hglbcmtonrmht are inconsistent with their
immco and happiuese; and such as will certainly in
llictcruclty iijnu deluded human beings, by so
,hieing them into n condition which compels their
misters to use them with greater severity. This
is like kindling a fire in tho middle of a dry prairie,
and expecting it not to buru with certain destruc
tion. I ask the gentleman if he is wiHing to afford
■protection to the holders of slave property, and I
am answered that slavchotdcra 4re entitled to no
protection. Am I expected to stand here, and un
der tho forms of constitutional legislation, giro my
support to measures which must destroy one df
the institutions under which we live! I solemnly
believe that the gentlemen from the North are not
sensible of the tendencies of such measures as they
are proposing. When the Constitution wss formed
{(•{provisions were adopted in good faith, and I had
hoped that some portion of tho same spirit which
actuated tho framers of that instrument would be
found pervading this body at this time. That good
faith, if it were to be fouud, would preserve to ns
'the guarantees which are provided in tho Consti
tution; and 1 tell geutleinou that our fathers nuver
would have consented to conte into the confeder
acy .if they believed that these encroachments
would ever have been made—and that, too, under
the authority of their joint Conslitutioc. The
spint of fanaticism never commenced to prevail
until it was ascertained that the tide was runuiug
against ur, hut irora that moment—about 1820, the
lioio of tho Missouri comprise—it has gone on with
accellcrated rapidity, and it uuw forms oue of the
dangerous elements of sectional ambition. My
colleague has alluded to sutuo of tlie evidences of
this.
When the Constitution was adopted, it was one
of its provisions—not implied, but expressed in
terms sufficiently explicit—that if alaves escaped,
there should be a creoponttinn on the part of the
authorities of the State to which they Bed to deliv
er them up; and as the understanding of the terms,
sneb, uutil recently, wns the practice, -in 1793
an act was passed making it peual for any one in
any of the nou-slav«holdiug States to harbor or con
coal a slave; and there is another important com
mentary contained in that law. that by that very
act provision is made that State courts shall use
their authority to aid iu delivering up fugitive
alaves. That act waa made to provide the mode
’of delivering up runaway slaves. It was made on
the assumption that they should be delivered up
under tho provisions of an extradition treaty. The
measure received the general concurrence of Con-
-gressand thepeople. Thisact looked to good faith
lor its execution and enforcement. Ithudlhe sanc
tion of the wiseat men of all sections, not as specu
lative theorists, but as praclicnr statesmen, who
looked to actual and (I must be permitted to say)
mutual interests. When the law wus proposed,
what would aouthern men have thought if they had
been told that the courta should afford no such re
lief, and that it“wonhl be criminal fur State offi
cers to give assistance f Why, sir, they would have
gone no further with compromise, but, being the
atrouger party, they would have looked out for
their own aocuriiy. Tho act waa made in good
faith, to coerce the provisions of a compromise, to
procure the delivery of a slave to his master. How
has that act been treated 7 A law has been enact
ed in tho State of New York, one in Massachusetts,
and I believe I could name a dozen other States
where similar laws have been passed, declaring
that the State courts liave no jurisdiction over that
matter, and that it belongs exclusively to the fede
ral jurisdiction. Here, then, is one of the compro
mises of the Constitution entirely disregarded, and
laws have been poised interposing obstacles to the
recapture of slaves, such as would make it nugato
ry and dangerous for the owner to make the at
tempt to reclaim his own property.
In Massnchosetla it is nfnde criminal undrr high
penalties for constables to aid in apprehending a
fugitive slave; and for jailors to allow their prisons
to bo used for snfe-keepiug. A law of precisely
the same import baa been passed iu Uliode Island ;
anil of similar import in nearly nit the States uorth
of Maryland. To the North we esu look for no aid
in apprehending this species of property. So far
from fulfilling the provisions and compromises of
the Constitution, it is made crimiual fur citixens
and officers of uon-slavebolding States to fulfil the
duties of good citizens ; and yet we are told that
the compromises of the Constitution, and its'ex
press guaranties entered into by our ancestors, will
■ (>o observed in good faith. Ami that is to be out
security—the security of good faith; and by those
who have shown that they cauuot resist tho temp
tations of ungenerous jealousy’, or criniiiud ambi
tion. This is worse than resting on a broken reed
■ or to find a sword where you expected a shield.—
In all cases where controversies nave arisen under
such laws the Supreme Court has decided them to
be unconstitutional. Do they stop there ? Would
to God I could say they did. Wlnl is our condi
tion when our property of this kind—property re
cognized by the Constitution—is taken away from
' us t Can wo appeal to their tribunals? Why,
we are treated by them willt scorn. Can we np-
• peal to their municipal officers t They point to
the act, and say wo are prohibited. But worso
' than all, it is math) tho interest of political nspi-
' rants to excite a fueling of aversion to slaveholders.
They have constitutional rights, but no power to
enforce them. Yet I nm told roly on compromise;
and at any rate, "thnt it is urbccoiniiig in the
South to manifest excitement—th,t wo must keep
perfectly quiet—Hot he alarmed, it js all perfectly
right.” When the lire is bumiug nrompl me, I am
told that I mast keep cool—that I must rot dis
cuss the mrtter wiili anything like heat. We .Save
a right to discuss it. It is proper for us to vindi
cate our rights; and I wish there was an adequate
issue to pul them to full trial. I say to gentlemen
that the crisis ia approaching—not by any actiou of
the South, but is forced upon us; pud iftliekor
. ror* of a civil war do coiue, which God forbid—
■'Thou can’s! not say I did it,
Shake not thy gory locks at me.”
I declare solemnly before Heaven, that I believ-
*ed that wc are in a doomed minority, and that it is
the duty of the South to take some means to avert
the evil. I hare no confidence tbut the guarantees
of the Constitution will be regarded. I have no
confidence iu those who choose to preach to mo
of good faith, while 1 have examples, of its flagi
tious violations; and tell-mo all is well, when I sec
ruin pending over me. I wish I could have con
fidence. lain told that when n measure of this
kind is proposed, it is ourdnty to give it nil the
forms oflegislstion. I should be slud. indeed, if
1 coaid discover iu it anything calculated to de
fend (he rights of tho people whom I represent.—
The issue must come. Ambition will avail itself
of it; the elements of its developments, and of mis
chief are coutaiucd in it. I believe from the course
which this discussiou has taken, that many gentle
men will vote for this bill: bat if they do, they
will do sn act, the eflfecta of which they do not ap
preciate. Gentlemen do not understand the fetsl-
mgs of the South. I have no fear ol insurrectica,
.iH>r the danger* of ;Jave property. If vve. Were in
che mid*t u{ i war to-morrow. I tell the gentle-
mr„, mat we of the South would feol as safe iu tho
midst ofa slave population, as in the midst of a free.
We will see more of this in other forms, Intake
tho prediction, thnt, should any part of Mexico
come into the acquisition of this Union, there will
be provisions introduced to prohibit slavery. The
whole territory «f the Sffiith is lobe put into the
power of those who toll me that ■‘•■in media tatissi-
mus ii’s,” as they express it. Oh, yes, they are
very good judges of luemiddlo course; but as good
judges as they are, wheu they undertake to pursue
tho middle course, they keep it so long ns it is
their iutereat, and no louger. IVhat a security for
moderation on our part, and confident reliance on
the good faith of those who have never kept ill I
have expressed myself with wane warmth, but I
hope tho Senator from New Hampshire will at
least dome the justice to say that it has not been
without provocation. 1 have avoided epithets and
violent denunciations, because 1 era prepared for
'. grave issues wheu solemu determination, and not
violence, must be resorted to. I nm willing to wish
. the-Union safe; but to be so, it must preserve right,
sad maintain constitutional obligations. I cauuot
resume my seat without expressing the high grati
fication with which I have listened to the eloquent
remarks of the honorable Seuator from Indiana,
[Mr. Hannegan.] He has taken tlie liigh-miuded
Slid independent course which his character eu-
. titled us to eX|*ect 1 am confident that he will be

From Mexico.
By arrival* at New Orleans last week, intelli
gence of a late date bus been received from Mexi
co. Gen. Scott and suite embarked at Vera Cruz,
on the 30tb ull. on the brig SL Petersburg tor N.
Yotk, Gen. Towsoo, Gen. Pillow aud all the mem-
ben of the Court of Euquiry, together with several
other officers came passeugers to New Orleans in
the steamer New Orleans, at which place she ar
rived on tbo 8th inst. It is said Mr. Sevier would
return to the Uuited States towards ibe close of
this month, aud that Mr. Clifford will remain until
the final actiou of the Mexican Congress has been
had on the treaty. The reporta in regard to the
ratiflea’ion of the treaty, continue to be contradic
tory. The following from Mustang, the intelli
gent army correspondent of the Delta, under date,
City of Mexico, 28ih ult., we give as nhe general
impression at the Capitol at the latest date*.
The all-absorbiug topic is ‘‘wbst is tbo news
from Queretaro!” ‘-will we have a peace?” Who
oau answer the question?—the present state of at-
fatrs incline us to believe there is a favorable pros
pect. The Mexicau population have settled down
cn it aa a certainty, ami those who formerly op
posed it, now acquiesce, without much grumbling.
The Government at Queretaro, appurently, "are
making great exertions to consummate their ob
ject. They assert positively that they will have a
quorum by the 1st or 6th of the next mouth, and
have detenniued, if there are ant enough mem
bers present by that time, they will throw out tlie
representation of the ceded territories, and the
Slate of Yucatan—by doing this, they will have
some 12 or 16 over a quorum, and a majority suffi
cient to carry any measure.
At the first of the meeting of the Congress, they
will confirm the election of Herrera, as 1'iesident
and the formation ofa now tniuislry will follow,
which will lac ill t ate affairs. The present Jlinssle-
of Relations is a man of considerable ability, but he
is must wolully deficient in euergy, I think it al
together likely that SenorCeevas will go into the
new Cabinet as Minister of Bcvelatiou. He is a
■nun of as much energy aud industry as I know of
iu the Republic aud may give more stimulus to the
actions of tlie Congress aud tlie Government. Gen.
Herrera will not ailect much of himself individ
ually, but he carries* great deal of strength with
him in bis supporters.
The Congress of Mexico, I do not think will take
a responsible and decided action on ibe treaty. I
think it altogether probable, tbat when they meet
they willcousider the treaty and the muditicaliouo,
and debate its provisions to some extent Uieu
they will adopt either oue of the two following
modes -
1st, Adopt the treaty as it was originally made
aud signed, aud theu authorize the Government to
accept or refuse the ameudmentsaud modifications
of the Seoase of the Uuited Statea ; or, 2d. They
will, after debate, authorize the Government to
accept or reject the origiual treaty, modifications
aud ull—in either case, throwing the burden of
responsibility upon the Executive and his cabinet
of Couuaillort. Oue of these modes, I am well iu-
forraed will likely be pursned by the Congress,
aud it seems altogether probable, as it is exactly
iu keeping witb their character—however, what
ever is left lor tlie Government to do, I have no
doudt will be complied with by them—they are
left in a position that they must act, and at the
same time they are anxious to bring about a peace
if they cau do it and survive afterwards, The
disturbance in Europe has ttseffect here in break
ing up the monarchist*.

Georgia Jliliiin Lsm.
Mr. Editor: I am so much pleased with a
change that has recently been made by tbo Legis
lature of Pennsylvania in the military organization
of Unit State that I desire to see it submitted to the
consideration of our citizeua. The act referred to:
Repeals the old militia laws, except so much of
them ss may relate to Volunteer Companies; bring*
these under such additional regulations as aro re
quired by the change: and compels every citizen,
subject to do militia duty, U pay the siinMif twen
ty-five cent* for each day they were required by
the old law to -“muster;” to be paid into a separate
fund for the exclusive use aud benefit of Volunteer
Companies.
Jt is easy to perceive the benefits to be secured,
in a military point of view, by this alteration. A
large number of Volunteer Companies, with a full
complement of men, well uniformed, fully equipp
ed, well drilled and under the best possible dis
cipline, without any expense tiJ the inc’iv ’dual
members, will succeed.the “Jonny Raw” .militia,
with their lockless guns, ramrod and walking'stick
“arms,” and also these old Volunteer Comparies,
wilh their sparsity of members, their waut of p ro
per esprits dm corps, and their burdensome individ
ual expinscs. Thus there would he within the
control of the Executive, at a moment’s wanting,,
an aggregate Volunteer force ready drilled, discip
linedand equipped, to meet auy possible emergency.
Such a force shall always be in readiness, both for
local and uatioual service- Suppose evety State in
the Uuion were to pass such an act as this ? Why,
u twelve months a force of two hundred thousand
men at'the lowest estimate, would l»e ready to
like the field. Socb a force is n great pacificator,
when, drawn into oloae columns, it takes position
iu the rear of international disputes. Aud surely
an army that prevents a war is entitled to noble
laurels, that such as victory gives it iu the midst
of the carnage and bloodshed that war produces.
1 know not what particular state of things called
for the passage yf this act iu Pennsylvania ; but 1
am perfectly satisfied that the utter inefficiency of
the militia laws of our own State demands a simi
lar alteration. Every law is presumed to he made
forsomo good purpose; and, tbeYefore, when it
fails to accomplish such purpose—when a general
disregard mnke* it a “dead letter 1 —when the pop
ular sentiment makes it a subject of contempt aud
ridicule—it ought to be repealed.
It is not too much to say that the broadest farces
that ever were puacted in civilized society have
been exhibited in “militia musters,” on “trainin
days.” As often as theso occasions occur, every
seusible citixeu feel* a degreo o! disgust in being
forced to • witness exhibitions, that better become
the sports of children than this serious occupations
of men. It is no matter, therefore, that these laws
have been mocked at and derided It is no won.
der that they have contributed so largely to the
embellishment of "Georgia Scenes"! It is no won-
der that they have made a proverb of tho militia,
which is a* odious to us as it-ia amusing to Ibrcign-
8 ippose now, this whole syatem should beabol
ished, as it really ought to be, and this organiza
tion in favor of volunteers substituted, what would
be the difference ?
If uniforms, equipments, &c., could be obtained
without individual expense, there could bea com
pany of an hundred privates formed at tho “Court
House” iu every connty iu the State : all of which,
in the aggregate, would make a numerical f«rco
of abont ten thousand men, fit for immediate ser
vice. Such an arrangement, it is believed, would
secure just such a military spirit nod such an arm
of service, as the wants of the State, for internal
police or for external operations, would at any mo
ment require. The additional tax requisite to sus
tain this military band, would not only be nomi
nal, but, mis >, w ould be most acceptable to tlie
people, who would infinitely prefer to pay One
Dollar a year, to avoid the inconvenience of per
forming their military duti
There are many other views in which this sub
ject could here be presented ; but it may suffice
now to add that, as an arm of defence; as a sys
tem of police regulation; as a scheme of domestic
protection; as a safe-guard to our Southern institu
tions ; as a matter of couveuience to many trades,
occupations and callings; this Volunteer organiza
tion recommends itself to our people. Let them,
therefore, consider it, and if they agree with the
writer, that there is a call for reform, and that this
would bo a proper substitute for tho present mili
tia system, let them instruct their Representative*
to that effect. L****\

Tlie Presidency.
At last, Mr. Clay has, as we always supposed
be would, given a positive denial to nil the Whig
assertions about the withdrawal of his name from
the Whig national convention. That question is
now settled by Mr. Clay himself, much to the joy
of his friends aud sorrow to the Tay lor men. This
stake of policy has rendered it necessary for Gen.
Taylor to come out witb hi* card to the public, dc.
fining his view* aud positions in regard to the
Presidency. Hear what the old Geueral would
ssy, in part, following the verbiage and style of
Clay, iu addition to his late very explicit communi
cation :
• To the Public.
The various aud conflicting reports which have
been in circuls'iun iu regard to tuy intentions and
positions, with respect to the next Presidency, ap
pear to me to furnish the projier occasion for the
full, frank, and explicit exposition of my feelings,
wishes, and views upon that subject which it is
now my purpose to make Before, but particular
ly since, my return to the United States, my friends
have addressed to me, verbally aud written, the
most earnest entreaties not to yield tlie field to
Mr. Clay or any oue else.
TbeV have represented to me, that the with
drawal of my name would be fatal to tlie success
of the party, and lead to its dissolution, on account
of the universal and harmonious opposition of the
Whigs of the free States, to the exclusion of slave-
7 r iuto territory acquired by treaty witb Mexico.
bey represent to me that the position I took in
my letter to the Hon. J. R. Iugersoll, last August,
to wit: “tbatI was tfWhig, not indeed, an ultra
pagtizan Whig, but a Whig in principle, was most
fortuuato for me: that my saying in tint letter
“that I was decidedly iu favor of Mr. Clay’4 elec
tion iu 1844, also gave me great influence amongst
the friends of Mr. Clay. Wheu it was suggested
that this position (that I was a Whig iu principle)
was calculated to do me harm among the Demo
crats, by the advice of my friends I qualified the
expression by saying in another letter, that I was
not ouly nut a partisan Whig, but a Jeffersonian
Whig—that I considered the views of the Whip
party more in accordance with the political views
of Mr. Jefferson, the great apostle of Democracy.
My -fiieuds further represented to me, that it
would give me great availability to take a no-party
positiou '; therefore I affirmed and re-affirmed agaiu
and again, that I was no politician ; that I had
spent most of my time in camp, for some 40 years,
and consequently hud no settled political opinions,
bavins never studied pui-'lics. On the question of
a Sauk—Protective Tariff, Sec., I distiactly stated
in a letter to Dr. Delaiiy, aud vvhich has been pub

The troops of the Confederation had captured
Schleswig after a most bloody and obstiuate en

The Danish fortifications and artillery were ta

after a most obstiuate conflict.
The loss of the Danes was immense, amounting
to no less than 12009 men, in killed aud wounde^.
The Prussiau loss was 3000.
The war in Lombardy was still progressing.—
Charles Albert maintains with much firmness the

The king, with bis army, was in position at Veits.
Lombardy wus about to seperate from the Veuo

saparilla, at length made an extract of them, which,
witb other vegetables, he has combined in one of the
best Pills ever made known to the European commu
nity, and which met the attention of the American
people. They are the most efficacious purgative and
tonic yet discovered.
THE WILD CHERRY
is an excellent tonic, possessing astringent and aro

Jaundice, Weakness of the Stomach and Chest.
THE SARSA PA RILI*A
is demulcent, dieurctic and soothing, and is given, in
Rheumatism, Scrofula, diseases of the Skin, aud to
eradicate the bad effects of Mercury. In the opera
tions of all other purgative Medicines debilitation and
purification go hand in hand; they remove the good as
well as the bail, thus weakening the system which
they were only required to cleanse, and making the
care, generally, almost as bath and frequently much
worse, than the disease. Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, on the
contrary, strengthen aud tone the system which they
purge and purify. And this is their peculiar attribute
and the principal cansc of their unrivalled popularity.

Tao manner in which onr militia “* T ®

tial and imperfect observation of them cuts o,i ull
hope of their utility. The prevailing sentimentto
wards them is ofa nature so hostile that they can

county liable to militia duly, are dehi.qaentff, and
continue to bo so witb perfect impunity. A urge
majority of officers of all grades aro elected with
out reference to qualification. Indeed, those per

avoiding the operation of the law. The rendt is,

slid to a gun! Hence the “Reports o. the no-
• i .mw) n qnthv of arm* in tho so\c*
merical •tmigtfc ■adtfuantny oi
rnl counties, are so imperfect ns to be user
tinctly stated “that if the Whig party at the next
Presidential election desired to cast their vote* for.
me, they mutt do it on their own responsibility, and
without any pledget from me."
I stated iu oue of my letters, “that I could not
consent to be the caudidate of a party.” Iu my
published letter to Peter S. Smith, iu order to suit
everybody, I said that if they (thepeople) thought
fit to bring me before them fur this (Alice, through
their legislatures, mass-meetings, aud conventions
I cannot object to their designating these bodies
Whig, Democratic, or Satire. But in being thus
nominated, I must insist on the condition—and my
poaitinu,‘on this poiut, is immutable—that I shall
not be brought forward by them as the candidate
of their party, or considered the exponent of their doc
trines. The free States will fiud a suflicieut guar
antee for my positions, on tlie subject of the W'il-
mot Proviso, in a unto addressed to the editor* of
the National Iutelligcucer, dated Feb. 12. by the
IIou. Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania, in which
note, Mr. Stewart, from the authority ofa letter 1
wrote him, holds the following language iu answer
to Ibis question, put by Mr. Giddtngs. “Is Gene
ral Taylor opposed to the extension of slavery ?—
I (Stewart) answered that be was, aud for the rea
son, because in bis (my) famous Signal letter, he
approved of the ordinance of 1787, which prohib
ited the extension of slavery.' * * * which or
dinance was drawn up by Mr. Jefferson, nnd of
which tbo Wilmot Prorito is but a transcript." To
sunt up the matter, and to be still more explicit as
to my positions, 1 refer my fellow-citizens to a
speech delivered at a large mass meeting in Ncw-
York, called for my benefit, by the Hon. William
Cost Johnson, of Md , iu which able speech they
.tuny find the following : “I am a Whig, aud be-
,lievo Gen. Taylor is a Whig tub, but not a IPAig
.„,»ou the old platform of Whigism, though I have
ft light for these principles till I had whipped off
c\ try button, and have become wise enough to drop
tlu
uKr. Johnson goes on to say, be was once in fa
vor of a Bauk “wilh its seven heads aud tcu bonis,”
that I’te was once iu favor of distributing tho pro
ceeds of the land offices; of modifying the veto
E iwo r; of t protective tariff, &c., hut now, he
M gr own wiser. With these distinct and frankly
avowet l sentiments, I believe I am more available
than Mr. Clay. Especially when it is remember
ed that, though I ant no politician, yeti have cov
ered my country with imperishable glory.
The Sh iv'e States will vote for use, because I am
a slave ho lu’er. aud the Free States will vote for
me, on tbt> t estiuiony of my Hou. friend, Audrcw
Stewart, the moderate wbigs orrather tlioao whig*
will vote for .Tie, who have no political creed hut
the loaves and 'fishes, which compose a very large
class of that pa.ny. The moderate Democnita will
vote forme, because I have declared myself a dis
ciple of Jefferson the father of the democratic
party. The Native American party can veto for
me, because I Jiavetold them that I would accept
a nomination'from them, and finally, all can vote
for me, becauso I have pledged myself to go by
the Constitution.. With these positions and under
theso circumstaiices, when considered with my
military fame, ho .v could Mr. Clay suppose, that
he was more avails bio tbau 7os»7 Bull leave the
question to be decided by the people. I feel my
disqualifications for that high office nnd “tremble,
as I stated in oue of my letters, at tho thought ol
its responsibilities." Yet, for tlie sake of the par
ty, and especially for the good of my country, I
shall let my uame go before tbo Convention aud
abide its decision.'

nrCHEAP READING.^£3 ■
Believing that the City of Macon, owing to her cen
tral position anil her unequaled mail and telegraphic
facilities must henceforth he the great focus for both
domestic sod foreign nows, aud that from this point
the people of Georgia can receive the latest and most
authentic intelligence, the undersigned proprietors of
the Journal 4' Messenger and Georgia Telegraph,
propose to issue their respective papers weekly at the
following REDUCED RATES:
Forsiuglc copies, (to individuals) per year, $2 50
For 10 do. (to clubs,) do 20 00
For any uumber of copies, greater thau ten scut to
I clubs at tue same post office aud commencing at the
same date (provided the cash be remitted iu advance)
I 82 00, each.
' In no esse will the papers Be sent until tbc money
is forwarded ; but persons can remit by mail at our
risk, provided pur funds are enclosed and tbo ccrtiii
cate of the Post Master is taken that the letter con
taining tho money has been properly mailed.
The above terms arc offered only to clubs, aud in no
case will they bo conceded to individuals, or clubs
consisting of less than ten persons.
In addition to the facilities above alluded to, for pro
curing and forwarding the latest news, the oodersign
cd have been induced to offer tbc foregoing advanta
geous terms because the country is ou the evo of a
most exciting Presidential election—an election, in
the result of which every true hearted American,
whatever may be his preferences or prcdilcctious,
must feel a deep and absorbing interest.
Tho present is a lime when every man must read
in order to keep pace witb the progress of events and
the revolutions of the new as well as the old world.
Wishing to extend the greatest facilities permanently
to tiro greatest number, instead of jssning merely a
campaign sheet, we propose to bring the price of
newspapers generally to the cash standard. -
To justify this movement we must have a very large
increase to our present list of patrons. Our friends
therefore in tiie several coantics are requested to be
active and vigilant and to see that every in an who
can read and who is able to pay for a newspaper be
induced to subscribe either for tho Journal »y Messen,
ger or Georgia Telegraph.
Either of these papers can and will give os much
reading matter as any other paper in the State. Our
telegraphic arrangements are now complete and will
enable us to publish in Macon important news from
any point between New York or Boston and New Or
leans almost ss Joon os it canlie printed iu those cities
and often six to eight days in advance cf the regular
mails. ,
To the people of Cherokee and of Western and
South Western Georgia" and of Florida, we need hard
ly say that now is the time to. strike, as the Macon
papers are fully prepared to give a greater quantity of
news, to give it quicker and cheaper than any other
papers in the South. 3. ROSE Ac CO.,

This preparation is a combination heretofore nn

its character and operations from tlie various prepura-

times offered to the public. It acts specifically upon
the whole system, thereby bringing it under its direct
and immediate influence. Although possessed of
powerful and controling cfi'ects, yet it is entirely harm
less, so that it cauuot injare the most dedicate consti
tution. When in perfect health, no effect is produced
by its use, except an increase of appetite; but when
disease is seated in tlie frame and hurrying fast its
victims along tho path of fife, then its mysterious in

Mr. Seth W. Fowle—Dear Sir—There are so ma

has mere or less certificates from real or imaginary in

propriety of giving auy testimony in favor of your me
dicine. Bat being assured that Lbave been benciittcd

testimony in regard to its medicinal qualities. I may,

favor of the medicine that I know has done me great
good. I have beeu afflicted with the Bronchitis for a

of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. I am happy to
say that I am almost free from tbe above troublesome
disease.
If this should be the means of saving even one of my

disease, (Bronchitis) I shall be folly paid for my trou
