us reader, if Mr. Dix is a freesoiler, what is

tative from Georgia, from the seventh district, in
Congress ?
Mr. Dix's Letter, 1853.
Ist That I am not
and never have been an
abolitionist in any sense
of that term. On the
contrary, I have been
an open and uniform op
ponent of all abolition
movements in this state,
and elsewhere, since
they commencedin 1835,
to tue present time.—
While in the Senate of
the United States lop
posed the extension ot
to iree territory
—a question entirely dis
tinct from the interfer
ence with slavery where
it already exists. In the
latter case. I have stea
dily opposed all external
interference with it.
2d. That I have on all
occasions, public and
private, since thoFugi
tive Slave Law passed,
declared myself in favor
of carrying it in to execu
tion in good faith, like
every other law of the
land.
3d. That I was in fa
vor of the union of the
democracy of this state,
which was consummated
in 1850, continued in
1851 on the basis of the
Compromise Measures,
aDd in 1852, on the basis
of the Baltimore Plat
form.
4th. That I have.sinco
the Baltimore Conven
tion, in Juno, 1852, re
peatedly given my pub
lic assent to its proceed
ings and acquiesced in
its declarations, as an
adjustment of disturbing
questions, by which I
was willing to abide.

THE Magnetic Washing Fluid, is warranted not
to injure the most dolicate fabric, and obviates
the necessity of hard rubbing. The uso of this
Fluid saves an immenso deal or time and trouble,
besides imparting to Linens a whiteness which can
not be attained r>y the ordinary mode of washing.
No Laundry should be without, as with all its
advantages, it is not more expensive than common
Soap. Full directions accompany each bottle.

sep 3 DAWSON & SKINNER,
Mr. Stephens' speech on
the annexation of Tex
as, 1845.
“Nor do I wish “to
hoax” gentlemen from
other sections upon this
point, as some have inti
mated. I am candid and
frank in my acknowledg
ment. This acquisition
will give additional pow
er to the southwestern
section in the national
councils; and for this
purpose I want it—not
that I am desirrusto see
an extention of the “area
of slavery,” as some gen
tlemen have said its ef
fect would be. I am no
defender of slavery in
the abstract. Liberty
always had charms for
me, and I w uld rejoice
to see all the sons of
Adam's family, in every
land and clime, in the
enjoyment of those lights
which are set forth in
our Declaration of In
dependence as “natural
and inalienable if a
stern necessity, bearing
tbo marks and impress
of the hand of tho Crea
tor himself, did not, in
some cases,interpose and
prevent. Such is tho
case with States where
slavery now exists. But
I have NO WISH TO
SEE IT EXTENDED
TO OTHER COUN
TRIES ; and if tho an
nexation of Texas were
for tho sole purpose of
extending slavery whore
it does not now, and
would not otherwise
exist, I SHOULD OP
POSE IT.
