TUESDAY MORNING. DEC. 6, 1859.
The Democratic Meeting Saturday
Night.
The Democratic meeting, held at the City Hall,
©n Saturday night, passed resolutions endorsing
the administration of Mr. Buchanan, and dis
approving of the action of the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature in calling a convention, to
appoint delegates to the Charleston convention,
on the Bth inst. Delegates, however, were ap
pointed to the convention of the. Bth mst., with
discretion to act as they might think proper. A
majority of them are in favor of postponing the
appointment of delegates to Charleston, until the
meeting of the convention in March next, which
has been called, for that purpose, by the Executive
Committee of the party. We doubt, however,
whether any of the delegates opposed to action at
this time, will attend the convention.
Meeting of Congress.
The first session of the thirty-sixth Congress, be
gan at noon yesterday.
At the time we write, we have no information
of the organization of the House, or of any move
ments towards it, except that contained in the tel
egraphic dispatches published on the first page of
our issue this morning. The intelligence contain
ed in these dispatches does not indicate a speedy
organization of the House.
The Democrats in caucus have nominated the
Hon. Thomas S. Bocock, of Virginia, an old and
distinguished member, as their candidate for
Speaker. The Republicans have declined to make
a nomination for that office, and the South Ameri
cans have failed, after several conferences, to
adopt any line of policy in reference to the organ
ization of the House. This is the information
which we have from Washington, at the time we
write.
There are some things in this information which
we not like. We had' hoped that the Republicans
would nominate a candidate for the speakership,
as, in that event, he would not have received a
single votefrom the South, and we had hoped ,too,
that the American Representatives from the South,
would go to Washington, determined to act with
the Democracy, and to secure a national organiza
tion of the House, on the first day of the session.
In all these anticipations we have been disap*
pointed. The Republicans have declined to nom
inate, and the South Americans have not given the
slightest indications of a determination to act with
the Democracy. If they 'do not, the prospect is
j that there will be a contest between parties in the
organization of the House, as protracted as that
With which the Thirty-fourth Congress opened,
and far more exciting and dangerous.
But, wc stiil hope that the Opposition members
from the South, will prove themselves worthy to
represent intelligent southern constituenci es, by
rising superior to all party prejudices, and acting
w ; th the Democratic party of the House. They
hold the balance of power between the Democrats
and the Black Republicans, and they are, therefore,
responsible for the organization of the House, and
for the character of that organization. They can
elect the Democratic nominee for speaker who is a
Southern man, and the representative of a party,
upon which alone the South can rely for the pro
tection of its plainest constitutional rights: or
they can persist in voting for a candidate from
their own number, and thus ultimately elect a
Black Republican Speaker, or defeat an organiza
tion—for one or the other of these will be the
inevitable result of such a course of action. Some
of the journals of the party which they represent,
have advised them to pursue this course; but we
are assured that it will not be sanctioned by their
constituents. There is an intense feeling of hos
tility among southern men, against the aggressive
sectional party of the North, which has overturned
all the party land-marks, which have been hereto
fore obstacles to their union. The great majority of
them to-day care nothing about party creeds, and
have no political feeling, except indignation
against the recent manifestations of the spirit and
designs of Black Republicanism. With them the
contest in the organization of the House, is a con
test between Black Republicanism and the South,
the result of which must be a death-blow to the
one or to the other, before another President of the
United States is inaugurated. In such a contest
they expect southern Representatives to do their
duty to the South, without reference to party, and
to act together against the common enemy of their
section. This is the feeling of southern men,
whether Democrats or Americans; and if the south
ern Americans in the House do not understand
and respect it, but act upon their party prejudices,
they will be guilty of a betrayal of their section
and their constituencies.
We still hope, as we have said, that the South
Americans will act with the Democrats of the
House, and thus secure the defeat of the Black Re
publicans and a national organization of that body.
Any later information from Washington, than
that which we have at the hour we write, if re
ceived, will be fouud in our telegraph column.

Democratic Meeting.
In pursuance of a previous call, a portiop of the
Democratic party of Richmond county assembled
at the City Hall, this evening, when on motion of
James M. Smythe, Esq., John C. Snead, Esq., was
called to the chair, and William H. Wheeler, Esq.,
requested to act as Secretary.
On motion, a committee of five was appointed
by the Chairman, for the purpose of reporting
business for the meeting.
The committee, after retiring, reported through
their Chairman, the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Democratic party of Rich
mond county have unabated confidence in the in
tegrity and ability of James Buchanan, and that
his administration, in the main, has been guided
by wisdom and justice, and maintained, and pro
moted, the honor of our country abroad and its
prosperity at home.
Resolved, That his prompt and patriotic course
in reference to the late outbreak at Harper’s Ferr 1 ',
has given additional assurance that bis administra
tion is determined to secure the equal rights of
every section of the Union, the South as well as
the North, and entitles it to the support of everv
patriot in the land.
Resoloed, That we regard the State Executive
Committee of the Democratic party as the only
body authorised to call a convention of the party,
to appoint delegates to the next national Demo
cratic convention, and believe that for many rea
sons the appointment of such delegates ought to
be postponed until the meeting of the convention
in March next, which has been called by that com
mittee; bat inasmuch as the Democratic members
of the Legislature have called a convention to
select de ©gates to Charleston, on the Bth instant
we appoint James:T. Nisbet, John Phinizy Jr.’
L. D. Lallerstedt, William 11. Wheeler, John B
Weems, James T. Gardner, Claiborne Snead, T.
Clanton, James M. Smytheand James McNair, del
egates to represent us in that convention with
power to act, as they may think prcfper. ’
On motion, the report of the committee was re
ceived and adopted.

W m. H. Wheeler, Secretary.
Death op Kit Carson. —Our advices from the
Overland route announce the death of the celebra
ted pioneer and explorer, Christopher Carson, at
Ttios, New Mexico, where he had been residing as
Indian Agent. The New York Times’ says: ‘‘Cat
son was a Dative of Kentucky, having been born in
Madison county, at the close of 1809. His father,
shortly after that period, retooved to Missouri’
where Kit, when a lad of fifteen, was apprenticed
to a saddler—occupying himself at that business
two years, at the end of which he joined a trapping
expedition, and a trapper he remained, until his
familiarity with the great far West rendered him
invaluable as a guide to esplorers of the Plains.
For eight years he acted as hunter at Bent’s Port.
When Col. Fremont engaged in his expeditions
Carson accompanied him, and was ever after his
steadfast companion. In 1847 he received the
rank of Leiutenant in the rifle corps, United States
Army. His latest and most remarkable exploit on
the Plains, was enacted in 1853, when he conduct
ed a drove of six thousand sheep safely to Cali
fornia. — Charleston Courier, I\ov. 26.
The Governor’s Veto in the Choice Case.
Executive Department, 1
Milledgbvillb, Dec. 1, 1)59. f
To the Senate: 1 herewith return the bill enti
tled ad act to pardon Wm. A. Choice, of Fulton,
now under the sentence of death, for the crime of
murder, without my sanction. The seventh sec
tion of the second article of the Constitution of
this State, is in these words : “He, (the Govern
or), shall have power to grant reprieves for of
fences against the State, except in cases of im
peachment, and to grant pardons or to remit any
part of a sentence, in all cases after conviction,
except for treason or murder, in which cases, he
may respite the execution, and make report there
of to the next General Assembly, by whom a par
don may be granted.” Looking to this isolated
section of the Constitution, I once doubted wheth
er ihe whole power to pardon, in cases of murder
and treason, was not vested exclusively in the
General Assembly, and whether it was necessary
to the passage of such a bill, or its validity as a
law, that it be submitted to the Governor for his
approval, or whether he had any du*y to perform,
or any responsibility to incur, in giving validity to
the enactment. But an examination of other sec
tions ot the Constitution, which must be construed
in connection with the section above quoted, re
moves all doubt upon this question, and satisfies
my mind that it is as much the duty of the Gov
ernor to rivise and approve, or disapprove a bill of
this character, as it is to sanction, or refuse to sanc
tion any other bill. It is true, the above section
of the Constitution vests the pardoning power in
cases of murder, in the General Assembly; and it
is also true that the second section of the first ar-
ticle of the Constitution vests the entire legislative
power in the General Assembly. It is in these
words: “The legislativepower shall be vested in
two separate and distin'ct branches, to wit: A Sen
ate and House of Representatives, to be styled the
General Assembly.” But these grants of power to
the General Assembly are alike qualified by the
temh and eleventh sections of the second article of
the Constitution, which are in these words:
Section 10. He, (the Governor,) shall have the
revis ; on of oil bills passed by both Houses, before
the same shall become laws, but two-thirds of both
Houses may pass a law, notwithstanding his dis
sent, and if any bill shall not be returned by the
Governor within five days after it hath been pre
sented to him, the same shall be a law; unless the
General Assembly by their adjournment shall pre
vent its return.
Section 11. Every vote, resolution, or order, to
which the co ncurrence of both Houses may be ne
cessary, except on a question of adjournment, shall
be presented to the Governor; and before it shall
take effect be approved by him; or, being disap
proved, may be re passed by two-thirds of both
Houses, according to the rules and limitations
prescribed in case of a bill.” If, therefore, this be
a bill or a vote, a resolution or order of the Gen
eral Assembly, to which the concurrence of both
Houses is necessary, it is the duty of the Governor
to revise it, and approve or disapprove it.” The
circumstances of the killing as detailed in evidence
in this case, are substantially as follows: Calvin
Webb was an officer in the city of Atlanta, and as
such had in his hands a bail process against Choice,
the prisoner, for ten dollars. On the night before
the killing, he met Choice who, It was alleged, was
about to leave the State for New York, and in
formed him of the fact that he had the process in
his hands, and desired him to arrange for the set
tlement of the claim. Choice desired Webb to re
lease him upon his promise that it should be ar
ranged. Webb reused to do so, and some un
pleasant words passed. About this time, Col.
Glenn stepped into the room w here the parties were,
and Choice asked him to stand as surety for him.
Col. Glenn agreed to see the debt paid, and with
this Webb expressed himself saiisfied. After this
Choice, who was at the time excited by the use of
intoxicating liquors, cursed and abused Webb.
Col. Glenn interfered and prevented any difficulty,
after which Webb left the room. Next morning
between ten and eleven o’clock, Webb and an
other gentleman were walking the street some
distance from the car shed in Atlanta, and saw
Choice a few steps from them. Not a word
had been spoken, when Choice presented a pis
tol; Webb begged him not to shoot. He im
mediately fired one shot, which did not take effect
He again, presented the pistol and fired a second
time. The ball entered the body of Webb, and he
exclaimed! I am a dead man; after which he
walked a few steps and fell dead. This summary
of the substance of the facts connected with the
killing presen tsprimafacie, a most unprovoked and
agrivated case of murder. The deceased on the
night previous had only discharged his duty as a
public officer, for this the defendant had cursed and
abused him, and on meeting him next day, without
the slightest provocation, he drew his pistol and
deliberately took the life of the officer. If pardons
are to be extended in such cases, what protection
does the iaw afford to public officers, and what en
couragement have they faithfully to discharge
their duties'? It is said, however, that the de
fendant was insane at the time the act was com
mitted, and not therefore, legally or morally re
sponsible for his conduct. If the fact exists, the
conclusion naturally follows: Was he insane?
The law presumes that he was of sane mind, till
the contrary is proven, and when the fact that the
homicide was committed by him is established,lhe
burden of proving the insanity, is cast upon the
defendant. Evidence was introduced before the
court and jury who tried the case, to sustain this
plea. The learned and able Judge in a clear and
forcible manner, expounded to the jury the rules
of law 7 by which they were to be governed in the
investigations. They applied the evidence to
these rules of law, and by their verdict of guilty,
decided that tte plea of insanity have not been
sustained. After a careful examination of the evi
dence in the case, and a long personal acquaint
ance with the defendant, I am* satisfied that the
decision was correct, and-that the insanity was
only the temporary phrenzy which is produced by
a fit of intoxication ; which, by the express terms
of our statute, is declared to be no excuse for any
crime or misdemeanor. It may have been true that
the defendant, on account of injuries received upon
his head some years since, bad some predisposi
tion to insanity, and that he was, on that account,
more easily excited by the use of intoxicating li
quors, but I entertain no doubt that the excessive
use of these stimulants was the exciting and imme
diate cause of mental derangement at the time of
the killing. In a word, the defendant was drunk,
and his reason was, for the time, dethroned by the
intoxication. He was in the habit of indulging to
excess, and on these occasions, he is said by the
witnesses, to have been a very dangerous man.
Since the commission of this offence, he has been
confined in prison, and denied the privilege of his
former excesses, and it seems that nothing more
has been heard of his insanity. If on account of
his wound received years since, his predisposition
to insanity was such, that excitement alone would
produce it, why have the exciting scenes through
which he has passed since his imprisonment and
during his trial, failed to have that effect? If on
account of mental derangement produced by his
own voluntary act, he is to-be excused for reck
lessly taking the life of an innocent human being,
and again turned loose upon the community;
what guaranty have we that another victim mav
not soon fall by his hands in a like fit of voluntary
madness?
In determining a question of the character of
the one now under consideration, I should be un
faithful to the high trust reposed in me, if I should
permit my reason to be overcome by my sympa
thies. No act of my life has been more unpleasant
than the one I now perform. No one has a higher
appreciation of the character of the relatives of
defendant, and no one would more sincerely rejoice
to be able to soothe the feelings of a mother, whose
heart, pierced with anguish, now languishes with
untold grief. But if it were proper for me, on this
occasion, to be influenced by considerations of this
nature, I should do wrong were I to contemplate
the sufferings on one side, and refuse to look upon
the picture of misery on the other. A few months
since, the family of Webb, the deceased, were com
fortable and happy. His wife and little children
had the care and protection of a fond husband and
a kind father. But in a moment of time, by the
cruel act of the defendant, the wife a widow 7 , and
the children orphans, were left to mourn their irre
parable loss, and were thrown upon the cold char
ities of the world, almost friendless and pennyless,
to make their way through life as best as they
can, poor and neglected. But duty forbids that I
should be influenced by the contemplation of this
scene of misery on either side. The laws must
be vindicated aDd crime must be punished, or so
ciety cannot be protected. And courts and juries
must be sustained in the administration and exe
cution of the criminal laws of the land, or violence
and bloodshed will prevail to an extent that will
excite and prompt our people to take the law info
their own hands, in the belief that it is the only
protection left them. lam not unmindful, while
making this decision, that the pardoning power
is a necessary one in every well regulated govern
ment, and that there are some cases, in which it
ought to be exercised. As in cases of partiality,
prejudice, or highly excited feelings on the part of
the court or jury, by whom the case was tried
rendering it highly probable that injustice
wag done the defendant; or on account of per
jury or mistake on the part of any of the wit
nesses for the State which is afterwards dis
covered, and which may have materially influ
enced the verdict against the defendant; or in
cases of conviction upon such slight evidence that
lhe mind is left in great doubt about the guilt of
the defendant, or in cases of extreme youth; in
these, and possibly a few other instances,.where
injustice is likely to be'done, and when the reme
dy is no longer within the reach of the courts, the
humanity of our Constitution has wisely vested in
another department of the government, snaple
power to prevent the injustice, by extending a
pardon, and thus annulling the judgment of the
court. But it should not be forgotten that this
power is subject to be greatly abused, and that it
was not the intention of those who formed our
Constitution that the verdict of juries and the
judgments of the courts should be indiscriminately
annulled by 7 its exercise ; and felons convicted of
atrocious crimes thereby turned loose again upon
the community. The extension of mercy to such
offenders is the infliction of cruelty and injustice
upon such society. 77
I am also aware that it is urged that the pardon
ing power is a God-like power and that it is noble
to exercise it. But it should not be forgotten,
when this argument is urged, that God himself re
quired no less than the blood of his own son as an
atonement for sin, before he exercised the pardon
ing power. “And without shedding of blood is
no remission,”4is the language of His eternaljtruth.
God has said In his revealed law that “the mur
derer shall surely be put to death,” “Moreover,
ve shall take no satisfaction for the life of a mur
derer, which is guilty of death ; but he shall be
surely put to death.” “So ye shall not pollute the
laud waerein you are ; for blood it detileth the
land, and the land cannot be cleamed of the blood
that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that
shed it.” If then we would respect the revelations
of God, and save our land from the stain of inno
cent blood, we must execute the law and punish
the guilty. Some may say that the stern truths Os
the Bible are not suited to the humanity and sym
pathy of the present age. They are none the less
truths, however, on that account; and it is none
the less certain that the curse of God will rest upon
that State or nation, which disregards them, and
that his blessings will attend those who obey them.

A Dutchman Abroad.
“ Hello, friend, can you tell me the way to Read
ing?” inquired a down-easter the other day, of a
Pennsylvania Dutchman, whom he found hard at
work beside the road a few miles from Reading.
“ Oh, yaw, I could tells you so petter as any
body. You must fust turn de barn round, de
pritch over and brook up stream, den the fust
house you come to ish my proder Hans’ pig barn;
dat ish de piggest barn dere is on dis road, it is
eighteen feet von vay, and eighteen feet back
again. My proder Hans tho’t to thatch it mit
shingles, but he sc;ld dem and shingled it mit
straw, and clap boarded it mit rails. After you
go py my proder Hans’ pig barn, de next house
you come to ish a hay stack of corn stalks bilt mit
straw, but you must not stop dere, too. Den you
goes along till you gomes to tree loads, den you
gits lost. Den you must gits over der fence into
a great pig pen, mit no fence round it. Den you
take der road upon your shoulder, and go down so
fur as der pritch, den you turn right pack agin.
Ven you ish cornin’ back, you comes by a house
dat stands right back alongside of a leetle yaller
dog. He runs out and sez, pow, wow, de house
bites a leetle piece out of your leg, den he runs
and schumps into an empty pig pen dat has four '
scheep in it. Den you looks way up de hill down
in de swamp dere, and sees a plue white house,
painted red, mit two front doors on der outside.
Well, dere ish where my proder Hans lives, and
he would tell you so better as I could. I don’t
know.
Wall, I swow 7 , by hokee, mister, you are about
as intelligent as aunt Jeremy, but I reckon as how
you don’t know her, though she’s dumb. But I
say, yeou, why don’t you dig out them sesky
weeds, hey ?
“Oh ! dear me, I hash had very pad luck. Yon
or two days next veek mine proder Han’s poonkin
proke into my pig patch, ond when I drove them
home, every leetle poonkin catch up. one leetle pig
in its mouth, and den der run thro' der tyful as if
der fence vos after dem, and a post tumbled over
me, and I’m almost kilt., I am.”
“Phew, dew till!”
“Den I tinks as how I must take me a vrow, so
l goes to Readen and tells Kattareen if she would
take me for w 7 orse or for better, and she say ‘yaw.’
So I takes her home, and she eats seven quarts
sour-krout, and went to bed well ’nuff, but in de
morning she shumps up dead. She vos a very
heavy loss—she weigh more as tree hundred and
seventy pounds! Den mine little boy takes sick

You are overrun with a deluge of the vilest compounds,
In the form of “Alcoholic Drinks,” that ever emanated from
that pest of society 7 , the Liquob M ixek. They are sold to
you as a luxury, or they are dispensed to you as a medicine
and In either case, the effect is the same.
There is but one way to escape, and that is, to use, as a luxu
ry. or a medicament, a safe and reliable stimulant, sold under
Stamp and Seal, which renders it certain that it has not been
tampered with. Such an article is CHARLES’ LONDON
CORDIAL GIN, which is distilled under inspection of the
British Government, is delicately flavored, (unlike any other
Gin), with some of the most valuable restoratives of the Vege
table Kingdom, and is by far thejrnost healthy beverage exj
tant.
The most eminent Physicians of Europe and America, not
only recommend its use by the hale and hearty, hut preset ibe
it as a medicine where a stimulant as required.
Dr. Valentine Mott, of New York, says: “It is the best ar
ticle of the kind I have ever seen.”

a certain relief in sufferings of a periodical character.

COGNAC BRANDY, in Bottles, both for Medical and Pri
vate ate. The immense success which has crowned my ef
io teto place a Pure Gin within the reach of all, under the
name of AROMATIC SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, and to
drive out of the market the pernicious compounds sold as Gin
throughout the country, led many leading Druggists, Apothe
caries, and Medical men, f„r some years past, to solicit me to
pursue the same course in regard to the article of Brandy. I
should iiave complied with these requests, from all quarters,
long ago. but was deterred from it by the fact that, owing to
the exorbitant prices of Brandy in France, consequent upon
the shortness of the Grape crop for some years, there was no
chance of my being able to import the choicest Brandy, bot
tle it, and sell It at moderate prices. Fortunately for me, the
Grape crop for the last and previous yetr, (and the prospect
for this), was abundant, and the prices of Brandy have fallen
to the standard of ten years ago. The duty on Brandy is also
seventy per cent, lower, aud I have now made arrangements
with four Brandy exporters in France, of the highest repute,
and am regularly receiving consignments of the Cognac Bran,
dy, which I am bottling and selling as WOLFE’S GENUINE
COGNAC BRANDY. I guarantee with my Seal, Labels,
and Certificates, the Brandy so bottled by me, as the pure, un
adulterated article ; and it will be found, when used as a medi
cine,a beverage, or a cordial, healthful ami invigorating. It
has been a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of pure
unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult to obtain ; and the
purchaser, nine times in ten, was deceived with a vile manu
factured imitation. Os a'l descriptions of ardent spirits,
Brandy, from Its high price, has been the one article that mix
ers and sellers have turned their attention to ; and millions of
gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annuallythrough the land, and have been the primary cause
of murders, suicides, cruelties, and crimes, and have sent
thousands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from delirium
tremens, mania-a-potu, and horrors, names unknown, until un
principled men began to make maddening compounds, and
sell it as the pure French Brandy.
The virtues of pure French Brandy need not be told by me.
They are known throughout the world as a medicine, or mild
stimulant. It is, as the French nation poetically call itu “Eau
de la vie”—the wafer of life. But this appliesto it only when
pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful in
gredients that make a good imitation, it becomes a death drink
tolnnocent tens of thousands of our race. To remedy a fear
ful evil, I have commenced Importing Brandy, bottling it, and
selling it as WOLFE’S GENUINE COGNAC BRANDY.

caries in all parts of the Union, to sell It for medical purposes.

rw Nature is the Great Ph ysieian.- -This is now
admitted by the medical profession as a fundamental principle
of healing science. It is wisely provided by the human eco
nomy that, whenever anything is wrong in the physical sys
tem, the natural forces of the body are brought to bear to ex
pel the disease. The great aim therefore, is, to strengthen the
natural powers. This has been kept in view by the skillful
compounder? of DR. J. HOSTETTER’S BITTERS, which
operate to give fresh vitality to all the organs of the body.
The euects of this medicine -upon the Stomach, the Liver and
the Kidneys, are prompt and decisive. The patient who Is
wise enough to quit drugging and try the BITTERS, soon
feelß as if he had taken a new lease of life; and as he con.
tinues the use of the article, he Is overjoyed to find the streams
of health coursing through his frame. Let all from whose
cheek the bloom has departed give DR. J. HOSTETTER’S

From the eminent Manufacturing Chemists, Messrs. Potts &

Dear Sir: RHODES’ SUPER PHOSPHATE has been
applied by me this year, on a small scale, to both Com and
Cotton. The result exceeded my expectation, although the
experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could not, be
conducted with due caution ; yet, I am entirely satisfied that
the growl b of Weed, in both instances, and the fruit in Corn,
and in the number of bolls of Cotton, were fully double the
yield in the portions unmanured, and this when only a table
spoonful of the Super-Phosphate was applied as a top-dress
ing to each hill of Corn, and a tea-spoonful to each stalk of
Cotton—aud the last as late in the season as the 18th of July
Some of the Weed g;-ew to nine feet high, with six feet
branches, covered with bolls, while the unmanured was not
half so good. It Is my intention next year to test it more ful
ly, Very respectfully,
Your most ob’t serv’t,

Union Point, (O. R. R.), Nov. 23,1859.
Messrs. J. A. Ansley *Co Gents: I bought a ton of
RHODES’ SUPER-PHOSPHATE in Baltimore, last spring
through Mr. H. D. Leitner, of Rerzelia, to test its value as*a
Manure. I put about 125 pounds on an acre of Cotton, in the
drill, on land that would not make over 75 to 100 pounds cf
Seed Cotton per acre, without Manure. The resuit is entirely
satisfactory. I have made at least 450 to 500 pounds to the
acre on this very poor land. I expect to purchase from sto 8
tons for my spring crop. My Overseer wishes me to put his
name to tnis also.
