CASSVILLE, GEO.
THURSDAYMORNING,
SEP 16,1858.
Getting Along Bather 81owly.
If we mar judge from the tone of the
Democratic press in this State, Messrs.
Stephens and Toombs and the Constitu
tionalist will find it an up kill business
to attempt to build up a Douglas party
in Georgia.
We publish two articles in to-day’s
paper, on the propriety of Georgia Dem
ocrats forgiving the gentleman from Il
linois for bis desertion to the enemy,
in the late Kansas fight, and begging
him to come back to his “ first love”—
one from the Federal Union, Milledge-
ville, and the other from the Southern
Banner, Athens—by reference to which
it will be seen that the Editors of those
piijiers are far from being Douglas men.
The Columbus Times, another lead
ing Democratic paper, is also becoming
rai her refractory in the attempt of a por
tion of our leaders to welcome Mr. Doug
las back iulo the Democratic party.
The Macon State Press, another ster
ling State Bights paper, is also scuud
on the “ Douglas question.”
Our neighbor of the Express, is also
unwilling to fight under the Douglas
banner.
We would be glad if the Democratic
press of Georgia were a unit on tbis
question, but we do not censure any
man for not thinking as we do. We don’t
Doagla* Democrats! Attention!
The attention of Mess. Stephens,
Toombs, Judge Wright, the Constitu

gentlemen, show it to your neighbors,
then cut it out and paste it in your hats,
for future reference.
In the discussion at Freeport, III., on

no.v consistently support or endorse I Wn'making throughout the canvass, while eluded it was but safe to follow the ex- swet a hundred times, on every stamp [ ^ing at each other’s throats with bull-dog
Douglas, when it is remembered that it
is mainly through Lis influence that a
slave State was refused admission, on
account of her Constitution tolerating
slavery. If Douglas had remained true,
Kansas would have been admitted into
the Union under the Lecompton Consti
tution despite the treachery of a few
South Americans. These are facts, but
others may possess more charity than
we claim for ourself.
Hr. Toombs Endorses Douglas.
The Wilkes Republican, published at
Washington,! lie residence of Mr.Tootubs,
takes it for granted that Mr. Stephens
condemned the Administration and ad
vocated the re-election of Douglas, du
ring his north-western tour, and says it
fully endorses his course.
The idea of Iris name being placed on
the ticket with ihat of Douglas’, in the
next presidential campaign, pleases Mr.
Toouibs’ fancy, and accounts for bis sud
den conversion to his fate bitter enemy.
Mr. Toombs has perhaps forgotten his
recent speech in Congress, on the Le
compton bill, in answer to one made by
Douglas—in which he denounced the
“ little giant” in such unmeasured terms
—charging him with getting choked on
llie Lecompton bill because these was a
nigger in it—in fact denouncing him in
such strong terms, such a personal man
ner, that many thought there would be
a call for “ pistols and coffi-e for two.”
Verily “ a change has come o’er the
spirit (if his dreams.”
Messrs. Stephens and Toombs have
come to the conclusion that the Democ
racy of Georgia can’t get along without
them—that they can lead us any where
they choose to; but we trust the “ un
terrified” will cjnsider where they are
drifting, lefore they countenance any at
tempt calculated to give “aid and com
fort” to our (recent) worst enemy. You
cau’t support Douglas and at the same
ri«RC lie true to your section. Recollect
xliat but for his treachery (and that of a
few Southern men) Kansas would bave
been admitted iuto the Union as a sbtve
State. How any true Southern man, in
view of these facts, can now denounce
ibe Administration—which stood by us
•during tlie whole Kansas struggle—and
vuphold the apostate, Douglas, is a little
unore thau has ever been “ dreamt of
in ear philosophy.”
Information Wa nted.
If it is uot asking too much, we would
be pleased if Mr. Stephens,Judge Wright
or the Constitutionalist, will inform tbe
pnblic why they seek to make the im
pression that the contest in Illinois is
solely between Douglas and Lincoln f—

worth tbe room they would occupy in our col-

look upon the fight between them somewhat as
the woman did upon that between her husband
and the bear. No matter which may get the
most votes, Douglas or Lincoln, the national
democracy of Illinois will prevent the success
of either by electing Judge Breese, or some
other good democrat, to the Senate of the Uni

Now I submit to you, Mr. Editor, nay
I put it to the Judge himself—is it
strange that he who can boast no bet

strange that he should be unable to

to discusa matters which more particu- whw) b i s conve rsior. was the result simp-

to the Democratic party, and more danger,
ous than an open and confessed enemy.
Why does Senator Douglas so fiercely as
sail the National Administration? What
has it done, since he so warmly espoused tbe
very measures which it has consummated ?
The only point of complaint is, that the Ad
ministration in its Knnsay policy has stood
by the South. Tbe Southern Democracy as
with one voice demanded the recognition of
the Lecompton Constitution, as a iegal ex
pression of the will of the people of Kansas
Tbe Administration brought all its power to
bear in favor of it; and the united vote of
the Southern Democracy passed tbe English
bill, and as they thought, settled tbe vexed
question forever. From what quarter did
tbe opposition to this measure come ? From
Seuator Douglas and the United Black Re
publicans in Congress And when the con
test was over, where do we find Senator
Douglas ? Upon tbe stnmp; not simply de
fending his own course, but denouncing the
action of the Democratic party and tbe Ad
ministration of its choice, as an effort to con
summate a monstrous fraud in the Admiss
ion of Kansas under the Lecompton Consti
tution ; and he goes a step further, and
returns thanks to the Black Republicans
and abolitionists for the aid they gave him
in defeating this "fraud.” Ami now that
the people ot Kansas have rejected the terms
of admission offered in the English bill, Sen
alor Dougins and his confederaies are nni
ting their efforts to force the admission ai
once, and thus to repudiate the principle
feature of the English bill, which cornmen
ded it to the South. It is a monstrous idea
not for a moment to be entertained, that the.
Democracy of the South should repudiate
and brand with the seal of their emphatic
diupprobation, an Administration that has
been true to the South on every question ip
which her rights were at stake, merely to
save a reckless nDd ambitious politician from
political oblivion. No : Senator Douglas
aud bis apologists North and South may en
deavor to change tbe issne to a personal Bon
test between himself and Abe Lincoln for a
seat in the United States Senate. The'De-
mocracy of the South cannot be galled by
such a deceptive trick. Neither Douglas nor
Lincoln are authorised to make any snch
issue for the National Democracy, or even
for the people of lllino<a, and.tbe true men
of the ccuntry will refuse to take either Mr.
Douglas or Mr Lincoln. They pronounce
both as unsound and utterly unworthy ol
their confidence; aud if they can find no
better representative of their opinions and
feelings to act with them in the Semite,
they cught not to care the toss of a copper
which is elected. An oped enemy is prefer,
able to a deceitful friend. Douglas was with
us until the time of trial came; then he de
ceived and betrayed us. Will tbe Democra
cy of Georgia take bim again into close
fellowship with the odor of his late treason
fresh upon bis garments? Jf he willed
with the Democratic party, let tbe futnre
test the sincerity of bis professions. But of
one thing ire are certain : as long as he
fights Mr. Buchanan's Administration for
the part it took in passing tbe English bill,
so long should every loyal Democrat give

that they would not be associated with men
who are incompetent teachers of med cal ic :

without going to New York or Philadelphia.
There was a time when this was true; but
thanks to tbe energies of onr own people
are happy to be enabled to boast of as good
Medical Institutions in the South as are to
be found in tbe Union. Bur, says some ad.
mirer of the venerable schools of Philndel
phia and New York —and we claim to be
among that group—the facilities are so
much greater in these cities for mipnninga
clinical knowledge of medicine. Now. i> bos.
pital facilities are what is here alluded to.
why not go to New Orleans ? What city in
America vies with the crescent city m tin-
number of cases annually in her various
hospitals ? The country practitioner, and
this is tbe class of most medical men in the
South, wishes to become familiar with the
prevailing type of diseases m the South. »nd
to know wbat treatment is best adapted to
snch diseases as be will be necessarily com
pelled to treat. Can this be done as Well at
the North as at the Sooth ? We unhesita
tingly say, nay ! ’Tis true that the same
general principles of medicine are taught in
all Medical Colleges—and when we say
medical, we mean allopathic, for we belong
to tbis school exclusively—bat it is requi.
site for the Southern physician to become
familiar with something more than general
principles. He most understand something
connected with specific principles—i. e. the
nature oi diseases, as controlled by tlie hi
fluence of geographical locations. Tins can
be best accomplished, not by books, bnt from
the lips of the ••'ivng’’ leclurer who has
spent his whole itte in studying the pecu
liarities of, and in treating of the diseases
of, the Snntb. This may not appear true to
the young medical aspirant, whomayttish
to begin his professional career wish all the
eclat which a graduation in some of the
Medical Colleges of tbe North may confer,

But yet, says the Judge, “ there is not
an impulse of my soul that is not with
him." Then all I have to sav to the
Judge is that there is not an impulse
of his soul that is with the Democracy
—and that is a distinct and palpable
admission of the very point which I had
set out to establish. “Douglas,” con
tinues the Judge, “ is a true man to his
country. The difference about Lecomp
ton I regard as a difference about facts
not principles." Is that so! Is i' «
difference of facta, only? Is there in
difference in principle between Donuia-
and the Democracy! Has it not long
been regarded as a principle of Demo
cratic faith, (as recently decided in the
Supreme Court of the U. Su, ia the Dred
Scott case,) that the Federal Constitu
tion recognised slavery as a legal insti
tution, aad that the right therefore of
aliases of slave-bolding States to carry
slaves into the common Territories was
a constitutional right! Hava not the

Haj. McCullough on His Way Home.
Major McCullough—ODe of the Commiss
ioners upon the part of the United States
government to negotiate with the Mormons
in Utah—passed through our city yesterday,
on h'S way East, and honored us with a call
at the office of the Inquirer. The Major was
in the enjoyment of excellent health, and
came through from Salt Lake City to Leav-
erworth (Kansas) in thirty three days, by
an overland journey across the plains The
Major has no confidence in tbe perpetuity of
the peace made with tbe Mormons, un'ess
tbe Government keeps at Salt Lake City a
strong military force—say from fifteen hun
dred to two thousand men.
In regard to tbe population of (he Mor
mons, tbe Major estimates it at about fitly
thousand. They could bring into the field
about seven thousand fighting men. of whom
some seven hundred are excellent troops and
efficient monntaineers. The Major si»t<d
in the coarse of conversation, that he n-iv
sed Brigham Young, if he desired to fntin •
great State and hiearchy. to pull up
stakes and remove to some other conn"y
The prophet afterward declared that b,-
lowed no man to advise him— to stand
tween him and bis God, from *h"m alone >
took bis counsels.
It is Major McCullough's decided opinion
that the United States should maintain there
a very strong military government, for the
Mormons have no love far onr institutions,
and can only be kept in subjection by coer
cive measures To efiect that it would be
necessary to repeal tbe law organizing the
Territory, and vest all antbority in a Gov
ernor and Council, appointed by the Presi
dent and Senate.—Cincinnati Enquirer,
