How Beautifully She Kipplcs!
Wednesday last was a memorable day for
Newnan on two accounts. Ist. Because
that day was set apart for fasting and pray
er, when business houses were closed, caus
ing our streets to look lonesome and dreary.
2d. Because, at about three o’clock, p. in. t
on that day a large number of the town men
and citizens met. on the public square for the
purpose of hoisting the old colonial flag of
Georgia, on a pole some eighty or ninety
feet high ; and being favored with a pleas
ant breeze, the Flag rippled most beautiful
ly—showing a large rattlesnake, coiled in
the shade of a bunchy-top pine sapling, in
a striking position, with the motto, “ Don’t
Tread on Mo !"—showing fifteen rattles and
a button —which button, we suppose, was
left to bitch on as many of the Western
States as might find it to their interest to
join the Southern Confederacy, at or after
its formation.
After the cheering for the Flag had some
what abated, the Hon. Hugh Buchanan was
loudly called on for a speech, who address
ed the crowd in bold, manly, fearless lan
guage, which was cheered with roaring ap
plause from beginning to end.
Judge Berry was then called out, who
give us a first rate patriotic, southern rights
speech; and was followed by J. Henry
llammoud, Esq., with one of his boldest,
fire-eating harangues.
o o
The old Editor of the Blade was then
caught up by the boys, and forced to take
the stand; and lie was followed by Col.
Watson, Col. Ligon, John Hay, Esq., (fee.,
the., and the whole thing come off most g)o
----riously.
If all Georgia goes as Coweta goes, she is
virtually out of the Union to-day. Van
keeuoin will never have it in her power
again to tauntingly say, the South caut’t he
kicked out of the Union. But rather let
them, with a shamed face, say, the South is
kicking all Yankeedom into a cocked-hat;
and that Coweta—glorious old Cowela—
has given them the first kick —and we have
no fears hut that the whole South will kick,
and keep kicking so long as she ear. find a
Y ankee freesoiler to kick.
Lvl Her Kip!
For llie last two years, it is well known
to our leaders, we havo had very little, or
no other polities tlian those known as
straight out.-4 Southern Rights. Wo took
very little interest in the political parties
that Las just passed off;, because we felt
that neither of the candidates for the Presi
dency were worthy of the support of true
Southern Rights men. Therefore, we fused
on Hill and Wright, (two of the Rell elec
tors,) because we felt shure they would
stand firm for Southern Rights. Rut since
Lincoln has been elected and a regular sys
tem of oppression and degradation is to be
inaugurated, and the Southern States are no
longer equals in the Confederacy ; for Lin
coln’s deliberate purpose, avowed from the
stump, from the press, from the pulpit and
their platform, and proclaimed in their
council halls ; they all speak one language,
and it is uttered in one tone, that there is
an “ irrepressible conflict ” between free and
slave labor ; between their institutions- and
our institutions ; yes, between them ami us.
Therefore, wo owe it to our wives, children
and friends to proclaim that we are une
quivocally for the secession of Georgia from
the Confederacy of the States—though no
other State iu the Union shall co-operate
with her. Yes, let Georgia rip, tear her
tailored Union ensign down; with every
thread hare sale; give her to the God of
storms, and let her kip !
States Rights A. States Sovereignty.
The die is cast. Lincoln and Hamlin are
elected. The people of the North have
shown us that they are determined that sec
tional men shall rule in this great Republic.
The news bringing this intelligence sounds
like a knell throughout the land, stunning
every ear, and lilling every heart with gloom.
The time in which we live is fraught with
grave and terrible interests to our people as
well as the friends of liberty throughout
the world. Wo must now institute a calm
and candid scrutiny into our solemn duties
and responsibilities as citizens. The hour
has come, when the pure and lofty love ol
country, for which the framers of this glori
ous government were (armed, is in active
demand. Whatever the South may do, 1
hope and pray that none will bo guided by
passion, but that all will show that wisdom
governs the helm of state.
The attitude of the South in the recent
canvass has boon remarkable and highly
commendable. While the black republicans
did not vote for a single Southern candidate,
every Southern man voted for a Northern
candidate. Douglas, Everett and Lane all
live in the States called free. The South
lias, therefore, occupied a conservative posi
tion. If secession takes place the blame
cannot lie at our doors.
I do hope that if this Union, through fa
naticism and licentious sectional hate, shall
perish, liberty will ttoi fall with it. We
have State constitutions and laws for the
protection of person and property. The
colonies first and then the Stales were the
first governments in this country, and they
delegate, but never surrendered beyond the
trowel’ of reclamation, certain powers care
fully specified and to bo exercised strictly in
obedience to that sacred instrument, the
constitution. As, therefore, many of the
States have became unfaithful to the com
pact, and every effort has been used to com
pell the performance of tbe conditions on
w hich the Union was established, each state
so aggrieved may reinvest itself with all its
original rights, powers and privileges. The
very existence of stale governments implies
State rights and State sovereignty. Unless
this piinc.ipleis fully maintained and recog
nized, a door is opened for a tyranny as
grinding and galling as the rule of a san
guinary despot. Nay more, the tyranny of
. one under the intluence of prudence and
judgment is often more tolerable than the
tyranny of the many, when guided by fanatic
| prejudice and passion. If, therefore, wo
may throw oil’ our allegiance to the general
government —and nothing under certain
, circumstances is more true—let us ever
keep in mind that, we cannot part with our
allegiance to our Stale government. If the
evil hour must come, if the “ irrepressible
conflict,” a principle as foul as it is false, as
black in the heart that conceived it as it is
untrue in logic —is to be maintained, if the
schemes of uiad fanaticism must predomi
nate, let us part, if possible, in peace, let our
patriotism be equal to our coin age and let
us ever keep before our eyes, as a star to
guide our proceedings, the noble escutcheon
of Georgia. lam only an humble individ
ual and not much of a politician, but from
a boy I have loved this glorious government
—“ the home of the oppressed and the asy
lum of the exile.” I shudder at tho thought
of a disruption of this Union, civil war, and
all the evil consequences which follow in its
train. 15ut lam with the South, heart and
hand ; her people are my people and her
God my God.”
If I may be allowed to advise, I would say,
let the people, without regard to parly, de
termine what shall be done in the present
emergency. Let there be county conven
tions, who shall send delegates to a State
Convention, whose duty shall be calmly to
represent the will of the people. What ever
may he the result of the deliberations of this
body, should, I think, if the case demands it,
be laid before the federal government. If
our grievances can be heard and solemn
pledges made that the guarantees of the
constitution will hereafter be observed, then
an honorable adjustment of the difficulties
might’follow. If this attempt at concilia
tion proves vain, my advice would he to
hoist the lone star. Other stars will be add
ed Ur make a Southern constellation.
Let ns have o Strife.
We are sorry to seo a disposition in some
quarters to get up strife and division among
our oxvn people on the question of choosing
delegates to our State Convention. This
spirit is highly reprehensible. Ad, tliis time
especially, there ought to be no crimination
and recrim*nation. We are one in interest,
let us be one in action. Let tbe people of
every country be called together, after fair
notice, without respect to past party align
ments, and let them select their very wisest
and best men to represent them in this Con
vention which xvill U by far the most im
portant body which has over assembled in
our day and generation. Until we get this
momentous question settled, and our griev
ances all remedied, lot us he one party, one
people. Divisional home will do much to
defeat the patriotic object which ati true
Southern men have at heart. Let the
best men be chosen to represent us, and then
leave to the representatives of the sovereign
will of the people, the whole question of our
wrongs, and the mode and measure of their
redress. . ....
The Mouth.
Our political firmament is so overcast that i
wo cannot be free from the apprehension of
a coming storm. My honest opinion is,
that we cannot, with honor, submit to the
rule of a man as President, who, in his
own person, not only entertains views hos
tile to us, but represents the principles of a
faction which makes war upon our dearest
rights as a people. Some say he has been
elected by a majority of the people. True,
by a majority that seeks from all appearance
to reduce us to a state of serfdom. The
South has had no voice in his election, atkl,
therefore, cannot be represented in the
Presidential chair.. If any of the national
candidates had been chosen, tho South would
be quiet to day, though some might be dis
appointed that the man of their choice had
not been elected.
Noxwcan we submit with a good grace?
Sovereign power resides with tho people. —
Let them say without dictation from any
source what shall be done. If in their pri
mary assemblies they please-to do so, they
can send delegates to a State convention to
meet on a certain day and express Aheir
will. Then, if need be, Georgia, in her
sovereign capacity, can present her gjtima
turn to the Federal Government. T|iu§;pur
enemies will lie convinced that we are in
CFTiiost. The demagogues at the North
have uniformly declared, in their speeches,
that there was no danger to the Union, and
they have deceived and misled tho people,
not only in reference to this point, but in re
gard to everything at the South. OuUhtm
est opinion is, that there is no peace for us
in the Union.
\Ve see that in some prints among us the
right of secession is denied. Willi all defer
ence to the opinions of others, we must say,
that tl.oso who express such views manifest
great ignorance of tho Constitution arid its
history in particular. Every man who
wishes to be acquainted with the true char
acter of this government ought carefully to
read “ A J lisqiiisilion on Government,” and
“A Discourse on the Constitution and Gov
ernment of tho United Slates,” by the lion.
J. C. Calhoun. If this xvork is not already,
it ought to be made a text-book in all our
Colleges and Schools. The young ought
early to be made acquainted with the nature
of the government, under which they are to
live, so that they may understand their rights
and privileges. In our judgment a State
lias a right to secede, and that the Federal
Government has no right, under certain cir
cumstances, to coerce her to remain in the
Union.
Bc on Your Ciiiar*!!
All talk about new planks in tbe Georgia
Platform to meet the present crisis is’reiHeu
lotis. It is a postponement of the whole
question ; a sliding scale to down-right sub
mission. If tbe Georgia Platform xxero re
pudiated, ignored and violated, no one xvould
claim the paternity of it in Georgia if it
meant to break up tho ties that hind us to
the Union. If nothing else xvould do the
makers of that platform would plead the stat
ute of limitations on us and sxvear it out of
date. If men are in earnest about the dan
ger and insecurity of slave property in the
Union—are resolved to resist a Republican
Government, then paper demands, petitions,
ultimatums and the like are worth nothing
and subject us to ridicule and laughter. —
Secession is our only hope and safety. If men
want to agree upon terms, do like our revo
lutionary fathers did, whip the enetpy anil
agree upon terms afterwards.— Coluuibus
Times. 1 : ‘•*
This is talking like a book—and anything
one side of this kind of talk is a fraud and a
cheat —yes, an impudent attempt to tbroxv
sand into the eyes of the Southern people to
blind them until they can help the North
ern Abolitionists to tie tho South hand and
foot, and kick them into the middle of next
week for being such stupid dunderheads. —
Then, Georgians, to redeem yourselves from
the scorn and contempt of the, world, set
your faces like flints against all such whin
ing snivelers as little A lie Stephens and his
pusillanimous co-adjutors. Yes, cease your
shillyshally course, and come boldly up to
the support of your natural and constitu
tional lights, not inside, but outside of the
Union. AH of that slang about our rights
in the Union is noxvataii end, and noSouth
ern rights man can longer abide such fool
ishness. No-sir-ee—do as our fathers did,
whip the enemy, and agree upon terms af
terwards-. That’s tho way our fathers acted,
therefore, let us noxv act, and if necessary, it
will be easy enough to do the talking after
xvards.

Tlic True Doctrine of the Month.
Mkssks. Eiutoks ; Wo are trly in tlie
midst of stormy times. The groat political
ocean is stirred'to its most profound depths,
i ami its surging billons are rolling moßiitaiii
high all over this broad land. A\ o, ot the
i South, feel that xvc are adrift on the bosom
i of this mighty ocean, in the same noble ship,
’ onr banner proudly unfurled, and insoiihed
on every fold, in living characters, She heav
en horn sentiment out rights, “Liberty or
I tenth !”
Abraham Lincoln, the leader of the Rltick
1 Republican hosts of the North, lias been
triumphantly elected President of these Uni
ted States, upon a platform of principles and
with sentiments intirely and directly hostile
to the dearest interests and noblest institu
tion of the entire South. He is the chosen
champion of that party which proclaim the
doctrine, that there is an “ irrepressible con
flict between slave-labor and free labor, that
the one or the other must ultimately tri
umph, and that slavery must and shall bo
abolished, and you and I must do it;” and
that there is a higher laxv than tho Consti
tution of onr fathers, under which slavery
does not and cannot claim to exist, to wit:
The laws of God. Tho South should wake
upon these doctrines hostile alike to the
laws of God and man ; we have slumbered
long enough, and tho time for noble, sublime,
Godlike action has fully arrived.
Wo liax’o arayed against us, not only this
treinendious party on our Northern frontiers,
which, in the recent election, has proven
itself largely in ti e ascendant, but hundreds,
vea thousands of their minions are among
us, as spies in the camp. Now yo men of
noble birth, ye decendauts of tho gallant
sons of Liberty, men who stood firmly amid
the smoke and thunder of battle, when the
bright star of Liberty first shot its radiant
beams over the Western World, will you
1 submit to the rule of tyrants in this boasted
land of Freedom 1 Shall that same brilliant
star which cheered the hearts of our fatheis,
and stirred the noble, brave; oh! shall it
sink in the gloomy night of despotic sway
or will you stand up as a noble band ot
Southern patriots, shake oil'the galling yoke
of these abolition tyrants, and move onward
in tho grand march of Freemen ?
Talk not of British tyrants, the Stamp
act and duty on tea, tho rallying cries
of our Sires, for a darker day has
come upon irs a darker array of oppres
sions and aggressions is upon us. Great
Hi itain could have erased from her statute
books, with one dash of the pan, all those
acts, and thus removed the ostensible cause
of complaint; but who can wipe from the
book of time the blood of our innocent citi
zens, shed by the abolition dogs of war ?•
When shall our countrymen receive com
pensation for the loss of their property,
which has been stolen or burned to the
ground ? What pen can obliterate the nu--
merous acts of aggression committed l in our
midst, and from Virginia to Texas ? Look
to the gallant state of Texas, xvith her towns
almost demolished, ami still gentlemen cry,
“ peace, peace, Union, Union !”
These pages in the history of the Sunny
South are full, and the time has arrived
when we must turn anew leaf and hide, at
least from view, the great enormities that
hevc been engravdli by the bloody fingers of
tyrants, and xvith the iron pen of oppression
upon the South and her institutions. All
this comes, too, from our sister States; no
foreign power, no British tyrants, but a do
mestic foe ; those ivbo claim to be of us, and
that we are all one great family; from those,
too, xvho have been fed and clothed by the
products of slave-labor.
Those same men, or at least their descend
ants, who sold us our slaves when they found
their labor would not pay in the cold, bleak
climate of the North; they having been rased
ill the torrid zone; and even ivliilo they are
roveling amidst the luxuries bought from
the proceeds of their sale, turn upon us with
the sneaking grin of the xvolf, and bite us iu
the dark.
Tell mo if you please the extent of their
philanthropy xvlien tho money argument is
used. What response did Mr. Mendenhall
make to Mr. Clay when ho stated tho letters
and figures requisite to the accomplishment
of liis proposition ? No word did he utter,
and such has ever been the response of that
party ; their philanthropic hearts beat warm
ly until you touch their purse-strings, and
then they are as cold as icicles. But let the
philanthropic motives of the party be as i
dior may, the issue is upon us, and xve must
meet it, and that promptly and firmly as be- j
comes freemen and patriots. We have, for 1
tho last twenty-five years, succeeded in stav
ing oil’ tho issue ; xve have acted thus far on
tho defensive; we have remonstrated, and
have evor been spurned xvitli contempt by ;
the abolition party ; “ the argument has been
fully , completely and totally exhausted, and
now let us stand to our arms.” Lot us now,
with all these facts before us, and with all
the lights wo can gather, act firmly, boldlv
and in proud defiance of our enemies.

ITkadauiik is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may bo looked on as a safeguard intended
to give notice of disease which might otherwise
escape attention, till too late to be remedied; ami
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two* names, viz;—-
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common and’ is the precursor
of a great variety of diseases, among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting sick headache,
of hepatic disease constituting bilious-headache, of
worms, constipation and Oliver disorders- *♦£ the
bowels, as well ns renal amV uterine affections.—
Diseases of the heart are very ft-eijUently attended
with Headaches; Amurnia and plethora are also
affections which frequently ocfusion headache.—
Idiopathic Headache is also very common f being
usually distinguished fry the name of nervous
headache , sometimes coming on suddenly in a state
of apparently sound health and prostrating at. once
the mental and physical energies, and in other in
stances it conies on slowly, horn led by depression
of spirits or acerbity of temper. In most instan
ces the pain is iu the front of the head, over one or
both eyes, ami sometimes provoking vomiting;
under this class may also be named Xntralgm.
For tho Treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and safe
remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few
minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the
disease of which llcadachc is the unerring index.
Dhiogkt.—Missus wants you to send her a box
of Cephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Pills—
but l’m thinking that's not just it. uaither; but

the lighter evils of xvhielt eostiveuess is the usual
