From the Savannah Morning Betas, March 5.
Chatham Delegation -Col. It. A. Lawton.
We consider that our citizens and the people of
Chatham county have just cause to be proud of
their able delegation iu the Legislature, which has
just closed its session at Milledgeville. The ability
ivi ih which they labored for the advancement of
the interests of their constituency, und the influ
ence which their councils exerted'on the State leg
islation, is shown not less by the success ofjthe iiii
|, .riant measures which they originated and advo- ’
rated, than by the high personal regard in which !
they arc held by the representatives and press of i
other sections of the State. From what we know ■
and hear of the history of the late session, we !
doubt whether Savannah has for many years’ had ■
an abler or more influential delegation in the Leg- j
islature than her lust, or one who accomplished so !
much to promote her true interests, conciliate op- !
position, and remove prejudice. This thought was
suggested by meeting the following complimenta
ry reference to Col. It. A. Lawton, in the Columbus j
T mes: Speaking of ottr representative, the writer 1
sars:
lie is easy and unassuming in his manners and
totally devoid of pretensions; though we doubt j
.. >t, he is endowed with a reasonable share of self- \
> 'teeni as well as of ambition. When he took his j
•at in the House, we imagine very few recognized j
.him the real leader of that body; nor did he ,
:pains to bring himself forward m thatcapa- *
Representing, however, the intersts of our j
nmercial emporium, he was necessarily forced i
ii;...:i !.’> feet very often, and every time he rose he j
added to his reputation as a man of sense as well ;
as of erudition, and, at length, was looked to in :
every emergency when Democratic principles were
to be enunciated or Democratic policy to be de
fended, as the leader of the party in the House of j
Representatives. Mr. Lawton is not an orator, but !
is a most effective speaker. His mind is active, j
his apprehension quick, his logic irresistible, his :
flow nt words good, his voice pleasant to the ear ; !
but of all, he is endowed with a large share of
common sense, and knows when to speak and when
to keep silent. We have heard him in several ]
keen encounters with the chiefs of the opposition, 1
and never saw hint worsted by any or all of them! i
He impresses us with the idea that he never brings 1
into an encounter all his powers, hut keeps in re !
serve a large part of his torces for an unexpected j
emergency. He employes just enough strength to
overcome his adversary, and never seems to care !
to overwhelm him.
Since the above was in type, we have received the ' 1
Milledgeville Union, of yesterday morning, from 1
« hich we extract the following :
Col. Lawton, of Chatham.—lt has been a pleas- [
ure, and a pride we may sav (for we feel proud of ]
. ur seaport city • in referring to the valuable set- ,
vices rendered the House of Representatives dur- i
mg the session just closed, by the gentleman whose
untie heads this paragraph. Always at liis post, i ,
diligent in business, affable and courteous in man
ners, he has won for himself the friendship and
respect of all his late associates, and a reputation, j
generally, as a ready debater and clear-headed
man. lie has done as much, if not more, than any !
of bis predecessors from the seaboard, to disabuse
the minds of the people of Upper Georgia of the
prevalent idea, that a man coming from Savannah i
must mvessarih he, in common parlance, a “swell
b-.iJ. Indeed, Savannah honored herself, and
exhibited a worthy pride iu sending such a delega- I
ti -n as she did to both Houses—gentlemen high- j
toned, liberal, and warm advocates of every meas- !
me that could enhance the interests of their beuu
tittil city, or speed the onward inarch of Georgia
t j eminence and prosperity. Mav she always do
oi well
The V irginia Convention.
v\ m. Smith, of Va.—This gentleman was admit
ted into the recent State Convention of the Demo
cratic party of Virginia, upon his declaring that
be would support the nominees of the Cincinnati | \
f invent Mil. In his defence lie declared that he ,
had never quitted the Democratic part v, nor joined
the Know Nothings. ‘‘l repeat,” said he, ‘‘that ,
there is hut one great fight iu this country, and ; .
that between Democracy and lilack Republicanism, i
There is but one line of policy for me to pursue, <
and that is plain. 1 cannot do any thing else j t
I thau support the nominees of the Cincinnati Coil- I |

THE PLALFORM OF THE DEMOCRACY OF '
VIRGINIA. | ,
ihe Democratic Republicans of Virginia, in ' t
( invention assembled, following the time-honored i
usage in declaring the principles which bind them <
together as a party, do
1. //■■ *e. /, That the true relations between the : 1
States and the Federal Government, and the true
rules tor the construction of the Constitution, are 1
"•needy set forth in the resolutions and report of
. and est, of the General Assembly of Virginia; <
and the doctrines therein expounded are hereby • t
adopted and re-affimed. ‘ i i
-• R *di'vl, That Congress has no power to ap- | i
propriate, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of
the states of the public lands, or to grant, directly, •
thepuolie lands to the purposes of internal im- I
provement.
Reeohaf, That specific duties, taxing, as they I
d'>, the low-priced necessaries of the poor as lieav- |
ly as the costly luxuries of the rich, are unequal,
unjust, and odious; that duties designed for pro- |
teetion, foster one branch of industry and cherish •
" ae section of the country at the expense of others, j
s:d are utterly inconsistent with justice and sound :
;• ney and Democratic principles; and that we are j
opposed to any increase of the duties on imports, j
especially on articles of general and necessary con
sumption, such us iron, coal, sugar, salt and coarse i
cottons. j
4 Beard red, That the Federal Government ought
’• s ihere in its foreign policy to the maxims in- i
cukated by the Father of his country, and by the
Hiper of Democracy.
R-sylcmt, That we reaffirm the resolutions of •
'•}- Baltimore Convention of 1851,as far as applica
lj:t;the present condition of the country.
Resole,,!. That the vote of the State in the
ffleinnati Convention ought to he given for such ,
atiiidates as will command the greatest strength
'. ‘ Democratic party throughout the Union,and 1
' >e principles at e known to conform most strict
the cardinal tenets of the Democratic Repub- ;
11 ‘taut faith. !
' Rejoiced , That the Convention feci that they ;
c °u!d not more emphatically express their conderh- !
I s»ti nos the obnoxious tenets and practices of the
tit w Nothing party, than was done bv the Demo-
Ticy of Virginia at the polls, on the ’24th dav of i
; May, 1555. i
- Resolve/, That we approve of the act known
y'A Kansas-Nebraska act, repealing as it did the ■
Missouri restriction, which was unjust to the South,
H in conflict with the Constitution and the equal- :
”.v of the States.
, R’ That this Convention approves ful

' t the Constitution of the United States,

That while this Convention dis

Potatoes bv Weight. —A bill is before the New

tracts for the sale of potatoes hereafter made, the
delivery thereof shall he by weight as aforesaid,
unless a special contract be made otherwise."
xrST The Washington correspondent of the Sa
vannah Georgian, of March 2d, says:
“As for Mr. Fillmore, he signalized his adminis
tration by pardoning two negro thieves, Drayton
..nd Sears, who had formed and nearly consumma
ted a deep laid conspiracy to carry off a number
of slaves from the District of Columbia, and who
were actually found on hoard of the vessel with
them, making down the river to sea as fast as they
could. How, with the knowledge of this fact, and
the utter ignorance of Mr. FUmore’s views on the
great question of the day -the principle of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill southern men could vote
for his nomination for the Presidency,l cannot see.
“ A singular event in connection with the nomi
nation of Mr. Fillmore, is the adhesion of a promi
nent member of the Republican party to the Amer
ican ticket. At the Fillmore and Donelson ratifi
cation meeting, held in this city on Friday night,
Mr. Lewis D. Campbell was one of the speakers.
He spoke from the same stand with southern
Americans, lie is Mr. Banks’ leader in the House,
being chairman of the Committee on Ways and
Means, and is noted as the man who advised his
constituents to trample the Fugitive Slave Law un
der foot. Events are thickening upon us to satisfy
us of the entire sympathy between Abolitionism
and Know Nothingism.
“ I learn that Mr. Albert Pike, of Arkansas, is
opposed to the whole action of the Convention, and
will not support its nominees. He looks upon the
abrogation <.f the twelfth section, and the adoption
of the District of Columbia platform, as a conces
sion to the North prejudicial to the South. This is
the true view of it, and I think one that is having
its efleet upon the Southern Know Nothing mem
bers, as they are quite mum as to what they pro
pose to do in the premises.”
Mr. Fillmore in Rome.—A letter dated Rome,
Jan 1 st, says :
“ Our friends ex-President Fillmore, Dr. Foote
and Mr. Jewett were at the Church of the Jesuits
and appeared to enjoy the ceremonies quite as well
a s others. The ex-Bresident has only been here
two or three days. Cass makes a party for him
on Thursday evening of this week. I think the
Papal government will make something of a lion
of him, as they did of Mr. Van Burcn last winter.”
Thk Bivingsvillk Factory.—This valuable pro
perty, consisting of the factory and twelve hun
dred acres of land, which has been advertised for
tiie last five or six sales days, was actually sold at
Sheriff's sale on Monday last, and only brought
: nineteen thousand and five hundred dollars, not
: quite one-third as much as Col. E. C. Leitner paid
for the same in 1645.— Spartanburg Express.
The sugar planters in different portions of Lou
isiana report that the growing crop of cane in that
State has suffered material injury from the unusual
1 severity of the winter, and that there is every rea
son to apprehend another short crop of sugar.
This is likely to cause the article to maintain its
present advanced rates, if not to reach higher tig
j ures.
The Georgia Know Nothings are said to console
themselves that if the second Philadelphia Con
vention has ignored slavery and the twelfth sec
tion, and kicked the Georgia platform to the dogs,
it still avows a belief in the “existence of a Su
preme Being. That is some comfort, and everv
little helps in a dry time.— Xtw York ,Veiiw.
A Naw \ rrsion.—Kossuth thus interprets the
Central American Treaty; “Two travellers had
hut one horse; otie of them proposed an agree
ment on these terms: the first half hour you shall
, walk and 1 will ride; the second half an hour I
i will ride and you shall walk. Just such would be
! the Central American treaty, according to the Eng
lish interpretation.”
Übtcrnino Reason.— Our telegraphic column of
; yesterday contained the following announcement -
■ Chicago, March 5. —Mr. Dyer, Democrat, was
yesterday elected Mayor by four hundred majority.
The Council stands four Republicans and five
Democrats.
Just twelve months ago the Know Nothings
. swept the citv. electing a Mayor and a majority of
. the Council. Now they have not even a name, the
[ Abolitionists having swallowed them up. This
election, though a small matter comparatively, is j
a type of the character of the contest now going
I on in the North, the only real parties to which are
, the Democrats and the Freesoilers, under whatever
name the latter may act.— ShM Si<k Itenb>rrjt.

ISINGLASS,
FOR BLANC MANGE, TABLE JELLIES, Ac.,

j The most extraordinary discovery in the World is the
j Great Arabian Remedy fen- Alan and Beast.
H. G. FARRELL’S
j CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
THE beautiful and fertile region skirting the
desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants
and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro
matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is
composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and
penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused
through the whole nervous system, allaying the
most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when
j you will be convinced that no preparation possesses
I in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities,
j Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates
the tiesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re
storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where
the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
skin and bone, excites a ’healthy action, causing
new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled
part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and this is the reason why it has been so success
ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the
Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme
dy stands before any other ever produced. For
ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe
cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find
it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world
for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb
ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds,
chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and
reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in
deed nearly all diseases which require an internal
application, and many others, are greatly benefitted
by it. It is used externally with great success in
goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil,
Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses
or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man.
Will cure any case of Sweeney iu existence ; also
Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy’
Poll Evil, Windgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac.
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
\V. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
t he name of Farrell, many will buy it 111 good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only bv H.
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
