Public Meeting.
Pursuant to tho call for a public meeting, pub
lished ia the city papers, a very large and respect
able number of our citizens assembled at the Ex
change on Monday evening last, for the purpose of
considering and giving expression to their opinions
upon the important questions which now engage
rthe public attention.
The meeting was duly organized by calling
VV. Tho, ‘ne VY illiarns to preside over its ddibera- j
tionsanclappointingThos.il. Harden to act as
Secretary.
The Chair having briefly explained the object
•ff the meeting, on motion of the Hon. W. B.
lieming, a committee of seven was appointed to
prepare and report a preamble and resolutions
hr the consideration of the meeting.
The Chair nominated the following gentlemen
tocomposc said Committee : lion. VV. B. Flem
ing. H >n. Wm. Law, Messrs. A. R. Lawton,
Henry Harper, A. A. Stm ts, R. A. Allen, and
Jas. M. Pepper, who after a short absence return- i
*d,and through their Chairman, Judge Fleming,
reported the following preamble and resolutions,
to wit:
deem it at all times the right, and in some
contingencies the duty of the people to meet in
primary assemblies, and give expression to their
opinions in regard to questions of interest pend
]aJ before the country. There is at present pernl
-1 ? before the country a question (the slave ques
t'un)big with the fate of th s Union—a Union
onder which we have lived and prospered for
tlian half a century —a Union dear to our
Actions—a Union with which is associated all
Ut u glorious in our memory of the past —all
; atis bright in our hopes of the future —a Union
die dissolution of which we would regard as the
Attest misfortune that could befall the human
Uce i for we do believe that the experiment of
,f : government now going on in this country under
tne auspices of this Union is the last experiment
ln tivor of human rights—if it fails, the problem
w ul have been forever solved that man is incapa
t,e°f self-government. A result to which the
depots of the world must bo looking with the
• • J *t joyful anticipations.
ith ueh u question pending before the coun
b it is not only our right, but our duty to give
to our opinions, if not for the govern
men h at least for the information of those whose
Peculiar duty it is to decide this momentous qties
tlon - We, therefore, in the exercise of this right
s,|(1 'n the discharge of this duty, do resolve —
lrt - That it is the duty of Congress at once
Bn d without delay to put an end to the agitation
‘■ i| e slavery question by a fair and honorable
a l) ll tmpnt of the same on the principles of the
that is, on grounds consistent with
tle Cos: ‘ sl itutional rights of every section of the
c °untry.
“■d. That Congress has no right under the eon
“ J tion to abolish or to establish slavery, wheth*
* fj ° the States or Territories, or in the District
Columbia. That non-intervention by Congress
the subject of slavery is the true Southern
* r °und, bee ,iue it is constitutional ground. That
T i(? Adjustment Bill now pending before the U. S.
er] ate, and known as the Clay Compromise, re
fogiiizps this great principle of non-intervention
by Congress, and would be a settlement of the
*lavery question pn grounds consistent with the
Constitutional rights of every section of the
country.
3d. That the ultimatum of the Nashville Con
trition is objectionable, because it contemplates
*° adjustment of the boundary question between
Xa and New Mexico —because it contemplates
. 4rA 'on by Congress to facilitate the recovery
k u gniv e slaves~—but principally objectionable,
caus e it is a violation of the principles of non-
ten ention by Congress—that ultimatum being a
‘ rect c all upon Congress to recognize slavery
eo °di of a particular line of latitude. That in
lhe event no other settlement of the present diffi-
culties, more fully recognizing Southern rights, can
be had, we would acquiesce in the proposition of
the Nashville Convention, but only in deference
to the fact that the South acquiesced in a like set
tlement of the Missouri question.
4th. That the admission of California into the
Union, with her Constitution prohibiting slavery,
would not be legislation by Congress on the sub
ject of slavery. 1 hat the people of a territory
when sufficient in numbers, have the right to
meet in convention, and to ordain and establish
for themselves a constitution and a government,
with such provisions on the subject of slavery, or
any other subject, as they may think most condu
cive to their interest, prosperity and happiness
the only restriction on the exeicise of their pow
er in the Constitution of the United States, being
that such Constitution and government shall be
republican in its character. That, therefore, the
admission of California into the Union, would
furnish no just ground for resistance on the part of
the South.
oth. That it is the duty of Congress to provide
territorial governments for Utah arid New Mexico,
without the Wilmot Proviso or uny other proviso
of like character. That the adoption by Congress
of any measures looking to emancipation, in any
form or at any time, would he a gross violation of
the constitutional rights of the Siuth, and would
call for and receive the sternest and most deter
mined opposition of the South.
Gth. That the prohibition by Congress of the
importation of slaves into the District of Colum
bia for the purpose of sale, would not be such le
gislation by Congress on the subject of slavery as
would make necessary or justify resistance on the
part of the South, the same being a more notice
regulation, not at all affecting the value of the
title to such property, or in any way endangering
its existence. And for the further reason that
Georgia has herself so legislated on this subject,
having prohibited the importation of slaves into
her borders for the purpose of sale or traffic, and
because similar laws exist i.i the States of Mary
land and Virginia.
7ih. The fugitive slave hill now pending before
Congress, as part of the adjustment hill reported
by the Committee of thirteen, or some other hill
of like character has been made necessary by the
total failure of the Northern States to fulfil their
constitutional obi iga.ions to the South on this sub
ject.
8:h. 1 jiat the proportion, to settle the bounda
ty between Texas tied New Mexico, is a proposi
tion entirely for the consideration of Texas, and
with which we ha.ve nothing to do.
9th. 1 lta'c we cannot express two strongly our
disapprobation of of all ultimata as dangerous to
the Union. That we hold ourselves ready now.
a r .d all times, to accept any adjustment of the
present difficulties that shall be equitable and fair
to Southern rights, and honorable to Southern feel*
i nff*
10th. That whilst we love the Union, and will
do all we can to prevent its dissolution, except for
just cause, yet that whenever the South acts, and
however she acts, and for whatever cause she acts
(Georgia acting with the South,) we will feel it
our duty to yield our private judgements, and cast
in our lot* with the South, whether it be for weal
or for woe.
11th. That our confidence in the lion. John
McPherson Berrien, and other patriotic Senators
who have sought by amendments to make the ad
justment Biil acceptable to the South, is increased
rather titan diminished, and we hereby tender to
them our thanks for their zealous defence of our
rights and institutions.
After the reading of the above resolutions, Dr.
Jas. P. Screven rose and offered to the meeting,
as a substitute for them, the preamble and resolu-*
tions which had been reported to, arid adopted by
a previous meeting of uur citizens, on Tuesday
evening, the 22d inst., to wit :
Both the ci i sis, and the consequently excited
state of public feeling throughout the South, de
mand every where a full and frre expression
public opinion.
Hitherto the voice of submission, or of com
promise equal to submission, has been ever lou
dest in our midst, deluding the North as to the
state of public sentiment in the South,and strength
ening the arm of the oppressor to acts of further
aitfession. The occasion now calls for a more
decisive stand, and it behooves all who believe
submission has ceased to he a virtue, and a further
surrender of their rights to be a disgrace to them
selves and a crime against posterity, calmly,
yet firmly, to speak in the clearest accents of
warning to the ear of the aggressor.
We believe the prevalent opinion now through
out the South to be that the Senate’s Compromise
is no compromise at all. It takes from ns the
whole of California with its almost illimitable
boundaries, and leaves New Mexico and Utah to
be the subjects of a like fraudulent admission to
State sovereignty, during tho next session of Con
gress. It seeks to bribe Texas to a surrender of
of a vast portion of her slave Territory for the
purpose of annexing it to a jurisdiction where i*
wdll inevitably become free soil. It abolishes the
slave trade in the District of Columbia, a District
which as trust property iscommon to the Union,
and finally tends to practice a deception upon the
South by making a matter of Compromise of the
clear Constitutional right which we have to
t he aid of Congress in recovering our fugitive
slaves.
Feeling therefore, that the Senate’s adjustment
instead of closing, will widen the breach between
the North and the South,
It is therefore Resolved , That we fully endorse
the position assumed in the resolutions passed by
the patriotic assembly lately convened at Nash
ville, and tender to the members thereof, our
warmest gratitude for the dignity, firmness and
ability, with which they dischaiged the duties that
devolved upon them.
Resolved, That in agreeing to take the Missouri
Compromise, we do so only because such a basis
has been heretofore^acquiesced in as a means of
preserving the Union.
Resolved, That any Compromise that yields
more on the part of the South than the Missouri
Compromise, or of which that Compromise
is not the basis, is oppressive and degrading to
the slaveholding States as equals with the North
in the Confederacy, and as binding one portion of
the Confederacy to a state of abject dependence
upon the other.
Resolved, That under the present circumstances
of the country, and the known want of a proper
representative population within its borders, the
admission of New Mexico as a State would jus
tify the most extreme measures on the part of the
South.
Resolved, I hat the course pursued in Congress
by our Senators and serveral of the Representatives
from this State, upon the slavery question, and
especially, by the Hon. John McPherson Ber
rien, and the lion. Josefii W. Jackson, prove
them warm and devoted patriots, Worthy the con
fidence of the whole South and the esteem and
approbation of their immediate constituents.
Dr. Screven’s motion being seconded Mr. A. R.
Lawton rose and addressed the meeting in ex
planation of his own views, and defined his posi
tion on the questions at issue before the country.
He expressed his dissent from a portion of the
resolutions which had been reported by the Com
mittee ol seven, of which he was a member, ap
proving of the adjustment bill reported to the
Senate by the Committee of thirteen. He had a
high regard for the wisdom and patriotism of that
Committee, and although he had serious objec
tions to many of the features of the Adjustment
Bill, still he was disposed to regard it favorably,
and had hoped that such amendments would have
been adopted, as to have made it acceptable to
the South, and have restored peace and harmony
to the country. In this lie had been disappointed,
and he cou.d not subscribe to the resolution of the
Committee which declared that the Bill us it now
stood was such an adjustment as the South could
be satisfied with, nor could he assent to the decla
ration that the South had nothing to do with the
settlement of the boundary line of Texas.
Judge I* lenting followed in an able speech in
suppoit of the resolutions. IJe contended that
the Nashville Convention and the Southern oppo
nents of the Compromise bill in Congress had as
sumed in regard to the admission of California,
precisely the same ground that the North assumed
touaids Missouri, when, she applied for admis
sion. lie saw no just ground of objection on the
part of the South to tho admissson of California,
or any reason why Georgia should interfere in re
lation to tho boundary of Texas. The true
Southern ground was non-interference by Congress
” ’•th me slave question, and that was the doctrine
of the Compromise bill. 3 lie suppression of the
Slave trade in the District of Columbia was no
interference.
Judge E. J. Harden next addressed the meeting
in opposition to the resolutions, and in support of
the substitute. He contended that the substitute
resolutions expressed the sentiments of the people
of Georgia at. large, and ought to be ratified by
the meeting. lie warned the people against the
dangerous doctrines embraced in the so-called
Adjustment Bill, and said that although “ the
hands were Esau's hands, ” there was no mistaking
the voice—“the voice was Jacob’s voice. ”
Judge Law addressed the meeting in a long and
truly eloquent speech, in which he took ground
strongly in favor of the compromise bill. He
went over the whole ground, and maintained that
the Mi ssouri compromise involved a dangerous
delegation of power to Congress—that the com
promise bill though, objectionable in many of its
details, surrendered no constitutional right of the
South, and would prove the best remedy for the
evils now- threatening the Union. He placed the
Texan boundary and the admission of California
on grounds of expediency, declaring that though
the South h-d cause to complain, she w-ould not
be justified in dissolving the Union. He was for
the Union, and for maintaining his rights in the
Union. Above all, he was for union in the cause
of the South. He was as devoted to the rights of
the South as any man in her borders —all that was
valuable or dear to him, was at the South, for
whose rights he was ready w-hen necessity requi
red it, to sacrifice his property and bis life. He
differed with some of his fellow citizens as to the
proper steps to be taken— but if they could not
go with him, he would go with them. His speech
was listened to with profound attention through
out.
Dr. R. D. Arnold addressed the mooting brief
ly, it being too late [near 12 o’clock] to reply at
length to the arguments of Judge Law. Dr. A.
in a desultory but effective manner, alluded to the
principal argument on the other side, and conclu
ded by calling on the meeting to sustain the sub
stitute resolutions.
The question was then called for.
Col. Drisdale called the attention of the meet
ing in a few’ remarks to some resolutions which
he desired to offer, but being decided out of
order, he withdrew the resolutions.
The question now being loudly called for a di
vision was ordered, when, without a count, the
chair declared the substitute carried, an overwhcl
ming majority voting for the sobsti lute.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to
the Frcsident and Secretary for the able discharge
of their respective duties.
It was also resolved that the proceedings of the
meeting be published in extenso in the papers of
the city-
After which the meeting adjourned in the ut
most harmony and good feeling.

THIS Preparation is a highly Concentrated |
Extract, containing all the Active Medicinal !
Properties of the Conyza, (commonly known
as Black Root,) and the Stillingia, or Queen's
Delight.
These Plants have long since been used among
our Southern Negroes and in empyrical practice,
with the happiest results, in cases of Chronic
Rheumatism, Ulcers of long standing, and Sec
ondary Syphilis. It is much superior to any pre
parations of Sarsaparilla as an alterative, being
more active and prompt in its operation on the
system. These facts have induced the subscri
bers to present to the attention of Physicians a
preparation prepared according to strict Chemi
cal and Parmaceutical science, devoid of all
the feculent and inert parts of the root, not doubt
ing that it will supercede the unscientific and
crude preparations hitherto used.
