We have recently heani several old dem ocrats. now styling themselves, Union men, who have grown gray in the service of de mocracy,and who have been bountifully fed, in days gone by. at its table, loudly railing against Mr. Jefferson; denouncing as ab surd, disorganizing, and impracticable, his principles; ridiculing the qualified sover eignty of the States as taught in the Virgin ia and Kentucky resolutions; and repudi ating the right of secession.

Ritchie, Et«> This veteran editor, delivers a valedictory address in the Union of the loth instant, to his patrons and friends. For forty-seven years iie ha< wielded his pen in the columns of a political newspaper. Of the ability of Mr. Ritchie, as a political writer, vve need not speak, his fame is as wide as his coun try. His extensive political knowledge, energy, enthusiasm, fortitude, vivacity of spirits, and never flagging zeal in behalf of Democracy, have attracted the eyes of a great party to him as the champion of their creed. Whatever errors he may have com mitted. by a wrong estimate of men and a false confidence in their political honesty, he has never proven treacherous to the great tepubliean principles, the basis of the Jeffersonian creed. In his parting address, we find an appeal to the Democracy to unite upon that time honored creed. The old veteran of a dozen Presidential cam paigns speaks, to use his own words, as it were, from his political death bed; the De mocracy should listen to his parting words; For tbe Federal Uoiou. No. 1. THE UNITED STATES—THE OLD PATHS —THE GOOD WAY. ‘•Stand ye in the ways and see. and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest.’’ These are alike the words of in spiration, and of common sense; God grant that I may not have cause to add with the prophet, ‘But they said. We will not enter therein!” I in'end. in a series of short numbers, to present to the consideration of my fellow citizens, some matters of the utmost importance, trusting that they will give to them a dispassionate consideration. Seventy-five years ago, the representatives of the United States ol America; in General Congress as sembled. appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for tn* rectitude of their intentions, did’, in the name and by the authority of the good people of the colonies, solemnly publish and declare that the united colonies were, and of right ought to be free and in dependent states. To maintain this declaration, they waged a protracted war. which resulted in an ac knowledgment by His Britannic Majesty, that the United States were -free, sovereign and indepen dent states.’ Finding that the Articles of Confederation, formed during the war, and which had been adequate lo their purposes during the revolutionary struggle, were not suited lo the state of peace which followed; find ; - r 1-0 . i not suueu iu iiicmuic ui [Jtfuru which luuuvveuj niiu* diiiate for Governor.

Keeping this general , distinction in view, the constitution has marked 1 down the limits of the federal power, and it should be j the duty of its authorities religiously lo presetve , them. Dissolution on the one hand and consolida tion on the other being the extremes which are io be carefully avoided, the constitution was so framed and the government should be so administered, as. whilst out of darkness, and order out of confusion; the government, and the country, received an impetus j which has not yet passed away. ’Tis true, that the ! administration oi Washington had its difficulties, but j he met them like a man: and they fled before the man. ; The administration of the elder Adams followed; I and this again wasdisplaced by that of Mr. Jefferson. ! In the meantime, two great parties had sprung up, which, under various names, hrve continued to di- ' vide, sometimes to distract, the country, by their con- j tinned dissensions. Modified by various circuin- j stances, and occasionally blending to a greater or less j extent with each other, the great body of each has 1 the other.— ; her part for the present, that end can, and will soon be peaceably attained by a change of the constitution, through the in strumentality of new States to be admitted from the Territory made by the Com promise. We have before said, and vve again repeat it, the South and her institutions have never been in such imminent jeopardy as at the present moment. She is standing on the verge of a fearful precipice, and what renders her situation most appalling, is the fearful truth, that the masses of her people are unconscious of the danger. They are listening to the syren song of peace, peace, l ttion. Union,when the train is already laid, that only needs to be ignited to spread tuiti and devastation every where around them. Demagogues, plotting for office, are beguil ing them into their meshes, when the ear nest inquiry of each and all should be, what shall we do to meet the coming storm and secure ourselves and our families from im pending danger. What matters it who is made Governor or President, if within less than twenty yeats the fair fields of the South shall be made desolate? That the South is in danger is no idle phantom. Would that it were. Who can mistake tbe signs of the times? Who can fail to see that the North is determined, in the lan guage of one of her actors, that the day shall not be distant, when on American soil, ‘ the sum shall not rise upon a master nor set upon a slave?” Who does not know that the North will soon have the power to ac complish this result; and that having it, she will not hesitate to exercise it? Virginia, by the late action of her legis lature, seems to be preparing for the ap proaching storm. She knows that such is the nature of her soil and climate, that she can live and prosper without her slaves.— She is driving her free negroes from her borders, and selling her slaves to her more Southern neighbors. This class of her pop ulation will be strewn upon the States sou republican platform. They nave then no claim to this title. What then are they? What but federalists? Lynch Law in California.

But in a thousand ways the press is ofines- timabie importance to the people. It should, of, course, be a profession of high honor to those who officiate at its fountain It would certainly be one ofthe most dignified pursuits in society if it were conducted in the spirit which becomes its importance —with talent, independence, a gentlemanly liberali ty, and with a decency and a courtesy which are due from one editor to another. I have often asked the question. How can editors expect the respect of the world, if they do not show some respect for each other? No man knows better than the retiring edi tor of the Union the difficulties, the sacrifices, the drudgery which attend the profession; and yet it be comes you to overcome them till when your duty re quires it. You must, therefore, carry into your task an indomitable spirit which quails under no di fficulty.

I have i “The galled Jade winces.” Our neighbor very flatly washes his hands of the policy of Mr. Cobb’s organ, the Southern Banner, which is to make the sev eral States subsidiary to the Federal head. The Recorder tteed not attempt lo stave off the real issue, by offering as a substitute one less objectionable to the people, unless it is prepared to abandon Mr. Cobb, who has already received the nomination for Govern or, if any confidence is to be placed in the Banner's loving declarations. The Banner has raised the issue in a long and carefully In nur profession, gentlemen, there is a necessity for great cnrriry of character—for much endurance a* well as much exercise. I go further. Energy is not a sufficiently strong word. The tine secretof success in every business is enthusiasm I would especially frankly recommend to you a careful at tention to your finances; hut in this respect let my course be a warning, and not an example to yon.— In making these suggestions. I give von the result of a long experience, dearly enough bought. South of her and when the tug shall come, she will be prepared like Maryland and Del- P re P ared ar 'i cl6 ’ xvh,c .l' r we have . la,d as,(le aware to unite her fortunes with those of her Northern neighbors. We ask the peo ple of Georgia to ponder over the views here suggested. If they do not think of them Dow, they will soon be forced to re flect upon them, and when reflection will be too late. We ask them too, no longer to confide in political demagogues, who in se for future reference. We are ready to enter the lists, not in the least doubting the re sult of the contest will be in favor of State Rights, and against the advocates of a con solidated Government.

The country demands their ! commenced, a trot over the track will mtry the slakes. But a? a party movement, ibis “Union” orguiiza- tion strikes us as an absurdity. Like Fox’s “broad bottomed Administration,” it is made up ofthe most heterogenous materials.—without any practical prin ciples. Nobody believes that the Union is going to be dissolved. The Government is going to go on as it alwajs has. Such being the case, we most deter mine measures of policy for its adoption. These are the proper organized principles of parties, and only upon these can we divide. The country must fall hack upon its old division into Whigs and Democrats. The leaders of this new movement know this, and ; they oesire lo get strength now, to be used >n that j way hereafter. Such being the case, though we are as good Union men as they, we will not go with them, but will adhere lo the old Democratic Party of the South, which was always a Union party and a j Southern Rights party at the same time. It is now neither dead nor sleeping, but will rouse itself to vic tory in in the coming elections, despite the Secession ists on the one hand, and the Whig-Unionists on the other. The above is the language ofthe Mobile entertained “an early aud uniform disrelish of the doctrine of nullification, as maintained by the ruling ; party in a sister state.” Opinions equally visionary and alarming seein 1 now to be entertained on the subject of secession.— f As a revolutionary remedy; a remedy above and he I yond the consiilution; to be resorted to in cases jus- \ ifying a resort to force; few, if any, will deny it:— ! as a remedy consistent with the constitution, ma- j ny will deny it. It is; better oti these subjects to I understand ourselves, and to let others understand j us. If vve intend lo rely upon the Constitution, we j should say so; If nullification, secession. Arc., are on- ■ Iv different species of revolution, %ve should so con sider them. We should neither deceive ourselves, nor others: the young, the ardent, and the inexperi enced, especially, should not he deluded into crime and danger. In relation to all these matters, 1 in tend to make faithful inquiry, and to publish the re sults. In relation lo some of these topics, at least in relation to secession, my opinion may not be as well matured as desirable; hut uiy uniform impression lias been unfavorable. In vain, as it appears to me, have we repudiated “the doctrine of nullification, as un derstood in a sister State,” if we are to receive the doctrine of secession, as understood in that State: — but this view would not prevent a resort to that remedy, in cases justifying .m appeal to arms. Ev en Carolina, notwithstanding her doctrines, does not consider nullification and secassion as peaceable;— when she resolves on either, she prepares for :car. INQUIRER. April 7, 18ol.

This Union movement brags well—its dis play of colors is imposing, but exam ine it, and you find it, like the Priest found his nut, when he attempted to show off the orthodoxy of the Catholic faith by its Ten Thousand Dollars for the Recovery of, a Slave.—The Boston Transcript of Wed- ^ nesday, says: “It is estimated that the ex- \ penses attending the case are little, if any I below 81,000 per day, and it is probably an open question as to ‘who pays,’ whether the owner of Sims, who has already paid 8300 for his agent to come on, the United States, or the City Government. Besides the po lice force, there will be a large bill of ex penses for the military.” We believe Sims was arrested on Thurs day, the 3d inst.—he sailed from Boston on Saturday, the 12th. If we count these dates inclusive, it gives nine days, at an expense of 81,000 per day; add the payment of the agents, and other expenses, and we have tiie handsome sum of $10,000. Who is to foot the bill? It would be hard for Mr. Pot- ! ter to have to do it—the people of Boston contents, rotten.

Mr. Schley was born in Maryland, in 1791, tnd came to Savannah when 11 years old. H was appointed Po9tma9ter of this city by John Q,uincy Adams, which office he held through all successive administra tions until the present time. Mr. Schley was remarkable for uprightness and probi ty of character, strictness arid faithfulness in the discharge of his official duties, and for frankness and fidelity in his social and Business intercourse with his fellow citi- No man in this community enjoyed in a higher degree the confidence and es teem of men of all classes and ali parties, or exerted a more certain or widely extended influence. His health had been failing for several years, and though his friends were in a measure prepared for the sad result, his death has caused a profound sensation in this community, by whom his loss will be deeply felt and deplored. We hope that an extended obituary of the deceased will be prepared by some one of his numerous friends; whose long and in timate acquaintance with him will enable the writer to do justice to his exemplary character. It will be seen by the notice in another column, that the funeral of Mr. Schley will take place at 1 o’clock this afternoon.—Sav. News. whatever «poo the sound flesh.

M., in front ofthe Capitol Dr. Gilbert performs, almost every day, some op- | ,v t nirrvirx eration in the removal of tumors and cancers, any one of which would be sufficient capital and reputa- tiou for most physicians A few days ago we wit nessed a horrible cancer in the breast of a highly re spectable widow lady, which has been growing for two years past It caused ns, as it did all present, great pain, to see a lady so afflicted, w ith an appa- j rently incurable disease, so pronounced bv the regu- 1 lar (acuity. The Doctor assured os, however, that \ the case was quite an easy one, and he shonld restore j the lady to her friends, cured. We watched the pro-j gres? of his operations. By the application of ono plaster wo noticed the gradual separation of the tu mor, and at last, by another, it was drawn out with- I out any pain to the patient. It proved to be a large t excrescence, nearly the size of inan’sfist. We have j seen the lady since, and she is doing exceedingly well, j and will depart, in a few days, for her distant home, 1 which she will once more gladden with her presence, j entirely restored to health and happiness. There | may he some humbug about this—some of the reg- : ular Doctors declare that it is—but. whilst in matters ’ of this sort we are open to conviction, we should be worse than the unbelieving Thomas, if we lailed to ; declare what we have seen, and what so deeply con- | cerns humanity at large. These things are done by Dr. Gilbert, in open dav-tiglit; everybody is invited to see them, and if there is any humbug or delusion | about his pretensions, other physicians have not j troubled themselves much to expose or confute j them. From iheN. O. Delta, March 22. Successful Opf.ratioh.—The very difficult case | referred to by us dav before yesterday, of a long pro- ■ traded cancer, which had defied the skill and science of many regular physicians, was operated on by Dr. i Gilbert, in the presence of several highly respecta- ; ble gentlemen. The patient is a gentleman of the ! name of Hollis, from Monroe county, Georgia. The cancer originated thirty years ago. and has been growing with great rapidity and virulence for tbe last two years, until it had eovered one-half of the face on the right side. Mr Hollis came here to consnlt Dr. Gilbert, accompanied by his regular physician. Yesterday the cancer was removed by Dr- Gilbert without anv cutting, and exhibited to the persons as sembled. It was of frightful size The operation lasted about two minutes, and gave the patient no pain. Several of our leading citizens witnessed it. and expressed themselves surprised at the results.

His friends re ceived him with a loud shout of welcome.— He denounced the Anti- Bentonists in the severest terms, arid said that they had gone over body and soul to the Whigs, and that portion ofthe democracy who had stood by him would have to fight the Whigs and Anti-Benton men combined. He said that those who had deserted the democratic par ty were for oliice, and never came back, and he instanced, Aaron Burr and Henry Clay as two memorable examples. Col. Benton said that the fight for the redemption of Missouri had to commence then and there in St. Louis—they had to go into the contest heart aud soul, and w hether victorious or not •would fight it to the end. It was a bitter contest, but whether conquerors or not, the proper course was to fight on boldly and ieridessly. He enlisted to the end. Freaks of Philanthropy.—A few days since the papers contained the account of the death of a man in a Boston jail, who had been put in there for some paltry debt.— He was a man of education, a graduate of one of New England’s colleges. Yet he •w&s a white man, and a merciless creditor enforced, not the fugitive law. but the law for the collection of debts, put him in jail, where he lingered, and finally died of con sumption in the felons cell. We heard of no rescue, or attempt to rescue/ Oil Saturday the telegraph informed us that a black man named Sims was arrested, charging him with being a fugitive slave.— There was danger, not of his being put in jail and lingering as the white debtor had lingered, but there was danger of his being sent back to the South from whence he had escaped, under the provisions of the fugi tive law. This case excites to madness the men who had stood by and seen the white man die in prison for debt. They fly to gether. The country i9 alarmed, Meet ings are held in the neighboring towns, and resolutions are passed denouncing the law under which this arrest is made, and offer ing their services to release all black men by force of arms, and to trample the laws of the Union under foot to accomplish this purpose!

A Physician’s Testimony. LETTER FROM DR. WALLACE. To Dr. S. Gilbert: Dear Sir—I feci iua duty to suffering humanity, to give mv opinion to the public, as it regards your skill and success in the treatment of such diseases as you profess to cure. Mr. Hollis, of Georgia, has for the last thirty years been troubled with an affection on his face like tetter, from which a sore was formed, which terminated in cancer of the most malignant character. He was treated by many of the faculty of Georgia; he had also had the use of botanic treat- mentr which also failed. By this time, tbe whole jaw. part of the lips, and up to th- ear. was one en tire tumor, extending to the carotid artery. In this hopeless condition, he desired use to accompany him to New Orleans, to consult you. No one thuughthe could ever return home alive; he says himself he had no idea of returning, and would not have left home: but his suffering was beyond endurance,and he might as well die traveling for relief. You told Mr. Hollis and myself that his case was nearly hopeleea, and that it was very doubtful whether a cure could be effected. After he was put under treatment, t* nsy astonishment the remedies you applied pursued the cancerous portion, without having any attest paying the last tribute of affection and respect to the memory of Dr. John L. But rs. J. W„ of this Lodge, who departed this life, at his residence, in Hancock County, Ga-, on the 11th inst. in the 30th year of his age. After depositing the body in the grave with the usual Masonic ceremonies, the Lodge re assembled, when the following preamble aud resolutions were presented, and passed unanimously. Whereas, it has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to remove from the labors of earth, in the prime of life, and the midst of his usefulness, our . highly esteemed and worth. Bro. Jonn L. Butts, J. w., of this Lodge, and as the high respect we entertain ; for his memory, demands an expression of feeling on this occasion. Be it therefore unanimously Resolved. That we deeply deplore his death as a Brother of our Order, a friend and a neighbor, and feel that in him, Virtue.JBenevolencc. Temperance and Justice, have lost an untiring advocate—oui be- . loved Institution one ofits most zealous and exem- ! plary members, and onr own Lodge one of ijs bright- | est ornaments—that wedeeply deplore and sincerely : lament the irreparable 'oss of and the heavy affliction | sent upon his young and bereaved widow, his surviv ing parent and his brothers and sisters, and while we mingle our tears with theirs, we won! I comfort them with the humble hope, that, through “Faith in God, j Hope in immortality, and Charity to all mankind,” he was “duly and truly prepared” for translation to the “Celestial Lodge above, where the Supreme Architect of theJUniverse presides.” In testimony of our grief, we, the members of Daniel Lodge. No. 85, i agree to wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and order that the Chair of J. W., the jewels I and furniture of the Lodge Room be clothed in the j habiliments of mourning for the same space of time. | Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions ! be handed to the widow and surviving parent of onr ■ deceased Brother—and that they be also forwaided to the editors of the Masonic Journal. Marietta, Ga.,and ter; as. for instance, consumption, or liver affections, dropsy oi rheumatism (see Balsam of Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla advertisements for example.) Sci entific medicine holds that one remedy is to cure only such affections as are similar or analogous, and cou- sequentlv there must be different diseases. Quack ery holds that one remedy is sufficient for all or ma ny disorders, whether analogous or not. Without a patent or a guaranty of any kind from government, and none ought to be wanted. Dr. Lit tle has found it absolutely necessary, in conducting an extensive DRUG BUSINESS, to have a few Pharmaceutical Medicines prepared for family use, that are really good, if not in advance of any ofthe day. Some of these compounds are entiaely new, whilst others are an improvement apon tbe old plan. They are prepared in the best manner from select medicines, and are prescribed for such maladies aa they will assuredly cure, or are very likely to do ao, and for no others. And from tbe fact that he has been enabled to cure a great many cases with them, that other physicians had failed in. as well as that they are now extensively recommended by many, he doubts not but that they are not only superior, but rarely equalled from any quarter. To illustrate, wh-rever the Anodyne Coufii Drop* and Vermifuge have been well tried, and it ta the case in many places not only individuals but whole neighborhoods are ready ta vouch for tho nnparalled suceess of them. In no less degree of success, however, have the Dyspep tic Medicines, Ringworm and Tetter Ointment, and the French Mixture, been used, but they are not ao often wanted. HEMORRHAGE OF THE LUNGS.
