the second bottle will, with carce a single failure restore the

physician who has used it in his practice for the past twenty
years with a success almost incredulous, aud that tt is entire

uSomeidea of the strong'h of these gums may be formed
when it is known one k botile of the Invigorator contains as
much strength as one hundred doses m Unlomel, without any
ot its deleterious effects.^
One bottle is the surest'thing known tq carry away the bad j
effects ot mineral poison of any kind.
Only one bottle is needed to throw out of the system the es- j
•’ectsot medicine after a long sickness.

Death of Ex-Secretary Marcy.
Now Yop.k, July -4. Hon. Wm. L Marcy, ex
Secretary of State, was found dead in Ids room at
Ballsion to day. He appeared to be in hi* usual health
in the morning.
Mr. Matey, for the lasi 30 years has been prominent
in the political history of the country, and his name
and services, therefore, must be familiar to our readers.
H was born in Stuibridge. Mass, on the 12th of
December 1786, and was consequent) ;? tie 71st year
of his age. He graduated with high honors at Brown
University, in Providence, R. I. in 1808, and soon al
ter entered upon the study, and sobseqoeuiiy upou the
practice of law. in Troy, N. Y. lie set ins to have
been fotmeii with an inevitable tendency towards poll
tics, tor we find shat he was active in the defence of the
foreign policy of .Jefferson and Madison, and that his
zeal in his respect tv as not in excos cf his ability —i
llis support <-f the measure* of the Government, more
over, whs not m rely the support of words ; but up. u ‘
the decimal!, dos war, lie turned out ra a volunteer, ;
and served with great aiulity and credit throughout the !
grtaier parr ol its eonDnuance. His first public office .1
was the R^s rot rsh pol the city of Troy, to which, he j
he was appo nu-d in 1816, He subsequently and sue j
cessivtiy filed the office of Adjutant General, Ccmp j
Holler, Associate .Justice of the Supteme and !
U.'S. Senator from the State of New Yotk. //e re
signed the latter t ftice in 1833, to accept that of Gov
ernor of iiia adopted State. He was twice elected to
tliia petition, but was defeated in 1838, and held again
no public office till he wag called to the Cabinet of Pres
ident Polk, in 1845, in the capacity of Secretary of
War. He resign*rl this office upon the accession ol
Gen. Taylor to the Presidency, and accepted the posi
tion ol S* c clary of State in the Cabinet of President
Pierce. He was also a prominent candidate, for the
Presidency before the Baltimore Convention.
This is the outline of the public life ol one, who is
acknowledged to have been one of the first men of our
time, llis *ame has be* n long before the pec pie j he
has had much to do with *>ur political achievements and
i we do ti* t now recollect any act of that character of
j weakness or hesitation, which should male the record
, of his Jifu a reproach in history. He was a model pol
itician. lie possessed in an eminent degree of devc!
opment and perfection, all iho requisites of shrewdness,
foresight, caution and tact, and withal considerable com
prehensiv* nesss of intellect, and as much honesty as is .
often given to politicians to enjoy—that enabled him to !
be a nit fit successful and admirable manager of men
and nieaeure . There was a conservatism in his habits
and methods of thought and action, which led him to
shun extremes, and in those perilous times which try
men’s t mperp, to preft-r that middle couise of action,
which men are generally and finally forced to adopt.—
Hence his counsels and advice were usually those that
prevailed ; and his influence was ever largely and wide-
I ly folt. He was a member of the famous “Albany Re
goncy,” which for a long lime was undetstood to cob
, rul the action of the Democratic party in New Yoik,
| and it need hardly be said that bia was one of the m;-.fl
ier spirits to whom this sobriquet was applied.
It is, perhaps, the best evidence of the perfeotners
of his character, as a politician, that he never appeared
to seek office. Whenever he whs culled to a public
position, either by election or appointment, it always
seemed lobe because he was the man for the position
—because no other would do as well as himself. It was
either because he was by his abilities and opinions pc
culiatly tit ed for the place, or because divisions or dis
sensions in ihe ranks of his party were to be united or
removed, and because there was the necessity tor some :
one who by his practice of conservatism could makes
middle ground upon which men of opposite and extreme |
: opinictiN could cm*'> together for uniit-d action. His !
Intel! etUid ab ltths and attainments were ol the First !
order. He was one of the very ablest political writers
‘< f the day, llis Ste papers, always characterized by
: logical atiength and acuteness* of argument, and by ;
great force and simplicity and elearmss <t style, arc i
model* of liitir kind. His management of the Kosta
business established his reputation as a first ra'e diplo j
nialist • while in his disposal ot the proposition for the
abolishment of privateering, he moat decidedly and tri
umphantly got the better of all the Fliutwinches nd
other ‘Shrewd ones” that composed the late Congress
at Paris But his later services and achievements are
yet fresh in the memory of our readers, and our space
admonish-s or to close our brief and imperfect sketch
of the public career of one who has been so closely con
nected with the late history >f our government.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist, 7th.
Gen. Walker in Augusta.
Gn Wm. Walker, President of the Republic of j
Nicaragua, reached this eit> e.n route from New York I
• to Nafhvilb, Term., on Saturday afternoon, ami took j
looms at tlit* Planters’ lioJel. Hits arrival though un i
; expected, was soon known throughout the city, and j
j crowds of our citizens proceeded to ihe Hole!, anxious |
jto look upon ihe man who has filled so large a space j
in the eye of the world for the last two \ears, to take j
| him by ihr hand, and to testify their interest in the |
cause n which be ie engaged, and their appreciation |
ot the gieai qualities which he haa exhibited, n his j
return kabb career. Al the earm-st solicitation of many J
of his visitors, Gen. Walker concluded to remain in tho ,
city a few s;*)ur, and logratify those who were anxious j
to hear him. consented to address the people. At j
I tight o'clock, ih appointed hour a larg*. crowd had i
! assembled tu front <f rite Hotel, (although the evening j
was inclement.) aud Gen. Walker having been eon- j
ducted to the balcony in front of the Hotel, was intro
; dueed by Col. Milltdge, and received with hearty and
l enthusiastic; chcets
The remarks which he made, occupied about hail
an hour in their delivery aud were frequently inter
rupttd by applause. Short, hurried and desultory, as
they necessarily were, they made a very*decided im
pression upon his auditory—-an impression attributable
to their directness and force, and to the complete iden
tification of the man who uttered them, with the cause j
which he advocated. Assuming that the future desti* I
ny *>f the Republic of Nicaragua, was an American
! question, oi vital interest to the people of this country,
; and ‘tid one consequently upon which he might, wiih
1 perfect propriety, addters an audience of American citi
zens upon a day constciated to the celebration of their
deolaratf. n **l independence, fit* proceeded rapidly to
sketch the Instoiy of occupation of Nicaragua by
! himselt and followers, giving an interesting relation of
; many ot the more important events which have Iran*-
; pired within that Republic in the iast two years; vin
! dealing the motives and the actions of those who were
1 engag* and wiih him; asserting that they landed io Ni
j caragjaby the invitation of the Democratic party, of
the country, and that they remained at the earnest en
tieaty of its people, to aid them in rescuing the Repub
lic fn rn the anarchy into which it had been plunged,
by the internecine strifes and incapacity ot its mongrel
ract-8 ; and challenging those -who denounced him ae a
freebooter and filibuster, to point to a single act of his,
in his witoie carter in Nicaragua, which was unjust in
itself,-or in contraveotmn of any Nicataguan, United
States, or international law'. He dwelt at some length
upon the com.se pursued by the northern press towards
him, which as he expressed it “recked with all the foul
calumirics ag inat himseif and his followers, which in
ventive brain could create,’’ and attribute*] its hostility
to the Fact that he had, as President of the Republic of
Nicaragua, issued a decree legalizing African slavery
within its limits. He remarked that he was a South
erner by birth and devoted to all the institutions of the
South, but that he never would have iseued that de
oree, unless he bad been convinced that upou the es
tablishment of slavery depended the stability of any
government which might be inaugurated in any of the
Spanish Am ioan Republics. Tina idea, he illustrated
by contrasting tin* condition of Cuba, where slavery
(established by the Catholic Priest, Latcasas, distin
guished for bis benevolence and philanthrophy) null
exists, with that of Jamaica, where the views of Wil
bcriurce aud Clarkson have been carried into practical
operation, by the abolition of slavery. The introdue
tiori of slavery into the Spanish American Republics,
h* contended, would end the long strife of their mon
grel races for supremacy give th- control of their af
fairs t a pure umnixed white race, and eventually se-
I cure them the blessings of free and stable institutions.
* With this view he had sought to tstablish it in Nioa-
I ragua—tor this—he hud been den< une* and by the north*
| eru preeg, aud he called upou the people of tin* South
| to disregard its calumnies and to sutGain him—that hi.-
! Cause was ••heir cause, as his success would he favorahh
j to the extension and perpetuation of th* ir institutions.
| Hi remarks w*re cut short, by a sudden fail of rain,
! and he retired from the balcony followed by the cheers
j of the crowd.
I In conversation, General Walker ixpi’tsscs his fixed
• determination to persevere in the cause in which he is
j embarkea, arid his confident hope that he will he en
| a bled t* return to Nicaragua, within the next two mouths,
j with tin- gortd will of the administration at Washington,
i and with men and money sufficient triumphantly to
| succeed in re-establishing his authority.
It is difficult in looking upon General Walker, to
j realize that he is the veritable General Walker who
j has occupied so much of the attention of llie world since
1855, and extorted the admiration even of his enemies,
; by the remarkable talents wbioh he has exhibited in his
; romantic career. In lace and figure he is utterly in
i significant and unmarked. There is no remarkable
i dignity or impressiveness in his address, no remarkable
I inhliigenee in his face, no emotion in his countenance
jat any time, and no speculation in his eye. lie is sim
! ply a short, slight man, with light hair, grey eyes, and
j a placidity which cannot be ruffled. it is difficult to
| realize that this small man is the General Walker who
has borne so prominent a part in the important events
which have occur ted in Central America within the
last two years ; who has organized expeditions—inau
/ guraud governments—created and maintained armies—
led them to v ctory, contioiled turbulent and lawless
I men by his dogmatic and imperious will.
Gen. Walker left the city on Sunday.morning train
| for Atlanta, on his way to Nashville, where he will
! spend a few days with his father.
Letter from Lawrence M. Keitt—Kansas.
We find in the Richmond Examiner of the 3d inst, a
letter from Lawrence M. Keitt. We extract that part of
it relating to Kansas. It will be read with interest.
The policy of Governor Walker in Kansas I have de
nounced, and shall continue to denounce aud oppose. That
policy I believe to be in violation of the organic act crea
ting the territorial government; in violation ol the Presi
dent’s inaugural ; and that its inevitable tendency is to sub
sidize Kansas into a Freesoil State, through the hot influ
ences of dishonest intrigue and the manipulations of an
official demagogue.
Was it a part ol Governor Walker’s official duty to
court the loud caresses of a profligate Freesoil rabble ? or
was he instructed to grimace to Abolition rebels from the
hustings at Topeka ? What right had he to take sides with
one of the parties in the territory, or to dictate to and
threaten the Convention ? Is Congress subject to, or the
Convention under the authority of the federal appointee 1
II not, w hat authority has he to declare what Congress will
do , and the Convention must do
Governor Walker’s duty in Kansas was to impartially
administer the laws ; and not to beg, bribe, (by land grants
or otherwise,) or bully at or to the polls. The case is a
plain one. The territory of Kansas had been organized,
the territorial Legislature had been recognized, and its laws
pronounced valid and obligatory. Among these laws was
one calling a convention of *he people to frame a coiistitu
| lion for admission into the Union as a State, aud around
; this law was thrown all ihe safeguards, restrictions and pro
| visions which were deemed necessary oi proper. Now,
i what was Gov. Walker’s concern with this matter ? On
ly to see the law’ executed. What rights were the parties
invested with l The right to register and vote. Was it
Governor Walker's duty to order them to register and vote ?
With all liis proconsular airs, had he a right to make them
cither register or vote ? if any neglected or refused to re
gister or vote, was it not their concern, and only their eon
| cern ! Was Gov. Walker, wilt the insignia oi his office
; around him, to heat the bnMi, and wriggle through Kansas ,
i to coax, wheedle or drag Freesoilers to the registry office
lor the polls l When competent authority has defined the
qualifications of suffrage, aud made every provision for its
exercise, has it not done all which a government should do
in the matter ? Is not any lurther interference by an exec
utive officer, partizan intermeddling ?
It is admitted by Gov. Walker, that those who neglect
or refuse to vote, acquiesce in the decision of the majority
ol those who do vole, and make that decision their own as
completely as if they had voted. When the Freesoilers,
then, in Kansas neglected or refused to register or vole lor
delegates to the Convention, did they not legally accept
those delegated as much as if they hod voted for them ?
Are they not as much bound by the acts ot the Convention
as if they had voted ? II this neglect or refusal then to
vote was equivalent to the adoption of the result of the ma
| jority of those who did vote, what could Gov. Walker
seek to accomplish by his official rambles through the ter
: ritory, and his passionate appeals to the Freesoilers to vote ?
; It could be no more, and no less, than ihe reversal of the
j decision about to be had , and, as that was clearly pro-sla
| very, he must have been seeking an anti-slavery result.
! It will not do to say that Gov. Walker’s object was
| conciliation. ‘The Administration and Congress, had re
j cognized the Territorial Legislature and its laws, and for
j cible resistance to them was rebellion. With anything
| short of iorcible resistance he had nothing to do. Was he
J sent to tiie territory to abdicate the government in a com
! promise with lebels? Or was it his duty to solicit from
| Free-soiler.t their acquiescence to the laws? If they ac
quiesced, it was no concern of his—if they rebelled, the
j bayonet was the remedy.
But Gov. Walker also declares that the Convention, af •
I ier it frames a Slate Constitution for Kansas, must refer it
| back to all those who may bo in the country at that time,
| in order that it may be ratified or rejected. Is this neces
| -ary ? The Constitutions of one hall ol the Status of the
Union have never been referred to the votes ol the people
j of those State* ; and yet those Constitutions have never
; been supposed io possess less ot 6anciity or legitimacy than
J those which have been so referred. Is this idea of reter-
I eucc back to the people founded in a tiue theory ? Organ
j lzed sovereignly is the supreme authority known to public
j and statute law. Under our system, this organized sover
eignty resides m convention. A convention is the embod
ied majesty of the people, and all other powers are either
suspended by or subordinate to it. A reference then from
it to any oiher power is a reference from a greater to a
less. The individuals in a community are less as molecu
-I®, then as an aggregate—or as an organized unit. A con
vention is ail tiie people, and all the people in their highest
conceivable political capacity An act of sovereignty car
ries with it its highest ratification. This theory of referring
an aet back from conventions to individuals at the ballot
box flis of French red-republicau growth. It is founded in
the idea that individuals in their separate are above them
selves in i heir aggrogate character ; and that the mere units
i in a community are above the whole aggregate of the com
; munity, massed into one grand and final political whole.
Some of the ablest expounders of this theory were some
of the sans culotte philosophers of France in * , 9B,*’ and
others may be found more recently among the Socialists
and Red Republicans.
The object of Gov. Walker in referring the Constitution
back to the vote ol all who may be in Kaniasat the time
of tlu reference, is obvious Enough. ine Convention
frames a Constitution for Kansas, as Kansas is at the time.
Those who subsequently go to Kansas, go there as they
would go into any other of the States of the Union. They
must obey the laws, and il they do not like them, they
must change them in the mode prescribed. The Conven
tion embodies the sovereignty of Kan&as and that covers
all who aie in the Territory and it is immaterial wheth
er they were there when the delegates to the Convention
were elected, or whether they came afterward. They are
just as much represented in the Constitution of Kansa.- as
they would be in that of any State in the Uuion into which
they came after the adoption of its Constitution, ‘i he
reference of the Constitution back to the popular vote is, I
hold, uncalled for. But its reference to any,other than the
qualified voters is debauchery, They were the only agency
competent to organize the State, and they are the only
political elements known in the act of .oigauizing it. Un
til the organization is complete aud settled, they are the
only source of power. To make it otherwise is to make, a
Constitution as fickle and mutable as mere statute It is,
in fact, to have no organic act or law. If those who come
upon the soil, in the interval between the election of de.e
gates to a Convention and tiie framing of the Constitution,
have a right to ratify or reject that instrument, why shall
not those who come in tiie next year, or the year thereafter,
have the same right | They w ill be e<p ally subject to its
provisions, and this great right should no more be denied to
them than to the others This tfteory Unset Wes society and
degrades all lundamental law. it is the offspring of French
and Northern society ; not of Fnglish o: Southern society.
II belongs to a turbulent society, w here ihe wholesome re
straints of law are impaired, without the development of
individuality. Aud in France it culminated in a revolution
to divide property, and struggled on until it was pressed
back into the gutter by the bayonet.
Gov. Walker can only urge the right of the intermediate
settlers in Kansas in order to make Kansas a freesoil State.
I will not believe Mr. Buchanan an accomplice in this poli
cy without sufficient proof, ll there be any complicity,
however, my denunciations will be none the less earnest.
The Resolution of the Democratic party of Georgia, in
j[TERMS. $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
Convention at MiliedgeviMe, a few days ago, on the Kansas
policy of Gov. Walker, exnresses my own views clearly
enough. The Administration should absolve itself from
Walker’s treachery. It will do so, 1 am sure, unless it
means to be responsible for it.

The Great Eastern Going to Portland, Maine—The
Meaning of It.
The wuoiuga of our Ariautic cities are brought to an
abrupt conclusion by tl.o official onuouucemeni of the fi
nal determination ol that woudroUs belle, the Great
Easiern, to accept the proposals of Portland, and to take
bed and board with the Down Eastern swain.
AL\ Dudley Maun, is not quite disconsolate at the Bad

Southern Slates iu behalf oi b,s scheme ; nut we fear
that disappointment lurks in his heart, aud that his zeal
is unequal to the task of compassing his plans now that
ho is rest of his first love.
Mr. Ballard Preston, w'ho was to go out on a proxy
courtship to ihe royal damsel, finding his hopes thus
nipt in the bud, his occopuiiuu gone, the bird flown, the
girl wedded away, may not think it advisable tU|Couticue
his journey, and will probably defer further proceedings
until s/me young sister of the betrothed shall come upon
tiie c n pet, a candidate for his solicitations.
We are not inclined to repine al the loss of the Great
Eastern. The time of our cities is not yet come. We
are not yet in communication wiih the a single
continuous line oi transportation. When the links of
Railroad which are wanting to connect us respectively
with Tennessee, with Kentucky, and with the Oh o river,
shall have been completed ; when our railways to the
York River, to Norfolk, and through North Carolina to
Greenesboro’, shall have been p.Heeled ; then we shall
be able to sustain any movement of the sort contempla
ted by Mr. Mann, wi h ease Meantime, we can ooly
prepare fr the gala day of commerce, and like youthful
beaux long for the era of courtship and Hymen.
The Great Eastern goes to Portland, of couise. The
keen observer of * vents could have div oed that she
would from the first. Are our ryes yet to be opened to
ihe commercial projects ol Great Britain In the North*
west ? Are we American gudgeons enough not to have
detected her policy long ago ? l ake ihelaUel maps, and

Meauwhile, there arc the great continuous railways from
Chicago to Monireal, and from Montreal to Portland,

granted without an equivalent, and for which she would
have given us our own way forever with Cuba, Central
America and all the continent to our southward, if we
had had the gumpti n to ask it as a sine qua non.
Who wouid believe that Chicago, the leading grain
market ol the world, already presumes to measure re
sources with New York, and to boast that the end of
the century will find her forward of that city in popula

that her dream will not be realized ? Would it be cred

important responsibilities which he has assumed the most
essrMiai qualities lor success in the delicate, and even dan
gerous, mis>ion which has been confided to him.
