The Appointment of Fillibusters to Office.
The blindness of the South to her true and highest
interests is a subject of profound astonishment ns well
as of deep regret and apprehension. An agricultural
community, she has had among hi r population a large
party which for years contended for high protective
duties on imports, by which she taxed her own indu*>
try to build up the North. In a minority in the On
ion. a majority of her people deny the right of State
interposition to arrest Federal aggression upon the
rights of the States and thereby confer an omnipotent
power of coercion upon the Northern majority and force
her own sons to aid in the degradation of the South at
the risk of being hung for traitors. But the most la
mentable instance of blindness on the part of her peo
ple to the true interests of the South ia afforded by the
history of the Slavery agitation. We have in the South
lour million of Africans, who are rend* red useful mem
bers of sciety only by the institution of slavery. This j
institution can only be preserved whre lands are cheap !
• ■ j
and the returns of labor are very great. It has given I
way in every State in the Union where the popu ation
is dense and competition is cons, qm ntly great in all
the branches of manual labor. In the States in w hich
it now exists, it is strongest where population is spar
sest, and weakest where population is densest. In
Virginia, Mar) land, Kentucky and Missouri, a propo
sition to emancipate the blacks would command a large
vote, while in the more Southern States, the ma t w’ho
should breathe such a thought would be lynched as an
incendiary. It is moreover a well settled fact, that the
institution has been preserved in the border states only
by ihe acquisition of new territory ; and that so soon an
the demand for tlieir surplus slave tabor shall cease in
the South west, the institution will cease to exist in
Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky. It is therefore ap
parent that the extension of slave holding territory is ..n
absolute nt c esity to the continuance of slavery. Aa
soon as the institution is circumscribed it must in a
few \ears die. This will result from increase of
population atone, without reference to the thousand oth
er causes which will undeimino it under such circum
stances. It is therefore the imperative duty of every
Southern patriot to watch with an anxious eye every
opportunity to increase the area on which the institu
tion can be planted.
That this is true, the Abolitionist* of the North and
the far seeing statesmen of Europe afford the stron
gest proof, by the untiring zeal with which they strive
to eiicumscribe slavery within its present limits. In
the United Stan s their efforts have been directed to the
enforcement of the YYilmot Proviso, by which slavery :
was si.ught to be excluded from the New Territories!
and a cordon of free States established round the insii j
tution. so that its extension would be forever prevented, I
and its final dtstraction rendered certain. In Europe, i
the enemies of >ur count! y have watched with a jealous !
eye every advance of our taghs. and threatened us with
the horrors of war if we dare to hug to our bosoms the
Queen of tlu* Antilles; such threats we can afford to
despise. But there is a policy more insidious and fatal
which threatens us. England has abolished slavery in
the W**t Indies ; St. D mingo is s. cured to the ne- j
gm King. Solouque ; and no pains will be spared to !
raise up a powerful negro Kingdom in the Island of
Cuba. The ol jeet of this policy is to excite insurrec
tion among our slave population by establishing ne
gro Kingdoms upon our borders, and to prevent the
extension of slave territory.
This policy is se< nby Mr. Pierce, Mr. Davis and ;
Mr. Soule, and. like far seeing statesmen and true pat
riots, they are bending the whole energies of their great .
minds, and the whole power of this Government, to pie- ;
vent it, by the acquisition of Cuba and other territory
adjaci nt to our Southern border, before England and
the Abolitionists shall have converted them into Pande
moniums by the lib* ration of the blacks. And because
tin y are ngaged in this good w ork they are uenounc* j
ed Fillibusters; and the whole vocabulary of abuse
is exhausted to blacken the character of the incompara
ble S< ule. He is represented as a Red Republican
Frenchman, who respects neither God nor man, and
Spain is advistd to reject him as the Minister of the j
United States to her imbecile and corrupt court. This
denunciation is not confined to th# North—its loudest
Mr peels from the extreme South.
We v rily believe, that Dix and Van Boren are
greater favorite* with the Conservative party of Geor
gia than are Soule, Quitman and Davis —men whose
only sin is a capacity to perceive the true interests of
the South, and the nerve to insist upon them a any per- j
sonal hazard. And this is the great sin of the Whig j
party. It depreciates our greati st and truest men ; [
it eulogises our most insidious enemies. During the
long and eventful career of Mr. Calhoun, it pursued
1 im with the ferocity of the blood hound; undervalued
his talents, impugned his motives, opposed his policy,
and brought his gtey hairs with sorrow to the grave; j
and no sooner had the green grass waved over his head, I
than they discovered that his work on Government,
in which is embodied all his peculiar political doctrines,
was the greatest production of the human mind, from
Aristotle to Lticke— (see Mr- Stephens’ speech at
Oxford last year)—while on the other hand, such men
a* U Eik-TBK and Fulmcrs, who are little better than
Abolitionists, are held up as spotless patriots and the
only true ex|tounders of the Constitution. Will the
South never learn wisdom ? will she always distrust
lor true friends, and offer tuisoine gdulaliou to her bit
terest enenihs? will she doubt the soundtn ss of
Fiehcr, b< cause he giv.s oftice to her truest sons;
aud trust tiLLMoRE, b. cause Webter and Corwin
were in his cabinet, and Joseph R. Ingerrull was his
Minister U Engl nd ?

Georgia Politics and Politician!.
There is a facility of change peculiar to Georgia poll- j
ticiarn*. Brown went into a Democratic convention as
a professed Democrat and submitted bis claims for the i
nomination for the high and responsible office of Judge ; ‘
was defeated by Lvon, and straight way discovers that
the Democracy are u set of destructives, and that his s
old enemies, the Whigs, cherish conservative principle* j
w hich alone cun save the Union of the States and the lib
erties of the people. Murphy, a man who had been hon
ored by the people of Georgia with a seat in Congress,
i submits his claims to a Democratic convention, after
Hkrfchel V. Johnson was nominated for Governor
; and the platform of the party was erected, is defeated
by Dent, and he follows the lead of his illustrious prede
c-Rssor, Brown,and huzzahs for Jenkins and the Con
servative party, and comes out as their candidate for
Congress. And just the other day Gen. A. K. Pat
ton, a fire-eating Democrat from South Carolina and a
Mump orator for Pierce, in consequence of a similar de
feat by Chastain, renounces his allegiance to the Demo
cratic party aud sets himself up as a candidate for Cou*
gress under the Jenkins banner.
Now all these men must have either been Whigs or
Democrats at the time they went before the conven
tions as candidates for responsible office at their hands.
; If they were Whigs thev were guilty of the grossest
! hypocrisy in attempting to secure nominations as Deroe
• erats. If they were Democrats, then they are Demo
crats now, for there is nothing in a defeat before a nom
inating convention, which changes the principles of
parties, and they are now guilty of the most shameless
i deception in trying to get the votes of the opposition by
pretending to have embraced their political creed.
! We are absolutely amazed at their effrontery. They
| seem to think politics is a mere game at which every
act is lawful which ensures victory. It cannot be possi
ble that the freeire nos Georgia will give their vote* to
th< ee political hucksters. Yet the fault is evidently
wiih the people. These politicians are eertainly con
vinced that the people will not condemn their tergiver
sations, or tluy would not perpetrate them in the face
of high heaven, and then go before their fellow citizen*
and solicit their votes. The p opie, therefore, owe it to
their own dignity to place the mark of their condemn**
; tion upon their fort heads for this wicked attempt to
| trifle with their intelligence and insult their moral sense.
r There is a public virtue not ie.se dear to a true man than
private charact* r ; and a public fa th not less sacred
than private confidence. How, indeed, can our Gov
ernment be conducted if public men are allowed to put
on and takeoff their politic.! principles like charlatans
do their disguises ? When a man presents himself before
the people 9 a Democrat ha is bound in honor to be
lieve the erecd of the Democratic party ; and so be
lieving it is impossible for him to change his principles
and associations merely because he is defeated for a
nomination. The idea is preposterous. If politicians
are allowed to change their principles at will, the pro
fession of statesmanship will become a farce and no
honest man can take part in it—and the government
: will devolve on knaves and rascals—and the dearest
j rights of fret men be bartered for place or gold.
If this language is harsh it is justified by the occa
sion. Endowed by nature with kindly affections, we i
| much prefer eulogy to condemnation. But where poli
ticians ruthlessly shock our sensibilities by th. ir greed
for station we must either keep silence or scathe them
with denunciation. Evidently the times are out of
joint. Money, station, revenge—these are tha mov
ing motives of our politicians. How different from
the preceding age, when self was hist in love of country,
a good name and a useful life were preferred to popular
applause, and men sought after wisdom more than hidden
treasure ! Will this golden age never return 1 We
fear not. In seeking for candidates for office men do
not enquire for attainments, virtues and public services.
Is he popular, has he got money, will he spend it free
ly t If he hua, he is chosen, though he may be a dolt and
a vagabond. 8o long as the higher moral qualities
constitute a disqualification for office, so long will parties
be cursed with incompetent and unfaithful men. Let it
never be forgotten that ihe election of a fool ora knave
is a defeat, nr. matter how great hia majority. True,
your destructive party principles may be carried out by
such creatures, but the gn at principles which lie at the j
foundation of ai! good government and refined society i
are trampled in the dust. You achieve a political vie- ;
tory at the price of a moral dofeat. If wo can’t have j
both victorious, we prefer to be conquered.

Railroad from Coiuinbu* to Grantsville.
The citizen* us Meriwether and Harris counties are en
gaged in the very laudable effort to built a Railroad from I
Grantsvilh to passing through Greenville. .
Grantsville is on the Lagrange road, 10 mik-s v.-nst j
of Newman. It is understood that Harris county will !
extend the road to the Muscogee Sine, if assurances ace !
given that we will continue it to Columbus, a distance of j
only 10 or 11 mile*. This is a direct road from this j
city to Atlanta, and besides opening up a corn mu idea- j
iion for us via the Mineral Springs of Meriwether, to 1
the rich valleys of Tennessee, will make Columbus the j
Grocery market for all upper Georgia. The road is
only 60 miles long, ruria in a nearly straight line to Allah i
ta, brings us in connection with Hamilton and Green ]
ville, and promises as large an increase of trade to our
city as any other, and ea:i be built witn a very small ■
expenditure of money on our part. Public attention I
has not heretofore been din otly called to this enter- I
prise. We are sure that Columbus will do her part in i
the w’ork. Let our friends in Harris aud Meriwether J
continue their laudable endeavors, and we pledge the i
city of Columbus to the completion of the road from I
the Harris line to this place. We especially call the
attention .f our public spirited oitizens to these -s- j
tion*, and solicit contributions to our columns on the
subject.

Their name ia Legion.
The Whigs of Georgia have at last found a name that
exactly suit* them. The discovery was first made by the
Columbus Euquiier. If we must tel! our name, pays he
Enquirer . li re it i a: “Our name is Legion The
S.j hern Recorder and several oth. r Whig papers an
swer in response, our name is Legion , and our name is Lk
i gion is echoed from one end of Georgia to the other. We
have for sometime had strong suspicions of the origin of
the present Yv hig party. We knew that for some reas n
or other, the\ were ashamed of their ancestors and their
name. But now since they have openly proclaimed their
origin, we hope hereafter they will not deny their rej *
| tion*. Those who are anxious to know the early history
j of the party, and the character of their ancestors, wili find
1 a very graphic and concise account of both, in the sth
chap, of Mark, and in the Srli chap, of Luke. It will
there be seen, that “Legion” was the name of a
very numerous and a very tnisohh vous party of devils
thst infested “the country of the Gadarenes which s over
against Galilee.” It it* strange how long certain traits of
character will run in families. Eighteen hundred years
ago the party called Legion , w 2 in many respects very
much like their descendants of the present day. Those
unf< etuna'e men who were formerly under the influence
of this party, left the company of sane men, and delighted
to hang about the Toombs. Sometimes they became in
; sane, and frothed at the mouth, and exposed themselves
in a very rid.culnua manner.
Those who were at the last Whig Convention must
have seen things very similar. We might trace the re
semblance much farther ; but we think we have already
shown such a striking similarity between the ancient and
j modern party, that every one will recognize the relation
: ship. We will only add at this time, that the party called
Legion ruined every man that remained under their con
| trol; even the hogs could not long survive their alliance,
. and in a fit of despair drowned themselves in the Sea
| rather than endure their society.— Fed. Union.

Decline and Fall of the Uncle Tom Mania.
The Tragical History and Lamentable End
! of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, wherein is ae
ornately reported the effect produced by a great
book ot lies, the circulation ofan infamous shut- ;
j der, the notorious progress of the author thereof,
| and her conjugal appendage through Scotland
! and England, the grand festival at Stafford
i House atid the gathering of toadies, the sudden
extinction of hypocrisy and imposture, and the
’ instantaneous disappearance of the charlatan in
tiie goodly city of Paris—may now be writ- j
i ten.
We give in another column, from the New j
York Herald, an account of the close of Mrs. |
Stowe’s triumphs, and the conclusion of the |
Uncle'Pom fever. The distemper has run its ;
course, and has at length been brought to an in- j
glorious end. The bitter and malevolent at* !
tack on the institutions of the South has failed j
to produce the effect designed and anticipated,!
and Mrs. Stowe sinks into obscurity like an ex- !
! tinguisbed meteor, leaving behind her a most;
[ offensive odor of brimstone.
! The wonderful but transient success of Un* !
cle ‘Pom was due to a concurrence of influences
1 wholly foreign to any skill or ability displayed
!in the book. It ministered to all tiie popular
[prejudices adverse to the South ; it furnished
I food and confirmation for all the Intemperate
j and ignorant declamation indulged bv British :
! penny-a-liners against this country ; it addies
| sed itself to the political struggles in the United
[ States and to the revolutionary agitation in the
old world.
To one class it supplied topics of party war
fare, and furnished the prestige of literaiy dis- [
tinctinn ; to another it afforded anew channel i
for the diffusion of Pharisaic morality and saucti
monious hypocrisy; to the large body of;
British politicians, it gave point and pupose for
the jealous attack on the sources of American
I prosperity—the great cotton interest of the South
I -—and to the immense masses of European read
ers it spoke the iatiguage of feeiings slumbering
j in their hearts, which was not misunderstood be
| cause uttered by fictitious Africans. Indeed
j the story of social and political oppression, !
i which was only a distempered and exaggerated
; view ofan imaginary condition of the negroes in I
j Uncle Tom’s Cabin, acquired a truth and signi*
! ficance which were wanting originally when
translated in the language of their own feelings,
I and applied to themselves by the laboring mul
; titudes of Europe. The atrocious tale of sic
tion was welcomed by virtue of the phylactery j
which every ono instinctively felt to be appro
priate to it.
Mutato noastne de is fabula narratur.
| The success and popularity of the work
abroad reacted on this country, when its original
success had been due to the abolition fury
[ which was revived in the last Presidential cam
paign. The double success in England and
America excited the curiosity of other nations,
I and met with equal or even greather sympathy
; there, because it clothed with expression feelings
more deeply outraged by existing opw-ession,
; and more completely denied all
|si on. Thus the fictitious
[ cial inequality acquired a factitious
and importance, aud Mrs. Stowe
den eminence, as miracuiou3 and as
as the Jack’s celebrated bean stalk.
The wretched desire of an unseemly notorie- j
fcy seized upon the Duchess of Sutherland and 1
the multitude of ignorant and miserable toadies,
w’ho were anxious to push themselves into notice
under any pretext, and were most happy to
have the chance of doing so under the magical
influence of a ducal coronet. Ttie whole of j
Great BriUin nearly yi< 1 led to the fascinating
influence, and uttered deunciatious of the South
proportionate in virulence and violence to the
! entire ignorance of the subject discussed. Mrs.
| Stowe passed in triumphal progress from Liver
i pool a'*d Glasgiow to London and the saloons
jof Stafford House. She was patronized bv the
Duchess of Sutherland—the wealthiest and most
• oppressive of all the peerage of the Umpire—and
j by her brother, the Earl of Carlisle, who knew
| better, but had already eaten his own previous
j declarations. She was lionized at Exeter Hall,
and appeared to grasp at an independent power
| among all civilized nations.
y Happily and singularly enough, considering
the long unpopularity of the South and South
j ern institutions, every where beyond the iimits
| of the Southern States, the great public journals
i of nearly every country, boldly and strenuously j
l opposed the spread of the dangerous fanaticism, j
j and censured the heady current of the popular
delusion. At the North, in London, in Paris, in
Germany, the strength, though not the nu nb.-rs
: ol’tl e press was an ay ed on the sided the South, j
though never doing fui! justice to its cause. It i
j was very remarkable that Ireland never jdneu j
to any gieat extent in tiie ovation to Mrs. Stowe,
or in the laudation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. D..
Cahill, indeed,and many other eminent Roman
Catholic divines, i©probated the movement witu
tlaquent scorn. And in the same split the
Pop© presented the first instance of a foreign
power distinctly discountenancing the popular
frenzy on the uhject. The translation, pu Ll ica
lion and circulation of the book were foibidd
at Rome; it was proh bited and placed upon V)
calender of condemned books, where U!
tunately it was inti oduced into better company
than it had been in the habit of keep mr
Next to this Papal censure came The refusal
of Queen Victoria to receive Mrs. Stowe or j r
mit her to bo presented at Court. Considering
that she was chaperoned by the Duchess u\
Sutherland, and backed by half the wealth, ts,
aristocracy, and mo le than half the numbers of
England, this action must be regarded as an
eminently bold and decisive stroke of policy—
Perhaps it may be referred to the counsels of
her Cabinet, and considered as a measure of
State : perhaps it may have been suggested by
: the practical good sense of Prince Albert ; peg.
sibly it may have been due to the Queen’s own
judgment—for she has a strong will of her own
—and she must have had a more accurate ac
quaintance with the character of the United
States than the ladies and gentlemen of her
Court,through her uncle William IV. and her
father, the Duke of Kent; both of whom had
personally observed the social condition of the
United States, and were favorably inclined to
it : or, perhaps, she may have been unwilling to
descend to such a vulgar employment as co
operating with hypocrites—flaunting Duchesses
and toadies; in magnifying a coarse-minded and
intemperate woman into the prodigy of the
world. From whatever ettuse her action might
have originated, the refusal of the Queen to ie
; ceive Mrs. Stowe produced the immediate ces
sation of all her notoriety. The Duchesses
dropped her—Professor Stowe and his essay on
cotton were forgotton—the illustrious ladv slunk
osT obscurely into France, where she might think
tilings were ordered better ; but there she was
denied ail triumph by the ruthless despotism of
Louis Napoleon. She is dead—gone—buried
—forgotten : her fame is ended : her book will
soon tie sought only by curious bibliomaniacs,
not for its own merits, but for the stiange
story of immoderate fame and sudden eclipse
wit.i which it is connected; and before long the
! South will be mote charitably ronstiued, and
| slavery more justly appreciated, than either
I have ever been hitherto. For this beneficial
| change we shall he in some measure indebted
| to Pio Noiio, Queen Victoria and Louis Na
; poleon—a strange conjunction, which is render
| ed still stranger by the addition of Mrs. Stowe.

so many undeniable proofs of the efficacy of Holloway’s
Pills in the cures of diseases of the Ciiest. arising eitlur
from old coughs, recent colds, whetz ngs or shortness of

from such complaiuts, should hive immediate recourse
