AUGUSTA. GA:
Monday Evening, July WJ, 1850.
Secretary Cobb Turned Legislator.
As a partisan leader, Mr. Cobb has no
superior. It is to be regretted that the
fame which he has acquired, is attribu
table rather to his exhibition of skill in
party navigation, than to acts of states
manship. It is not within our knowl
edge, if he has ever originated,
or materially aided in any legis
lation very beneficial to the coun
try at large or to his own section. It
is true that such legislation occupies
:ias: rtion of the recent histo
vof t >.■ cuu ry. It is also true that
v’ta: : is touehing the foundation
...id continuaiivo of our liberties as a na
tion, have been and still are imperiled.
And it is but reasonable to ask that
he, who aspires, as Mr. Cobb does,
to the highest office, should be
able to show that he has undevia
tingly struggled to fortify these interests
—to secure them from the treachery of
unscrupulous men. ,
No one denies that this gentleman
looks to the Presidency, Now, it is not
enough that he should be fit, intellec
tually and morally, for the office. He
must command the unshaken confi
dence of the people. To do this it
must be apparent and beyond doubt,
that his official integrity is unsullied. It
is not enough that he should be honest.
There must be no fair ground for a
charge of political dishonesty. If he
has done an act which can justify the
suspicion, or give color to a charge, of
preferring his own aggrandizement, to
the rights of any section, or of any indi
vidual, then he is totally unfit to be the
chief officer of this Union. No matter
how good his real intentions may have
been, if he is suspected now. he would be
suspected while President; and therefore
■would be unable to quell the conflict
of sections. If there should be a blot
upon him, there would always be those
who, by pointing to that blot, could
render abortive all his attempts at me
diation.
We will not undertake to assign mo
tives to Mr. Cobb. We are willing that
everybody should have his own opinion
of everybody else. But we do under
take to say that if the Honorable Secre
rary never before did anything of the
kind, he has nevertheless, recently
done that which may fairly warrant a
suspicion that he does prefer his own ad
vancement to all things else ; or at any
Tate that he will not lend himself to
any scheme for rescuing the South, he
is himßelf to be the honored instrument
in the execution thereof.
He has, for some time past, had the
reputation of being “more popular at
the North than any other Southern
man ’—a fame which, to say the least,
we regard as being very unenviable.—
To our ears, it does not sound like say
ing that he is a warm friend of the
South! His late arbitrary act in re
fusing a clearance to the ship Richard
Cdbden, will be looked upon at the North
a : vpjehow or other, a thrust at slave
v. He admitted that the refusal was
base . upo'r, the presumption that the
owner, C. A. L. Lamar, Esq., intended
to do an unlawful act. He refused,
not because permission was asked to do
an act prohibited by law, but because
he presumed that permission to do a
rightful act would be abused to the
commission of a crime! Now, neither
the glare of the Secretary’s position,
nor the fear of giving offence, ought to
prevent us, or any other indepen
dent editor, from expressing the opin
ion that Howell Cobb has undertaken
to be the inquisitor of other men’s in
tentions, and that, in so doing, he
committed an act which might mark a
despot.
That all the States of this Union
ought to prohibit the importation of ’
free negroes, we admit, but when Mr.
Cobb travels from his office of execu- 1
ting what is law, to enforce what he ■
thinks ought to ho law, he usurps the *
prerogative of the legislator, and fur- *
niahes abundant ground for believing, '
that, if he abuses a little power, he 1
would prove a tyrant when invested
with much power!
We wish it distinctly understood that
we do not deem the importation of As- 1
rican apprentices desirable. We wish '
the importation of African slaves, to be
held by the same tenure as those among
us. We do not agree with Mr. Lamae j
as to the propriety of the immediate
object which he had in view, but we do
sympathise with him in the indignation
which he so justly feels at being do ,
prived of a right which was his under
bhe existing law 6. It is beyond dispute
that he has been deprived of that right 1
by an arbitrary stretch of power in the
hands of an official who takes refuge
bohind his immunity from attack in
the courts.
We hare not seen, in the papers, as
general expression of opinion in this
subject as we desire. The streets re
sound with the declarations of private
men, “that Howell Cobb sought, by
refusing a clearance to the Richard Cob
den, to make political capital at the
North.”
We sometimes fear that we may say
of the South, as Cicero said of his
own Republic, “There uas once sucli a
public virtue in this community, that
upright men would more severely pun
ish a traitorous citizen than the bitterest
foreign enemy.”
-
The Enterprise of England.
We are in the habit of noting with
complacency the progressive spirit of
Brother Jonathan, and it is quite true
that our vast country exhibits most
gratifying evidences of indomitable vi
gor and liberal enterprise. But after
all our boasting, and all our mammoth
achievements and our still more mag
nificent projects, our British brethren
far outstrip us in the lavish expen
diture of money, if they do not get
ahead of us in some of our pet under
takings. It is said that British survey
ors are already in the field surveying a
route for a Railroad to the Pacific, to ex
tend along the Western shores of Lake
Superior, through the property of the
Hudson’s Bay Company, to Vancouver's
Island, on the Pacific coast. It will pen
: etrate the vicinity of the Frazer river
. gold region, and if that proves as auri
> serous as many anticipate, it will afford
f to the road a handsome revenue.
The New York Herald mentions as
i signal proof of the liberality, fore
t thought and enterprise of the moneyed
- men of England, the prompt subscrip
: tion of two and a half millions to that
- doubtful project,the Atlantic Telegraph;
t the building of another problematical
, concern, the Great Eastern, at a cost of
t two or three times that amount; the
, Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, con
i structed chiefly by English capital, tra«
> versing the Upper and Lower Provinces
s and connected by a splendid line of rail-
F roads with Portland, the American port
> of the Great Eastern ; and finally, the
■ project of a British Pacific line,connect
s ing with the Grand Trunk Railway ! A
i conception, worthy the colossal energy
i and capital of Great Britain, and which
> if each of the essential links in the gi
■ gantic plan prove practicable, will se
cure to Great Britain the commerce of
- the world,
Athens—Commencement—-Hotels, Ac.
On Sunday, August Ist, the Commence- j
ment exercises of the State University j
begin. It is a favorable period for vis
iting that interesting portion of the
State, ani we have no doubt large numj
hers will embrace that occasion as a stop
ping point in their summer wanderings.
The Hotels of Athens are unusually
large and agreeable—the Newton House
by Mr. Crawford,and the Lanier Houso,
' by Mr. Lanier, will afford elegant ac
commodations for several hundred per
sons, and we know of no place posses
-1 sing more attractions in the way of elite
! society, pure air and water, than the
town of Athens. Coaches run regu
larly to the Madison Springs, to Clarks
! ville, and the romantic regionsof North
’ Eastern Georgia. Let us go to Athens,
1 and if we can spare the time, let us
spend a week or two among the wild
shades of Currahee, Mount Yonah, and
the bounding cascades of Tallulah and
Toccoa.
j The Liquor Law.
Our indefatigable and energetic po
lice succeeded, on yesterday, in ferret
ing out some eight or ten flagrant vio
lations of law, by keepers of low grog
geries, in keeping open these •’sinks of
iniquity ”on the Sabbath day. Among
the number was a female called “Irish
Mollt," who has become somewhat
obnoxious to ber neighbors. It is to
be hoped that our police will not cease
their praise worthy exertions, until a
stop is put to this Sunday liquor traffic,
that is so demoralising in its effects
upon our servile population.
Hon. W. L. Yancey.
We see by our Alabama exchange that
this gentleman, on invitation, is de
livering addresses in different cities and
towns in Alabama, in behalf of the
Mount Vernon association. He was to
have delivered an address at Bellefort,
on the 24th inst. and was invited by the
Mayor and Aldermen of Florence to ad
dress the citizens of that place on the
28th. We are pleased to see Mr. Y ajjcey
engaged in this noble cause. He has
talent, is a beautiful speaker, and in his
hands any subject to which he gives his
attention, will be ably elucidated.
Billy Bowleos. —For the benefit of
the friends and admirers of this re
nowned individual, we append the la
test informotion received from him :
Col. S. M. Rctuerford, Seminole I
Agent, says the Fort Smith (Ark.) Her- j
aid, arrived here during the week from
his Agency. The Colonel has informed !
us that Billy Bowlegs and party were
well pleased with their new homes.
Four or five of the Indians died while

continues to rise very rapidly. In the
twenty-four hour 6 ending at 7 o’clock
last night, the water had come up fully
two feet, making a total rise for two
days of nearly 30 inches. There was
some rain early yesterday morning and
strong indication* of more soon. Busi

Having had an opportunity to test the value of
pared to say, that it fully makes good its recom
r ; mendations, by restoring to more than its orig
* inal lustre, hair that lias become gray, rr faded
* from age or disease. It will give the hair a soft
I and pliable texture, and what is of still greater
importance than that, it is restored to health :
. it imparts to the wide system its renovatiig,
I healing properties, and has a tendency to restore
s health and prolong life, and give to the aged the
appearance of youth. Its unequalled properties
ought to recommend it to every family. Try it,
. ye who labor under any disease of the nead, and
• you will never have to regret its application.
, Cautiox.—Beware of worthless imitations, as
r several are already in the market, called by dis
. ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St Louis.
I Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

|@” It is not generally con
ceded that Liver Omplaint, or a deranged state
of the Liver, is the cause of most of the summer
and bowel complaints that visit us during this
; season of the year.
; Yet some of our first Physicians consider the
.. Liver the principal cause of these diseases, or in
I other words, when it pei forms its functions
i properly it enables the system to resist or throw
j off diseases of the stomach and bowels, and
i whore they are deranged the surest cure is to
cure the Liver of its disease and cause it to per
! form its proper functions. There is nothing in
1 the whole world that so quickly stimulates the
! Liver to a proper performance of its functions as
j DR. SANFORD'S IJVER INVIGORATOR, which
almost instantly checks Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
any complaints of the bowels,
i The Invigorator acts as a gentle cathartic, yet
it checks all looseness of the bowels from the
time it is taken till the regular operation of the
medicine, some eighteen hours alter, when the
cause of the complaint is removed, the Liver is
invigorated, and health soon follows. The In
vigorator may be. taken with perfect safety in
all cases of Dysentery, as it has been tried and
used for years for such complaints by a largely
practicing physician. jlyS-lm
JIT The Great Pr obleni
Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack oi
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which atonce calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it arc unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hards of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect*upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
which is be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find immediate and permanent rellr f from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and UEfailiDg safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease us it exists, without re
ierence to the causes, and will not ody remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution
