Mortality Statistic* of the Seventh
Census.
We are indebted to Mr. Hollow, Superintend.m
of Census, for the proof-sheets of the “Mortality
Statistics of the Seventh Census,” so far as they
relate t Georgia This census was taken in 1
and shows the population of Georgia to have hern
at that time of whom 521 ~’•7..* were whim,
"si,o*2 dive-, anil !f ee colored The whole
number of deaths for the year was 9,925, or about
one per cent, of the population. The mortulitv
among the whites was 4,5*0, that of the slaves
5,304, und that of the free colored 41- -showing a
much greater ratio of deaths among the colored
than the whites. This is in accordance with tie
well established fact that in all countries the labot
: ng classes sutler greater mortality than others.
The mortality from affections of the Respirator /
apparatus, comprehended und- r the heads ol
asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, consumption, croup,
hooping cough, influenza, lung disease, pleurisy
and pneumonia', was I,o*':, of whom SSI were
white, and 1,155 colored. The negro would, there
fore. seem to he much more susceptible to pulm>
narv diseases than the white, unless this difference
he attributed to the relative degree of exposure of
the two races. Upon examining into the mortali
ty from the fir east usually termed malarial, (enu
merated as bilious, brain, congestive, inflammato
ry, intermittent and remittent), we find that the
number of deaths was 933, of whom 490 were
white, and 44.“ colored, tiius revealing also a great
er liability ot the black than of the white to this
class of affections, for these numbers, when viewed
in connection with ihe relative numbers of each
color as indicated by the census, will make one
death per l-G-G j white-, and one per >3l vy blacks.
The deaths from type - typhoid V i fever were 2-7

in a moral point of view, ti- -> sniti-iies are

Hon. Ilotvell Cobb.
In the debate, in the House of Representatives,
in Congress, on the 2‘Jth January, occasioned bv a
resolution introduced by the Honorable A. K.
Marshall, of Kv., which expressed the opinion,
that party nominations had retarded the election
of a Speaker, and it was therefore the duty of all
parties to withdraw their candidates, the following
i cogent and timely remarks were made by the Hon.
Howell Cobb:
“He said he understood the resolution as read, to
announce that the nomination of candidates by the
respective parties in the House had precluded an
organization, and attributed the want of organiza
tion to the fact that these parties had made nomi
nations, and therefore sought to make the election
of Speaker hereafter free from party nominations
The gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. Mill-on.: in
. supporting the principle of the resolution, has a—
sailed the-Democratic party for the course that it i
had pursued in originally making a nomination, ;
and at the same time of being guilty of what that
gentleman termed the extraordinary proceeding i
of giving a reason for the support it gave its 1
candidate. He would support no candidate for
any office without having a reason for it, and
when that reason ceased to operate, he would
withdraw his support. He saw no difference be
tween an individual giving a reason for his sup
port of a candidate and a party composed of
individuals uniting and giving the same rea
son. In reference to the course pursued bv the
Democratic party, so far as he was concerned as a
member of that party, be justified its proceedings
at the commencement of the session and subse
quently. He sanctioned them then and now.
What did that party do? They met together, nom
inated a candidate, and announced their principles
upon two great leading, controlling, and paramount
questions. They adhered to those principles. It
was said that the announcement was offensive to
gentlemen composing another party, who would,
apart from that consideration, have given their
support to the nominee of that caucus. Gen
tlemen belonging to the democratic party had over
and over again on the floor of the House disclaim
ed any intention to make the resolution they had
adopted offensive to anybody, and in the last nom
ination they had made,’whilst they adhered to the
principles announced hv their first caucus, they
had no intention to make the declaration of those
principles offensive to any one or any party. It
was the declaration of the principles upon which
the party stood ; and in the history of political par
ties in this country, it was the first time within Ins
knowledge that a party had been condemned for
the avowal of its principles. He had heard of par
i ties being assailed violently for seeking to withhold
their principles, he had heard of parties being at
tacked for endeavoring to palm off candidates on
tiie country by refusing to make known the princi
ples upon which they stood, hut it remained for
the present state of things to disclose an assault on
a party for having publicly announced its princi
ples. The reason which controlled his judgment
! and his action he would frankly and candidly state
;to the House and the country. He regarded the
preservation of the organization of the democratic
j party as essential to the best interests of thiscoun
! try, and he was unwilling to waive tiiat organtza
; tion by the abandonment or withdrawal of its
i principles. In one sentence, then, his position was
; made known : He considered the organization of
; the national democratic party in this country as of
more importance than the election of any man as
i Speaker of the House, and he believed that the
‘ best interests of the country would suffer if that
! organization was sacrificed in order to obtain tlie
\ election of any man as Speaker, lie might he
charged with speaking as a party man. He spoke
| of this party because of the principles which it
| was bound to carry out in the future administration
of the government. Those principles had been
; announced by the caucus that nominated Mr. Rich
! ardson, and had been adhered to by the caucus
j that nominated Mr. Orr. The offence, then, that
the democratic party had committed, was nothing
more or less than, having principles, it announced
them, and, having principles, it adhered to them.”

Senator Toombs in Boston.
•Since the arrival of the Hon. Robert Toombs, of
Georgia, in this city, and his becoming the guest
of Hon. William Appleton, as might naturally be
supposed, there lias been considerable conversa
tional excitement among that class who attend lec
tures, in l egat'd to his proposed dissertation upon
slavery, or, as the title ts properly, the consistency
of African slavery with the Constitution of the
L'nited States and republican constitutions, and the
1 effects of the American Revolution upon the Afri
can race.
There have been speculations of all sorts ; some
as to how he would he received on his first appear
ance on the platform ; some as to the manner in
which he would treat the subject—-whether he
would prove plucky to the .Southern, or plastery to
the Northern, predilections; and a great many as
to which portion of the community would he most
largely repiesented' at. the lecture, at the rate of
fifty cents per head—the pro-slavery, the abolition
ist, or those who don’t care a snap either side, and
merely wish to see the lion. Senator.
All, however, were agreed that the advent of Mr.
Tootubs, coming, as it were, to beard the lion in
his den, and that, too, at the said lion’.-special invi
tation, was, to use a homely hut appropriate word,
“funny;” and as there are enough in Boston who
lifte to have fun, no matter of what kind, whether
it be in religion, politics or prize fighting, the re
sult was, as might he expected, the Tremont Tem
ple was crowded to excess. Those, however, who
went with the expectation of seeing a disturbance,
were disppointed, for with but very slight ex -ej -
tions, the dissent from the opinions expressed was
manifested by a respectful silence; while through
out the lecture there were many passages which
received hearty applause.
At half past seven Mr. Toombs appeared upon
the platform, accompanied by Hon. William Ap
pleton, Nathaniel Appleton, Esq., and some of tin
committee who have been instrumental in getting
up the course of lectures. He was greeted with
applause on his entrance, and without any intro
duction took the stand for tlie purpose of com
mencing his remarks. On doing so, a single hiss
i was heard from the centre of the hull, which was
quashed immediately by cheers from all parts.
But upon the subsiding of the latter, the same
snaky demonstration continued. This, however,
was soon silenced by Mr. Toombs himself, who,
perfectly at home, remarked that it made no differ
ence with him. People might chose their own
means to express their feelings. Good humor pre
vailed, and the speaker proceeded.
If is possible (said he) that the majority of the
sentiments advanced on this occasion would be op
posed to the honest convictions of the most of
those present, but he trusted that what might be
said would tend in a manner to modify the asperi
ty that now prevails between the’ North and
South. What he had to say would be expressed
with all respect and deference to the opinion- of
others, but with firmness and sincerity. The first
portion of his lecture was occupied entirely with
the history of the Constitution of the United States,
and the consideration of the elements which led
toils formation, and tlie opinions of the men who
contributed to its construction. He maintained
that this instrument does not contain one single ar
ticle that tended to prohibit shivery, but that, on
the contaary, the institution was protected by it,
though of course not prompted especially. The
right to hold slaves is left to the people of each
State by its provisions, and no one State could dic
tate to the other what they should do in the mat
ter. History tells us that the Constitution was ;
formed by the consent of thirteen slaveholding col
onies, and at the time when the slave trade was 1
practiced a- a branch of lawful commerce. There
were anti-slavery men in those davs as well as now.
Mason, of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, and others
equally great, had advocated the abolition of slave
ry; but it could not be done. It had been forced
upon them by England, and emancipation was
morally impossible; and under existing circum
stances it was so at the present day. lam not
responsible for the Constitution as it’ stands now
protecting slavery The South 1- not responsible.
It i- vour fathers mv fathers, the founders of this
glorious republic, that are responsible They made
the Constitution as it is, allowing each State to
have its own institutions, to hold slaves or not, us
they saw fit. And I think they did wisely. If the
Constitution is wrong, endeavor by all 'means to \
change it. If it conflicts with your views as to
religion, politics, justice or morality, use vour
energies towards making it conform to Vour
standard. The speaker asserted that in fact the
formation of the Constitution increased the num
ber of slaves, and that, too, by the consent of Mas
sachusetts and every voter in New England
T-.ts was proved by the provision that the slave
trade should exist twenty years from the time of
its adoption, until 1801, anil that there was an ex
tension oj !-■'*. During the time large numbers of
slaves were imported, and a rapid increase was the
•onsequence: and all this, too, brought about bv
Massachusetts votes, and against the protestations
of many Southern anti-slavery advocates. Laws
made since then by wise statesmen also sustained
the views of Mr. Toombs, and an allusion was
made to the fugitive slave law.
Here there was an interruption by hisses from
various pans of the hall, which were taken by the
Hon. Senator with the utmost self-possession and
coolness. Gvutleiiieu, said he, in an impressive
mantier.you may hiss your Constitution if vou wi-li,
hut you vlo not now hiss me. Go and put vour
curses where they belong, if you choose—upon the
fathers of your country. We come here to speak
of the Constitution, and there are enough here and
in the country to protect it. [Loud applause.]
The speaker then alluded to the condition of the
>nuth in reference to slavery; the influence, for
good or had, which that institution ha* upon it,
and the easy control which their government ox
eu , °Yer all classes, summing up with the rc
<at s ‘nee 17 Mi no Southern State ever had

allowed to exist for years, but the legislation of
1*54 was the step by which the Constitution was
brought hack to its true bearings—the recogni
tion of the rights of all States to legislate forthem-
Tt, VeS v. n rep^ d to their own institutions.—
Throughout all the South had acted upon this
principle—the true principle of that document, to
which every State in the Union is in good faith
hound; and it is to he trusted all would soon agree
In commencing on the second portion of his lec
ure senator Toombs remarked that the topic
touched upon would be one which there would be
es * probability of himselt and audience agreeing
upon than the first, but h e could not help that,
i his was the effect of the Revolution, and the pre
sent system of Southern slavery upon the African
ticuu. The people ot the North draw indirect com
parisons in regard to the condition of the negro in
the two sections ot the countrv. both as to the ac
tton ol the individual in himself, and to the whites
comparisons which, when drawn, have never been
sanctioned by reason or justice. You sav that all
the Mayes should he emancipated immediately,
and that no harm can be done by the act, to prove
which you etc the condition of vour free colored
population. But how would it be if the million of
inhabitants ol Massachusetts consisted of five
hundred thousand free blacks and five hundred
thousand whites ? \\ ould your boated prosperity
je as it now, and would not there be some dis
position to look after the interests of the African
in a i itterent direction front that at present. Your
prosperity as a free State, is not that vou are ex
empt from slavery ; it is owing to the’ absence of
•he race front vour midst. When our country first
started, tlie -laves were not fitted for self-govern
ment 1 hey might be or might not in the future
There are no instances in history that will prove
that the African race ever took' the first step to
wards self-civilization, but there are multitudes of
cases to prove that when once elevated in the hu
man scale - being left to themselves—their tenden
cy was to fall back into barbarism. The princi
ples of our Government are based upon the axiom
that democracy is a government of men ; republi
canism a government of laws. Massachusetts
; adopted this course at the outset, and so did Geor
gia. the laws, therefore, must be the governing
I principle ; and negroes were unfit to make laws for
j themselves, as experience has shown ; the South
j ern whites, having them with them, must make
i laws for them. The slavery of the African race has
: been existent with their creation. Other races may
i have for a time been compelled to bear the yoke,
( but they only are the ones that have always been
! subject to masters. So tar as the South is con
j cerned, the slavery institution has made them hap
' P. v ■ So fur as the freedom of the North is con
; cerned, it has made them degraded.
The former aud present condition of Hayti and
i Jamaica were alluded to in support of the position
| ot the speaker, and in remarking upon the free
| dom of the negro in the Northern States, he said:
| It is true that he is lord of himself and his lieri
| tug®. But is it not a heritage of woe, excluded
j from all civil rights, with but few exceptions, and
| looked upon with contempt almost univesul ? His
j history is written upon the records of the jails and
j penitentiaries. Mr. Toombs contended that the
j South was right in the belief that equality in the
: two races is impossible, and therefore restraint
was necessary. The laws of the South gave to the
| slaves great privileges. Ido not pretend, said he,
i that all are granted that should he, hut earnestly
hope that soon all that are proper should be allow
led ,0 them. 1 say this in Boston—l will sav it in
| Georgia. The most enthusiastic applause greeted
: this remark.
The conclusion <>f the address of Mr. Toombs
i was mainly a consideration of the condition of the
| South in a commercial point of view, and ho drew
a tar more favorable picture of its condition than
; many who pretend that the peculiar institution of
• that section ot the I. nited States is dragging it
j down to destruction. [The substance was, that thev
would be perfectly satisfied to be let alone, as far
as that matter was concerned. At the conclusion
of the lecture, three cheers—-qualified of course
were given for the Senator; and as far as could be
judged from the expressions heard in the crowd
while leaving the hall, there was a general expres
sion of approbation towards the lecturer—not of
his opinions, but of his candor and bearing. The
audience dispersed quietly, although one man sang
| out, before Mr. Toombs left the stand, “How long
before (.’has. Sumner can speak in Tallahassee?''
! Another excited individual in the crowd, cried
| “Three cheers for Charles Sumner.” But the re
j spouse was like those demonstrations by theschol
| ors at 1). -the-Boy-shall, on the return of Mr.

after we saw a rank Abolitionist lecturing the

have been well copied by one or two of another
