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.
