A W. S. ELLIS, Druggists, Cot ton Avenue, Macon, Ga. sept 5 3—6m To our Constituents. Washisqtos Citt, February 26, 1849 We address you this circular from a sense of ditty to oarselves. A portion of tbe Southern Rep resentatives in Congress, have recently issued an Address to die people of ibe South on the exciting qnestion of slavery. YVe were unable to unite with them in the movement, and the absence of nnr names from the paper which they have pub lished, has given rise to strictures upon our course which we propose now to notice. Our conduct hat been misconstrued by some and misunder stood by others, and to place tho matter in its prop er light, is tbe object of tho present communica tion. A proper appreciation of onr motives and toolings, require* a partial consideration of the Address as it stood, when it first issued from die hands of its author. The modifications which were anbaequently made, improved its tone, tem per, aud spirit, though they failed to render it wholly unobjectionable. Some of the passages stricken out can meet wjtb no justification train that portion of its signers who belong to the Dem ocratic party, and without stopping to comment upon all of them, we cannot pass by in silence the tbe remarkable attack made upon Mr. Folk, and those Democrats who had supported the Oregon bill. The Address in this particular was marked with a spirit of opposition to tbe present Execu tive, tphtcb was wel 1 calculated to array tho peo ple of toe (South against an administration, which baa with signal fidelity carried into toe practical operation of tbe Government, all tho cardinal prin ciples of onr political faith. The insertion of this paragraph in ibe original address, was not more remarkable than its failure to make the slightest discrimination in its charges upon the North, in favor of those wbo have ever manifested a deter mination to stand by the constitntionsl rights of the South, even it the price of self-sacrifice. It seemed to us to foreshadow a result in the organi zation of a sectional party, which would ueither promote the interest or strengthen the securities of the 8outh. Tbe Address was still more objectionable for what it did not contain. It professed to give a faithful history of the abolition question, with the causes of its increase, nnd the purposes it has sought to accomplish, and was intended to place before the people of the South the true condition of the feelings and sentiments of the Northern peo ple in regard to it. Its object in tilts respect was to give toe Southern people such information as would enable tfiem to adopt aneh a policy as would best guard and maiiitaiu their rights. The pur pose was a good one, but it was not au original one. The samo object has been pursued with equal earnestness for many years, by those who are as deeply interested in the preservation of our peculiar institutions as Mr. Calhoun, and it re mains to be seen whelfief ibe efforts of the one or tbe oilier are best calcuMed to effect tho object which lx th profess to hive in view. The history of the abolition questiiti as presented by Mr. Cal- bqqn i* incomplete aul unsatisfactory. There are important matters wholly omitted in bis Address, which are as necessary to be known, to a correct understanding of tbe qnestion, as those which be has presented, and witbost a knowledge and np- ireeiation of which, tbe people of the Souih will jo incapable of forming a proper judgment on the subject, nr adopting tie proper line of policy . Abolition is not only a question of religious fannti- cimi, but one of politic)# power. It has entered more or less, for many years, into the party poli tics of tho country, aiit has constituted an ele ment in tho organization of parties at the North, of no inconsiderable importance. «It is in this view of tbe subject that the Address is marked with n silpnce which in our judgmeut admits of no justification. If we contemplate the continnan< e of tbe Union, as the Address professes to dp, it is a matter of serious interest to tRe Southern peo- file to know Ifio terms of relationship which have heretofore and do now exist between theau fanati cal assailants of onr peculiar institutions and tbe political parties of tho country, with the one or the other uf which onr people are associated in the Loud* of political faitli. With this iu forma- lion in our possession, we would know whom to regard as friends aud who as enemies. In the hour of danger and trial wo are enabled to form our political associatoxw in reference to tho pro tection of our dearest interest. YY’hy, then, should we fail to tell the people the truth upon t!*!“- sub ject T YY’as it because it would bear heavily up on tbo one party and slevotc in tlic-estiinatiuu of Southern men, the character of the other? It will uot do to any, ilia: it hereby introduced party politics into tbe Address. Upon a question so im portant aud momentuins ns the address regards the present state of tbe slavery ogitation, it be comes Sontliern men ip forego the tics of party ob- ligntiou, ami to respouJ fearlessly and honestly to the demands of truth iml justice. It was indeed a strange demand upon tbe liberality of Southern Democrats to ask them to withhold the truth faun at the North have borne to ibis subject. They might be multiplied to the iatisfaction of the most incredulous jnind, if additippsl forep could there by be given to tho argument. But if these facts, which are in barnrouioas unison with tho whole record of Congress on this suhject, do not carry home conviction to tho mind of a Southern man, such an one would not believe though one should rise from the’dead. - If wo may rely with any certainty npon reports of the public press, of tbo proceedings of State Legislatures, or the representation of individual acquaintances who are supposed to be familiar with the matter< we may gather confirmatory evi dence of the same fact from that quarter. We are yet to learu tbe name, or hear of tfie exist ence of the first Whig who has ever voted iu any of the Legislatures of tho free States against reso lutions io favor of the principle* of the Wilmot proviso. The same is true of their public press Indeed in the ranks of the Northern Whig party,, there has been and now is an unvarying uniformity of sentiment on this subject, which compels every caudid and thruthloving man to admit, that tho South will look in vain in the ranks of that party for a tingle friend npon whose arm she may lean in the hour of her trials and troubles. They have for years been conrting nnd caressing tbe aboli tionists, and in their public career have manifest ed a subservience to abolition dictation, nnd on affiliation with abolition sentiment, which has in no small degree contributed foincrease the excit-. pment and magnify the importance of JhUraoat wicked nnd reckless warfare upon Southern rights. These solemn'trntbs have been from time to timo presented to tbe consideration of tbe Southern peo ple ; and they have urged to cut loose from a political association, which was sawing broadcast through the land tho seeds of their rum and de struction. As individuals who had ’ participated iu presenting these facts to the people, we bad been actuated by thesincerest desire to save our country from the ruinous consequences, which we believe must inevitably follow from an union of the South with Northern Whigs- We were candid and honest in declarations which we made to the people from time to time, of the ruinous effects of such an alliance. Our opinious have undergone no change. We yet "believe, that the only true aud reliable friends of tfie South at the North are to be found in tbe Democratic party, and that the protection of onr rights, so far astbe same is dependent upon tbe lcgislottbfl'ef Con gress, is oul^ to be promoted by uniting in- still closer bonds with those who have given us these evidences of tho sincerity of their friendship, and tbe honesty of their purposes, and *t Rig same time severing all connection with those whose whole course has been characterized with unchan ging proofs of hostility and opposition. Enter taining these views, we should have been false to onr-past professions—false to our present convic tions—false to tho dictates of policy—false to the requirements of justice—false to the impulses of gratitude, if wo had given our sanction to a paper purporting t.Q give a faithful narrative of the abo lition qnestion, and which omitted wholly to con sider this, the most imposing important feature of the subject, Tbe sacrifices which the Northern Democracy have made in their efforts to sustain the constitutional rights of tho Souih against tbe combined influence of the Northern Whigs anil Abolitionists, uave not yet 'entirely passed from ( nr memories. Some of the instances nre witbiu our personal knowledge. We have seen them stricken 3own in the straggle—we have heard nrounil ns the shouts of rejoicing over their defeat from the very men io defeuco of whose rights their last blow iu tho contest was stricken—we have seen their seats in the Halls of Congress va- i aird one by onr, to be filled with the most miser able ponderers to abolition excitement, who are recognised mid hailed as good meu and truo iu the great family of nationul Whigs—we have seen the craven hearted Democrat, who as lin humbly bowed his' neck to receive the abolition yoke, spurued with indignation from tho embraces of his former political associates, only to be tbe more Fnrslinllv U'^lrnmuil itifu llio pahVs «F Vurtlmra presented them to tho consideration of the South ern people, and whilst the Democratic portion of our bearers hnve, by unmistakeabie evidences, manifested their concurrence and approbation, we have not yet met with tbe first whig who has been able, truthfnlly, to deny the facts, or successfully to coutrovert the argument. • To the files of the same Democratic press, tout is now sonnding the premonitory notes of a condemnation of our course, wp could, with safety, nppeirt for tlie ’evidence of too correctnes of our positions, if wo believed that the occasion required it. To the second inquiry whicb \Vehavo presented, we have yet to heat' any satisfactory reason that can be given, for denying, to tho facts, which wo have detailed their legitimates place in nn address which purported to give a faithful history of tfie abolition question. The fear of giving offence to Southern YVhigs. and thereby losing their aid nnd co-operation, will hardly afford a justification in the minds of those who accord their assent to tho correctnes of qtiv sentiments, and whose judg ments sanction tho soundness of our argument. Under circumstances the molt flattering of success, inch a policy would tax the strongest intellects for reason to palliato and justify it, but in the present instance, the object wai an }dle and visionary one, as tho result very clearly demonstrated. Tbe Whigs had just succeeded in elevating to the high est offices in the Government, men iq whose integ rity of purpose *nd fidelity to the-constitution, they bad expressed loaar aWbMSS^ask-anqfUssice, anil it wrn- nn unreasonable anticipation to suppose that they would participate in any movement, which rested for its propriety and necessity, main ly upon the apprehension that the rights of tbe South were unsafe in the bands of those whom they had selected as faithful guardians of tl;a constitu tional rights of every portion of the Union. This error on the part of Southern Whigs was u»t more deep and fatat than was the hope of their bidden conversion wild and visionary. As might have been reasonably expected, they refused, cn masse, with l's° exceptions, to give their sanction to the movement and gave early indications to the meet ing of their intention to withhold their signatures from the Address. With this determination,_pu their part, ended the prospect -of making this a Southern movement irrespective of party consid erations. At this period we considered that the time had arrived when the friends of the Address mast determine between two policies, the one look ing to the preservation ol the Democratic party of the Uoion, and tlie other contemplating tbe organ ization of a sectional party, which being compos ed almost exclusively of Democrats, would sup plant entirely, the present Democratic party of toe South, and utterly destroy onr national organiza tion To our raiuds, it left tlje friends of the Ad- dresss without any reasonable pretext for exclud ing from it the matter, which it seemed to ns, was indispensable to a just, full and and fair consider ation qf tjje subject. Those who agrped >yito us, urged upon tlio peculiar friends of the Address tho propriety and the necessity of giving it this direc tion, bnt wo found that tbe proposition met with so little favor, that if submitted to the meeting it would not only be attended with defeat, but would subject its friends to the imputation of waptonly urging a disturbing element upon their proceedings tbus leaving us no other alternative thau, either to v/itbhold our signatures, or to abandon the course which we felt was clearly indicated Ry a sense of truth nnd justice. There was no difficulty in moulding this Address into any shape, consist ent with truth, whicb would give to tbo movement additional strength in the South, aud every facility was afforded of relieving the scruples nnd quiet- iug the apprehensions of Southern men, whose al liance was sought to be obtained, bnt when a sug gestion is mado which looks beyond tho limits of our own immediate section, and seeks to do an net of sheer justice to Northern Democrats, who have stood firmly by onr sides in the darkest hoar of trial, and which regards with favor, the continued preservation of the Democratic parly of Union —it is regarded, as narrow and contracted, and in- been reared.

Without attempting an analysis of the Cou- gn ssiuual record upon Oie slavery question, we will submit a few general propositions which will pul Ibis matter iu iw proper light. Tho general proposition tnay be fearlessly stilted, & the records of Congress with safety appealed to for the evideuce of iu truth, that upon all questions involving the rights of the South, in connection with the institu tion of slavery upon which nu issue has been made our only friends at tho N or th have heeti found iff tbe rauks of th J Northern Democracy. Without stopping now to discuss the merits ot these issues, whicb surely cuuuol be necessary before# South ern constituency, let us recur to some of them iu illustration of the proposition jnst laid down.— Among tho most prominent of these issues, and one which perhaps excited 5s mack if not ir.„re ot the public attention thau any other, was the fa- mons 21»t rule .,i the House of Representatives, which pcrcmptorially excluded all petitions on the subject of tjie abolition of slavery either in tho States, Territories, or District of Columbia. Thifit rulo was originally introduced into Congress by a Southern Whig, (Mr. Jobtison. of Marylaud.) It was the subject of repeated d'senssious and nu merous votes, from the time of its original adop tion to tbe period of its repeal in the 28tb Con gress. Daring that wbole time it never received the vote ofa single Northern Whig. It was adop ted and kept in existence by the united vote of alt the Southern members, (with one or two excep tions.) aud a portion uf tho Northern Democracy. (jo tbe question of the annexation of Texas, which was 'opposed tU the North on account of her slavery institutions n similar sta(e of things will bo found to exist. That measure was earned by tlie aid of Notbern Democratic votes atone,meu whose minds were not like their Whig brethren, si surcharged with bitter hatred of the Suutoand her institutions,as to defeat this favorite object of Southern men, on account of tbo existence there of onr peculiar institutions. An equally forcible aud convincing illustrations will bo found in tno history of the present excit ing issue which now so seriously tlireatgjis the peace nnd harmony of onr Uuion, if not its very existence- Vurions votes have been taken both in tbe S. n ite and House of Representatives, during tbo last three sessions, on the Wilmot proviso, and it yet remains for tlio firat Northern Whig to re cord bis vote against it. It fans at different times been defeated in both branches of Congress, and in every instance by the aid of Northern penio- cratic vote*. This action of Congress on this sub- ungener- ous reproaches of tho sincerity of Northern Dein- 1 or rats wo are to render our acquiescence by our silence on such an occassion as this, >vc may rea sonably look to the period as not far distant, when the South will be called upon to mourn over tlie departure from the Halls of our Natiouid Legisla ture of ber last Northern friend. The Southern address also purports to give the tho causes of the increaso of the abolition excite ment at the North ; but wholly fails to account lor the remarkable fact, that during the present ses sion of Cungress some of tbe most alarming votes ftave been giyen which can be found on the re cords of our national legislation; whilst it directs the atteutiou of the Southern people to the fact, tbat the movements of the agitators at tho present session have been directed, with peculiar interest to the subject of slavery in the District of Culutn- fcifo it attempts no ejplitnationof the causes which have led to this r,ejp&r£ahlo and threatening de monstration.

After having "set their house iu order,” tho fob lowing conversation took place: Husband—My dear w ife, I believe I have mado every preparation for to-morrow. I have forgiven ali my tenemies, aud praypej for the forgiveness of all niy sins, and I feel perfectly calm and resigned. Wife—Well, hueba id, I believe I am ready for the sound of the trumpet. Husband—I’m rejoiced to hear it. But, my dear wife, I have no doubt there arc many little domestic tecreta which have been kept hidden from each other, which, had they bcccn kutwvn at the lime of their occurrence, plight hnve cac,^e<f unpleasant feelings; but ns wo have but qne dpy, more to live, let us unbosom ourselves freely' to each other. Wife—Well, husband, you are right; tlipro are si mo little things tlmt I never told you, and which I intended should remain between mo nnd my God ; as we have but one day left, I reckon it’s right to make a clean brenst to each other. I am ready—you begin husband. ‘ Husband—Nodenr, yop begin. Wife—No, husband, yon begin—I can't. Husband—No; you know, my love, Usui says husbands have the right to command their wives! It is your duty ns a Christian woman to obey your husband, and the father of your children. So be gin, love. Wife—fu the sight of God, I rockon it's right ; so. I will tell you, dear husband, ouf eldest son, William, it not your child'. Husband—Great God.' Alary! f never dreamed of your being untrue to me! Is that so? Wife (in tears)—Yes, God forgive me, it's true. I kuow that I tjtd very wrong, but am sorry font; t'u an evil hqur f. fcli, qnd there’s nu help for it now. Husband—William nol mine?

We preferred yet to rely upon tho combined inflnoncoof the Southern aud North ern Democrats for the protection of too rights of the 8outh, so long as the sam,o were dependent upon the legislation of qnr national Government. We could not see how our strength was to be in creased by diminishing our numbers. If Southern Democrats alone could,by party organization,throw ample barriers around tbe peculiar interests of the South, wo were nt a loss to understand, how the ] a.id and co-operation of our Northern friends would embarrass our movements or weaken our defences. So long as we contemplate the continuance of the Uuion, so long will we look to the preservation of tho integrity of the Democratic party of the Union, us an elemcut of out; greatest strength and securi ty. When the time shall come, if ever, which God In his mercy avert, when the rights and the inter ests of the South, under the Constitution, are spurn ed aud disregarded, and we shall cease to be cou- . ,u » i ’ij . l i i stdered us equals with onr Northern brethren, wo truthful, shoold not have omitted to .mportant a ^ , uok _ [0 \ [ber and hisherHiea snre.of redress ject, in couucction with the famous Comprom : se. bill introduced into tbe Senate by Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, preaenta n striking illustration of tjio correctness of on# position. That bill was tlie work of time aud deliberation. 11 sought to place toe adjustment of this disturbing question upon such grounds as would enable tbe moderate wnd jnst meu of all sections of the country to give it tbeir support, without requiring tbo sacrifice of any cardinal principle npon the part of any one.— Indeed, nomo Southern men refused it tbeir sup port because of its inefficiency in properly gnard- ingantl protecting tho rights of the Sonth. Yet inefficient and powerless as those Southern Whigs who aided in its defeat regarded ft, it guaranteed more to tbe South than any of tbeir Northern al lies was willing to grant. The bill encountered the undivided opposition of tho Northern YY’big party with iho isolated exception of Mr. Phelps, of Vermont; and ho took especial care to put his acquiescence in its passage upon tho groond, that it was a virtual enforcement of tho principles of the Wilmot proviso. These prominent instances havo been selected for the purposo of bringing clearly and distinctly before tho public mind of tbo South tbe relationship which tho two parties consideration, if there existed any. reasons that could with propriety have been assigned. It may bo tlmt too author was again apprehensive of wounding the feelings of sensitive Son there whigs; but we cannot see iu this any sufficient palliation for this omission. We all mnstimowaud feel that the unfortunate vole cast at the late presidential election by a majority of the Southern people for Millard Fillmore for the Vice Presidency, has had no inconsiderable agency in producing this state of things. Fillmore stood pledged before tbe coun try in favor of “immediate legislation by Congress for the abolition of slavery in the District ot Co lumbia." By nis silence he refused nny modifies lion of this or other equally odioos opinions, which he had promulgated more than ten years ago, in thu efforts (so common to his party,) of drawing into his support tbo abolition influeuco of his dis trict. With tlieso most infamous abolitiou senti ments hanging upon hia lips, he was triumphantly elevated, by the votes of tlie Sonth, tu tbe second office in the Republic. This vote, thus cast hy tho South in an evil hour, has been construed by these Northern fauatics into a willingness on her part to submit to tho practical operation of tlie principles so boldly avowed by her favorite candidate; and they have been embohleuded by this result to re new with redoubled zeal, the warfare upon our rights generally; and particularly have (herefforts been directed to the District of Columbia on ac count of the well known views of Millard Fillmore on that point. Southern members have been taun ted on the floor of Congress with this criticism ' upon the recent election; and bow,ever well satis fied wo may be of the fact, tbat our people never intended by their votes (o endorse the odious senti ments of tho man lor whom they voted, yet it is no easy matter to give a satisfactory solution of this most unfortunate vote, without compromising to some exteut, tho intelligence of those wbo were induced to give it. Be this as it may, we can entertain nodoubt of tbe general proposition that a new impetus has been give a to the abolition excitement, and a new energy imparted to ita ad- vecates by the consideration to which we have just alluded. To come to a di fferent conc 1 usion, we should be compelled to close oureyes to the scenes which have for the last two months been transpir ing around us. With this conviction resting on onr minds, we should have forfeited our own self-re spect and the confidence of onr friends, to have sot forth to the people, as a faithful account of this question, a paper which, upon this important view of it, was ns silent as tlie grave. Tho inquiry now presents itself, are these facts well authenticated, and is theargumeut which we have drawn from them proper and legitimate ? If to, it remains to he considered, why they were ex than those which promise to flow from the organi zation of a Southern sectional party. YVe have now fraukly nnd honestly stated the rea sons which have impelled ub to the course which we have felt it to be our duty to pursue, and they are submitted to those wfto have a right to pass upon them for their calm and deliberate consider ation. Onr object has beeo to defend ourselves, and not to assail others; and it is due to many of those who have sanctioned aeff signed the Address, that wo should disclaim any in'ejtion to attribute to them tbe motive of pruducing.the result which would inevitably follow the success cf the move ment. Their judgment has placed a different con struction upon tbe whole matter from ours, and in JClii* honest difference of opinion is to be found the reasons which hnve induced toe difference in onr action on the subject. Timo must determine be tween us, nqd to ijje award which future develop ments shall lender, we will cheerfully submit. . j Up to the present late period of the sastoti we have indulged tho hope tlmt this truly vexed a-id harrassing qnestion would bo settled upon terms jnst and honorable to all portions of the Union. In the proposition which sought to settle it by the ad mission of our new territories into the Uuion as States, we recognized a basis of adjustment which rested upon a principle to jnst end sacred, as we hoped would disarm nil opposition, aud commend itself to the favor of the most fastidious and vio lent on the one or tbo other side of tbe question. It looked to the will of the people, upon whom thu laws were to operate, as the best indication of what those laws should be. In the organization of their Stategovernments, ourfellow-cittzeus oi Cal ifornia and New Mexico, would egercise that great American privilege of determining for themselves I the nature and character of their local institutions; and whatever that decision might bo, surely no one who draws upon toe spirit of our revolutionary struggles for tho chart of his political faith, would complain of the result which Bowed naturally from the exerciso of the great and glorious principle of self-government. Whether this hope is destined to a realization or disappointment remains yet to bo seeu, though its prospects become morn and more unpromising, as each successive day brings us nearer the cleso of a session, whose panda are nearly run out. If the measure should be passed, it will bo like oil poiired. upon tbe troubled wa ters, and pcnco aud harmony and good feeling would again "be restored to our country. If it is lost, tho responsibility of its defeat, with its conse quences, must rest upon thore who produce the result.
