SATURDAY MORNING, DIC. 10, 1859.
The Democratic State Convention.
Our Milledgevilie correspondent has furnished
us an account of the first session of the Democrat
ic State convention, held at MtUedgeville on Thurs
day afternoon, which may be found on the first
page of our issue this morning. The Dispatch ot
yesterday afternoon, in its editorial correspon
dence from Milledgerile, has also an account of
this session of the convention, which contains some
information not embraced in that of our corres-
From these two accounts, we have gathered
enough to convince us that the convention was a
lamentable failure, as we have repeatedly predict
ed that it would be. Sixty counties in the State
were not repreeented in it, and a very large ma
jority of those which were, were represented, not
by delegates selected for that purpose, but by
members of the Legislature, who constituted them
selves delegates.
The Democratic members of the Legislate! e,
from the Second Congressional district, in a *
protested against the convention, and refused to
participate in its proceedings.
Almost all of the members of the Legislature
and delegates in attendance from the Fourth Con
gressional District, withdrew ;rom the convention.
After their withdrawal, the convention consisted
of a portion of the members of the Legislature,
and about a dozen delegates from three or four
counties, who had beenjappomted by primary meet,
ings in those counties, and so constituted, we sup
pose, that it (at its night session on Thursday ever
ning, of which we have no account) erected a
platform for the Democracy of the State to stand
upon in the next Presidential election, and appoint
ed delegates to the Charleston convention.
The correspondence of the Dispatch contains the
resolutions referred to by our correspondent, as
reported to the convention by its committee on
business. They are as follows :
Resolved, That we will send delegates to the
Democratic convention, to be held in Charles
ton ; that we pledge ourselves to the support of
the nominee of that convention, upon the con
dition that it determines to maintain the equal
ity of the States, and the rights of the South;
that we will yield nothing to those rights for the
take of harmony, but will demand a firm, strict,
and unqualified adherence to the doctrines and
principles on the subject of slavery, and the rights
ofjtbe South in the common territories of the Union,
which have oeen recently declared by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Resolved, That as Georgians, we are proud o!
our distinguished fellow-citizen,Hon. Howell Cobb,
the present able and efficient Secretary of the
Treasury; and that it is a source of pride and grat
ification to us to present his name to the conven
tion as one worthy and well qualified to fill the
high office of President of the United States.
Resolved, That, with this expression of our.opin
ion, our delegates to the National Democratic
Nominating Convention shall be untrammelled in
their action, except as to the selection of a candi
date representing the principles indicated in the
first tesolution.
Resolved, That we recommend that the conven
tion select four delegates for the State at large,
and that each Congressional District present the
names of two persons as delegates to said conven
tion, and should there be a District without repre
sentation, then that this convention proceed to
elect delegates for the unrepresented District.
It also cantains the following in reference to the
delegates who will probably be appointed:
The delegates will be selected to-night. It is
probable that the following will be the delegates
from the districts named :
First District—J. L. Seward, J. Hartridge.
Second District—Withdrew from the conven
tion.
Third District—E. L. Strocheckor, Col. L. B.
Smith.
Fourth Dislrict—Chiefly withdrew, can’t hear the
parties selected.
Fifth District—W. T. Wofford, T. J. Fain.
Sixth District—Hope Hull, S. J. Smith.
Seventh District—T. J. Lamar, L. H. Briscoe.
Eighth District—Barrow, of Oglethorpe, L.
Nelms.
From the State at large—J. H. Lumpkin, D. J.
Baley, T. Butler King, 1. T. Irvin, H. R. Jackson,
H. V. Johnson, are spoken of.J
We shall await a full report of the action of the
convetition, before expressing any opinion as to
the duty of the party in the premises.
j COMMUNICATED ]
To Jtiis Honor Janies M. Wayne, Justice
of the United States Circuit Court.
Sir: In your recent Charge to the Grand Jury,
at Savannah, you dwelt wholly, and to the length
of six closely printed columns of the Savaunah
Republican, upon the “Have Trade Acts.” This
you said you would do “ for the information of
our people at large.”
This publication of your opinion beyond the
doors of your court room, and the purpose for
which it was avowedly done, will acquit me of dis
courtesy to yourself in thus addressing you in a
manner equally as public as that in which your it
formation has been conveyed to me.
I desire to be, at all times, free from a contro
versial spirit; I am ever ready to be instructed;
and I hold myself under obligation'to those of my
fellow-citizens who improve opportunity to impart
information in such a manner that it can reach m}-
self. As you have generously considered it com
patible with your personal and official dignity to
give me the benefit of your opinion, as a Judge,
upon these slave trade acts, may I not hope that
you will condescend to remove certain doubts
which yet obtrude themselves before my vision ?
You will not, 1 am assured—as men of narrow
minds would— make the fact that lam an anony
mous scribbler au excuse for withholding that
farther information which ts certainly necessary
to my mind before I can be an enlightened up
holder of the law, as you expound it.! On the con
trary, with a magnanimity wbicb ever distinguishes
the learned, you will perceive that it is the duty of
the public instructor to continue his teachings,
and to explain his explanations, by “precept up
on precept, and line upon line,” until his pupils
Bhall clearly perceive the reason and feel the force
of conviction.
But that you may remove my doubts, I must
state their cause, which I now proceed to do as
briefly and intelligibly as I can.
I have always understood, as I presume you will
tell me, that every enactment of the Federal Con
gress must be founded upon some power delegat
ed in the Constitution, and that any statute
enacted by that body is of no force if it has no
basis in the organic law. My perplexities now
arise from an uncertainty whether the Constitu
tion has vested in our Federal Government a
power broad enough to sustain that portion of the
slave trade acts which forbids American citizens
to engage in any way in transporting slaves from
one foreign port to another.
The first of these slave trade acts you allude to
in the following terms :
“The first act was passed on the 22d March, 1794,
when General Washington was President. It was
intended to prevent any citizen or resident of the
United States from equipping vessels wiihin the
United States, to carry on trade or traffic in slaves
to any foreign country. That is, though slaves
might be brought into the United States until the
year 1808, in vessels fitted out in our ports for that
purpose, they could not be carried by our citizens
or residents in the United States in such vessels
into any foreign country."
"This act,” you continue, “is still in force.” If
it is in force, it must be a constitutional act; else
it was your duty to have informed the Grand Jury
and “our people at large,” that it was unconstitu
tional, void, and not in force.
I» surely will not be sa.d by any one that Con
gress denied their power to pass this act from the
first clause of the ninth section, Article Ist; be
cause in 1794 the prohibition upon ihe power of
Congress, in that clause, bad not expired bv near
ly fourteen years, and because that cluuse bad no
reference to the transportation of slaves from » ne
foreign port to another; but only empowered
Congress, by implication, to forbid their migra
tion or importation into our home p rts.
I suppose, therefore, that you mean to justify
the act of 1794, as well as of that of 1800, upon the
power to regulate commerce with foreigu nations,
and also, upon the power “to define aud punish
piracies ’and fellonies committed on the high seas,
and offences against the law of nations; for you
aav- “Asa matter of commerce, the power of
Conzresa to regulate the foreign slave trade is
plenary and conclusive. As it affects navigation
and ths police of the ocean and seas, the power
Sven to define and punish piracies and felonies
pu the high seas is without limitation. Aud in so
far as it affects intercourse with the inhabitants of
another continent, and the relations which shall
exist between our citizens and those inhabitants,
the power of Congress to determine upon that in
tercourse, and to control the citizens of the United
States in regard to it, is absolute and uncondi
tional.
I confess that I have long doubted the constitu
tionality of these acts of 1794, and 1800, and of all
other Federal legislation, which has gone to the
length of prohibiting our own citizens from engag
ing in the slave trade between foreign countries.
1 have never believed that the third and fourth
clauses of the eight section, giving to the General
Government the power of regulating commerce and
punishing piracies, Ac., were intended, or could
vest any power for the suppression of the slave
trade even into our own country—or that those
clauses have any reference whatsoever to African
negroes. I was confirmed in that opinion bv read
ing the decision of the Supreme court in the case
of Dred Scott versus John F. A. Sanford.
On the seventeenth page of the opinion of the
Court, as delivered in that case, by Chief Justice
Taney, I read: *
“ But there are two clauses in the Constitution
which point directly aud specifically to the negro
race as a separate class of persons, See."
“One of these clauses, reserves to each of the
thirteen States, the right to import slaves until the
year 1808, if it thinks proper. *****
And bv the other provision the States pledge
themsejves to each other to maintain the right of
property of the master, by delivery up to to him
any slave who may have escaped from his ser
vice, Ac.”
Certainly neither of these two clauses, thus de
scribed, is either the third or tenth of the eighth
section; neither that give power over commerce
nor that to defend and punish piracies. Ac.
Turn now to the thirty-first page, of the same
opinion by Mr. Taney. . fie says :
“The only two provisions (of the Constitution,)
which 'point to them, (negroes,) and include them,
treat them as property, and make it the duty of the
Government to protect it; no other power, in rela
tion to this race, is to he found in the Constitution,
aud as it is a government of special delegated
powers, no authority beyond these two provisions
can be constitutionally exercised, Ac.”_‘.
If it be true, as I have myself believed, that
there are “only two provisions” which give Con
gress any power “in relation to this race,” then
does it not clearly follow that the two clauses de
scribed on page seventeen of the report, as the
importation and fugitive slave clauses, are the on
ly clauses that will sustain any act of Congress in
relation to negroes?
And if it be true that there are “only two pro
visions,” will you not feel yourself obliged jo re
verse thatjportion of your charge to the grand jury,
wherein you charge them that the act of 1794 and
that of 1800 are “stilt in force.” Will vou not
rather tell them, and “our people at large ?” that
the whole legislation of Congress has been utterly
unconstitutional, so far as it nas forbidden citizens,
or persons residing in this country, from carrying
slaves from one foreign country to another?
For you cannot discredit the opinion of the Su
preme Court, by saying that you do not go with
the Chief Justice, on those portions which I have
quoted, nor can you pronounce the extracts which
I have made from that opinion extra-judicial, or
obiter dicta. In proof, turn to the sixtieth page of
the same report, where it’says:
“Mr. Justice Wayne: concurring as I do en
tirely in the opinion of the court, as it has been
written and read by the Chief Justice—without
any qualification of its reasoning, or its conclusions.
I shall neither read nor file an opinion of my own
in this case, Ac.
And a few lines farther on, Mr. Justice Wayne
continues: “Nothing belonging to the case has
been left undecided, nor has any point been dis
cerned and decided which was not called for by
the record, or which was not necessary for the
judicial disposition of it,”Ac.
The opinion of Mr. Justice Wayne closes with
the following emphatic endorsement of the opin
ion, as delivered by the Chief Justice :
“I have already said that the opinion of the Couit
has my unqualified assent.”
How can any one fail to perceive the conflict,
to characterise the discrepancy by no harsher
term —between the opinion to which you gave your
“unqualified assent in Washington, and that other
opinion which you have lately given in Savannah ?
But your charge acquires a wider and deeper
significance when vve consider that the same rule
of interpretation which is to be applied to the
power to regulate commerce with foreign nations,
must also be applied to tke power to regulate com
merce among the several States. For by your own
Dred Scott decision there is no clause in the Con
stitution limiting the power of Congress over ne
groes in the commerce among the several States.
Hence, if Congress has power to suppress the slave
trade outside the limits of the United States, she
has power to suppress it among the several States.
This has long been the doctrine of anti-slavery,
It is said to have been the position of Mr. Webster.
I do not think that you intended to clear obstruc
tions from a path through which slaveholders mav
be attacked in their right to carry slaves from the
States into the Territories. But the enemies of
slavery extension must be very stupid, if they can
not deduce from your position.authority for perpe
trating that which would be a foul wrong upon
your fellow citizens. Clericos.

Non-Intercourse.
This remedy for northern treason, suggested an<!
urged by the press, meets the approval of every
true southerner; and its adoption, universal and
complete,|will place the South in a position to dic
take terms, rather than to receive them at the
hands of the Black Republicans.
But a grave question arises. How is it to be
brought about? The means are within ourselves,
but their development is a work of time and pa
tience.
We must, by encouraging’ in our midst, every
species of home industry, gradually replace with
southern products every article of consumption,
now shipped to us from the North.
As the case now presents itself, we find that we
sleep on northern bedsteads, covered with north
ern bedclothes—on rising, we step on northern
carpets, put on northern slippers,, wash in north
ern basins, wipe on northern towels, dress in
northern clothes, made by northern tailors. We
eat from northern china, ride in northern car
riages, drawn by northern horses, equipped with
northern harness.
Our State railroad uses northern locomotives,
our laws are printed in northern ink, on northern
presses, with northern type, on northern paper.
Uur troops parade with northern arms, charged
with northern powder and nor:bern lead. We eat
northern butter, beef, and fish, swallow northern
pills and drugs.
These tacts none can deny; and yet so far,almost
the only step made to rid ourselves of this incu
bus of dependence on the North consists in the
I passiug ot resolutions! The North will be abun
dantly satisfied if we go no further. They love
us to talk, if we give them the profits of our “trade.
Then let us be up and doing, and by activity
and energy overcome the obstacles in our path,
and become a self-producing, direct importing, in
dependent people.
To this end, let our Legislature extend substan
tial aid and encouragement, enact laws that will
keep State patronage at home. Encourage such
men as Mark A. Cooper, who strive to bring to
light the hidden treasures of the earth, and who
are only restrained by want of capital.
Let mechanics and manufacturers be assisted
by the banks and capitalists. To show to what
extent this is done at the North, I will mention a
fact within my own knowledge: A New England
er offered to sell in this State a large bill oi ma
chinery on one and two years time. I asked how
it was possible (or mechanics to sell on such long
time. He replied, that the banks in his city
would discount that long paper at six per cent,
interest.
®Does any one believe that a bank in this city
would do the same, even for six months’ paper, to
accommodate a mechanic ? If compelled to realise,
the chances are, that the poor fellow would be
forced into the clutches of the money sharpers,
who would accommodate him at two or three per
cent. a month. To meet this shark, he must
charge greater prices, and thereby drives the trade
to cheaper, and usually northern markets.
Most of our banks think that in doing the cotton
business, they discharge iheir duty towards the
public, and that they will aid the mechanic or
manufacturer, when they caunot do better with
their money.
Such short sighted policy will never build up
the State. Let them move the cotton crop but let
them also devote a part of their means to’the fos
tering of other industrial pursuits—those which
will keep southern money at home instead of
sending it North into the Black Republican work
shops, enriching the foul traitors, who reciprocate
by abusing us and our institutions.
Encourage our youth to become mechanics and
manufacturers, instead of lawyers and doctors.
Let us raise our own school masters and mis
tresses, and spend our summers and our money
among our own mountains.
By such actioD, aud only by such, can we hope to
become independent of the north.
It can be done. Then let us do it. B.

the originator of this article by the use of Machineiv.”
American Farmer, 1857^^
We sold this valuable last season upon well au
thenticaed reports, receivOTfrom other States,anti, so far as we
can learn, the experiment has beer, eminently successful. The
sales in our State show an increase of over 500 per cent, on
sales of previous vears—an increase unprecedented in the sale
of Fertilizers, which we think strong evidence of the great
value of this Guano, containing the elements necessary for
the growth of Crop and improvement of land, in rational pro
portions. It cannot fail to render satisfaction as long as the
article is kept up to its present standard. As a guarantee for
this, we can fully vouch, having ascertained thoronj hly the
character and standing ot Mr. John Kettlewell, of Batn
the proprietor of this article, of which we have additional as
surance by a letter of Hon. Howell Cobb, in which he says
that he is a personal friend of Mr. Kettlewell, of many years
standing; and that he can commend him in every respect as a
gentleman worthy of regard and confidence. On Cotton,
Corn, Wheat, Oats, Root Crops, Ac., it ha produced great le
sults—increasing the product to a very great extent. This
Manure is not a manufactured preparation, liable to changes
Irom one season to another ; but, as will be perceived from
the heading of this advertisement, is imported Guano of
choicest kinds, and has decided advantages over the Peruvian 1
Guano. First, in price ; second, in containing double the 1
Phosphate of Lime—the element to make Crop and improve 1
laud, with an abundance of Ammonia ; and thirdly, the fine
and dry condition—making it ready for immediate use. Mr. (
Kettlewell’s enterprise has been so successful that many imi
tationsare now forced upon the public ; some mere mixtures
of doubtful Guano, hand and shove], claiming to be Manipu- <
lated Guano ; other Guano with but little Phosphate of Lime,
and no Ammonia. And we think it would be well for Plant- '
e:3 to use proper discrimination. Certificates regarding the
use of this Guano, from prominent Planters of our State,
could he added ; but we deem it entirely unnecessary refer
ring to Pamphlets on hand and in circulation for further in
formation. and letters at our office.
As the harbor of Baltimore is tVequ ntly closed byiice obstruct
ing navigation, it would be well for onr patrons and Planters
to send in their orders at once. We are expecting a supply
from Baltimore at an early day, and will sell at *SO per Ton for
No. 1 ; *sl per Ton for No. 2. It is put up in handsome i
Sacks. Ihe mode of application is very simple—sown broad- (
cast in hill or drill, in quantity as Peruvian Guano—say from
*OO to 300 pounds per acre. The more liberally it is applied, j
the better for.Crop and Land. Terms cash, or equivalent.

Dr. Hostetler’s Celebrated Stomach Bitters
have proved such a certain cure for all diseases of the Stomach,
that no one can for a moment question its efficiency in the
most dreadful ani alarming cases. For many years we have
watched its steady progress In public es'lmation, and its bene
fleient effects as a cure for all complaints arising from the
Stomach, of a morbid nature, end we are free to say that 11
can be relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its pro
prietor has made the above preparation, after years of careful
study and sitting, and Is now reaping the reward claimed by
this valuable specific, and which he so richly merits. It to the
only preparation of the kind that is reliable In all cases, and It

TS*~ To the Be-Drugged and Poisoned Citizens of
the South.
You are overrun with a deluge of the vilest compounds,
[ lo tho form of “Alcoholic Drinks,” that ever emanated from
that pest of society, the .Liquor Mixkb. 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 healthy beverage ex‘
’ tant. *
The most eminent .t'hysicians of Europe and America, not
- only recommend its use by the hale and hearty, but prescribe
r it as a medicine where a stimulant as required,
e DrrValentine Mott, of New York, says: “It is the best ar
tide of the kind I have ever seen.”
The female sex will find it not only a pleasant Cordial, but
> a certain relief in sufferings of a periodical character.
> Analytical Chemists of all ranks pronounce it perfectly
8 pure, and its restoratives merits incomparable. Buy only
CHARLES’. None other is imported.

Sherry Wine —l am now supplying tbe Trade with Pure
COGNAC BRANDY, in Bottles, both for Medical and Pri
, vate use. The Immense success whicli lias crowued my ef
foitsto 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, for some years past, to solicit me to
i pursue the same course in regard to the article of Brandy. I
should have 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 year, (and the prospect
for this), was abundant, and the prices of Brardy have fallen
to the standard of ten years ago. The dut yon Brandy is also
seventy per cent, lower, and 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 rnedi
cine, a beverage, or a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It
lias 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, lias been the one article that mix
ers and sellers have turned tlielr attention to ; and millions of
gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annually through 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 it, “Eau
de la vie’’—the water of life. But this appliesto it only wheD
pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful in
gredients that make a good imitation, it becomes a death drink
to Innocent 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.

DALY’S
AROMATIC VALLEY
WHISKY!
TN this age of adulterated and deleterious Liquors, it is a
r J. source ot great satisfaction to be able to introduce to pub
e He notice the above article—an article of unquestioned purity
and possessing no qualities except such as have the most favor
able influence on the human constitution.
A few roods of soil on the banks of the Rhine produce the
r. grape, which will flourish no wlicie else, from whose juice pro
ceeds the “Johannisberg,” the choicest wine of the world.
A few acres of land in Cuba produce a Tobacco, the flavor
3 and quality of which, when manufactured into Segars are in
l comparably superior to that of the product of any other soil
And a nanow strip of land in the Parish of Natchitoches in
Louisiana, has long supplied the world with a super-excellent
) article of Snuff, from such Tobacco as cannot be induced to
l grow elsewhere.
In like manner, it has long been known that a limited terri
’ tory, lying in the valley of the Monougahela river, exclusive
5 ly brings forth a Rye, of properties so marked and pecu iar
i that its distillation produces a Whisky of such superlative
, character as places it beyond rivalry.
By a process recently discovered, and now known only to
- my manufacturer, the grain from the choicest spot of this fa
‘ vorei locality is made to yield the AROMATIC VALLEY
I WHISKY, with whi hno other can stand an instant’s com
parison.
1 1 have no apprehension of being accused-of publishing un
i warrantable, or even exaggerated encomiums, by any one who
, will flist subject my Whisky to the test.
It is now tne standard article at all tlie first class Hotels and
’ Clubs in the city of New York; and wherever it is lntioduced
. it at once assumes its leading position ;is awarded the Palm
i of Superiority ; and the demand for It becomes a thing estab
lished.
Its medicinal properties are such that, while its immediate
effects are pleasant and grateful, it exercises the happiest per
manent influence upon tli constitution.
_ ihave analyzed a sample of DALY’S AROMATIC VAL
LEY WHISKY, and find it to be a pure article, of fine flavor
and without any deleterious admixture.

Messrs., ,J. A. Ansi,ky A Co.—-Gents* I bought a ton of
RHODES SUPER-PHOSPHATK in Baltimore, last spring,
through Mr. H. D. Leitner, of Berzelia, to test its value as a
Manure. I put about 126 pounds on an acre of Cotton, in the
drill, on laud that would not make over 75 to 100 pounds of
heed Cotton per acre, without Manure. The result is entirely
satisfactory. I have made at least 450 to 800 pounds to the
acre on this very poor land. I expect to purchase from 6to 8
