OOV BEOWN S VETO OF THE BANK BILL-
Ex*ct TiVM Lkpakthunt, i
Miu.KiKiitvu.Lß, Oi-i Nuv- 30*b, I>6o. S
To the SenaU :
The bill entitled “An Act to grant relief to the
bank and people of this Sute, and to repeal cer
un clauses o't.heaU entitled an act to provide
KHiinst the forfeiture ot the several bank char
ters"in this State, on account of .he non-spec.e
pavmen , for a K in time, and for other purpo-
KpLsed in the rear 1557; and to suspend the
pains and penalties imposed upon several banks
and their officers, in tins State,.for the non-payment
„f specie and for other purposes is herewith
returned without approval; lor the general rta
sons against legalising bank suspension contain
ed ,n my message to ‘bt Senate accompanying
the return of a similar bill, on the J2d day of
December 1*57. As the reasons given in that
message against the justice and policy of such a
law lit* the one proposed by thts bill, are fresh in
the minds of the people of this bilate, 1 do not
d-en. it necessary to repeat them here in dete .
They have been the subject of much discussion,
and’ have been sanctioned and sustained by he
people, at the ballot box. U may be claimed that
iha circumstances are d.tTereut From those which
existed in December, 18/7. At tlie time of the
passage ot that act of 1357, the banks of mostof
the States in this Union, bad suspended. The
banks of the State of Lmh.ana formed an excep
tion. In that State the charters of the banks
were forfeited, if they suspended specie-payment;
and the Constitution of the State prohibited the
legislature Irorn passing any law to the
suspension. The consequence was, that the banks
ot that State, ueither suspended specie-payment,
nor did they suspend business. They made a
small sacrifice, and purchased alt the specie
needed to meet their obligations, and to furnish
the accommodations demanded for tiie purpose of
carving tho crops to market; while the banks in
most of the other States suspended, rather than
make the sacnGcc. The argument in 1>57 was,
that the banks in the great commercial cities
North, had suspende*!, and that it therefore
necessary for our banks to suspend, in self de
fence. Such is not the case at present; nor is
then.’ a kreiikTul suspension in the southern •
If then, the circumstances are now differen.
from those which existed in ’.557, that difference
is very unfavorable to the present application of
the hanks. .
In 1867, as uow, our legislators wore told, that
the suspension must he legalised, tor the benefit
not of the banks-but of the people. It was said
that the banks wouid discount, liberally, so soon
ms the suspension Pill should become a law, and
that they would at once relieve the people. We a. I
remember the result, loatc&tiot h
ally with tew excepted cases, they refused to dis
count at all; and property was greatly depreciated
in value. In a few days after the passage of that
act, exchange rose to three per cent - so that every
merchant wishing to send money North, to pay
debts, must pay three dollars out of every one
hundred, for exchange. The batiks may not have
sold exciiange at those rates when their own bills
were presented in payment for the exchange. That
act as well as the present, contained a clause
which prohibited the banks from selling exchange
ut a greater rate than oue per cent , when their
own Pills were presented in payment for the ex
change If, therefore, a citizen of this State pre
Rented to a bank its own bills for the purchase ol
exciiange, it was easv m reply, that the bank hail
no exchange lor sale ; but that the broker, near ot, •
bad If the bills of another bank were presented |
in payment, the statute did not forbid the receipt
of the three per cent.; and possibly, the hank had
exchange for sale. Why prohibit the bank from
taking more than one per cent, exchange only
when its own bills are presented in payment?
Whv not sav that it shall, in no case, take more
than one per cent, for exchange, ii it is not intend
ed so to word the statute as to enable the banks ■
to evade it at pleasure?
It is admitted at present by the advocates of this
bill, that the banks are able to meet their liabili
ties, in gold and silver, and that an abundant sup
ply of specie can be purchased in the market, at a
premium of onlv one-fourth of one per cent, lhc
banks have had the advantages of prosperous
times, which have enabled them to realise large
profits, declare good dividends among their stock- j
holders, and pay good salaries to their officers. It ,
is now necessary tor them to pay a small premium
for specie, with which they can afford all the fa
cilities necessary to carry the crops to market, and ;
relieve the people. This they refuse to do, be
cause it would diminish their profits for a short
time. They prefer to dictate terms of suspension. |
While their bill is pending before the General As
sembly, in order to*produce a panic and alarm the j
people and their representatives, strong as the
banks are said to be, they refuse to discount a dol
.. oani.ol,***.",‘ ; — • Du*ineSS,
when their vaults are admitted to he wen u.ied j
with specie, and when a srtiatl sacrifice would keep
up the supply.
In consideration of the advantages which their
charters afford them over the people in times of
prosperity, is it not their duty to make a small
sacrifice, if necessary, for the benefit of of the peo
ple, in times of adversity?
The suspension of specie payments bv the
banks, is not for the benefit of the banks, but for
the benefit of the people. The constant efforts •
made bv bank men to practice upon popular cre
dulitv, by the declaration of this strange absurdi- j
ditv, are not a Itttle remarkable.
If this be true, why is it, when such a measure
is to be carried, that our lobbies are crowded with
bank presidents, bank directors, and bank stock- i
holders, who are constantly besieging the mem
bers of the Genera! Assemely with clamorous ap
peals for the passage of the bill, while the banks
with which they are connected co-operate with
them for the purpose of keeping up the excitement, !
by refusing to extend the smallest accommoda
ti'on to the people, till the bill is passed? Why
is it that these gentlemen never take upon them- !
serves to guard the people’s interest and spend
money to secure the passage of bills lb’ ough the j
Legislature, except when itts desirable to pass a
bank suspension bill? This is not the first time j
1 have seen all their influence brought to bear
upon the Legislature, for the purpose of accorn- 1
plishing an object m the midst of wild excitement .
and great alarm. The small number of members 1
of the present Geueral Assembly, who were hero
in 1*57. and voted for the batik bill of that year, j
will, 1 think, concur with me in the statement,
that the excitement at the Capital tu 1857, was
much greater than the advocates ot the present
bill have been able to create on this occasion. The
people then did not appreciate the favor confer
red on them, bv the passage of the law
If the planters, mechanics, ami oilier laboring
classes of our people, desire the banks to suspend,
and to pay them for their produce and labor, in
bills which they will not redeem in specie, and
with which our merchants wili not be able to put - ,
chase exchange without paying a heavy premium, j
whv have thev not sent delegates to demand the
passage of this act, and to ask the Legislature to
• Mve them suspended bank notes, as a currency, in .
place of gold or silver, or the bills of specie pay
ing banks ? The reason is obvious. The great
mass of the people have not seen the necessity fo{
the passage of any such law ; and do not desire j
it. They tiavc no speculation to make out of it ;
nor are tbev to be Denefitted by it. But we are
told that a suspensiou of specie payment by the
banks will make money plenty. Jb'w can this
be the case ? Will the suspension produce a blade
of grass ? or an ear of corn ? or a boll of cotton ?
or a dollar in gold or silver ? or in any other way
■add to the material wealth of the State ? No. .
But it is said the banks will issue more bills or
notes, and give those bills or notes to the planter,
for Ins cotton. What benefit will result irom this*
Will thev then give him gold or silver for the bills’
No. Thev are not willing t-> redeem those already
issued, with gold and silver. The plain truth is,
then, that the banks want to purchase, with their
bills, the planter’s cotton and other produce, for
which they can get gold ; and they want the au
thority of the Legislature for refusing to redeem
the bills given for it with the gold. But it is said .
the cotton crop cannot be carried to market, if the |
banks are not permitted to buy it, or to enable !
brokers, or cotton buyers under their control, to !
bnv it, with suspended batik biils.
Tli? present cotton crop is ad muted to be a short
one. The manufacturers of the world are obliged
to bare it; ami if every bank in Georgia were blot
ted out of existence, the cotton would still go to
market; and in ninety davs the planters would get
gold for it, if thev refused to take the bills of sus
pended banks. which are always at a heavy dis
count. Since 1357. the banks have growu more
imperious. Ther then demauded relief from the
suspension already made. They now demand le
gal authority in advance for their intended viola
tion of their promises, aud relief from all the
pains and penalties prescribed by law against their
bad faith.
Tbe second section of the act of 1857, as a pen
alty for the suspension and the refusal of a bank
to redeem its bills in specie, gave the bill holder
who might bring suit upou the bills of the bank,
ten percent, damages, in addition to tbe princtpal
and interest due him from the bank ; and provid
ed that the collection, when made under execution, !
should be in gold or silver. Tbe act of 17th De
cember lS5y, increased this penalty to twenty-five I
per cent
If a bank suspended and refused to redeem its ’
bills in specie, and the bill holder was obliged to i
have the bills protested, and to pay lawyers's fees, ;
to have suit brought upon them, the damages al
lowed as a penalty, by those statutes, to the bill
holder, amounted to “some compensation; and
would at least pay the attorneys’ fees, and save
him from the loss ol part of the debt due him !
bv the bank. The act now uuder considera
tion denies to tbe bill holder even this poor com
pensation. It enacts that “all and every, the j
pains and penalties, heretofore imposed upon the j
several banks and their officers, in sa’i State, by
anv previous legislation ot the General As-emoiy |
of the same, for failure or refusal of said banks, -
or their branches, to redeem their liabilities in
gold and stiver, when presented, according to tbeir
several cnarters, are hereby suspended, until tbe
first of December, 1~61.
The frieuds of the banks tell us that they are
strong ; that thev have plenty ot specie, and can
purchase additional supplies, if needed, for a very •
small premium. This bill, if it becomes a law, au
thorises them to suspend, and refuse either to pay
tiieir notes with the specie now in their vaults, or
to purchase more lor that purpose. One of our
citizens in the country, has one hundred dollars
of the bills of one of the banks, and wishes the
specie for them. He presents them at the counter
of the bank, and makes the demand. The cashier
informs him that the bank has gold plenty, but
that it does not wish to pay it out according to.
promise ; or, that it wishes to speculate upon the
gold, by sending it out of the State, to buy up the
notes of our merchants or others. He insists that
he needs the gold, as he cannot use the suspended
bank bills without sustaining a loss upon them,
aud reminds the cashier ot the promise of the
bank to pay spreie. The cashier replies; “Yonr
Legislature has authorised us to violate our prom
ise. It is true, we issue three, and often five del -
lars, in notes, for every one dollar in specie, in our
vaults; and we get interest from the people on
all these uotes, while we pay no interest to our
bill holders ; but we do not choose to pay the prin
cipal ; we prefer to speculate upon our money.”
The bill holder, probably, then desires to put ibe
claim in a condition that he may at least get in
terest on his bills.
He has them protested, and brings suit against
the bank. For this purpose, be must pav an at
torney’s fee out of trie amount due him from the
bank. The act of 1*57, in such case, gave him
ten percent, damages against the bank, to secure
bina against this loss. Tiie bill now before uie, if
it becomes a law, relieves tbe bank from this and
all other penalties incurred by its violation of
promise, Bad leaves the bill holder io suffer the
loss. Is this justice? Is it the relief which tbe
people demand from their representatives? It is
not very difficult to understand why bank officers
hang round the Legislature, for the purpose of
producing a panic, and affording this kiud ot re
lief to the people.
It may be claimed that the present political as
pect of affairs requires ihe legislation proposed by
this bill. In case the convention of the people of
this Slate, when it meets iu January next, shall
pass an ordinance declaring the State out of the
Union, on account of the refusal of the northern
States to abide by the Constitution, it tnay become
proper to make an exception to a general rule,
and permit a suspension, for a short time, as a
change in the relations of Georgia to tbe United
States Government, might, for a time, produce
some derangement in the currency, which could
not be anticipated by the banks ; and they might,
in such case, be entitled to a lenity to which they
would not be entitled under ordinary circum
stances. Ido not admit, however, that it is either
wise or just to pass an act in advance which au
thorise* the suspension till December. 1501, with
out regard to wliat mv be I lie action of tiie con
vention. If the State secedes from the Union, the
Legislature will, probably, have to be again con
vened, to provide for our future safety and wel
fare ; and it might then bo time enough to deter
mine this question.
The act of 1840 makes it the duty of the Gover
nor, m case any bank suspends specie payment, to
cause judicial proceedings to be instituted forth
with, for the forfeiture of its charter. It might
not have been unwise to have passed an act to
change this statute, so that it would not be the
imperative duty of the Governor to proceed forth
with, against the charters of such banks as might,
for a time, suspend, if such change in circumstances
shall occur as warrants the suspension; leav
ing it in tiie discretion of tbe Governor, or of some
other power in the Government, to order proceed
ings against such suspended banks, or not, as the
exigencies of the case might require. This, in my
opinion, is the greatest extent to which the Legis
lature should go.
Should the State fail to secede from the Union
immediately, or in case of secession should confi
dence be restored in a verv short time, (which i
think would be the case,) 1 can see no just reason
whv the people should remain at 1 lie mercy of the
I banks, or the country be cursed with an irredeem
lable paper currency, until the first day of Decem
ber, 18*51, without any power in the Executive, or
auv other branch of the Government, to relieve
I the people by compelling the banks to redeem
; tiieir promises, and pay their debts, or bare their
! charters forfeited. It’this bill becomes a law.
property of every character will, in my opinion,
! so soon as the banks suspend, be greatly deprecia
; led in value. Our merchants will have to pay.
much higher than they now do, for exchange ; and
a greater pressure will ensue, which will greatly
injure the whole people of the South.
But we may be told that the people are fully
compensated ior the injustice done them in other
parts of the bill, by the provisions contained in the
j fourth section, which also relieves the people from
I all obligations to pay their debts, till tiie first of
December, 1861. That section is in these words;
“That in the event of suspension of specie pay
ment, by any of the banks of Savannah, Augusta,
and Atlanta, in this State, which shall be made
known by proclamation of the Governor, it shall
not be lawful for any plaintiff in Ji fa., his agent
or attorney, to have the same levied upon the pro
perty of any inhabitant, or corporation of this
’ State, until the first of December, 1861 ; neither
! shall any of the property of any such inhabitant
or corporation, be sold under and by virtue of any
j such, n fa., order, or decree ; nor shall any person
: be arrested or imprisoned under and by virtue of
; any proceeding under writs of ca si., until the first
j of December, 1861; except in cases where the
■ plaintiff', his agent, or attorney, shall make affida
! vit that the defendant is removing, or about
|to remove without the limits of this State,
j or any county thereof;@or is removing, or
l about to remove his property beyond the limits of
’ the defendant may stay such levy, or sale, arrest
or imprisonment, until tbe Ist of December, IS6I,
hr giving good aud sufficient security, in the
Clerk’s office, or Justice’s office, from whence said
ji. fa. or ca. sa., issued as in other cases of stay of
execution, for the payment of the debt and costs,
at the expiration of said stay, or for his appear
ance to render satisfaction under such arrest, at
the first term of the court happening after said Ist
Dec., 1861, as in cases of arrest under ca. sa., by the
j existing laws ; and in ail cases where property is
j now levied on and in Ihe hands of the levv
| tng officer, the defendant may replevy the same by
giving bond and security, either for the forth
coming of the property, or the payment of the
| debts and costs, on the Ist day of December, 1861,
! or the first regular sale day thereafter ; provided,
! that this section shall not be so construed as to ap
ply to any tax ft. fa. issued or to be issued ; and
provided further, that the statutes of limitation
, shall cease to run against any debt during the
\ suspension of said batiks.”
By a careful reading of this section, it will be
j seen that, in the event any of the banks of Ba
vannah, Augusta or Atlanta—no matter which
1 one, near whether it is solvent or insolveut—sus
| pends, all collections of debts by the laws of this
i State, are to cease till the first of December, 1861.
| If the present distiust should pass away itmnedt-
I ately, and full prosperity should be restored and
an;/ one of tbe banks ,of either of said cities
i should break, or for any other reason, suspend
! specie’payment for a single day, this act on that
account, suspends the collection of debts all over
! Georgia, till first December, 1361. The bill even
proposes to signalise the event of the suspension
of any of the banks of either of said cities, by
making it the duty of tbe Governor of this State
to make known the fact by proclamation. My
observation has been, that the bill holders who
suffer by tbe bad faith of a bank which breaks or
suspends, usually learn the fact very soon, with
out the necessity of dignifying the event by a
proclamation from the Executive ot tht State.
It will be further observed that this section
stays all executions between plaintiff’s and defend
ants, tu the manner above mentioned, without re
quiring any security on stay of execution, lor the
ttual payment of the debt, except in cases where
the plaintiff, his agent, or attorney, will swear that
the defendant is removing, or about to remove
himself or his property, without the limits of this
State, or any cotmty thereof. Under this statute,
if it becomes a law, a defendant in Jr. fa., may sell
and transfer all his property to a third person; and
such third person may remove it all without the
limits of this State before tiie first day of Decem
ber, 1861, and the plaintiff must lose his debt.
He may see Such third person, who purchased of
the defendant, carrying the property out of the
State, and his judgment may be for tbe purchase
money of the very property which is being carried
out of the State, but his hands are tied by law, and
he has no remedy, because the defendant is not
himself removing nor carrying his property out of
the State. lie cannot, therefore, be compelled to
give security for the forthcoming of the property,
or payment of the debt, at the end of the stay; nor
can the plaintiff stop the removal of the property,
to the hands of the third person who purchased
from tbe defendant. This is not only gross in
justice to plaintiffs in Ji. fa., but it holds out strong
inducements to defendants to perpetrate enor
mous frauds under cover of legal authority.
Sli.mld this bill become a law, it will also do
great injustice to creditors, who are citizens of
Georgia; by giving to northern creditors, and all
others living out of this State, a preference over
our own citizens, in the collection of their claims.
I Citizens of other States, holding claims against
. merchants or other persons, in this State, when
the claim exceeds live huudeed dollars, or when
i it is fora less sum, by alleging that it exceeds
i five hundred dollars, aud paying cost if it turns
i out, on the trial, that ihe recovery is for a less
sum, may sue and obtain judgment at the first
term ot the United Slates District court, m all
cases where no defence exists against the claim;
and may proceed forthwith to collect the money,
j bv due process of that court; while a citizen of
this State, who is a creditor of the same debtors
who has sued and obtained judgment in the court
of this State.and who has the oldest judgment, is
, not permitted to levy his rs fa, bnt must stand by
audsee the northern merchants sell, possibly, the
i whole property of the defendant, and receive the
: full amount of bis claim, and carry the money out
of the State, while our own citizens is left without
remedy.
JJAgain, our merchants are generally indebted to
! northern merchants; and cannot pay, unless they
: are permitted to collect from those who are in
: debted to them. Under the proposed law, the
■ northern merchant can still sue our merchants in
: United States’ courts, and obtain judgment and
execution, and sell tbeir property; while our tner
’ chaDts, who are citizens of this Slate, cannot sue
1 their debt, rs who are also citizens of this State,
1 in the United States’ courts ; but must sue in the
courts of Georgia. VVheu they have obtained their
executions in our State courts, this bill, if it be-
I eoraes a law, prohibits them from levying on the
1 property of defendants, till first December, lr6l.
The northern merchants mav, therefore, rum our
merchants, by selling tbeir property tn the midst i
ot a bank suspension, when everything is down at :
the lowest figure; while our merchants are uot 1
permitted, by our own laws, to collect a dollar, ■
with which to meet their indebtedness aud save !
their property from sale, is this justice to our ,
ovn citizens? Is this what is meant by resistance
to northern aggression ?
Paastb is law, and it cannot be doubted, that the
ensuing year will be distinguished att one of an
unusual: imount of litigation. Creditors desirous
of maki ag collections, know that they cannot
levy and collect by law till first December, 1561,
will dean - e to put their claims in a condition to
enforce • collections by law, as soon as possible,
after tba t time. They will, therefore, in nearly
all cases, put their claims in suit, so as to obtain
judgmen ts as soon as tbe law will permit.
I am o f opinion that a relief bill could scarcely
have bet n framed in a more objectionable shape,
or have contained provisions which, in their prac
tical op orations, would produce more hardship
and gro s injustice, than the bill herewith return
ed. Alt .ch as I regret, at all times, to differ from
tbe Gen eral Assembly, and more especially on a
questic a of so much importance, a sense of duty
compel s me to withhold my sanction from this
measure, in its present shape ; and, in tbe name
of thos.e who must suffer by it, to protest against
its passage. Joseph E. Baowii.

AN APPEAL TO THE SOUTH-
The southern States should leave the Union now,
because the time is propitious to the movement,
and tbe separation at no far distant day is inevi
table. *
I do not believe that there exists on the face of
the earth two nations who more cordially detest
each other than the tlaveholding aud non-slave
holdtng States of this Republic. It was bad enough
before Lincoln’s election ; it is fen times worse, if
possible, now. It takes a long, long time to cool
international hatred, even when the causes have
ceased, and mutual interests have shed their cool
ing influences upon it. With the people of the
North, it has maddened legislation, poisoned the
fountains of justice, eclipsed reason, blinded judg
ment, benumbed sensibility, subdued delicacy,
banished courtesy, deadened humanity, leveled
distinctions, neutralised oaths, justified extortion,
whitewashed bribery, honored theft, sanctioned
butchery, profaned pulpits, desecrated churches,
and iu divers respects set in defiance all the laws
of God and man. Is not this true? Look at their
misnamed “personal libertv acts.” They alone veri
fy much that I have said. Their title is a falsehood.
They imply a breach of oath and Constitution in all
who”enacted them. They harbor runaways. They
shuck justice and the moral sense. They (some of
them) make it criminal in witnesses to speak the
truth. They make it shockingly criminal for a
white man to claim his rights, and for no other
offense they cast him into prison from two months
to fifteen years. That is personal liberty, is it?
And moreover, they impose a line on him of from
one to hve thousand dollars. Name the offense,
not capital, so sorely visited, as that of a man’s
saying “thisis my negro, and I claim him.” May
God deliver me Irom all connection with a batch
of judicial monsters who can thus legislate. Look
at their tariff Look how their courts decide all
questions wherein the mastei’s and the slave’s in
terest are brought in issue. See their versions of
the Constitution, of theiroatbs, of the Bible. Look
to Mattison and his confreres in Congress. Hear
their glorying in man-stealing. See their mobs,
their raids, tiieir murders, their house burning.
Mark Montgomery, fresh from Boston, the second
Brown. See tiieir many gatherings in that. city.
High, low, white, black, male, female—all on a
level, all tongue-clattering, all furious. See tbe
conventicle of preachers, professors, students,
women aud children, in tiie North Church, of New
Haven, subscribing lor Sharpe’s rifles. See gen
teel ladies in common plot with dirty uegroes; nay
united with them in connubial bands. Listen to
tiieir insults, their sarcasms, tiieir dares.
What mean these bedlam scenes? Why, per■>
sons a thousand miles from these people own
slaves, ami they wisli them set free. It will cost
the owners two bilion four hundred million dol
lars to set them free. No matter, they must be
set free, or men will turn demons and women fu
ries. But orphan children own a half million ot
them, and these cannot be set free. No matter,
they must be set free in some way. But the poor
own a few. No matter, they must be set free.
Bui many poor own noue. No matter, they live
among those who do own them, and they must be
burnt out and poisoned with the rest. Does his
tory or romance furnish any parallel to this? Such
are the people on the one side; ou the other, there
is no retaliatory legislation, no bending of justice.
A little while ago, a clever estate in South Caro
lina was decreed to free negroes in Ohio. Negroes
claimed as slaves are often set free by our courts.
The northern mau and the southern oiati has equal
justice. A mau comas reeking from the land of
mobs and violence, to the land of the mobbed,
sues in our courts for bis Just debts and recovers
none inquiring whence he came or what his
creed. No mobs here, no bribery, no contempt of
law, no twisting of oaths. They are taxed to en
rich their enemies; they complain, aud they are
called blusterers. They are robbed of two million
four huudred thousand dollars worth of property,
of their Constitutional rights, of their Territorial
privileges. They threaten to dissolve the Union,
and this is called bullying. They yield much and
endure long for the sake of the Union, and this is
called cowardice. But enough of this.
llow long can such people live together under
one Government? How much more intolerant
must the oue become, before the patience of the
other will wear out? You have just reached tha
point when you are as much despised for your
spirit as you are for yonr property. They see that
neither taxation, robbery, nor invasion, can rouse
you to resistance, and they have begun to shake
‘the lash over you, dare you to fulfil your threats,
and tell vou that vou shall “eat dirt.” Your nt
tachn>*“* ssuma t know is *erv strong; but
the world does not know it ; and it will write you
down as the most arrant cowards that ever dis
graced the earth if you do notgo out of the Union,
or declare war against your oppressors. You must
rise and vindicate your honor and your rights be
fore long ; and why wait until you cau endure no
longer? Asa South Carolinian, I should vote
against having any fellowship with you, if, after
having stood by and seen her fight your battles,
you come, with the dirt of Yankee heels upon your
necks, to link your desliny with hers. I should be
jealous of that more than connubial love of yours,
and fearful that if your task masters should throw
vou a pet word, aud a crum of comfort, your first
love would revive in all its long cherished ardor,
and you would desert the Palmetto Confederacy
for the glorious Union. Come now, and she will
receive you with open arms, and thank you for
your countenance. A. B. Loxßstreet.

No medicine existed which would speedily, permanently,

known any deviation whatever from the natural Ute of the
brain ; and viewed in this light, it maybe looked on ns a
safeguard Intended to give notice of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be remedied ; and
its indication# should nevor be neglected. Headache maj be
classified under two names, viz : Symptomatic and Idiopathic.
Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common, and is the
precursor of a great variety of diseases, amODg which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism, and all febrile diseases. In it*
nervous form it is sympathetic of disease us the stomach, con
stituting sick headache, of hepatic disease constituting bilious
headache , of worms, constipation, and other disorders of the
bowels, as well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of
the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches ; An
emia and Plethora are also affections which frequently illu
sion Headache. Idiopathic Headache is alo very common,
being usually distinguished by the name oJ nervous headache
—sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently
sound health, aud prost rating at once the mental and physical
energies ; and in other instances it cornea on slowly, heralded
by depression of spirits, or ascerbity of Lemper. In most in
stances, the pain is in the front of the head, over one or both
eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting. Under this clam
may also be named Neuralgia.
For t ic treatment of either class of Headache, the Cephalic
Fills have been found a sure and safe remedy, relieving the
most acute pains in a few minutej, and by its subtle power
era iica ting the diseases of which HeAd&che is the unesring In
dex.
Briixjw.— Missus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic
Glue ; no, a bottle of Prepared Fills. But I’m thinking that’s
not just it naither ; but perhaps ye’ll be afthor knowing what
i! is. Ye see she’s nigh dead and gone with the Sick Head
ache, and wants some more of that same as relaived her be
frc.
Druggist— You must mean Spalding# Cephalic Fills.
Jiridyet— Cell, sure now and you’re sed it. life’s the
quart her and give me the Fills, and don’t he all day about it
aithor.
Constipation or (ostiveuess.
No one of the “many ill# flesh Is heir to” is so prevalent, so
little understood, and so much neglected, as Costiveoess. Of
ten originating In carelessness, or sedentary habits, it is re.
gardid as a slig it disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while, in reality, it lathe precursor and companion
of many of the most fatal and dangerous diseases, aud unless
early eradicated, it will bring the sufferer to an untimely
graw, Among the lighter evils of which Costivenes# is the
uHial attendant are, Headache, Colic, Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Files, and others of like nature, while a long train of
frightful diseases, such us Malignant Fevers, Aboesees. Dy
sentery, Diarrhoea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paraly
sis, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melaucholly, and In sanity,‘first
indicate their presence In the system by this alarming symp
tom. Not unfrequently the diseases named originate In Con
stipation, but take on an Independent existence, unless the
cause is eradicated in an early stage. gfFrom all these consid
erations, it follows that the disorder should receive immediate
attention wheueverit occurs, and no person should ucglect to
get a box of Cephalic Fills on the first appearance of the com
plaint, as their timely use will expel the insi loua approaches
of disease, and destroy this dangerous foe to human lift*.
A REAL BLESSING.
Physician— Well, Mr-. Jones, Low ib tliat headncho ‘!
Mrs. Jones —Gone, Doctor: all rronti! The I*lll you Bent
cured iue in Just t weuty minutes, and I wish you would send
more, so that I can have them handy.
Physician—Yon can get them at any Druggists'. Cali for
Cephalic Bills, 1 find they never fall, and 1 recommend them
in all cast's of Headache.
Mrs. Jones. —l shall semi for a hox directly, and shall tell
all my suffering frier,da. for they area real hiesaing.
TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SAVED.
Mr. Spalding has sold two millions of bottles of iris cele
lirated l’rr pared Glue, and It Is estimated that saolr bottle
saves at least ten dollars worth of broken furniture, thus
making an aggregate of twenty million* of dollars reclaimed
from total loss by this valuable invention. Having made his
Glue a household word, tic now proposes to do the world still
greater service hycuringall the aching heads with bis Cepha
lic Pills, and if they are as goodashis Glue. Headaches will
soon vanish away like suow in July.
fIY-Ovna ixoitkmskt, and the mental care and anxiety in
cident to close attention to business or study, are among the
numerous causes of Nervous Headache. The disordered state
of mind and body iucidenl to this distressing complaint Isa
fatal blow to all energy and ambition. Sufferers by this dis
order can always obtain speedy relief from these distressing
attacks, by using one of the Cephalic Bills whenever the
symptoms appear. It quiets the overtasked brain, and soothes
the strained and .jarring nerves, and relaxes tire tension of the
stomach, which always accompanies and aggravate* the dis
ordered condition of the brain.
Cart Worth Knowing.

ache, Bilious Headache. Nervous Headache, CosHvenrss, and
General Debility.

ies of this age, may be considered the system of vaccination

Fevers, either of which Is a sure specific, whose benefits will
be experienced by-uireringhumanity long after their discov
erers are forgotten.
