Secondly, the Know-Nothings had the
entire anil complete control of tire L^g-
i-latnrf of Mas-achu-etis, every mem
ber but tw-o of them being of that O-der.
Thirdly, Getr. Wilson was recognized as
the leader of the Abolitionists of r hat Srate,
and 8s such, one of the most obj- ct-.nimble
men in tire State to the South. Under all
rhese circumstai ces, the election of Wilson
as U. S. Senator is positive demonstration,
that the Know-Nothings are nothing more
nor less than Abolitionists under another
name. Le' the people of Georgia remem
ber that Mussachuseel* is the head quarters
of the Know Nothing society; it is from that
source that orders are issued, anil ihe com
mauds sent forth that set all the Know-
Nothing wheels irr motion. It was to Mas
sachusetts that Georgia Whigs appealed, as
the true exponents of ’he Order; and these
are the frutrs of a Know-Nothing victory,
the exaltation of one of the vilest of Aboli
tionists to a seat in the Serrate of the U. S.

Law* should be repeated. Now that there shoo'd tie
law regulating interest is obvious to every one; but :
any law, cs!l it by whatever name you please, that !
prohibit-a man from charging and receiving, or in j
other words selling his money at whatever price he j
pleases, is radically wrong and repugnant lo the prill- j
ciples of sound policy
What is a man’s money? Ir is property, or lo he j
more accurate, il is bis medium of exchange—that |
which we give in exchange for lhai we desire —
The mind perceives at once the thousand ways, mil- |
lions of ways, by winch it can be used lo ihe satisfac- I
lion of a mail’s desires. There is nothing that capi-j
ital. labor ami natural agents can produce, but what
will be given in exchan*e tor money Then, if this
natural money he so valuable, why. in the name, of
good sense justice and policy, should not its owner
sell it for"as lunch as be can get for it. It is said
that allow a man to charge and receive whatever per
centum he wishes and he would consult avarice more
than humanity—take advantage of nis fellow man's
necessities and oppress him still more. The-ets more
plausibility than good sense in such reasoning. Men
are often greatly in need of food and raiment, and ac
cording to the rea-ontng of the advocates of the usury
law, a law should be passed prohibiting men—firm rs
if yon please -from selling their corn, meal. &c ,
for what they can get for it. and the merchant trom
Reltiny his goods at such a price as he may think prop
er. You see al once that when the princ^tle that is
contended for would rule, it would lead to hicnnceiv
able mischief If il he improper and wrong for the
Legislature lo interfere in the one case, as I presume
all w ill admit, il would, for the same reason be im
proper for it to interfere in the other. Mar mg spoken
briefly ol the justice of the subject let us look at it,
also briefly in a poliuea! aspect The effect that the
prohibition of receiving above a given per centum,
has upon the wealth ol a country. As has been before
stated (here are three agents used—and must be used
—in the production of wealth, capital, labor and until
ral agents. Money is the principal element of the first
aren't Without it production is impossible. Men
must have it The labor of man, ami ihe ram, and
sunshine of heaven would never of ihem«elve« pro
dure wealth Now suppose the demand for money
were fo become so great, and ihe supply so limned,
that it would be worth more than the lawful per cen
tum 7 per centum if vow please, that being Ihe legal
rate in Georgia—what, in tha- event, would conscien
linos men do? Men who did not wish lo violate the
law of thsir country They would employ their
money in mtenJed improvements, in manufactures,
and a thousand other ways. Thus von see how the
wealth of a nation would be seriously affected by the
industrious men not being able, on account of Legis
iative interference, tu obtain one of the agents
of production. These are my views concisely slated
upon all laws inhibiting a man from asking and re
ceiving whatever he may think proper for his money
Il is line that the law m iking power in all the Stales,
with one or two exception*, have erred, if I lie right;
still i cannot but be firmly convinced that my views are
founded upon those great princ pies of justice and
propriety which should reign in every body politic —
In thi* I am sustained by several eminent political

Every soman should know that if she is in poor, sickly,
debilitated condition of health, making existence a harden
to herself snd s source of painful anxiety to her relatives
■ad friends, and perhaps, (horrible rejection!) entailing
and Inflicting her own msiadies and sufferings upon htr
children, that It is her duty to understand why and from
what cause her sufferings arise, that remedy and relief
may, While yet there is time, be availed of, the causes be
avoided in future, and her health restored, that she may
be fitted for the duties and capable of the enjoyments of
life.
Let every woman look at the emaciated form, the death
like complexion, the deep-burled, lustreless eye, the sunk
en cheek, Yhe gloomy and depressed spirits, the shattered
turves, the prostrate and helpless condition of many a
wife, mother, daughter, or sister, if not herself included,
within her own circle, whose days are days of agony, and
ask herself, “Must this continue? Must this be? Is-
there no remedy ? No relief? No hope ?”
The remedy is by knowing the causes and avoiding
them, and knowing the remediei and benefiting by them.
These are pointed out in
THE MARRIED WOMAN’S
PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY DR. A. M. MAURICEAU,
raoRssoa or diseasto or wonsn.
One hundredth Edition (500,000). lSmo., pp. 250.
[oa rm rAraa, extra sixdiso, tl 00.]
Rvery complaint to which a woman is • object, from girl
hood to womanhood, as also as wife and as mother, are ful
ly described, with the causes, the symptoms, and also pro
per mode of treatment, In a plain, simple, bat in the most
chaste language, easily understood. And thus every wo
man can discover, hy comparing her own symptoms with
those described, the nature, character, and causes of her
complaint; and be spared much anxiety and suffering.
The wife about becoming a mother has often need of
instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her
future health, in respect to which her sensitiveness for
bids consulting a medical gentleman, will find such in-
•traction and advice, and also explain many symptoms
which otherwise would occasion anxiety or alarm.
How many are suffering from obstructions or irregulari
ties peculiar to the female system, which undermine the
health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and for
which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice ? How
many suffer from prolapsus uteri (falling of the womb),
or from J?nor albus (weakness, debility, Ac.)? Hswmanv
are in constant agony for many months preceding confine
ment ? How many have difficult, if not dangerous deliv
eries, and slow and uncertain recoveries ? Some whose
lives are hasarded during such time, will each find in its -
pages the means of prevention, amelioration and relief.
How many bitter moments, how much anguish, might
have been spared to the sufferer, ta her husband, to her
relatives, by the timely possession of this little volume.
It is Impracticable to convey fully the various subjects
treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended ror
the married, or those contemplating marriage.
But no husband, wife or mother are excusable if they
•tin continue in ignorance of those physiological laws, by
the knowledge of which their own health and happiness,
as also the future well-being of their children, are secured.
