to great Britain, is the next measure
which the Legislature ot Georgia lias deem
ed worthy of censure. The majority of
that honorable body have supposed, that
the rejection of this nomination, would
have given an efficient cheek to opinions
unfavorable to S mheru interests in rela
tion to slavery—and they censure the Tote
for his confirmation, as not truly represen
ting the wishes of either political party in
Georgia. Wi h respect fir those
who have expressed it. T think this sunpo
sition is erroneous hi both particulars. The
abolition party were anxiously expecting
the rejection of this nomination, in i he lmpe
of turning it to advantage, and tin-jour
nals of the da j’ will serve to show, what a
flame it would have lighted up in the N r
---thern, Eastern and Middle S at*s. aiming
those who were not the advocates of aboli
tion, not friendly to those who were, but
who claimed the right to think on the sub
ject of slavery as t heir consciences, i licit - as
sociations, tied tin ;r educati >n had taught
them, without being disqualified on that
account for holding office Utah r ihe Fedi
ral Govcrnmen 1 . Mi. Everett is tin c ti
zcii of a Slate where under the intlueiieeof
causes, unconnected with the* morality of
the question, slavery had ceased to txisr.
hetore lie entered on ihe tin a re of 1 .ft*. —
The circumstances of his po.-iti, n, his asso
ciations. his education, were all calculated
to give him dtffierent views on that subject
from tlmse which he entertained. Had he
been horn and educated among us, our
views and his would probably have been
identical. As it is, it is true that, in the
course ot a political canvass in which he
was a candidate, and the discharge of his
official duties as Governor ot Massachu
setts, lie express-e l opinions which conflict
with ours, in relation to the right ofCon
i gr* ss to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia, and to interdict the slave tratio
between the States, and as r<> the admis
sion of Territories into the Union vvluue
’slavery prevailed. But he was an eat ly, I
believe he earliest, and certainly one ot
the rm st decided advocates on tin* floor of
Congress, of ihe rights of the South—of
their exclusive right to determine the ques
tion ot s a very for themselves, when, totln
usioffishuieni of the ejoie ncdd. of more
pru hut of his Eastern hreihren, he declar
ed his leadings u> slmulder Ins musket in
the deienee of them.
Besides, the question presented to me,
as an American IS* nator, acting under an
obligation to support ihe Coust ii mion,
was this: Whether a man whose opinions
on the subject of slavery were opp s <1 to
mine, was for that cause alone, disqualified
from holding an office, for which, I was
compelled to admit, as every b dy else did,
that in other respects he was eminently
qualified. No such test could be fumd in
the Const ii ution, and in my judgment, it
was the altruism of human weakness, fora
Southern man to attempt to toleiate it
theie. Wo could have succeed* (1 then, for
iSo iihern Wbig Senators would have sus
tabled by an almost undivided vote of the
opposition, acting as a party, though many
of them carriid their hostility to slavery
further than Mr. Everett did. But the re
coil would have been tremendous. If with
us, hostility to slavery was a disqualifica
tion for otliee, would notour brethren ot
tin* non slavi holding States have attached
the same disqualification to its advocates ?
Neither pretence finds any warrant in the
Constitution. The list of disqualifications,
too, might have been inert used. Some of
ns entertain peculiar opinions in relation
to our Federal Charter. We are State
lights men—Unionists—Nullifn rs. These
several opinions are honestly entertained,
avowed and acted upon. They are mote
intimately connected too wiih our federal
relations, than those abstract opinions on
the subject ot slavery. What would have
been our feelings, it a distinguished citiz n
ot the South, eminently qualified for a
high office, to which he was nominated,
should have beeu r jetted by out non-stave
holdiug brethren, because he enteriained
them ? if the messages ol h-ur Executive
magistrates, the publicatn tis which had
been made in tile heat of a political can
vass, had been ransacked to fix upon him
some opinions in politics or in morals re
pudiated by them ? lam myself a slave
holder, at least as deeply interested in
checking the progress of abolition, as those
who question the correciuessot my conduct
on this occasion, for the whole productive
property, to which 1 look for the support
of a numerous family, consists of slaves,
and the land which they cultivate. Be
yond my personal labor, I have no other
resource. 1 have every motive therefore,
as a {Southern man, and a slave holder, to
resist the spread of abolition. It was as
such, that 1 looked at this question. It
was as a Southern man, and a stave hold
er, that I voted for Mr. Everett, it did
more to check abolition, than any vote I
had an opportunity of giving. It manifes
ted a determination to exclude the snbjvct
of slavery from the Senate Chamber. It
deeply concerns us to keep this question
from the halls of Congress. Not with my
consent, or bv any agency of mine, shall it
ever come there. It is undei our own
bright Southern Sun, and around our own
domestic altars, that it should alone be dis
cussed. 1 know that Senators from the
South, who abstained from voting on this
u< tninu'ion. participated in these views,
and would have acted upon them, if theii
votes had been m cessarv to sustain it—
and one distinguish* and Southern S nator,
w bos** <h vot ion to Sou h< in rights has nev
er h ***] questioned, who felt constrain***!
trom his particular position to vote against
Mr. Ever* tt’s confirmation, transmitted to
tin*, soon at er, a voluntaiy and tins* licit* *1
written assurance of his approbation of my
corns'*.
‘ Tlmse who censure this vote are, I am
sure, under equal misapprehensions as to
the judgment pronounced upon it by our
own citizens, of whatever party, who have
looked to theqties ion uninfluenced by par
tizan feeling. While I have been cheered
by the approba - ion of many of oik most
intelligent citizens, conveyed tom** person
ally ami by letter, no contrary opinion has,
in n single instance, been expressed to me,
le\otid the denunciations ot a partizan
press, and I would n*t now point to any
one of tiles-*. 1 saw this censured, for the
lir>t time, by th*- Cminiitte on the suite
of the republic, of tin- Legislature of Geor
gia. I know, too, that while lie* nomina
tion was pending before the Sen it *, sever
al Si u lu-rn no n. who wore large slave
hol era, e.X| ressed the strongest anxiety
.for its coiifii ination, under u conviction of
th*- i:iq ulse which its rojecti*>n would give
to the sj read of abolition.

None of them Working—According
to the London Observer, the Atlantic tele

abandoned, the cable from Malta to Corfu
has also gone the wav of its predecessors ;
ihat from Aden to Kuraclice has contribu

these is attributed to want of knowledge

manufacture of submarine telegraphs, and
a desire to economise expendi nre. Not

in the West. A young, wittdv lawyer was
once making a plea in a manslaughter case
before the judge. The lawyer talked b* an

Letter from (hr (lon. 11. %V. IliUnrd, of
Al'!ma,to E\-Prp'iidnt Fillmore—
Tbr Duty oftho roiiirrvativc Classes
in ilie I'rP'Hit Crisis, etc.
New York, August 30, 1800.
llon. Millard Fillmore— My Dear
Sir : —Your *miu nr position ami the in
timate il lations which have long existed
between us, induce me to address you up
on the present state ot the Country. In the
coiiversation which I had the honor of hol
ding with you recent ly, at {Saratoga Springs,
we agreed in opinion as to the neiiF whi *h
surround the government, and as to the
best inode ot averting them ; and subse
quent rejection has continued that opinion
it it were possible to reach the great body
ot our countrymen, and to persuade them
to look into the actual condition of public
affairs, unintiuenced by those passions
which, unhappily, have too long swayed
.the masses which make up political t>ar
ties, I am confident that they would think
as \ou and 1d . The importance and the
grandness ot the issue so soon to hi* deci
ded ought to arouse the patriotism of eve
ry man within the limits of this widespread
republic. The great fact which stands out
b< tore the Country is. that a powerful sec
tional organization threatens to acquire
Control ot the government ; a party which,
ignoring every other question, rallies its
followers to a crusade against slavery ; ti
party which, taking its candidates for the
highest otlices m the U public from one
sec-ion ot the Union, proclaims its purpose
to bring the ins ituttons of tin* other sec
tion under the ban of the government.
Such a party ought not to he tolerated,
aud against it every man whose patriotic
instincts are not utterly dead should range
himself in the order of futile, no matter
what creed lie may have professed or what
mime he may have b rne. Everv true m in,
with all his manhood, slnml | t ike his place
under that great standard whi . It the friends
of the Union have sit tipaguUst that pow
erful party which threatens to tread the
constitution under foot, and to involve the
country in widespread ruin. N (thing can
save the country from great troubles b i
i he uprising of that love of the Union which
lies deep in the popular heart. L-t ilia
rise in its majestic swell, and it will over
whelm the enemies of the constitution. —
Party standards flaunt the air iri vain ; tie
magic of party names is gone ; the ascen
dancy of party managers over the masses
is at an end ; u (thing can reach the h -arts
of the people but the dear names of the
coun t rv and the Union.
The present canvass for the Presidency
does show that old party lines are idmost
obliterated in the great struggle.
When Mr. “Bitch a nan caine into power I
felt it to b- my dutv to support bis admin
istration, ami I said so publicly. I de
clined to contest widi his friends the pla
ces which they held, stating it as my opin
ion tlwP the conservative force of the coun
try ought not to lx* impaired, but. tbit i*
was our dufv to forget past polii ieul strifes
and antagonisms, and do what we might
to strengthen the hands of th * parly in
power, in view of thegieat impending con
flict to lie fought in ISfiO. That position
1 have maintain'd until recently ; others
have held it besides myself; but unhappi
ly. the great, party which achieved the sig
nal triumph four years since is now torn by
fierce dissensions, and stands uttoilv pow
erless to contend against that formidabh
organization, which ranges its batrallion*-
along the whole line which divides the
North from the South. Neither Mr. Dou
glas nor Mr. Breckinridge can appeal to
the allegiance of those who compose theii
party ; neither can concent rate the strength
of that party. Mr. Breckinridge is the ex
ponent of my views ; he stands upon a
platform which I approve. I admire him
personally, and 1 am very sure that he is
not in the slightest degree tainted with
that disloyalty to the Union with which he
is charged. I must sav, too, with equal
candor, that I believe the accusations
brought against Mr. Douglas are greatly
overstrained. He is a patriotic and consis
tent statesman. IS. ill it is clear that the
anfagonisdeal attitude of those twogentle
tnen, and the fierie conflict that is waged
between their ft ie rids, must put it out of
t lie j ower of either of them to defeat. Mr
Lincoln ; while this v.-ry dissensi n in the
ranks of a party to which many of us gave
our Mjpport from the mere fact that ir was
in position, confronting th * enemies of the
constitution and turning its guns upon
them, now releases us from any sort of ob
ligation to hold utti’ ground longer as allies.
When t lie-army which we came to aid has
ceased to deliver its lire against the com
mon enemy, and is fiercely engaged in an
internecine war, surely we need no longer
keep our places in its lines. There is tin

not do it. lam confident that Ido not
misconstrue the signs of the times ; the ex

of Mr. Lincoln in vindicating him from the

Mr. Seward’s Boston speech created
something of a panic in the ranks of hit
party. It is now sou limisly insisted that
Mr. Lincoln does not hld those ultra c*
pinions ; nothing is said now of the “irre
pressible conflict” between North and
South—an idea which, it is understood,
originated wi h Mr. Lincoln, who, I be
lieve, asserted in his canvass with Mr. Dou
glas for the Senate that our government
embraced two conflicting systems of civili
zation ; flnf one or the other must give
wav, an 1 that th swh do soil ot tno repub
lic must be surrendered to slavery or free
dom. Well may his friends shrink from
inscribing that sentiment upon his banners;
the patriotic people of tin* North and South
will alike denounce it. for they prefer to
leave the States which compose the Union
to the lull and until"! s’**d enjoyment of
their own institutions, under the protect l *
mg atgis of the constitution. Even now it
is clear that the conservative men of the
country are coming to tit * rescu.*, and sec
tionalism will he relinked, an 1 the move
ment in behalf of the Union will now ac
quire a resistless momentum.
We both think, and every day’s events
must strengthen this opinion, that ihe on
