A True and Noble Patriot.
It is a matter of enthusiastic pride with all
good men, and lovers of law and order every
where, to witness the ferocious assaults made
by the Forthern Free Soil and Whig press upon
Judge Grier for his firmness m maintaining the
Fugitive Slave Law and the Constitution, and
in thereby 7 “crushing out abolitionism” in Mr.
Cushing’s emphatic language. The abolition
ists take every means to harrass him in the
discharge of his duty. As the Pennsylvanian
says (and his antecedents prove that Franklin
Pierce does occupy the same position) “there is
one man in Pennsylvania who has seen the ex
tent to which these Abolitionists are read}’ to go
and who has the nerve and power to check them.
That man is Robt. C. Grier, Justice of the Su
preme Court of the U. S., for the Circuit com
posed of the States of New Jersey and Penn
sylvania. He is a native of Pennsylvania and
of the race of Scotch Irish—a Jurist with a
judgment as clear as light in his high office—
with a heaat as pure as that of a child—pos
sessing a massive mind, and abundantly quali
fied for the first court in the land, by a long and
distinguished experience at the bar and on the
bench. Justice Grier is a humane man —there
is not one inure generous or benevolent in our
broad Commonwealth. But his humanity as a
Justice, begins with his sacred duties to the law
and the Constitution. His humanity as a citi
zen is most inspired when he sees that law tram
pled under foot, and (hat Constitution mutilated
‘Pliose who are so lavish of their sympathy for
the negro rarely have any for the white. Those
who are so anxious to arouse foreign commise
ration, rarely think of domestic duties. Those
who seek to destroy the Fugitive Slave Law,
care little for the Constitution ; indeed they
labor to annihilate both at one blow. Robert
C. Grier is not a man of that sort.
“Hence, when Justice Grier was called upon
to decide the habeas corpus in the case of the
U. S. officers, who were sought to be carried
to Wilkesbarre, to be tried under a State law
for doing their duty under the laws of the Uni
ted States, he promptly and indignatly set them
free ; and before doing so, avowed in the most
emphatic language, his determination to put a
stop to all these disgraceful attempts to set the
Constitution of the United States at defiance.
He told the Abolitionists, and their confederates
and counsel, that he understood their designs
and that he would check them at every risk—
that the laws were paramount—that they should
not be nullified by the foes of the Union—and
that those who expected to intimidate or to de
ceive him by their threats or their tricks would
be bitterly mistaken. Such is the substance of
the terrible rebuke which this fearless Judge
pronounced before the combined enemies of
our. tree institutions, a few weeks ago, in
Philadelphia.
“And now we have a cry for the impeach
ment of Judge Grier, because he dared, in plain
and unadorned Saxon, io announce his deter
mination for the future. Who are they who in
sinuate his alternative ? Men who to-morrow,
would herd with the public foe against ther own
country—men who regard the Constitution of
the United States as a compact with the devil
men, many of whom ridicule the eternal God—
men, who regard Washington and Jefferson as
damned beyond redemption, because, during
their lives they held slaves in Virginia. These
are among the incendiaries who applaud the
hysterical tears of the English ladies, who wor
ship Mrs. Stowe as an incarnation of piety, and
who regard every American who thinks the
Southern States the political equal of the North
as an enemy of Human Freedom. Judge Grier,
ought to thank them for their abuse.
“Citizens of the South! Here is a picture of
the progress of agitation in the North. Here is
an instance, also of unselfish devotion to the
rights secured to you by the constitution. The
contrast is eloquent and will suggest many valu
able reflections.’’— Richmond Enquirer.
The Victories of the Democracy.
The success of the Administration has been
brilliant beyond example in our politics; and
those who have represented the President to
have lost ground have been refuted by every el
ection that has taken place since the inaugura
tion, This succession of victories, too has
been achieved after the policy of the administra
tion had been exemplified in action. The Pres
ident simply . recognised the democratic party
a3 re-united on its old foundation—on those old
State rights and Union principles, a rigid adher
ence to wliich has maintained the democracy as
a party and preserved the integrity of the nation.
He has planted himself on the compromise plat
form. He has followed the frank declaration
of the inaugural with an energetic execution of
the laws, and carried out in his appointments
the policy of conciliation that was laid down by
the democratic party at Baltimore. The con
sequence is peace and harmony to all sections
of the Uuion and victories every where for the
democracy; thus exemplifiing the old maxim
that as federalism sinks the country rises.
The success of the democracy should cheer
every true friend of republican progress. The
administration stand firmer in the support ot the
people now, than it did on the day of the deli
very of the inaugural. The elections show this.
One of the old whig States is Kentucky, but
when were the whigs so badly off’ as they are
now in that State, with one-half of the delega
tion to Congress democrats ? Tennessee, too,
has cut up the whig brigade terribly, by electing
Andrew Johnson governor by an unprecedented
majority, and a democratic majority of its de
legation in Congress. North Carolina has I
gained on her democratic delegation. We
name these States because they are emphatical- j
ly the strongholds of whiggery. If the ridicul- j
ous charge of affiliation with abolitionism does
not make capital for those who utter it in these }
States, when will it make capital ? If we go to
other States at the South, to Virginia, Alabama
and Texas, there are the same gratifying results.
Phe old Dominion leads oft* with an entire
democratic delegation to Congress. Alabama
has gained a democratic member—has a demo
cratic majority in her Legislature to elect two
United States Senators, and a democratic Gov
ernor. 1 exas has elected two democrats. To
crown all, as to the Southern elections, in the
niost important of all, where the Union whigs,
” ere confident of victory in Georgia, the demo
crats have made clean work by electing their
Governor, a majority of Congressmen and of
the Legislature. Then there is a gain of one
member in Arkansas. At the North, the elec
tion in Maine shows a democratic vote large
enough, when united, to overwhelm whigism.
In Vermont the democracy have made a splen
did gain. In Connecticut they have swept the
board in town elections. In the great States of
Pennsylvania and Ohio their majority is unpre
cedented. Such are the results in six months
of the trial of the policy of the administration.
When was such success seen before in the ca
reer of an administration ?
These brilliant triumphs should stimulate the
Democracy of this State to a zealous support ot
their ticket. They, too, stand on the same plat
form with their friends abroad. Their candi
dates give a cordial support to the Baltimore
creed, and as hearty a support to the Adminis
tration. Both are opposed to all coalition.—
Both, therefore, stand on national ground. In
Ohio, in Pennsylvania, everywhere, the Democ
racy have had to contend with all tactions, and
have beaten them all. So let it be in Massa
chusetts. There is no other true course to take
but to rally round Bishop and Dowly as the
candidates of the national Democracy. —Boston

COLUMBUS, GEORGIX
FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18.1853.
[editorial correspondence.]
Milledgeville, Nov. 12.
SENATE.
The different parts of the Governor’s Message, were
on motion of Mr. Cone, of Bullock, referred to appro
priate committees.
By concurrence of both houses, Friday has been
agreed upon, to go into the election of Senator of the
United States.
Mr. Baily, of Whitfield, introduced a bill to Incor
porate the Dalton and Gadsden Railroad, with a capitol
stock of six hundred thousand dollars.
A bill has been introduced into the Senate, to give
the election of Superintendent of the Western and At
lantic Railroad to the people.
Mr. Williamson, of Newton, introduced a bill to in
corporate the Covington and Eatontou Railroad, with
a capitol etock of six hundred thousand dollars. The
completion of this road will open a connection between
the Central and Georgia Railroads with termani at
Gordon and Covington.
On motion of Mr. Lambeth, of Floyd, the Senate
agreed to elect a State Printer on Thursday 17th, for
the next two years, the house concurring.
Mr. Collier, of DeKalb, has introduced a bill to
change the time of meeting of the General Assembly
to the 3d Wednesday in November.
Mr. Miller’s bill to change the constitution, so as to
fix the pay of members, and reduced it one half after
the expiration of 50 days, was taken up and discussed
by Messrs. Miller, Dunnegan, Sturgis, Cone, William
son and others, and passed by a vote of 75 to 20.
Many other bills of a local character were introduced
into the Senate.
Much anxiety is felt as to the result of the proposed
Senatorial caucus of the Democratic members of the
Legislature. Several members have intimated a deter
mination not to attend the caucus, and it may turn out
that no election will be had for this important office
this session. The Whigs are anxious to prevent an
election, and if they can muster a sufficient number of
disaffected Democrats, they will defer it to the next
session. This will give them another cjiance at the
office, and they confidently anticipate a triumph at the
next general election.
There is a very general feeling in favor of removing
the State House, and if the proposition is pressed, we
believe it could be carried. The accommodations here
are too limited for the members. From two to six are
crowded into the same room, and privacy is out of the
question, though the Hotel keepers do all they can to
make their guests agreeable. Milledgeville is a desolate
and stricken city. There is no sign of improvement in
any quarter, and the burnt district is a sad ruin.
The mail will shortly close, and this is my excuse for
deferring all notice of the proceedings of the House un
til my next. L-
Millcdgeville, Nov. 14.
SENATE,
Afternoon Session. —The Seuate commenced at
3 o’clock P. M. for the purpose of meeting the Seuatus
Aeademicus. A short time afterwards, President
Church accompanied by Messrs. H. V. Johnson, How
ell Cobb. Dr. Fort, Chas. Daugherty, C. J. McDonald,
Jno. R. Gilmer, R. D. Moore, A. H. Chappell, W, C.
Dawson, Win. C. Daugherty, Jno. M. Berrien and
Mr. Mercer, appeared in the Seuate chamber and were
received standing. Dr. Church and the Governor
proceeded to the Speakers stand, and the Governor
opened the session. Dr. Church read a very lucid dis
course upon the wants of the State College, and the
necessities of the people in respect to education,
which was referred to the eommitte on education. The
code for the government of the College was then taken
up and amended. Senators were called on for reports
upon the subject of education in the respective counties,
but no one was prepared with any, and the Senatus
Aeademicus adjourned.
Milledgeville, Nov. 15.
To-day having beeii agreed on for the election of two
Judges of the Supreme Court snd State House officers,
the Democratic members met in caucus last night and
nominated Starnes, of Augusta, and Benuing, of Co
lumbus, as the Democratic candidates for Judges,
and Watkins, of Henry, for Secretary of State, Trippe,
of Putnam, for Treasurer, Green, of Forsyth, for Sur
veyor General, and Candler, of Baldwin, for Comptroller
General,
SENATE.
A bill was introduced to incorporate a Railroad com
pany to extend the Rabun Gap Road through the State
of Georgia.
Mr. Ornie, of the Southern Recorder , presented,
through Mr. Miller, a memorial or petition, proposing
to do the printing in six weeks alter the adjournment
of the General Assembly, if the two Houses will elect
him Public Printer, aud urging as the reason, the delay
and incon venienoe which has always ensued when the
work has been done at a distance from the oapitol.
After the reoiption of a number of bills, the Senate
repaired to the House of Representatives to go into tk
elections set apart for to-day. The following is the
result:
Judge or Sufrkmk Court —\ acancy.
Starnes. 220 I Wellborn. 1
Cone. 1 I Nisbit. 1
Blank. 2
Judge op Supreme Court—t ell Perm.
Benning. 120 | Nisbit. 110
Blank. 2
While we rejoice io the election of our towusuiau to
a position he is so well qualified to adorn, we freely ac
cord to his competitor, very high qualifications for the
distinguished office he has so long and ably filled ; and
this we believe is the judgement of tlio country.
Comptroller General.
Candler. 193 J Blank.
Surveyor General.
Greene. 10G j Compton.
Blank. 2
Treasurer.
Tripps. 120 Mitchell. 107
Watkins. 1 Blank. 2
Secretary of State.
Watkins. 131 Barnett. 98
Mitchell. 1 Blank. 1
It will thus be seen, that all the nominations of the
party have been elected but Mr. Greene. Some per
sons apprehended that his defeat would be a fire-brand
in the Democratic ranks, but the column closed in good
order after this reverse and carried the two remaining
elections with ease. Mr. Compton has long held the
office to which he .has been re-elected.
The great battle is still to be fought over the Seua
torship. The success of caucus nominations has been,
so far, almost complete 5 but it is not yet known that
concord can be obtained in this election. If, however,
discord prevails in the party to the end, it is highly
probable that this election will be postponed until the
next session of the Legislature. L
A Floral Festival.
Since the Augusta Fair, we have noticed a great
many allusions to the very limited display of flowers
there exhibited, and also, some very commendatory
suggestions as to the means of arousing that interest of
flora culture which should belong so peculiarly to the
Southern people. We do not think that the State Fair
wasjexaetly the occasion for such a display. Hogs, mules,
horses, cotton gins, bed-quilts, &c., &0., gave Flora
but a poor opportunity to be appreciated—besides it was
not the propel* season to afford a very abundant display,
and no one felt mch interested, probably, save those
whose green-houes and parterres had received that at
tention which leisure and wealth ouly oan afford. The
spring is the season for flowers—when the woods are
green and leafy, when vines clamber up the sturdy
tree to exhibit their wealth of fragrance and beauty,
and shoot forth their myriad blossoms, fit nestling pla
ces for the thousand warblers to pour their flood of
song; all is then life, mirth and gaety. When the
gentle water lily rests its delicate head upon the
smooth surface of lake or brook, the honey suckle too
with its varied hues softening the broken uudulations
of hill and dale —the odorous sweet shrub, the hare
bell ,|the daisy, the thousand other wild flowers that genial
spring calls into life infuses throughout all natures bright
and buoyant spirits, almost clapping their rosy hands
and whispering in perfumed plaudits, the return anni
versary of Nature’s birth. This is the time for a Floral
display. There are none so riel) as to be able to dis
pense with such delights, none so poor but that they
can j revel in the most gorgeous chariot that Floral
wealth can construct.
But we did not commence this article to etherialise
among flowers, bo much as to call attention to sugges
tions that have been made for the holding, during the
spring months of next year, a series of flowery festivals
in the principal cities of Georgia, and extending, if conve
nient, and our neighbors will join us into South Caro
lina and Alabama. The Home. Gazette and the Soil
of the South have introduced the subject with such zeal
and interest, that we second with all our heart their
suggestions. Who will lead oft’ in this matter ? What
says Augusta, Savannah, Macon, Columbia S. C.,
Montgomery, Ala. ? We can speak confidently for
Columbus. The ladies of our city, we know will re
spond with that public spirit and appreciation of all that
is lovely and joyous, as well as useful, for which they
are so eminently distinguished. It is already time that
some steps were taken to bring about such offerings to
Pomona and Flora, as will be worthy of our clime, and
the refinement of our people. Let flowery holiday
be ushered in, and dancing youths and maidens greet
in laughing chor uses,jthe rich festive® of garlanded spring,
beneath the May pole’s shadow—and let the old be
young again amid merth and merriment. Why may
not suoli # festivals take place—years ago, in “Merrie
England,’’ the May pole was erected, and villages
flocked in hundreds to intertwine the rosy wreaths of
spring. What can can be more refining, more elevat
ing, more innocently joyous ? What do flowers not
teach—what lessons of goodness and mercy do they
not suggest —what emblems of innocence, beauty and
purity do they not present ?
“Your voiceless lips,o flowers, are living preachers,
Each cup a pulpit, and each leaf r book.”
Flowers are indeed the “bright stars of earth,” gems
that sparkle in the zenith, and deck the pathway of life—
they are beneath around and above us, smiling companions
wherever we go, that “give lessons to teach us how
to live.’’ Can leisure then not be afforded to give a
“triumph’’ to those gentle ministers of joy, love and
peace ?
Turkish Smoking Tobacco, —We have been polite
ly presented with some “real Turkish Smoking Tobac
oo, by Mr. George Clayton, from the extensive Familv
store of Mr. P. A. Clayton. This is none of the ground
Virgiuian, or even Mrs. G. B. Miller s moss Tobacco,
but the real orientia! “Simon Pure,’’ for which a Turk
might thank Allah. We also acknowledge the receipt
of two chi bouques, with cherry stems.
0“ Daniel S. Dickenson, has written a long letter
to Hon. Alex. C. Morton, of Geoagia, denouncing Free
Soilism most emphatically—gives the Washington
Union a side lunge, and expresses his gratification at
the sympothy and approbation with which his course
has been received by the Southern people.
He is by no means an admirer ot Mr. Marey pavs j
his respects in quite a severe manner to the Secretary j
of War, and concludes by saying, that the Democracy I
of the State of New York will “in season and out of !
season, support the principles of the general Admiuis- !
tration, so long as that Administration shall adhere fully 1
aud faithfully to those principles as iaid down by Jes- j
ferson and Jackson, endorsed by the last Democratic I
National Convention, and reiterated by Gen. Pierce in !

Maryland Elections. —The Baltimore Republican \
gives the following summary of the result of the Mary
land Election :
Although we have not the full returns of the differ
ent counties, yet we can thus far count up the result. —
We have elected —
A Democratic Governor 5
A Democratic Comptroller j
A Democratic Lottery Commissioner ;
Four Democratic Congressmen ;
Two Commissioners of Public Works ;
A Democratic Judge in this eity ; and
A Democratic Clerk of the Court;
We have carried our whole State ticket by increas
ed majority. We have gained two members of Con
gress—and through a combination of local causes, we
have most probably lost for one veal* the Legislature of
the State—a result brought about by bad management,
and iu defiance of repeated warnings given through our
columns.
Mississippi Election. —The election in this State
has resulted in favor the Democrats. The Democratic
State ticket and the Democratic candidate for Con
gress for the State at large have majorities of 5000 to
8000 votes. The regular Democratic candidate for
Congress, in this District, lias also been elected. In
the Legislature, the Democratic anti-Foote majority on
joint-bcllot will not be less than twenty-five.— Jackson
paper.
Election in Florida. —The election iu this State
for Chief Justice and two Associate Justices, has resulted
in favor of the Democrats by an increased vote.
Alabama Legislature. —This body was organised
on Monday last, by the election of Col. W. B. Martin,
President of the Senate and Col. Win. Garrette, Spea
ker of the House. J. 11. Phelan, Secretary of the
Senate, and M, D. Graham, Clerk of the House—all
Democrats.
Rhode Island. —The legislature of Rhode Island has
just had a brief session of two and a half days, at
Kingston. Only two public acts were passed during
the session, viz : one calling together the Constitutional
Convention, and the other making railroad and steam
boat companies responsible for loss of life through the
negligence or incompetency, of their agents.
The Pacific Railroad. —Mr. Comptroller Flagg, of
New York, has been elected treasurer of the Pacific
Railroad Company, and has accepted the trust. An
instalment of 1 per cent, lias been called upon the
stock of thi9 road, one-tenth of which is payable imme
diately. The directors of this company are now in ses
sion in New 7 York, considering the best means to ad
vance the interests of the enterprise. It is proposed
to give the work to contractors in sections of fifty miles
each. Propositions, it is said, have been made by firms
of contractors to build the whole liue.

We cannot thank the correspondent of the Chronicle A

| * ,nseot the Editors of the Times & Sentinel, than a reap
pearance of it in their paper oi the Bth inst.
Female education is not only the “pet humbug” of Geor

Slav© Case in Kentucky.
Avery interesting slave case has just been
decided in the Covington (Kv.) Circuit Court.
The case was between Samuel Norris, a slave,
and J. N. Patton, of Virginia. The particulars,
are, that Norris who has been living in Cov
ington for several years, where he married a
free woman, and has several children, was per
mitted by his master, Patton, to hire his own
time, paying him through his agents, Nithers A
Cos., of Cincinnati, his annual hire, which he
always did promptly. The amount stipulated,
was #looper annum. About two years since
his master, Patton, came to Cincinnati and sent
for Sam to visit him, which he did at the house
of his agents, Nithers <Y Cos., at the same time
the following agreement was made:
Patton agreed to liberate Bam. or allow him
to buy himself by paying the sum of four hun
dred dollars within four years. The surplus,
whatever it might be, was to belong to the slave.
In accordance with which agreement, Sam
paid at that time one hundred and thirty tour
dollars, and has paid him since fifty dollars
more. It was expressly understood that Patton
was not to sell, him during the four years. This
part of the agreement Patton attempted to vio
late, to prevent which the suit was brought.—
The case was decided on yesterday in favor of
the defendant, and the suit, dismissed hv Judge
Pr yor, upon the following grounds:
L I hat the statutes of Kentucky recognise
only two ways of liberating slaves—lst, by
will; ‘ld, by deed of administration.
2. That a slave, bylaw, is not allowed to en
ter into any contract.
0. That the fact of the agreement being enter
ed into in Ohio, a free State, does not alter the
law, so long as the negro is still a slave.
4. That the contract, or agreement, was only
executory between Sam and Patton, and the
time fixed for his freedom was at a future day
and contingent.
5. That so long as Sam was a slave, the
master was entitled to his services, and the money
received by him was, by law 7 , considered his
own.
Being a suit of much interest, references were
made by the judge to oil the authorities upon
which his opinion was founded. In the conclu
sion of his remarks, he said : “I am, therefore,
unable to give any effect to the agreement, be
cause it was made in Ohio; and I feel compell
ed, understanding the law of this case as I do,
to decide against the plaintiff’, at the same time
looking upon it as a great hardship and cruelty.’’
The case was appealed to the Supreme Court
of the State.— Chron. dp Sentinel,
