DULY CONSTITUTIONALIST!
BY JAMES GARDNER,
TUESDAY HORNING, JAVY. 29.
River News.
The river is in good boating order. The steam- i
er Augusta left on Saturday for Savannah, with !
eight hundred bales of Cotton, six hundred sacks |
and four hundred barrels Flour, twenty-five liun- !
dreu bushels of Corn, and thirty bales of domes- ;
tics, with sundry articles of way freight.
To “A Citizen.”
We indulge in no controversies with anonymous
writers.
I.ight in front of the Post Office.
Many persons having business at the Post Office,
and visiting the Reading Room, last evening, de
sire us to make the inquiry—What is the reason
the Lamp in front of the Post Office was not lit
last night?
Wood for the Poor.
We shall be pleased to receive contributions of
money from any of our citizens, to be applied to
the purchase of wood for gratuitous distribution
among the poor. It is totally unnecessary to makc
anv special appeal, if the frozen earth beneath our
feet, the cold atmosphere in which we move, and a
general knowledge of the wants of the poor, on all
such occasions, do not excite a benevolent feeling.
Practical Charity.
\V e were informed yesterday of an act of prompt
and serviceable kindness to the poor of our city,
by W»i. J. Eve, Esq., as worthy as it is character
istic of the man. Learning on Sunday that many
poor families were suffering during the present
severe weather for want of wood, he went immedi
ately to his plantation, and put early' yesterday
morning in requisition every wagon he could load,
and every animal that could [mil, and sent to tin
City Hall for gratuitous distribution about twelve
cords of wood. This one fine deed is better than a
thousand fine words of sympathy for the poor.
Snow ami Sleighing.
Daylight on Sunday morning disclosed to out
citizens the ground and roofs of houses covere*
with snow to the depth of two or three inches, ant
trees and shrubbery glittering and bending witl
the weight of ice and icicles. Some rude, butjolh
and successful efforts were made at sleighing, an
the merry tinkling of bells were heard in man
places, as rough sleds on wooden runners, passed b
with their merry cargoes. Yesterday the sno\
commenced melting, and before night our strep
were filled with mud, slush and snow in a trails
live State. The sky continued of a dull grey hu
the sun having peeped out for a moment.
Sale of Negroes at Abbeville C. H.
We call attention to the sale of about one km
dred negroes, at Abbeville C. H., on the 13th an

Let the People Organize the House.
The proposition first made by Mr. Letcher, and
since re newed by Mr. Faulkner, that the members
of the 1 louse resign, and allow the people to send
niembe rs in their places, who can and will organize
j the Hoc.se, must commend itself to popular favor
the mo re reflection is given to it. Indeed, the
question is reduced to the alternative of insisting
1 upon this course, or of submitting to a continued
j disorganization. It is now sufficiently demonstra
ted tb at the present discordant materials cannot
agree upon a mode of organization. Had the
; Democratic party obtained a majority, there would
have ’oeen no difficulty and no delay. A Speaker
would have been elected, and the House would,
from the first day of the session, have proceeded
smoothly on with the public business of the coun
try. But the passage of the Nebraska-Kansas bill, |
with which the Democratic party was identified,
raised in the States North of Mason and Dixon’s
line, a storm of free-soil excitement which succeed
ed in gathering in its sweep all the elements of j
faction, fanaticism and anti-slavery sectionalism,
and iu calling to its aid all the narrow prejudices
of Know Nothing bigotry and intolerance, which
combined and drove from the National Councils
nearly the entire body of National Democrats from ’
the North.
Opposition to the Democratic party, of every
shape and shade, combined at the South with the
same narrow prejudices of Know Nothing bigotry ,
and intolerance, and succeeded iu displacing a
large number of Democrats, thus reducing the
Democratic party to a powerless minority. The
result is an opposition to the Democratic party and
the present Federal Administration, numbering
one hundred and fifty-six members out of two hun
dred and thirty-four. Os this latter number, there
is a clear majority of Know Nothings. Now, as
this Know Nothing party claimed fur itself princi
ples deserving the approval of the American peo
ple, and sought power on the ground that it was a j
;iarty better capable than the Democratic party,
which it assailed of administrating the govern- !
iient, it follows that they, having the majority, are
under pledge to their constituents, to unite togeth
er on the principles common to their Order, and
•leet a Speaker, hi the canvass, before the people,
hey ignored other questions not involved in their
reed, and made Know Nothingism the paramount
(uestiou. What excuse have they now, consistently
vith their past course, to allege as the reason that
hey do not unite—that Know Nothingism is not
he paramount question—that there are other ques
ions existing on which they differ among them
dves irreconcileably, and that, owing to them,
hey will disregard the mystic tie of Know Noth
ng fraternity, and refuse to form a Know Nothing
rganization ?
But this matter we leave to be explained hereaf
■r in Know Nothing lodges, and to Know Nothing
onstituencies. The reasoa assigned to the public j
■*, that the Northern Know Nothings aud the ma
,rity of the Southern Know Nothings stand op- •
osed to each other on the Nebraska-Kansas bill—
ae former being unanimously opposed to, and the
.tier in favor of the bill.
This bill being then, the test, we find that the
ivocates of the Nebraska Kansas bill, whether
Democrats or Know Nothings, are still in the mi
>rity. They could not organize the House even
their votes were united upon a Nebraska-Kansas
mdidate for Speaker.
The Anti-Nebraskaites have a majority in the
louse. Had they all united on a candidate, they
ould, at the opening of the session, have elected a
speaker. Mr. Banks has several times come vvitli
.n three votes of being elected, and iu those very
.allots more than that number of Anti-Xebraska
tes who voted, refused to support him. Anti-Xe
jraskaism had, too, its family quarrels and differ
•nces. It, too, had within itself irreconcilable an
agonisms. Therefore, the House could not be or
ganized on an Anti-Nebraska basis.
Opposition to the Administration holds a major
ty in the House, yet that majority can not coalesce
.n that ground.
The Know Nothings hold a majority, yet they
jail not coalesce on Know Nothingism.
The Anti-Nebraskaites hold a majority, yet they
•an not coalesce on Anti-Xebraskaism.
i The Democratic party, supporting the Adminis
ration. opposed to Know Nothingism, and advoca
ing the Nebraska bill, did coalesce, and stand har
noniouslv together, and voted steadfastly for an
xpouent of their principles. But being in a hope
ess minority, they could effect no organization.
The minority being unable t» elect a Speaker,
nd the majority, who stand in direct antagonism,
ieiiig unwilling to organize, and pertinaciously re
using to do so, the alternative is clear. Perma
lent disorganization, or resignation, so as to allow
he people to decide the question. On this subject,
.vo adopt the language of the Washington Union:
1 “ When the proposition for a genera! resignation
vas made at an early day of the session, it seemed
o excite a feeling of merriment, but experience j
i las shown the wise foresight of Mr. Letcher, who
. isrt made that proposition, and, in the present
tate of things, it becomes a question for sober
jonsideratiou. If the friends of Mr. Banks have ,
t resolved irrevocably that no other member, even ’
if their own party, shall be Speaker, and these ’
mti-Xebraska members who have declined to vote ,
v for him are resolved never to aid in his election, ;
t . we assume that an organization of the House is j
impossible. It is, therefore, upon the assumption
hut the fact is established, that an organization of
die House is impracticable under existing circum- ’
stances, that we turn to the proposition for a gen- j
? ‘ral resignation as the only sure means of again
putting the wheels of government in motion. If
members have made up their minds to adhere un
alterably to their present positions, they have vir- j
(ually determined that no organization can take
place. We do notsee, in such a dilemma, how any
member who has come to this conclusion can ob
ject to the proposition for resignation. The ma
chinery of the government is stopped, and, after
1 seven weeks of persevering effort, the fact is de
monstrated that the present representatives of the j
people cannot put it in successful motion. The ;
people, therefore, have made a mistake in the se
-1 lection of their agents, and the people have a right
to expect their agents to return to them and allow j
them to correct tlieir mistake.
“ After seven weeks of discussion, each member
seems to be more than ever confirmed in the pro- I
i prietv of liis own course, and in the conviction
i that he is faithfully representing his constituents, j
No progress has been made m the House, what
ever may have been the result in the country, in
ascertaining upon whom the responsibility
r for the disorganization rosts. Each division
j and section and member adheres doggedly j
i to the position that somebody else is the responsi
. ble party, and ail the discussion has only strength
: eued this conviction. No one section of the House,
therefore, can be expected to resign unless the
j ; others, or portions of them, will do the same. The
1 i proposition, therefore, for a general resignation,
is manifestly fair, and, as it seems at present to be
i the only suggestion which promises success, we are
sure that the people will soon begin to demand its
I adoption.”
c ! Mors Leap-Year Developments.—The Lowell
>' • Xf:i says that the leap-year ball of the carpet
factory girls came off, according to announcement
j on Thursday evening, and was a very pleasant af
| fair. The ladies, it says, to the number of about
" j seventy-five, healthy, robust, cheery and lovely,
6 : took the carriages, called for their beaux, were
j driven to the hall, jwhere ladies managed, selected
. ! their own partners; ordered the supper, aud glori
■_ ously paid all the bills. The partners selected
. I spoke well for the judgment of the girls. The
Neict says -.
“ We were amused, however, on observingbright
.. | eyed lasses, with rougliish eyes, trip up to demure
, young men and soltcit die honor of tlieir hand for
the‘next cotilion.’ Who could refuse ? One eu
j raptured soul engaged himself to eight different
ladies for the ‘Monev Musk,’ and to six others for
- ‘Hull’s Victory I Many a poor heart hid away un
ci der a vest was irretrievably ruined. But it could
not be helped.
“The company broke up about two o’clock, when
the ladies escorted their beaux home, and then went ;
, off' to their own.”

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Mii.i.edgeville, Jan. 26th 1856.
HOUSE.
<‘ J appropriate ten thousand dollars to
the Macon Botanieo Medical College, which was
lost on yesterday, was this morning, on motion, re
considered, with a view of inserting five in the
ten thousand—ayes 72, nays 38.
The bill providing for the sale of all free persons
of color, who are found within the limits of the
State, after a specified time, came up as the special
order of the day. This bill gave rise to a consid
erable discussion.
Messrs. Crook, and Phillips took ground in fa
vor of its passage. Messrs. Jones, of Muscogee,
Dawson, Haynie, and Thornton, against it. A
motion to postpone indefinitely was carried by a
vote of lives 65, nays 54.
A bill to appropriate ten thousand dollars to the
Savannah and Atlanta Colleges, was lost by a vote
of ayes 44, nays 00.
The House then adjourned to 10 o clock, A. M.,
Monday.
SENATE.
The most of the forenoon was consumed, on mo
tions for re-consideration. Mr, Fambro moved to
reconsider the bill restricting the labors of Factory
employees, under the age of sixteen, to ten looms
a day. This bill was adopted in lieu of the one
introduced bv Mr. Fambro, to repeal the old law,
which makes it unlawful to work minors in Facto
ries before sunrise, and after sunset. The motion
to reconsider, was advocated by Messrs. Fambro,
Murphey, Moore, of Lincoln” and Beaslcy, and
opposed by Mr. Screven. Mr. Moore contended
that it. was essential to the interest and prosperity’
of Factories, that all hands employed should work
the same length of time, otherwise, their business
would be greatly deranged, and ten hour, a day
was too short a period for the long summer days.
The bill was reconsidered.
Mr. Camden moved a reconsideration of the bill,
repealing the act, which prohibits the introduc
tion of slaves into this State for sale.
Mr. Buchanan led off in a lengthy argument in
support of the motion. He thought it bad policy
to repeal the existing law. As a question of econ
omy, it was wrong. By introducing gangs of ne
groes, you present temptations to the people which
they could not withstand. They will borrow mo
ev and buy negroes, even at, high prices, and when
a reverse comes upon the country’, ruin and disas
ter yvill follow close upon its heels. This" position
was elaborated at some length, by reference to the
past history of Georgia. He admitted that negroes
are cheaper in some portions of this State, than
they are in Virginia. The reason for this yvas to
be found in the fact that the newly opened, large
and fertile tract of country, embraced within the
boundaries of Texas and Louisiana, has increased
the demand for slave labor, and consequently en
hanced the value of slaves in that section which
supplies Southern markets. But the depression in
Georgia might be temporary ; and many who are
now soiling negroes at comparatively low prices,
are probably forced to do so, on account of embar
rassments. occasioned by paying high prices, while
the law, which some were now seeking to repeal,
was not in operation.
Mr. McMillan followed in opposition, ne said
there yvas no force iu the position assumed by
some, that throwing open our doors to the intro
duction of slaves for sale, would have the effect of
draining Virginia and Maryland of their slave pop
ulation, and making them ’free States. He appeal
ed to the statistics of the country, and the history
; of slavery in those States—Virginia particularly,
1 in confirmation of what he said. The last men-
I tinned State, although she had, for years and years,
j supplied the Southern and Western markets", con
■ tained, at this time within her borders, not onlv
! a greater slave population thau she ever had be
j fore, but more slaves than any other State in the
: Union, Vct in the face of these facts, gentlemen,
for want of a better r-ason, would still insist upon
j the argument.. He also urged that it would be in
j jurious to Southern interest, at this juncture, to
■ refuse to repeal the layv. Slavery yvas struggling
for an existence in Kansas, and needed all the aid
j she could get from every quarter, moral as well
I as phy.-icial. Refuse to repeal this law, you give
j an additional argument to the Abolitionists
: against your brethren in Kansas. He yvas for free
trade in negroes. They were recognized as pro-
I perty ; and the same layvs which governed trade in
! other species of property, should be extended to
j this.
Mr. Peeples was the next speaker. He thought
; the gentleman last up very unfortunate in his re
ference to the slavery statisticsjof the border slave
States. If there yvas an increase in the slave pop
i ulation at all, the increase was as nothing, in com
! parison with, the rapid increase of that class iu the
more Southern States. In making this compari
! son, you tnus» take the old States, and leave out
t Kentucky and Missouri, which were more recently
settled, lie thought it was to the interest of the
! South to adopt that policy, which would prevent
the border States from sending off'their negroes,
i and thus lessen their interest in the institution of
! slavery. It yvas the prevailing opinion of manv,
that slavery yvas destined to recede from its North
ern limits, and travel southward. It yvas our duty
j to check that tendency, instead of hastening its
! consummation. He argued further, that the poli
! ey of introducing more negroes would tend to im
i poverish the State. It would be the means of more
. rapidly exhausting our fertile lands, and involve
i the people in debt. He urged also tlie past action
1 of the Legislature, as an argument against a re
peal. The law bad been repealed tyvice, and re
-1 enacted by each ensuing Legislature.
Mr. Pope yvas also in favor of reconsideration,
and against repeal. He considered the question in
its moral and social aspect; and made a strong
and feeling appeal, upon the ground that the traf
fic in slaves is revolting to humanity, and at vari
ance yvitb the spirit of Christianity.
The Senate refused to reconsider by a vote of
ayes 41, nays 51. And tbe old layv stands repeal
ed, so far as the action of the Senate is concerned.
What will be its fate in the House, I cannot say
positively. I am, however, inclined to the opinion
that it will pass that body also.
BILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE.
To organize a Court of Common I’loas iu Augus
ta. Passed.
To organize a Criminal Court in the city of Co
lumbus. Passed.
To authorize Justices of Inferior Courts to exer
cise criminal jurisdiction in certain cases. Passed.
To add the county of Worth to the Southern Ju
dicial Circuit. Laid on the table for the present.
A resolution introduced some days ago, declar
ing that the Legislature would adjourn sine die on
the 25th of February next, was called up, and gave
rise to several short speeches. It yvas denominated
by its opponents a Buncombe resolution ; and upon
the ground that its adoption would not hasten le
gislation, and that the body would not adjourn be
fore it gets through yvith the business, a motion
yvas made to postpone indefinitely. The motion
yvas lost. Judge Cone then offered, as a substi
tute, a resolution limiting speakers to ten minutes.
Before a vote could be bad, either upon the substi
tute or original, a motion to adjourn until ten
o’clock Monday morning prevailed. N.

Repository for the sale of CARRIAGES, BUG
GIES, HARNESS, Ac., at No. 26 Beekman-tfreet,
running through to 18 Spruce-street— entrance on

The main floor, (185 feet in length,) affords am
ple room for keeping always on hand, a large and
complete assortment of every description and va
riety, ai per chart, herewith.
Having learned the trade iu the Factory of his

him, and superintend every stage of its manufac
ture.
His long residence in the South and West, and
intimate knowledge of every section, and his expe
rience while with Messrs. Baldwin & Starr, and
Messrs. Frotliingham, Newell A Co., gives him j
many advantages in the selections required for the
different parts of the country. Also, an acquaint
ance with the character of Work, Draft, Track,
Height of Wheels, quality and size of Springs and
Axles necessary for the particular localities.
Particular attention paid to special orders, either ;

all prices guarranteed to be as low as the work can
possibly be furnished, and which will be equal, in
every respect, to that of the very best and oldest
city or country establishments.

Park, on the southeast side, across from the Aster
House, and in a line from Park Place, Murray,
Warren and Chamber-sts., near the Brick Church,

Having convenient office accommodations, and
papers from the Southern ( ities and Towns, he j
trusts that he may have the pleasure of a call !
from his friends, and from those who will do him i
the favor to examine his assortment, and being the
only establishment adapted to the Southern Trade, ;
in the lower part of the city, he respectfully solicits
a share of patronage.
He begs to refer those unacquainted with him, to 1
any of the Jobbing Houses in New York City, en
