Ornamental Iron Work. /
We sec that a colossal Iron Harp has just
been placed upon James A. Ralston’s new
building, corner of Third and Cherry streets,
which forms a neat and appropriate finish to
the front of tho Hall. It measures across the
base six feet eight inches, nnd tho total height
from the base to the star which surmounts the
Harp, is seven feet six inches and it weighs three
hundred aud eighty five pounds. It was de
signed by A. Schwaab, and built by A. Mc
Queen. It is of that class of Iron Work known
as Wrought Iron Scroll Work, which admits
of being fashioned into an endless variety of
forms according to the taste aud skill of the
builder.
Parades.
The Volunteers and Rifles, were out last
Thursday, and their full ranks and fine ap
pearance excited universal remark. It was
Anniversary Parade day of the Volunteers*
They had some target firing, and the prize for
the best shot, a Silver Goblet, was won by
Lieut. A. G. Butts, to whom we wish a com
plete and solid service.
Worth County Meeting.
The second resolution embraces an honest
and earnest invitation to the opposition in
Georgia, to unite with us iu behalf of the coun
try. Objection is made to this and similar in
vitations that they contemplate a union under
the Democratic organization. Tell as, in all
candor, what other organization is there, or
can there be, adequate to the end proposed ?
There is none! there can be none! If the
constitution of onr common country is main
tained against Northern fanaticism, it must be
done by this party, just as it is now organised.
In the North, there is no man acting against
it, wbo is not at the same time an enemy of
sectional equality. The party cannot be
maintained in the North unless we maintain it
trinmphantly in the South. We cannot, there
fore, abandon it—it is tlie only—the last hope
of the country. Friends, you must come to
us, because for us to go to you would be mu
tual ruin.
New York.
The last act of the New York Black Repub
lican Legislature, xvas the adoption by a vote
of 72 to 33 of the following brutem fulmen
against the Supreme Court, the Dred Scott
decision, the fugitive slave law and the Con
stitution of the United States. We are curious
to know the political classification represented
by this vote; but without knowing, will ven
ture these predictions : That there is not in
cluded in this majority of seventy-two, one
solitary recognized member of the Nations!
Democratic Party; that there are plenty cf
“ Americans” in it aud very few or none in
tlio minority vote:
A’.-. That tills State X, ill not allow Slavery
within her borders, in any form, or under any pre
fence, for any time, however short.
Jteso/crJ, That the Supremo Court of the United
States, by reason of a majority of tho Judges thereof
having identified it with a sectional aud aggressive
party, has impaired tho confidence and respect of
the people of the States.
Resolved, That the Governor of this State be, aud
is hereby respectfully requested to transmit a copy
of these resolutions to tho respective Governors of
the jstates of this Union.
he first resolution, considered in the sense
evidently intended, is of course an abrogation
of the Constitutional provision relating to fu
gitives from slavery—of the act in pursuance
of the same, and of the ruling of the Supreme
Court, all of which are founded upon the by
pothesis that the status of slavery is not chan
ged, or the master’s title divested by a tem
porary sojourn in a non-slavcholding State.—
It proposes to rob the master and free the
slave the moment he touches the soil of New
York. But unless New York is now willing
to back this declaration by force and array her
self in arms against the Federal authority, by
resisting process thereunder for the recovery
of fugitives, it is a rapid and silly fulmination,
as empty us the rascals who made it, and brings
the State into contempt, as a mere wordy
braggart, with no purpose or courage for be
havior corresponding with language! The
individual guilty of this poltroonery, quickly
finds his level below universal contempt. So
soon as be is known to be such a puppy, bis
words all pass by as the idle wind which no
man regardeth—he is utterly below contempt!
But how much greater shame and pity is it,
that men who have the modicum of discretion
and taste to presene their own personality
from such ineffable degredation, will, in a col
lective capacity, and jjnder all the solemn
sanctions and responsibilities of Legislators,
inflict it upon their Slate, and that State New
York—the first in population, wealth and re
sources—the most favored of all the States
uuder the operation of our federative system,
which has poured untold wealth aud countless
blessings upon her people! She—she, the
last of all the States which should scout the
lawful authority of the Federal Government—
The Macon A Warrcnton
RAILROAD.
The Augusta adjourned Convention on this
enterprise met last Tuesday, and adopted the
following resolutions:
Resulted, That in tho opinion of this Con
vention, tho most practicable plnn for uniting
the city Macon with Augusta by railway, is
the construction of the road under the charter
of the Millcdgcville Railroad Company, nnd on
the route of the survey made by Col. Bonner,
with such modifications of the route ns further
examination mav render expedient and desira
ble.
Resolved, That, as the city of Charleston
and the South Carolina railroad will, to a great
extent, bo beneficiaries of this enterprise, it is
deemed reasonable and proper to invite then
to coutriliute to its stock at least one-third of
the capital required for the construction of said
road; and that the Convention, confiding iu
their ability and readiness to respond to that
amount, will proceed to secure in Georgia, ns
early as practicable, the other two-thirds—
the whole requisite capital according tothccs-
timntcof the Engineer, being one million five
hundred thousand dollars.
Resolved, That in tho judgment of this
Committee, one half of tho million ought to be
taken by the counties of Bibb, Jones, Baldwin,
Hancock and Warren ; nnd the other Half by
the city of Augusta and the Georgia Railroad
Company.
Resolved, That kooks of subscription be

We are glad to learn that there is yet some
doubt about the result in Iowa, the telegraph

( "1. 1>. W. Lewis, of Hancock, offered the
following resolutions us an amendment to the
report of the special committee:
Resolved, That this Convention recommend
to the Board of Directors, that with the except
ion of fix e per cent, which is required by the
charter to be paid down at the time of subscrip
ting. the stock subscribed shall be called in—
one third in the months of December or Janu
ary next, one third in the December or Janua
ry following, and one-third in the December
or January then next following, so as to allow
the planters and others taking stock, to know
at tho time of making their subscriptions, bow
much and when they will have to pay their
Instalments.
li,sl iced. That the Directors be requested
at the earliest possible moment after their or
ganization, to indicate by public notice whether
they adopt the suggestions of theforegoing res
olutions.
T io original resolutions and the resolutions
ottered by Col. Lewis wen
a
adopted.
Col. D. C. Campbell, of Millcdgcville then
otiered tlio following resolution, which was
adopted :
i; suited,' That Col. Absalom IL Chappell,
of Macon, Col. l’ottlo, of Warrcnton, and Ex-
Cox . Schley, of Augusta, be. requested to pre
sent before the stockholders of the Georgia
Railroad Company at their next convention,
tho i laims of this enterprise, and in the name
o! this Convention to solicit trom that company
u liberal subscription to the stock.
Ex-Governor Win. Schley then offered the
following which xvas adopted :
Resulted, That a committee to consist of
Hon. John 1’. King, Col. H. H. Cumming,
and James Gurduer, Esq., be requested to pre
sent to the corporate authorities of the city of
Charleston and of tbe South Carolina Railroad
Ben McCullough Governor of Vtah.
A Telegram from Washington, tho 24th,
states that McCullough, whileomcof tbe “Tex
as Rangers” has been tendered tbe Governor
ship of Utah. If this bo so, we think the man
suits tbe office exactly, and he ought to have
his Rangers to back him. Utah will be in o-
pen revolt, the moment tbe Government at
tempts to assert authority there, and the short
est and sharpest way with them will be the
best.
Major Samuel W. Flournoy, so long the
accomplished Editor of the Columbus Enqui
rer, died near that city, last Wednesday. He
had few superiors as a political writer and ed
itor in tbe country, and the press of Georgia
bears uuited testimony to his great personal
worth.
Charges anil Refutations.
The Telegraph has not burdened its col
umns with Herrick’s charge of Galpliinism n-
gainst Mr. Cobb, for the paym.nt of Thom
son's Menomonee Claim—nnd tho subsequent
documents showing that he did right iu the
payment and could not properly have done
otherwise, for the plain reason that it would
have been only traveling a long way to leave
matters just as they were found in respect to
Mr. Cobb. There arc few souls in Georgia
so simple as to believe that Gov. Cobb is go
ing to do anything in tho Treasury contrary
to law and justice.
<‘Slii»*>Histcrs.”
We thought these relics of the past had fin
ally disappeared about tho year of grace 1841,
but it seems, from notices iu the Columbus
prints, that they still circulate there, but arc
not to be taken by the merchants after 1st
proximo. This is behind times. It seems al
so, that bills issued by a Mr. T. M. Hogan
have been refused redemption! If this is the
same gentleman who bought the fourth shad
of the sc ison in Savannah at $30,09, the mat
ter, wc fear, is accounted for;
The Press .Responding’,
Wc xvcrc glad to receive, on Friday last, the Cass-
villc Standard and Georgia Banner, jmpere that
have favored the 8th of July as the day for the as
sembling of the Democratic Convention, containing
a response to the Compromise proposition of the At
lanta Democracy and declaring themselves with us
in that settlement of the question. If the Telegraph
and Albany Patriot will now co-operate, nothing
will be left but to announce the acquiescence of all
sections in the State to the meeting of the State
Convention on the 24th of June.—Atlanta Intel.
The Telegraph will interpose no objection
whatever to the compromise day named—24th
June. The 8th July would be better, and we
think there is a very considerable majority of
the press and party which prefer it; but wc
presume they, os xve, will be willing to con
cede for the sake of harmony. Unless, there
fore, wc shall find a general disposition in this
section to insist upon the majority voice, wc
shall assent to tho 24th day of June next, as
the clay for holding the Gubernatorial Con
vention.
A New Puper.
J. D. Williams proposes to publish in the
city of Montgomery, or Wetumpka, Ala., a
monthly periodical to be called the African
Advocate and Southern Erjiositor rf American
Slarcry, provided he can obtain one thousand
subscribers at $2 per anum, in advance. The
name of the paper sufficiently indicates its ob-
ject.
she, bloated with the wealth of a system which
has made her its great commercial centre—
she flouts the Constitution and the Govern
ment in the face with this idle braggardism
which not a man in this detestable majority of
a detestable and treasonable Legislature, pur
poses to back with a single preparation to vin
dicate the majesty of State authority by carry
ing into vigor and effect this formal declaration,
“that this State will not ALLOW slavery in her
borders in any form, or under any pretence,
for any time, however short!” If a Southern
er goes to New York the ensuing summer,
with his servant, will the State intervene to
despoil him of his servant? No! Private
thieves may do it, but the State will lend no
sanction further than may be gleaned from
this idle pronunciamcnto. If he resist and
reclaim his servant under the fugitive act, will
the State intervene by force and arms to put
down U. S. authority—free the slave and ex
tinguish the status of slavery*, which she has
here declared shall not exist in New York “for
any time, however short?” 0, no—nobody
anticipates such action—not even one of those
whose vote placed the Empire State in this
declaratory attitude. They contemplate no
such result—they have made no provision for
it in appropriations for forces, arms and muni
tions of war. If a fugitive is apprehended,
notwithstanding all this formal pronunciamcn
to by the State, she, as such, will not intervene,
and there will onlybe the ordinary obstruction
from the rabble! Nobody believes more or
less than this, notwithstanding this formal and
authoritative enunciation from the Government
of the ,State. It is sheer bathos-MatAer, and
if there were any thing like a proper degree of
patriotic pride in and concern for the dignity
of tho State, tho check of every true New
Yorker would burn and tinglo at the bare
thought of such a ridiculous exhibition of im
becile treason and senseless and inane brag
gardism. It would be a hard matter to save
the hounds who hare compromised the honor
of the State of New York in this way, from a
summary halter, and scorn aud detestation
would meet them at every step.
So New York stands toward the Federal
Government—grinding her teeth and afraid to
strike—hostile and traitorous in words, but
daring no overt act. From tbe ridiculous at
titude in which Black Republicanism has pla
ced her, she assails the Supreme Court, and
complains of it as “sectional and aggressive 7”
She sees, like the drunkard, through a be
sotted and distorted medium of her own in
tense sectionalism, and everybody is sectional
who has thought or purpose beyond her own
rabid and intolerant negrophily. The Con
stitution and Government of the United States
declare that fugitives shall bo delivered up ;
New York declares that they shall not, but
shall be free; ami yet New York, thus open
ly scouting the Constitution and her solemn
obligations under it, complains of a sectional
and aggressive policy. 0 most incomprehen
sible of all enigmas, tbis of the human mind,
which may be so perverted and darkened that
a man’s tongue can utter such things and not
be paralysed by an upbraiding conscience!—
And thus reeking with treason and outrage
upon the Constitution nnd her obligations of
faith, comity and good neighborhood to her
sisters in the Confederacy, she even provides
for sending these, her complaints, to the “Gov
ernors of the respective States!!” Surely,
we may look long before we shall find a strong
er illustration of a blind, as xvell as intolerant
fanaticism ! So insensible to her oxvn moral
insanity and fanaticism, as to volunteer an ap
peal to the great jury of the nation. To such
an appeal there can he no appropriate answer
beyond silence! There arc no words adequate
to a fitting response. Wc have used strong
language, and would have used stronger, if
wc knexv how. The time is come when the
press if it lias a word of honest rebuke, or
voice for the Constitution aud Government of
of our Fathers should speak out! Wc have
had persistent treason in Massachusetts and
Vermont, which insist upon the benefits and
deny the obligations of the Federal Govern
ment. But these xve look upon, from their po
sition, origin and precedents, as naturally sec
tional and intolerant. When, however, the
great metropolitan State—the great commer
cial centre of the Republic, thus solemnly repu
diates her constitutional obligations, we must
come to a halt aud survey the ground. The
States of this Confederacy caunot much long
ey
er travel the same road on these terms. Can
the Democratic Party of the Empire State an
nul the treason and reverse the attitude of Xexv
York? There is no other help but in them
and the few other conservative men they tn
be able to enlist for the work. It is no cliil
play. It is the Herculean task to which th
must now address themselx'cs with all the in
spirntion of a high, holy and patriotic pur
pose. To redeem the State—to burn the
treasonable, resolutions in a public bon-fi
by tlie hands of the High Sheriff before the
Capitol—to erase and destroy in indignant
patriotism tlie last vestige of this treason from
the records of the Empire State—this is the
xvork before the New York Democracy

mere causeless and gratuitous jeer of the Bain

the solid claims of Col. Gardner, by putting
them in jnxta position xvith pretensions which
if they really existed, every man xvould recog
nize as simply preposterous. We like a joke,
but not such a joke os this. It is not a harm
less one.

We have the following summary of acheve
meats by her last legislature. Utah, Nexv York
Ohio, Vermont aud Massachusetts are now in
position of openly contemning the Constitution
and Government of the United States, with the
difference in favor of Utah that she demands
nothing of the Government—makes no preten
sions of any kind of allegiance and means to
carry out her treason vi et armis. Utah, too
is for the Indians, xvhile the others go for the
negroes. Utah offers the best sample of
manly treason:
Anti-Slavery Legislation ia Ohio
Cincinnati, April 20.—Tbe Ohio Legislature ad

rill making it a Penitentiary offence to claim or
hold a slave in Ohio, or undertake to carry away
from the State, as a slave, any freo person of color.
This is inteuded to prevent the operation of the Dred
Scott decision. Resolutions xvere also adopted
declaring it to be a duty to use all tho power consis
tent xx'itu the national compact, to prux’ent tho in
crease of, and to mitigate and finally eradicate slave
ry. The ordinance of 1787, as far as it concerns
slavery, should be extended to all tho Territories of

tives of the State iu Congress are requested to vote
against tbe admission of any State unless slavery is
excluded by its constitution.

Judge Story’s Opinion
The Buffallo Commercial Advertiser relates,
that in the opinion delivered bjr Justice Nelson
of this State in the Superior Court of the United
States, on the Dred Scott case, he quoted a
very remarkable letter written by Judge Story
in 1828 relating to a case analogous to that of
Dred Scott. It seems that Judge Story xvas
accustomed to write at least ouce a year to
Lord Stoxvell, sending him a copy of his judi
cial decisions, which the latter duly reciprocat
ed. At length, a case arose in the English
Court, (of which Lord Stowell xvas Chief Jus
tice.) xvhero an Antigua slave xvas carried by
liis master to England for temporary residence,
and was subsequently taken back to Antigua.
He brought suit for his freedom, and the Inferior
Court decided against his right to freedom
In the Appellate Court Lord Stowell, iu behalf
of a majority of the Court, affirmed the judg
ment below. Lord Stowell sent his decision
to Judge Story, who delayed replying so long
that Lord S. again. xvrote to him, expres
sing regret at not receiving a reply, aad a hope
that their pleasant correspondence, of so many
years’ standing, would not cease. To these
letters Judge Story replied as folloxvs:
Salem, near Boston, Sept. 22, 1823.
To Rt. Hon. Win. Lord Stoxvell:
My Lord—I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letters of January and May
last, the forqicr of which reached me in the
latter part of spring, and the latter quite re
cently. • • • I have read, xvith great at
tention, your judgment in the slave caso from
the vice Admiral Court in Antigua. Upon the
fullest consideration which I have been able to
give the subject, I entirely concur in your views.
If I had been called upon to pronounce a judg
ment in a like case, I should certainly have ar
rived at the same result, though I might not
have been able to present the reasons which
led to it in such a striking and convincing man
ner. It appears to me tliat the dccisiou is im
pregnable.
In my native State (Massachusetts) the state
of slavery is not recognized as legal; and yet,
if a slave should come hither and afterwards
return to his own home, we should certainly think
that the local law would rc-altach ujton him,
and that his servile character would be re-in
tegrated. I have had occasion to know that
your judgment has been extensively read in
America (where questions of this nature are
not of unfrequent discussion), and I never have
heard any other opinion but that of approba
tion of it expressed among the profession of
the law. I cannot but think that, upon
questions of this sort, as well as general mari

had studied a little more extensively tlie prin

beyond their oxvn municipal jurisprudence.

Political Prcacliing.
A number of members of the Presbyterian
church at Jersyville, Ill., having become heart
ily disgusted xvith tiie political preaching which
has been inflicted upon them for a year or txvo
oast, met a fexv days ago, and adopted rcso-
'ations disclaiming all wish or intention of im
posing any restriction whatever on subjects
properly appertaining to ministerial duty, yet
still claiming for themselves tlie right to judge
how far ministerial duty transcends its legiti
mate prerogative when it introduces into the
church as part of the xvorship of God, the sub
ject of party politics, and declaring that while
they are at all times ready and willing to con

Sun Flower vs. Chills and Fever.
Lieut. 31. F. Maury publishes, in the Rural
Nexv Yorker, an article recommending tlie
growth of Sun Flowers as a preventive to Chills
and Fever. We copy the substance of his ar
ticle, as follows;—
The dwelling of the Superintendent is ad
joining the Observatory, which is situated on
a hill on the left bank of the Potomac, its lat.
33 deg., 39 min., 53 sec. It is ninety-four
feet above the low xvaterof ebb tide, and about
four hundred yards from the river. The
grounds pertaining to it contain about seven
teen acres, inclosed by a brick wall on the
East, Soutli and West sides, with a packet fence
on the North. Tlie South xvall runs along
nearly parallel with the river, and so does the
West. The Chesapeake and Ohio canal, fring
ed by a single row of sycamores of some txvcn-
ty years’s growth, separates the wall from the
rix-er. In fact the river, with its marshes at
the foot of the hill, encircles the grounds of
the Observatory half way round, viz: from
S, E. by xvay of S. to N. W. Thus, you per
ceive, xve arc in a sort of bend in the river.
Most of the marshes are just “a wash” at low
xvatcr, parts of them arc bare when tlie tide is
out, and all of them, in the early summer, arc
covered xvith a rank growth of grass and weeds
xvhieh begin to decay in August. This is the
commencement, too, of the sickly season, and
a fexv minutes’ xvalk about the grounds of the
Observatory after sunset has been found suffi
cient to bring on upon strangers an attack of
ague and fever. The place is so unhealthy
that my family are compelled to desert it for
four or five months every year. Last year
they broke up early iu Slay, and did not re
turn till November.
Now, I am not going into a dissertation con
cerning malaria or miasm, for, be the seeds of
the pestilence xvliat they may, those of these
iutermittents are supposed to be due in a great
measure to the marshes of the Potomac. The
decay of the vegetable matter upon them in
fects the air with impurities of some kind which
predispose to chills and fevers—such is the
popular belief at any rate.
This brings me to the history of the sun
floxver experiment. A process of reasoning
like the following led me to try it.
If it be the decay of the vegetable matter
on the marshes that produces the sickness on
the hill, then the sickness must be owing to
the deleterious effects of some gas, miasm or
effluvium, that is set free during the decompo
sition; and if so, the poisonous matter, or
the basis of it, whatever it be, must have
been elaborated during the growth of the
weeds, and set free in their decay. Nqjv, if
this reasoning be good, why might we not, by
planting other vegetable matter between us
and the marshes, and by bringing it into a
vigorous growth just about the time that that
of the marshes begins to decay, bring fresh
forces of the vegetable kingdom again to play
upon this poisonous matter, and elaborate it
again into vegetable tissue, and so purify the
air ?
This reasoning appeared plausible enough
to justify the trouble and expense of experi
ment, and I was encouraged to expect more or
less success from it, in the circumstance that
everybody said, “plant trees between you and
tho marshes—they will keep off the chills.”
But as to the trees, it so happens that at the
very time xvhen the decomposition on the
marshes is going on most rapidly, the trees,
for the most part, have stopped their growth
to prepare for the winter, and though trees
might do some good, yet a rank groxvth of
something got up for the occasion might- do
more. Hops climb high; they arc good ab
sorbents, aud of a rank growth, hut there
were objections to hops ca account of stakes,
poles, See. I recollected that I had often seen
sun floxvers groxving about the cabins in the
West, and had heard, in explanation, that it
xvas “healthy” to have them. This xvas so
much more iu favor of making the experiment
with sun flowers.
An acre of sun flowers will absorb during
their groxvth many thousand gallons of water
more than arc supplied by the rains. They
are great absorbents. They are easy of cul
tivation, are more rank than hops—they re
quire no poles, and the seed are very valua
ble. I paid eight dollars a bushel for them.
This plant, therefore, apparently offered to
fulfill all the conditions required to satisfy the
problem ; for if the supposition that the ague
and fever poison be imparted to the atmos
phere by the decaying vegetable matter in
the marshes, and if this poison were set free
during tho process of decay, why should not
the suu floxvers in their rank growth absorb
it. and again elaborate it iuto vegetable mat
ter, and so fix it, at least for a while, aud un
til cold weather ? I consulted upon this sub
ject xvith one of the most useful men this coun
try ever produced—the late A. J. Downing,
of Newburg—aud lie thought the idea a good
one.
Finally, I resolved to make the experiment,
the risk of spoiling the looks of a beautiful
lawu. Accordingly, in the fall of 1855, the
gardener trenched up to tho depth of two aud
a half feet a belt about forty-five feet broad
around the Observatory on the marshy side,
and from one hundred and fifty to txvo hun
dred yards from the buildings. The condi
tions of the theory I xvas about to try requir
ed rich ground, tall sun floxvers and a rank
groxvth. Accordingly, after being xvell ma
nured from the stable yard, tlie ground xvas
properly prepared aud planted in sun flowers
last spring. They grew finely; the sickly
season was expected xvith more than the usual
anxiety. Finally it set in, and there xvas
shaking at the President’s House and other
places as usual, but for the first time since the
Obserx'atory xvas built the watchmen about it
gathered the summer clear of chills and fc-
crs. These men, being most exposed to the
ight air, suffer most, and heretofore txvo or
three relays of them xvould he attacked during
the season; for as ouc falls sick, another is
employed in his place, xvlio, in turn, being at
tacked, xvould iu like manner give xvay to a
fresh hand. And, last year, attacks of ague
and fever xvere more than usually prevalent
