It seems to have drooped the whole sub ject with as much suddenness as it sprung up. The treasurer of the Hamilton powder, company defaulted a fewdays ago. As he already lived in Canada, there was nowhere to run away to and he had no resource except suicide. This shows that Canada isa very poor place tolive in, when a man slips there there is no place of refuge for him.

Against Senator Colquitt. There is a movement being made in Atlanta, to get up an opposition to Senator Colquitt's re-election to the U. S. Senate, and it is intimated that tho Hon. Henry R. Jackson will be the opposing candidate. The specific objections to Senator Colquitt, as set forth in the Constitution, is his op position to tlie repeal of tlie Internal Revenue law. It it true allusion is made to the tax on currency, but we doubt not the main objection is the Senator’s views on tlie question of the repeal of the Internal Revenue. Ab our readers are well aware there is an annual receipt by the Govern ment of one hundred millions of dol lars, in excess of tlie amount necessa ry to meet the expenses of an econom ical administration of tlie Govern ment. Tlie repeal of the Internal Revenue bill would remove that ex cess, but it would leave the Constitu tion’s darling protective tariff in force, which, uuiiecessarily taxes the people one tliousum] millions of dol lars nnd more, annually, to go into the coffers—the pockets—of the man ufacturers. We have often shown the iniquity, the gross unconstitution- ality of a protective tariff, and need not, now, for the purpose in view, en ter Into a detailed exhibition of the figures at hand to prove it. Senator Colquitt is the representa tive in his high station of the people of the state of Georgia. He believes they ure unconstitutionally and cru elly taxed, annually, many millions of dollars for the special benefit of the manufacturers. We believe that the taxation, of the people of Georgia amounts, annually, to a sum not less than fifteen millions of dollars. Not a dollai is provided for them by that tariff except for those who are engag ed in the business of manufacturing, and it oppresses, heavily, the opera- tives in the factories. We have often asked tlie advocates of tho protective tariff to show how the farmers of Georgia were benefitted to the amount of a dollar by tlie protective tariff. The protectionists say it gives the farmer a* home market for tlie pro ducts of his farm, for his chickens, eggs, pigs, blackberries and other small matters, but how ridiculous is this argument. If there is any merit in it only a few could enjoy it. Tlie price of wheat, cotton and corn, is fixed at Liverpool and not at the fac tories. If tlie farmer can sell, at a few Blftces, where factories are estab lished, a few eggs, chickens, <fcc., the advantage amounts to nothing when he hus to pay the enhanced prices for factory goods caused by the high tar iff. This pig, chicken and egg argu ment is the poorest invention that the devil, who drawB the protectionists lias ever put into their heads, but 'in using it, they never tell the chicken- men how lie is used up by tlie ad vance in tiie cloth lie wants to make a coat or u shirt for his child. Senator Colquitt is patriotically right. He wants tlie reduction in tlie governmeut^ceipts.made in reducing tlie price of clothing, of all tlie im plements of husbandry, of medicines, the prices of which bear so heavily upon the poor, upon liats, shoes and blankets, upon iron, steel, paints and colors, molasses, sugar and suit, and a thousand other articles of common and necessary use, and in reducing the tariff, he wants tlie discrimina tions made in favor of tlie ricli and against tlie poor, swept forever from the statute books of the United States. Tlie Constitution may indulge it self as much as it pleases on its high tariff fiddle, but. it will never excite a chord of responsive sentiment among tlie great masses of the people, in its assaults upon the people’s stern and unflinching friend, Senator Af- freil H. Colquitt. We have seen that the Macon Telegraph, of long stand ing and ably edited, was so shocked and discomfited by its advocacy of the protective tariff as to make it necessary or prudent to abandon tlie field of its action. It was sold and is now an advocate of a moderate anil constitutional rev enue measure. This has occurred un der the constant and fulsome declara tion, that tlie doctrine of protection was rapidly supplanting t lie old demo cratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue only. There is nothing, in mental force or political frenzy, that can in duce tiie democratic party in Georgia to disregard the halo thrown around tlie democratic banner on this subject in the glorious past. It stood firm when begirt with former foes, nnd stands as firmly, now, a colossus of power as it did in the days of Craw ford, Forsyth, Lumpkin, McDonald, and otliets, in earlier days. Indeed, all parties, in Georgia, however they may have differed on other questions, moved in giant unanimity, in those times, against the robbing tariff, and, at this time, all Democrats and Whigs united in one great party, throw up a banner, floating in our blue skies un der a southern sun, upon which is in scribed: “Freedom, equal rights and a revenue tariff.” The same mines, of thought; the same noble principles of liberty and justice that prevailed then are maintained now, under a revolutionary change, with unabated fortitude cemented with the blood of heroes. It is well to remember that there are times to banish frauds and heal with justice as far as possible tlie wounds of Fate. 3, ' * * * * Organic weakness or loss of power in either sex, however induced, and permanently cured. En- Fnr tin* I'nlim Heconlrr. Pencillings from my Perch. By Mr. 1’icklk. RICH IlKMir NKGRO MINSTKKLS I8CKNCK. No. 7. The first negro minstiels of the sen- son are now doing the principal cities of Georgia, and have attracted, (as that class of caterers for the public amusement at tlie South ever lias done, and ever will do, as long as the negro has a local habitation and a name,) largo audiences, anil that re minds me of tho first appearance in Milledgeville of the first negro min strel company ever organized in the United States, and though it has had hundreds of successors and imitators since, it has never had an equal in this country as true delineators of the negro character and their songs and music. Luke West was the “Bones” at one end, and Frank Germon the tamboriuist at tlie other. As the Leg islature was in session the old wooden theatre, located on tlie bill opposite Mr. W. J. Brake’s residence, was crowded from the lloor to the shin gles. I don’t think there was a negro in tho house outside of attendants be- hiud the scenes. It was in November, 1841 or ’42, if my memory serves me correctly. Tlie company stayed here four or five nights, and every night the theatre was full to suffocation. The company had no printed programmes, so no one present knew or had any in timation of what would besungorsuiil at any of tlie performances. In this community, and present at tlie first night’s exhibition, lived a man high in social circles, tlie owner of hun dreds of negroes, and withal gener ous, jovial anil as fond of fun as a boy ten years old. His name was Daniel R. Tucker, but known then and to hundreds now alive here, and else where, as Old Dan Tucker. Scarcely any one outside of liis near neighbors at the show knew 'that Mr. Tucker was in tlie house. I was there and sat near him. About the third fourth song tlie minstrels struck up that famous negro song, “Old Dan Tucker,” tlie first time it hud ever been heard in Milledgeville, and was new to every one in tlie audience. At tlie end of tlie first chorus there was such a scene as was never enacted at a public show. Nearly tlie whole “house” rose as one man, shouted, clupped their hands, hollered, so to speak, threw up their hats, beat tlie floor, laughed in a reckless roar, and completely silenced the performers for at least five minutes. The minstrels were utterly dumbfounded; they couldn’t imagine tlie cause of the up roar. When quiet was at last re stored, n prominent citizen arose and briefly explained to tlie manager the cause of tlie great, hilarity. Then there was another shout: “go on, go on; give us more,” etc., heard from a hundred voices. The song was finish ed and all was happy and serene, Mr. Tucker the happiest of all, who was heard to say “lie wouldn’t have missed that show for tlie best nigger on his plantation,” Tiie next day tlie miiiHtrels and “Old Dan Tucker” were tlie talk of the town, and Mr. Tucker was joked and teased as no man ever was before about a song. Prominent among those wiio took greatest pleasure in running Mr. Tucker about the song was a leading citizen by the name of John Brown, who loved a good tiling when somebody other than himself was tlie butt of the joke. He was present tlie first night and loudest of alt tlie claquers, and went again the next night, expecting to hear “Old Dun Tucker” repeated. Tlie lioiise'was jammed to the walls and ceiling. After one or two songs, tlie minstrels struck up another entirely new song to tlie audience; it ran thus in tlie chorus: ‘'It'll iiHiilter ilo to glh It up 60, It’ll nehoi-r ilo to gib It up so, PI I nebber do to gib I tup so, John Brown, It’ll nebber do to gib it up so." Then there was a repetition of tlie scene tiie night previous, only intensi fied, and minutes passed before tlie minstrels could go on, or understand what tiie fuss was about. Again tlie cause of tlie great hubbub whh ex plained to tlie minstrels and it was their time to laugh. Hardly a man in the quarter circle of twelve could keep his face in a shape to “succeed to de performance” for u long time. No man enjoyed tlie fun more tliun Dan iel Tucker, und no one less than Col. Johri Brown, who, next day, could not be found, after a most vigorous search. Botli these good citizens have given their last smiles to friends this side of the grave many years ago, but the scenes I have tried to draw truthfully are as fresh to memory’s eye as on the days they filled me with joy when I was hut a little boy.

World’s Dispensary Med- and especially beneficial to the Sick, 18 lm par leal Association, Buffalo, N. Y. The Georgia Senatorship- Courier-Journal (Editorial.) The intelligence comes from Geor gia that tlie syndicates which, by ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, have, at the expense of the farmer, been laying up wealth, are determined, if possible, to defeat Sen ator Colquitt when lie stands for re- election. Tlie only objection made to Senator Colquitt, is, as we under stand, that lie is an enemy of the in famous war tariff which is crushing the life out of tlie farmer. There has been growing in Georgia for some years a feeling of antago nism to the true spirit of Democracy, and this opposition is especially strong in dealing with tlie tariff. Its bounties have only been one form, in which peculiar benefits have come to privileged classes, but these bounties iiave been taken from that class ir* the community which can least afford to meet the expense. If tiie farmers of Georgia are true to themselves they will make certain the return of Senator Colquitt, and the decision is with the farmers. His speech before tiie Farmers’ Conven tion at Atlanta a few weeks ago was an admirable presentation of the case of the farmers against the Govern ment, and taking this speech uslii* platform, Senator Colquitt can lekve his case with the people. The Courier-Journal knows m'uch of the corrupt methods which have become common in Georgia politics of late years; it kpows something of the power of money and of organization', > but all these ringN and cliques with their money anil their organizers are helpless when the people are aroused. Senator Colquitt cannot be used by these monopolists; he refuses to be their tool or to partake of their spoils. In his address he said he asked no special privileges for the farmer, but he did ask equal and exact justice. Continuing, he said: “But while the farmer bears his own burdens we have a right to de nounce ail attempts to handicap him by weights lie should not carry. The natural riskji of the farmers" calling are always grave enough, and emerg ing from these, no mairlias the right to say that he must assume burdens and pay a tribute to help out tiie profits of other business ventures. What would he tiie verdict on your • conduct if as cotton producers you were to demand of the Government a cash bounty paid at tlie counter of tlie National Treasury to make good your losses oil crops sold for eight cents that cost you nine? After an infinite deal of circumlocution and brazen argument, tlie protection giv en to others and denied to you amounts to about this. All, it is said you would have this bounty if it were possible to give it to you. Why not possible? If no man’s corn, wheat or cotton can be brought here to cut your profits, und under our system of revenue we can’t save you from loss, why not try the bounty? Cotton must be had as well as iron uud cloth, and by what right do these wiio use cotton say .that we must produce it at a loss? Mr. Sherman cut this knot in his celebrated sop offered to the sugar producer, und while men stand astouuded at a proposition so mon strous. his plan proves that the wit of man hus conceived a scheme by the agriculturist, ufay be indemnilied against loss while feeding and cloth ing tlie world. I am pr ml to know .that if you cannot have protection from tlie government, you would not have if you could. You are no in fants, nor ilo you follow an infant in dustry, nor do you proclaim to the world that you cannot make a living for yourselves without cutting slices from that of other people.” This is the voice of tlie self-reliant, the independent farmer, who lias no favors to usk, and, in politics, when the creatures of monopoly attempt to mislead him, this same "farmer Hays, too, we have no favors togive. Sena tor Colquitt pleads not for free whis- - key, but for lower taxes on salt, cloth ing, iron, steel and tlie essentials of life. He said: “A general average tax of 46,07 per cent, now raising one hundred milions annually more tnan we have any call for, is a bitter reproach to our wisdom and our justice. Though the farmers in perhaps tlie whole South make 75 per cent of tlie Union raise eighty one- hundredths (80-100) of tlie exports of the country, not one nickel of the hundreds of millions that protection puts into tlie pockets of tlie manufac turers is passed to the farmers, if you except tlie pittance give to rice and sugar. Hard pressed as you are, fall ing in nrreaVs as so many are, who follow tillage, how would your hearts leap with joy to know that 35£ per cent of your taxes were taken off? Shall this burden be kept on salt, on clothing, on iron and steel, on more than 1(W0 essentials, of life, that we may tell our families, our sons and brothers and fathers, that at last we give them free wiskey? I have no earthly doubt that the Govrnment of the United States this day would be really better off by lifting eighty or more millions of tax which enters into every earthly thing that goes to the support of a family. The canker of tliis enormous pile of treasure, to which your drops of sweat have kept tally, is eating its way into the very soul of tlie Government.” The farmers of Georgia should re member tiiat it is for these words that Senator Colquitt is called to account by the Money Devils, who are seeking to bind the State of Georgia with fet ters whieh cannot be broke.
