THE GAZETTE.
RISING FAWN, GA.:
Thursday, Pel. ftO.th 1*79
JjjTlic Columbus Enquirer reports that
the rainjlfor the past few days have clone
far more cl: mage than anysupp B'd.
The cotton crop has suffered greatty.
Thejlast 'rise ofj tlie river caused tlie
loss of some of the'staple on the places of
planters* along its banks. It says;“Se
veral responsible gentlemen informed
us yesterday that the cotton in the b<>ll s
was sprouting. Ry this the loss will
be heave.
With this number eu.ls the first vol
ume of the Gazette. We hope all
parties who are indebted to this office
will settle up, and let us begin the New
Year, with our old books closed. We
are under many obligations to tlie people
tor the liberal support they have exten
dcd'to the enterprise, It has now pass
ed through the hard times, and may be
considered permauetly established. W T e
ask for it, the continued support of the
people, and promise you with your
assistance, to give you in the future a
first class county paper, for the small
sum of one dollar per annum. We are
tedding toour subscription list every daj,
and expect by tlie first of January next
to send tlie Gazette to one thousand
subscribers. If every one of our subscri
bers will send us one name, that number
mav be reached easily, and witli but lit
tle trouble Now will not every subscri
ber try to get one other by doing wbicli
you will enable us to give you a oettei
paper? We believe you will.
How strange it is that the people will
continue to suffer themselves imposed
upon by perfect strangers, who aic tia
veling through the country, as an Indi
an doctor, claiming to be perfectly able
to cure all diseases to which the human
family is subject. We understand that
no longer than last week, one of thase
unknown individuals passed through
this county, and actually imposed upon
some of the host families in the connty
by representing to them that he was able
to cure any and all chronic diseases,
under some one of which, some member
of the family was suffering, and taken
from them large sum* of money. In some
instances the parties having to borrow
Jkthe money to give to this would he doe-
Ptor.
\Ve understand there is a genuine
indian doctor living at South Pittsburg
Tenn, by the name of R. G. Lowlier,
who has acquiied some reputation as a
doctor, and from that fact we suppose
tlie people were more easily deccncd b\
the individual! who “fleccd” our citizens
last week. This person who passed
tlirough here was traveling in a two horse
ca i ge and represented himself as being
the genuine l)r Lowlier, t Lut give his,
mine as Dr. Lisle anti stated that the
naioo on the circulars was put Lo wbe r
through a mistake, that he was the
identical person, ami that the next issue
of the Jasper Herald would explain
every thing, perfectly satisfactory.
We were satisfied that there was
something wrong front the first, anil
when the Jasper Herald came out we
searched for the expl nation butlo! and
behold! no where could ••ve tind a word
of explanation. Now come Bro. Parr,
don’t be so backward, arise and explain
To the people we would say that this
Indian doctor Lisle or who ever he may
Le, has carried out of this county sev
eral Hundred dollars, and you will receive
no benefit whatever for this money and
wo would suggest that you have among
you some good ynysi Una, with whom
you are well acquainted, consult them,
and do not pay your money to unknown
doctors. They will nor can do you any
any good, they get your money and that
is the last.you ever hear of them.
We have not learned the particulars
of the trial of our citizens, who were
forced to attend the court at Huntsville
Ala. just to gratify a “few folks’’ Mr.
.1 C. Smith, we understand come clear
so did W. L. Driakel. ejected for
them and all others to com* clear for
neither of them had violated any law
hut a chance to make money must he
jriveu to the U. '*>. marshals. How long
will it be before this everlasting back
biting “ big F and little you” idea of the
administration party will cease to exist
The Jasper C enlenial Ora
f ion ofßeii.J’ IS. ('Onion,
Delivered Oct.9, 1*79.
Continued from last week.
Another source of the peculiar in
terest which invests the name of Jasper
is to be found in the fact that he was an
Irishman, that he did not permit the
mournful state inflicted by Great Britain
upon bis own country and its people to
deter him from enlisting in the cause of
the feeble colonies against the same
dominating and apparently invincible
power.
As the chosen organ of the Jasper
Monumental Association, 1 invite the
Irish-Americans and the patriots of Ire'
land everywhere to regard the column
which shall here be erected to Jasper as
a monument also to the spirit of resis
tance to tyrants, which though baffled
in Ireland and victorious in America, is
still older and as enduring in Irish as
in American hearts, Ireland and Irish
men in every quarter of the globe,
wherever they breathe the vital air, will
rise up with one accord to do honor to
tlie principles of liecdom for which that
people battled through centuries of de
feat; for which Jasper fell and to which
this monument is to be reared.
Few nations that have lived in history
deserves more richly than Ireland the
tribute which you are about to pay to one
of her sons. Her history running back
to tli regions of Able and decending
with an unbiokcn current through ten
centuries, Ireland, prior to her conquest
by a foreign powerr can boast of a civ
ilization and national independence of
greater duration than any nation of any
age. Even the tides of foreign conquest
which have rolled in successive waves
over Ireland have not sufficed to obliter
ate the record of her learning, to obscure
the manifestations of her wonderful geni-
us, to crndi the spirit of her inextin
guishable nationality, nor to quench the
fires of freedom that glow in the breasts
of her people. Even Alfred, the lion
hearted monarch and idol of British hip
torv, the Waslsington of England, who
blended in one character the charm of
romance and the power of philosophy,
who combined the firo and chivalry of
David with almost the calm wisdom
of Solomon, was educated in Irish halls
of learning and drew from Irish polity
his maxims and institutions of political
wisdom. Edmund Burke and Cun an
and Rheridau were Irishmen. What
country, what age, can boast of such
a trio. Burke, the fearless friend of
American freedom, who was unrivalled
in the profusion of his gifts. whose eol
lossal form rises in peerless height above
his fellowmen: who, from the platform
of politics swept with his intellectual
vision the vast field of philosophy, ot
science, of literature of law and of elo
quence. Curran, who even in his old
age, when the frosts of years had bligh
ted many of those flowers of fancy, which
bloomed with perennial* beauty, drew
from Madame de fetael the declaration
that he was the most gifted man she had
ever known who was the Shakespeare ol
the bar. true son of genius, and heir
of its highest inspiration. Sheridan,
whose eloquence Byron declared
“Was the thunder —the avenging rodl
The wrath—tbe delegated voice o God
Which shook the nations through his lips and
blazed
Till vanquished Scutes trembled as they prais
ed.” % 0
What does England not owe to Ire
land for the gift of such men as these?
What does France not owe to Ireland
for Cavaignac, who was called in our
day to the head of tho French Republic
and whose popularity never yielded till
it came in contact with that of a Bon
aparte—a name that holds the hearts and
imaginations of Frenchmen with a
spell more potent than the wizard’s
wand? What does America not owe to
Ireland for the monuments ofliish in
dustry in her railroads and canals, and
for Irish contributions to bar and bench
and battlefield: for Jasper and Mont
gomery, martyrs to American independ
ence; for Shields and the Irish born
soldiers who in every war followed the
flag of this Republic? What does the
South not owe to Ireland for enriching
her soil with the blood of Clebarne, and
her literature with the genius of Ryan
that gifted Irishman who is at once the
thunderbolt of oratory and rainbow of
poesy; who*e thoughts breathe with the
very life of truth, and whose words like
sparks from holy altars burn bo
soms with immortal tire? \\T at does
liberty not owe to Ireland for Fitzger
ald, for Wolf Tone, for John Mitchell
for Francis Meagher, for O’Brian,
O'Connell and Robbert Framit? Though
heroes of a 'ost cause, the names of these
patriots are forever associated with the
names of Hampden, of Sidney, of Bru
tus. and of Washington.
It is fitting that America should build
a monument to a son of Ireland. It is
especially appropriate that it should be
built by Georgians to Jasper; that it
should stand here among the people for
whose freedom he died; here on the soil
that drank his blood, here by the ocean
whose waters wash either shore, and
whose ceaseless throbs symbolize tlie
beating of the great heart of the two
peoples, pulsating in common and death
less sympathies.
The third and last reason which I shall
mention, is the devotion of the people
to tlie cause which Jasper so gloriously
served. It is not only-an impressive tes
timonial of the gratitude of the country
to Jasper, but a spontaneous manifesta
tion of the peculiar sympathy felt by the
South with the cause of constitutional
and local government for which he
fought and fell. It cannot be successfully
denied that at the South the cause of
local government has a champion in al
most eveiy citizen. The peculiar insti
tutions which for halfa eentury before
the late war bad isolated her from sym
pathies of other sections,Jand the mourn
ful facts of her history since that war,
have served to wed the south in indissolu
ble bonds to this doctiine of local gov-
ernment—a doctrine which all the colo
nies anterior to the establishment of our
independence, and all the States for
a long period subsequent to that event
held to be essential to the freedom of the
people. But the unhappy conflict be
tween the Southern States and the
General Government has had tbeunfor
tunat > teiuh ncy to bring this oavdin and • oc
trino of free government into temporary
disrepute. I say temporary, for it must
again successfully assert itself in every
State of the Union, unless passion and
prejudice, apprehension, and phe false
presumptions of a necessity for a stronger
government shall blind the American
people to the experience of the colonies
and to the clearest lessons taught by tlie
history and the philosophy of govern
ment. Temporary it must be unless the
Constitution is to be disregarded, the
States to be disorganized and liberty
cease to be regarded as a heritage of
American citizens. It is true that the
opposing theories—the national and the
local or State government theories, as
in this connection they may l>e termed
—have U#* 5 for nearly a cen
tury. The cont%to-ersy might continue
forever without involving any serious
change of the Government or imperil-
ing the liberties of the people R waged
in the spirit and with the same modera
tion that marked its progress for the
first seventy years of onr ivflnnal exist
ence; for never until tlwSe latter years
the integrity or independence or sov
ereignty of the Htttes called t\ question
But so radical and revolutionary are the
changes now demanded; so far advanced
from former positions are the advocates
of a great consolidated and imperial re
public; so fixed seems the purpose to
subordinate the States to the will of a
majority of Congress, irrespective of
the Constitution, that the ability of the
people to preserve their rights of local
government becomes a question of mo
mentous consequence. I say momentous
because there never has been, there never
will De, a question submitted, the rela
tions, ol the immortal spirit to eternity
excepted, in which is involved so much
of weal or woe to these fifty millions of
freemen.
