. Mr. Editor-:—The present apathyoi the South,
m relation to tho moment.,,,, interests at issue he’
tuei n herself and bar Abuljticsi enemies, is ccr-
taiu y one of those political phenomena, which is
well cmculated to create astonishment and alarm
m tho feelings of those who may presume to ap
preciate tho importance of such an issne.
hor notwithstanding the portentous gatherings
and fearful threatening, of coming events, which
cast their imposing and almost tangible shadows
before them, yet do wo witness tho most stern and
callous indifference on the part of Uie South, a-
thurul ' V ^ ,Jnl a * oue “ to be directed its destructive
The catastrophe has been ns plainly written out
lie loro her eyes, as was the prophetic warning up-
on the wills of the Chaldean mouarch, and tlie
interpretation thereof has been a* faithfully and
fearlessly announced, a. was that of old to thode-
Iuded and impious Belshazzar.
. But *bU wanting, Mr. Editor, has not come to ns
in nn unknown tongue; it has not np|ieared as if by
magic, or superhuman agency, inscribed upon tho
walls around, or tlie'Heavens above us. No, sir,
it has come in such plain, bold and unblushing
language and deeds, that none require to-be told
either of its existence or its import.
, *bi*» the past has its own history, in the mul
titude mid magnitude of- oppressive acts and out
rages which staiu, and are stamped upon, the re
cords of our National Council.
These acts of oppression are matters of .History—
unuu|iearhuhle—unsophisticated—iron-faced His
tory ; anil to this long and repulsive catalogue of
wrongs nud injuries and insults, we are to have
yet another milled, the most direful and repulsive
of all, in the well known requisitions of the Wil-
inot Proviso.
These ccl*. of which the South has so bitterly
and unsjinringly complained, aud denounced, have
hitherto been met with far less firmness aud re
solve than such measures reallv deserved and de
manded; and owitig'in no small degree to this in
adequate action on her part in relalinu to tlie past,
dims she now find herself encroached upon, not
onlv by every act of aggression, but even assaulted
wilh fearless intrepidity and the most high-handed
effrontery, in tlie most important interest connec
ted with her prosperity nud her very existence.
_ These unparalleled invasions of her chartered
rights, these increasing exactions upon her impor
tant and vital interests, have been endured and
yielded by the South through lung and painful
years of patriotic struggle. At th. holy Sliriue of
“the Union,” she has bowed and sacrificed, and re
sisted only by argument and remocatraucc.
These appeals have been auswered only by un
mitigated injuries and implacably insult.
_ Her confederates perversely, unsparingly, con
tinue to accumulate upon her devoted head griev
ance upon grievance—addingiudignity to oppres
sion, and until now, by one crowning act of dar
ing and outrage, they aro resolved to consummate
nnr ignoble fate by a' base, palpable, degrading and
despotic act of jtriton-boundt, from which the South
is never to be liberated.
This, Mr. Editor, is tho threatened and undis
guised fate of tho South, uuiier the operations ol
this 1’roviso, mul uuder the guidance and influence
of tlioso who have set this mighty and mischiev
ous engine in motion. Of this uatural liut melan
choly result noiio dare doubt or deny.
Yet wilh this certain fate before her, what are
the preparation. T What are tho purpotet of the
South to meet this crisis !
Whilst her euemies are moving and organizing
in every niauuer, ami by evriy measure that may
secure success; whilst her Legislative assemblies
authorize and enforce tbe principles of the aboli
tion ot" Slavery, liy arresting its further extension,
as coutamed iu the Wilmot Proviso; whilst her
clergy are loudly and zealously teaching this doc
trine from their pulpits, uml iuculcnting’it iu llieir
religious exercises into the risiug generation :

thing be adopted which embraces anil points to
united action in this important position of our
Southern interests.
No man (I speak of Southern men) can refuse to

ry man should he prepared to enforce some course
of resistance. Then why are tlie citizen, of tho
South, her leading men, ns well as her more pri

She has already suffered enough, both in reputa

Let the Wilmot Proviso be now saddled upon

should have arrested in the bud, or she will sink
without eveu a struggle, impoverished, debased,

It may he said, surely nothing like this does the
South Jepend ujmn, or look to, as the course of
action. Then what does she iuteud to do! Sure
ly the time is at baud when she will, or should, be
gin to give some manifestations of interest in tins
matter—some demonstrations of artion adequate
to the occasiou. Slie does not surely design to a-
wait the convening of her several Legislatures,
and through them to act, or instruct her delegates
to act. The Wilmot Proviso will no doubt be a-
mong. if not the very find, measure for action
brought before the ensiling Congress. Tho Legia-
latti’ t’s of tlie Southern Staten, nin»t, if not nil of
them, assemble after tbe meeting of Congress; and
consequently after perhaps the important moment
for action, through our delegates iu Congress, will
have passed, by the passage of the Wilmot Provi
so. But -perhaps the South relies upon the pa-
triotifttn ami firmncM of tbe Senate of tlie United
State* u, reject the Proviso. Thin may be; but we
are told by those who no doubt fully appreciate
that bodv, both for ita merits ami its dementa, that
this probability is extremely doubtful. Our own
distinguished and immortal Senator eucourages no
auch expectation as this from that body; and,
therefore, to hang a hope ujion this alternative,
which, however the most rational as well as com
mendable, would not only be visiouary, but cul-
^Uuder the doubtful aspect, therefore, wbicli
even this most competent power to avert tins evil
preseute, is it not a paramount duty on the part of
the South to make some preparations to ftieet in an
adequate manner this approaching crisis f
Should she be satisfied to rest this vastly por
tentous issue upon any contingency whatever, that
will not have a tendency to plssee her in future be
yond the reach of eueh influences t
Should she not be disposed to place her laithful
and distinguished public servants—-her Represen
tatives and Senators iu Congress—in snob a posi
tion as will place Shem beyond tlie reach of mah-
cioiis censure or embarrassing hesitation f It w
certainly a duty which the South owes them for
their pust services—a duty which their vonr posi
tion would seem to demand and require of their
constituents. . ...
And this voice of instruction—if instruction tt
may be called —should come from the whole South,
through the action of a Southern ConoenUon.
How this Southern Convention shall be constitu
tionally, or rather legitimatoly. assemblcd, may be
a question of some ambiguity. But in a mnner of
public interest like this, which at present threat
ens the South, tlie accomplishment of the end de
sired is the grand desideratum. The South should
not hesitate, for want of specific authority to pro
cure so important a point as that ofuu immity and
concert of actiou through tho medium of a boutb-
ern Convention, to assemble such a power by uie
most obvious and energetic means which present
themselves. , .. •

ordered iu the caseofCul. Fremont, assembled to

was more convenleiit to attend tbe court here than

Dr. E. E asterly A Co.—Gents.—1 have been af
flicted for about three yean with a pulmonary com
plaint, which has baffled the .kill of several of the most
eminent physicians of our country. At times my
cough was very severe, pain in my side and breast, and
great difficalty in breathing. In this way I continued
to suffer, until life became almost a burden. At length
I saw your advertisement of Dr.' S wayne’s Compound
Syrup of Wild Cheriy, and was persuaded by a friend
of mine to make a trial of it, and 1 purchased a bottle
ofyou. I am happy to inform you that'ane bottle has
effected a perfect cure, and that I am now in the en
joyment of good health. I make tills statement in the
form of a certificate, that others who may lie afflicted
with such diseases may know where to find a valna
ble medicine. You can use this testimony in commen
dation of Dr. Swayne’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cher
iy as you think best. Yours, with respect,
_ -WM. CARSON.
Ore Word of Caotiov.—Since tlie introduction of
ray article to the public, there have a number of un
principled individuals got up nostrums, which they as-
sert contain Wild Cherry; some are called “Balsams,”
“Bitter*,” and even “Synipof Wild Cherry," but mine
is the original and only genuine preparation ever in-
troduced to the public, which can be proved by the
K blic records of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
io only safeguard against imposition is to see that
my signature is ou each bottle.

“DEAD SHOT” FOR WORMS.
Tlie origin, development and support of worms in
the human system, are to bo attributed to a depraved
and debilitated condition of the stomach and bowels;
it being an established fact, that where the digestion
is unimpaired, and the geueral powers of the system
are in a healthy state, they can find no habitation.
This preparation has tlie' peculiar advantage of not
only destroying every worm but also of producing a
healthy action of the stoinacb and otlier organs of di
gestion, thereby relieving many complaints arising
from a derangement of tlie digestive organs. Although
prompt and certain iu ita operations, aud not uupleas-
ant to tbe taste, it is perfectly safe and adapted to tho
teuderest age.

stxou think best A year ago last fall I was taken
sick with a severe cough—was very much pressed for
breath—lost my appetite, and became very much re
duced iu geueral health—sweat profusely, aud could
not sleep nights I applied to a physician, who did all
iu his power to relieve aud restore me, but did not sac-
ceed. 1 was oaufiued to the bouse most of the winter
—often had loiig spells of severe coughing, raised some
blood. Some time in the spring I commenced taking

From the “Spirit of the Times," Dec. IS, 1845.
We ask attention to the advertisements of Dr. Da-
vis's comjiound syrup of wild cherry and tar. Dr. D.
is a respectable physician ofthis city, of many years'
practice, aud his medicine is supported by moat ample
and satisfactory testimonials. Among the certifiers

respectable citizens.
Philadelphia, September 50,1845.
Messrs. Robinson, Collin* A co.—Being afflicted last
spring with a very severe cough, with paiu in my Side
aud breast, soreness and weakuess of tlie lungs, short-
ness of breath, loss of appetite, Ac., I tried various
remedies, but to no good effect, my cough still contin
uing and growing worse. Such was the distressing
nature of tbe cough, that I could not lie iu bed night
nor dn.v, hut was obliged to sit up in my chair, and
could sleep very little at best; consequently I was
wearing out very fast, till you very kindly recommend-
cd Dr. Davis's compound syrup of wild cherry and tar,
tlie first bottle of which gave me relieC checked my
conch, loosened the phlegm, caused me to expectorate
freely, restored my appetite, relieved the paiu iu my
aide, healed the soreness of my breast, and strength
ened my lungs, causing me to breathe freely. I have
now taken ten bottles; it has entirely cured my cough.
I have gaiucil considerable in flesh. I think it a most
valuable medicine, aud one that ought to be univer
sally known, that those afflicted with coughs and colds
may lmve a medicine both safe and sure to cure, if ta-
ken properly. While takiug the medicine, I drank
freely ofmolasses and water, which I found excellent
to keep the Itowcls open. If this statement can be of
auy benefit to the afflicted, you ore at liberty to make
such use of it as you may think proper.

nr SANATIVE MIXTURE,
| TS one ot tue irreptest blessin—r that medical science I
ever Invented for the cure oT tlio afflicted. _ Tt will
immediately stop bleeding iu almost every instaucc
of a fresh cut, or wound. It will care the most invet
erate Totters, Ulcers nnd old sores of almost every de-
•scription ,'includin',* those arising from vcueral indul
gence! as well as the innstobstinnternsetofthe white
swelling, after the affected parts begin to run. It also
proves infallible in the cure of warts and corns. This
far it 1ms beeu tuiifonulv successful in tiie cure nf hn-
mnu diseases for more tliau twenty yteara, moreover it
is not surpassed ns a remedy in Farriery, being al
ways successful iu eating out a set-fast from the hack
of horses, and willcnre the worst eases nf scratches in
one or two days. Li fine (ns it is no humbug but the
compound of a regular scientific Physician) it is only
necessary to say further, that it has uo effect upon
sound flesh; but attacks with fnrni hostility all diseas
ed and unsound parts with but little pain;’ and when
disagreeably painful, its operation can be’immediately
stopped by the simple application of milk, oil, or of
