Wedmiutmy Evening, Feb. IG, IHSB.
The Fourth Resolution of the Geor
gia Platform and the Ransas
Question.
The reference of the Lecompton Con
stitution to the Committee on Territo
ries, of which Mr. Douglas is Chairman,
is regarded as a virtual rejection of Kan
sas. There are so many technicalities,
side issues, sensation subterfuges and
humbugs connected with Kansas and
its political history, as to render it asub
iect of perplexing as well as interesting
observation. We watch its gradual de
velopement with feelings similar to
those of a naturalist, who, having dis
covered some hisus naturae in a chrysalis
condition, is unable to tell what is to be
the order of its being, when fully devel
oped. Its gradual transformations are
watched day by day, without any def
inite idea whether it is to be fish,flesh or
fowl in the end. So with Kansas-no
man can foresee what will be the na
ture of its institutions, and eyes are
watching and waiting its passage thro'
the incipient progress of republican sov
reignty. It is now hung up to dry in
the Territorial Committee room, and it
will be fortunate if it escapes the taint
of abolition atmosphere around it.
To drop this crude metaphor, the
Kansas question is beginning to assume
a shape and import of pratical interest
to every Georgia Platform man. If re
fused admission under the Lecompton
Constitution it cannot be denied that it
is because that Constitution recognizes
slavery. It will not do to say that it is
because that instrument docs not reflect
the wishes of the people. They had a
fair chance to frame and to vote upon
the clause relative to slavery. They
were in the majority, and might have
controlled the whole matter. From the
very first no right has been denied them
that the most exacting squatter sove
reign could desire. ‘‘Actual residents
—whether American citizens or not—
have had a chance to vote, and if they
have refused to comply, it is no fault of
the South or the friends of the South.
A direct issue, therefore, presents it
self. Kansas is refused admission into
the Union as a State because it has a
Constitution recognizing slavery. Geor
gia stands pledged to resist such an
event, by the most solemn obligations.
The “fourth resolution’’ of the Georgia
Platform, which has been endorsed as
the ultimatum on the subject, by every
party in the State, and adopted as the
policy of other Southern States, reads as
follows:
KemJved Fourthly, That the State of:
Georgia, in the judgement of this Con- |
vention, will and ought to resist, even |
(as a last resort) to a disruption .of every j
tie which binds her to the Union, any’
action of Congress upon the subject of
slavery in the District of Columbia, or .
in places subject to the jurisdiction of
Congress, incompatible with the safety,
domestic tranquility, the rights and the j
honor of the slaveholding States, or
any act suppressing the slave trade be
tween the slaveholding States, or any
refusal to admit us u istate any territory here
after applying, because of the existence of
slavery therein , or any act prohibiting the :
introduction of slaves into the ternto- j
ries of Utah and New Mexico, or any act ,
repealing or materially modifying the ;.
laws now in force for the recovery of fu- ;
gitive slaves.
If Kansas is refused admission, will
it not be a clear and distinct infringe
ment of one of these conditions? The
question then comes up what will Geor
gia, do, in such a contingency? ThatJ (
is precisely what we are waiting to see.
Thus far all the leading politicians, and
leading presses are mum. ,
The Governor lias pledged himself, in
view of this very question, to call aj ]
convention, to consider on the policy j
to he pursued. We shall wait with ,
some anxiety to learn the position this j (
question is to assume in the South. It,,
will try the back-bone of the politicians ■
And show who are blustering dema
gogues, and who it will do to trust in an *
emergency.
I» Lager Beer Intoxicating*
This question was recently before a
jury in Brooklyn, N. Y. A cloud of
witnesses were brought forward to prove
that it was not. Dr. Arming testified
that he saw a German drink 160 pint
glasses of Lager within three or four I
hours without getting drunk. James j
White testified to drinking 32 glasses j
within two hours and did not feel any !
intoxicating effects. Philip Kock aston-!,
ished the court and jury by swearing (
that once, on a bet, he drank a keg of
Lager Beer, containing men and a half
gallons within two hours, and did not
feel any the worse for it. He said it de-;
pended very much upon the state of his ,
purse how much he drank during a day. j
When flush he drank 60, 70, 80 and 90 !
glasses within a day and evening. Nev
er was intoxicated and never saw any j
one intoxicated on Lager Beer. (The
glasses referred to contained a pint.)
On the other hand, witnesses testified
that Lager contained 3 3-4 per cent, al
cohol, and that it produced dizziness in
the head.
The New York Express suggests that
the jury be locked up with a liberal sup- \
ply of Lager, and let them test it them
selves. It adds that there were no Ger
mans on the jury, as a Teuton would;
not be a competent witness in a ques
tion involving Lager Beer.
Property Exempt from Levy anil
Sale.
• There seems to be some doubt as to
the nature of the law passed by the
last Legislature in reference to the ex
emption of property from sale. The,
- act passed made no change in the old
* schedule, save to exempt a horse or
mule, of any value. The following is
- the Act entire :
He it enacted by the Senate and Hpuse of
Reprcsentalii'es, and it is hereby enacted by
tbo authority of the same , That from and
after the passage of this act, the afore
said act be so amended as to permit ev
ery citizen of this State, male or female
being the head of a family, to hold and
possess free from levy and sale, one farm
horse or mule, without regard to tile
value of the same. Assented to Dec.
22d, 1857.

Tile Wife of Benedict Arnold.
1 We have been accustomed to sympa
thize with the wife of Arnold, in the
1 distress which Hamilton’s Sccount rep
’ resents her as having suffered on being
apprised of her husband’s treason and
flight, but it the following is true,
our sympathies have been wasted. Ac
cording to Parton’s life of Burr :
“He was sitting one evening with
■ Mrs. Prevost, when the approach of a
: party of horse was heard, and soon af
j. ter a lady, veiled and attired in a ri
ding habit, burst into the room, and,
hurrying toward Mrs. Prevost, was on
- the point of addressing her. Seeing a
, gentleman present whom, in the dim
light of the apartment, she did not re
; cognize, she paused, and asked in an
anxious tone—
‘Am I safe ? Is this gentleman a 1
friend!’
‘Oh, yes,’was Mrs. Prevost’s reply, 1
lie is my most particular friend, Col. 1
Burr. ' i
1 Thank God!’ exclaimed Mrs. Am- >
old, for she it was; ‘l’ve been playing 1
the hypocrite, and I’m tired of it.’
She then gave an account of the way
{she deceived Washington, Hamilton,
and other American officers, who she
{said, believed her innocent of treason,
I and had given her an escort of horse
from West Point. She made no scru
-1 pie of confessing the part she had borne
1 in the negotiation witli the British gen
eral, had declared it was she who had
• induced her husband to do what he had
l done. Sire passed the night at Para-
I mus, taking care to resume her acting
jof the outraged and frantic woman,
whenever strangers were present. Col.
Burr's relation with the Pliipped family,
of which Mrs. Arnold was a member,
had been of the most intimate charac
ter from childhood. They had been his
father’s friends; and the orphan boy
had been taken from his mother’s grave
to their home in Philadelphia. He
| stood toward this fascinating, false
hearted woman almost in the light of a
younger brother, and he kept her secret
untill she was past being harmed by the
telling of it.'’

Anecdote of Havelock.
At the recent meeting of the share
holders of the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, the Chair
man, alluding to the loss of the Erin,
related the following anecdote respect
ing General Havelock :
“On board that ship a passenger in
private clothes, was Colonel, and now
General Havelock. When the vessel
struck, between 12 and I o’clock in the
morning, a half a gale of wind blowing
at the time, Colonel Havelock sprung
upon the deck, and seeing some confu
sion, said, in a sharp military tone
that always arrests attention, ‘ Men, he
steady and all may he saved, but if we
haveconfusion.all may be lost. Obey your
orders and think of nothing else.”—
They did so, and behaved in the most
excellent manner. Next day all lives
on board were saved, together with the
specie and mails. On the shore imme
diately afterwards, Colonel Havelock!
mustered the men, and said, ‘ Now, my
men, let us return thanks to Almighty
God for the great mercy He has just j
vouchsafed tons.' They all knelt down,:
and, as his (the chairman’s) informant, j
who was one of the officers wf the ship j
told him the Colonel then rose up and
walked away as coolly as though noth
ing had happened.”
Stop- Now.
• Young man, if you are just common- j
eing or practicing anjy vice or bad habit, j
the time to stop is now. Yon have I
arrived at a stopping place, and you may
stop now if you please, hut if you suffer
yourself to he whirled ori by appetites
and passions, tyou may go so far that
when you desire to stop it may be out of
your power to do so.
If you swear, or drink, or break the
Sabbath, “stop now.” If you think
evil thoughts, or tell things not quite
true, or sometimes tell a little more
than truth, “stop now.” If you are
going to dance, or play, or ijny place
where you may meet bad company,
“stop now.” If you are in the habit
of jesting about religion, or ministers,
or preaching, “stop now.” If you
think there is time enough to become
religous by-and-by, and that you will
pursue the way you are going awhile
longer, “stop now;” for the course you
are going leads to death. —Ruritan Recor

fjftler from Mexico.
The Tabamatchc and Muotche Utah
Indians are giving unmistakable signs
of hostility, and openly declare their
enmity to both Mexicans and Ameri
cans. (
They say that the Mormon “tata” is
worth all the other “tatas,” as he gives .
them kegs of powder and boxes of guns. ,
and that hecould whip the whole world, j
There is no doubt that Brigham Young
is inciting those Indians to hostility
against our Government, and that they 1
are likely to be troublesome. From the
Conejos to the Mormon settlements it
is but a few days’ travel, and the Taba
muatches use as much in Utah as New
Mexico. The inhabitants in the Cone
jos apprehend danger from these In
dians so soon as the snow disappears
and the grass begins to grow.
In Western Massachusetts the flesh
ing is excellent, the snow in many places
being two feet deep.

Washington, Feb. 9. —In the .Senate
to-day a joint resolution was introduced
to take measures to enforce a settle
ment of the differences with this Gov
ernment and'Paraguay. In the House
the proceedings are unimportant.
[The difficulties between this Govern
ment and Paraguay, were referred to in
President Buchanan,s message at the
opening of Congress. The President of
Paragray refused to ratify the treaty
between tire United States and that
State, as amended by the Senate. In
1858, a United States steamer, the Wa
ter Witch, was detailed to ascertain the
fitness of the river La Plata and its tri
butaries for navigation by steam. This
enterprise was successfully prosecuted
until February, 1855, when in the
peaceful prosecution of her voyage up
the Parana river, the steamer was fired
upon by a Paraguayan fort.
The pretext for firing upon the Water
Witch was the then existence of a de
gree issued by the President of Para"
guay, in October 1854, prohibiting for
eign vessels of war from navigating the
rivers of that State. But the Water
Witch was not a vessel of war, hut a
. steamer engaged in a scientific enter
prise, intended for the advantage of
, commercial States generally. Among
other causes of complaint against Para
guay, citizens of the United States in
basinessin that country have had their
property taken from them, and their
persons treated in an insulting and
arbitrary manner. Hence, the object of
tlie joint resolution above referred to.]

To Salieratux Enters,
At a late convention of Dentists if
was asserted that the main if not. the
sole cause of the great increase of defee
tive teeth, was the use of Balserstus and
cream of tartar in the manufacture of
bread ; and Dr. Baker fully agreed with
the facts offered in proof, adding the
results of some experiments made by
himself. He soaked sound teeth in a
solution of salicratus, and they were de
ployed in fourteen days ! We here
have the opinion of men whose talents,
time and zeal are given to dentistry,that
salaeratus cream and of tartar in
bread are a chief cause of ruin to teeth.
Now, will those who know this fact go
on eating all that comes in their way,
without inquiring what it is made of ?

PRFJ'ARED BY J. DENNIS. M. D., AUGUS
TA, GA.
For Dyspepsia, ('olds and Female Complaints
i arising from Colds.
TTSEFUL IN VARIOUS DISEASES
VJ of the stomach, such as pain or an uir.-i. v
j sensation in the stomach, caused by cold or t ie i
I indigestion of food. Heartburn, FUiutuleucy, or
I wind in the stomach, various Female Complaints!
1 peculiar to the sex, &c. They act upon the Li
ver and Secretions generally. They assist the di
gestion of food ami strengthen the stomach : up
on the bowels they have a laxative tendency.
FOR DYSPEPSIA. —If food causes pain in the
stomach, a dose taken immediately after meals,
or as soon as the uneasy sens.tiou is experi
enced, will relieve the pain and assist digestion.
FOR COLDS.—Taken at the commencing stage
of colds, they will prove almost an infal Ible
cure in all cases. They are also valuable for the
prevention and cure of chills in their first stages.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM
COLDS.—If these Bitters were taken bv females
immediately after having been exposed in cold
or rainy weather, to prevent taking cold, or
w«*re taken for colds at the commencement ol
being unwell, and tlielr use continued through
that period, they would save a great amount ot
suffering, and often prevent diseases which fre
quently terminate fatally, especially with young
females.
