NKWK.YN.fiA., FRIDAY, XOVEMBER 30, 180(1. licsistance. „£g Tlit* Voters of Coweta County are mjuested to meet, in Mass- Meeting, on Thursday, 20th De cember next, for the purpose of Nominating Three Candidates to represent this county, in a State Convention at Milledgevillc. Election on 2d day of January next. The Convention will meet on the 10th of January, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the best mode and means, as Georgians, in Resistance to Black Republicanism and Northern Ag gression. MANY VOTERS, “Without distinction of former parties. Nov. 30, I*oo. 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. Far the Independent Blade. 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.

Among the lighter evils of xvhielt eostiveuess is the usual attendant are Headache, Colie.
