Mr. Giddings continuing made allusion to

The Augusta Republic.
As another year terminated at the hour of
twelve last night, and a New Year has already
begun its flight of time, we will use the occa
sion to say a word or two of the Republic.
We are not intending to issue a formal
I Prospectus for 1850. Readers and friends,
you have seen our course, and can judge for
yourselves, whether we have been faithful to
your interests or not. Os one thing we are
certain. We have been faithful to truth, as
its light has been seen by us. Never have we
departed from its guidance, as seen through
our judgment. To political friends we have
been true. Our advice to them has been free
ly and honestly given, whatever may have ,
been the consequences to us. They must r
judge us by such standards as they may erect t
ill thei—own hearts. s
To our political opponents we have beer
just and respectful. All are entitled to theii
opinions. Whatever our convictions ma,
have been, we have never lost sight of the re
fleaion that man is fallible. However stron
' we may be in our opinion, we may be wron;
• Men will, must differ in opinion. Let us tho
’ respect the honest differences of each othc.
' One thing is certain—we are all members>f
I the same community, or county, or state, ir
country. The political stream which potrs
upon us will affect us all alike, whether itre
i adverse or prosperous. Knowing this, every
| citizen from interested motives would desire!t
■ to be productive of good instead of evil. Heiie,
iin his opinionsand political conduct, be mst
' be presumed to be honest, till circumstanes
demonstrate the contrary. If this view ofhe
case be reasonable, it is proper that we shald
treat each others opinions with respect, tren
though we may consider them erroneous.
If in the conduct of our Journal we hive
committed faults, we hope they will be par
doned. They wero at least unintentional If
we have wronged any one, we pray for'ive
ness, for we never intended it.
Tho Republic, though a whig paper, is nde
; pendent. That attribute has not been and lever
I will be surrendered. Our future coursemay
ibe judged by the past. We shall endeanr to
make the Repnblic more entertaining ant use
ful than it has been. To effect that objefl, we
j have secured the services of the Junior Editor,
■ and we shall, as soon as the arrangement can
■ be perfected, furnish our readers with he la
i test news by Telegraph.
We have received much kindness at the
■ hands of the public, and respond to it with
’ heartfelt thanks. Neither pains, labor,nor ex
i pense will be spared, to make the Republic
i what its friends desire it to be.
We have reason to believe that out efforts
meet the approbation of the public. That is
Laborurn dulce lenimen (the sweet solace of
our labors).
The Preaideul’a Message.
The annual Message of the Chief Ruler of
a free people, is always looked for with interest;
but at no period of our history, during a time
of peace, was a document anticipated with
more anxious solicitude, than the message of
President Taylor, so recently submitted to
the Representatives of the Nation.
We have no desire to criticise its exposition
of affairs, in detail. That we leave to the
judgment of our readers.
Theijnosamre aim.unices that w*sjiro at
at peace among ourselves.
With the views of tho message, in relaJfen
to our foreign policy, there will be a very gem
era! concurrence of opinion. On tho subject
of appropriations for internal improvements,
tho sub-treasury, and the Tariff, there will
be of conrse, as there ever have been a great
division of sentiment. We hold to the Re
publican doctrine of internal improvements
only of a national character and a tariff for
revenue with incidental protection only. The
country will never sustain any effort to go
beyond these lines.
We are pleased with the recommendation
of a reduction of postage, and tho maintenance
of the just powers of the co-ordinate braiftiies
of the General Government. We hope never
to see the veto power used but for the purpose
of checking encroachments, hasty and injudi
cious legislation and violations of the constitu
tion.
The message pays a high and deferential
homage to the value of the Union. We have
loved it with fondness, as a rich, precious
inheritance of inestimable worth. We trust
that future years and ages will behold the
monuments of its greatness towering among
the nations of the earth, while her fame and
justice, shall shine in purity and splendor about
their summits. We would cling to the Union
while there is liberty and equality to enjoy,
and a Heaven to smile, as it has smiled upon
the most favored people of any ago or clime.
But we ask can one still cherish as a friend,
him, by whom he lias been stabbed in the dark ?
Can man still fondly love her who had pros
i trituted the shrine of his affection ? Can a
i people love a union which leaves them only
I the name and honor of freemen and gives
them tho bitter dregs of tyranny to drink?
Upon such terms as these, we may fan the
fires of tho Union, but they will prove to be the
fires of discord not of affection. Any effort
to maintain it under such circumstances would
, only prepare the way for the advent of disso
lution, it may be of war, long, bloody, and
implacable.
Stripping the views of the President,
upon tire California question, of the garb
in which they are clothed, we understand him
to favor the admission of California into the
Union as a State, whether slavery be permit
ted or excluded by her constitution. To that
the South should never consent. It seems to
be recommended as a plan to get rid of the ’
difficult question, of slavery. But how should
we get rid of it thus ? By yielding it to the
exactions of anti-slavery. But the difficulty
could not be avoided in that way, for New
Mexico and other portions of California would
remain in a territorial state to be contended
for by the two sections of the country. Hence
the admission of California would be a sacrifice
attended by loss of political power to the South,
[ without the gain of even a dishonorable peace.
Why then admit her now, reeking from the
' mangled arms of Mexico, without the requi
site population, most of whom are as igno
’ rant of our system of government as the Hin-
doo is of the Christian’s Heaven, and many oi
whom are foreigners and adventuters floating
upon the surface of life, and attracted there by
the subduing glitter of gold.
Why permit that motley mixture of Indian
and while man, of foreigner and native, of
buccaneer and adventurer, with doubtless a
respectable number of worthy and intelligent
citizens, to ciaim, as a single State, territory
enough to make several States as Urge as
Georgia, with a coast boundary extending for
more than a thousand miles from Oregon to
Mexico.
The other territorUs have undergone a po-
’ leal pupillage—those that originated in the
laita of the “ Old Thirteen,” and those that
ere purchased of foreign powers. Louisia
t (purchased of France) was nine years in
e Union before she was even allowed to be
•presented i n the National Councils as a State,
’hat was in conformity to a requisition of the
Jonstitution, that no one shall be a Senator or
Representative in Congress until he shall have
teen nine and seven years, respectively, a cit
zen of the United States.
But Louisiana and Florida, and all the other
erritories, even the Union itself, innst pale be
ire the new risen star of California, to settle
je slavery question, even at the enormous
Hee of the self-sacrifice of the South. We
hve heretofore given our opinions freely upon
aese Southern questions, and time has justi
led us, as our readers and many others know.
Jn this California question, we think our judg
ment is not at fault. We take the ground
that we do for the good of the South, and we
solemnly believe that the party here, which
n does not take it, will sink into a hopeless mi
ir. nority. What Georgia will say, may be infer
red from the report of the Joint Committee on
’ the State of the Republic, which we published
a few days ago.
They made the admission of California,
with her present limits, and a slavery exclu
sion clause in her Constitution, one of the
events, upon the happening of which, the Go
vernor is requested to issue writs of election
for a State Convention. They therefore can
not concur with the recommendation of the
President. We have not room in this day’s
paper to present a few views upon this ques
tion, which we wish to lay before our readers.
We would remark, in conclusion, to-day, it
will be a dangerous thing to attempt to bring
California into the Union now. The best elix
ir for the Union now, is, patience and non-in
terference; the bast safeguard for the South
is a Union of all parlies till equality and jus
tice have been guarantied by a new bond or a
sacred recognition of the old one. Power is
both grasping and penurious. If it yields not
in this instance, tho equalitv and justice to
which we refer, the consequences no man can
tell.
New Year.
May our readers, one and all, enjoy a happy
New Year. May they bo prosperous and hap
py, till it becomes no longer a new year, and is
buried with the past. We, in this section,
have been peculiarly blessed. While a dread
ful malady has been scourging many sections
of our country, during the past year, most of
our readers live in places which have been ex
empt from its ravages. Ruthless death has
taken dear ones from our midst. Let that re
mind us all of the fleeting nature of this life,
and prepare ns for that which is to come.
Long, long years of happiness to our numer
ous readers. May they meet faithful smiles,
true hearts, and happy fortunes.
Or. Janes’ Address.
We received some time since the Address
of Dr. Thomas P. Janes, before the Jefferson
Agricultural Society of Greene county. We
have delayed noticing it thus long in hope
of finding room for it, or at least portions
of it, in our columns, but a constant press
of matter, which could not be delayed, has
prevented it. When we get through the
Reports, and the Legislature adjourns after
its next meeting, we will then have more room.
We are desirous to publish this address, be
cause it combines so much literary merit with
useful agricultural suggestions and. iiiforum-

Operalic Spirees.
Seldom have the citizens of Augusta been
more delightfully entertained than on the eve
nings of the 26th and 28th ult., by the perfor
mances of Madame Leati, Miss Brienti, Mr.
Lead and Mr. Manvers.
In the Elixir of Love, on the first evening,
the principal characters were personated by
Mr. Leati, Miss Brienti and Mr. Manvers. We
can only say, that they not only displayed, re
spectively, much histrionic ability, bat sang
with great power and effect. Madame Leati
who sang during die evening, makes up in mel
ody and sweetness what she Insks in compass
of voice. Mr. Leati has a fine baratone, and
Mr. Manvers a delightful tenor, which they
both manage with superior skill and effect.
Miss Brienti sings sweetly and with a winning
grace and ease.
Madame as Amina, in I.a Somnambu
la, won enviable triumphs, not only by her im
personation of character, but the captivating
charms of her song. Many testified to her
success by their tears in the pathetic dreaming
scene which but few could equal.
I-arge and fashionable audiences showed,
by their presence, their appreciation of the
merits of these artists. Rarely do we have an
opportunity of witnessing so attractive a per
formance as they give, the effect of which is
heightened by tlieir full and beauriful cos
tumes.

New Year Present*.
Santa Claus has had his day, and gone home
to revel for the year, in the memory of the
joys and pleasures he has alforded the juve
niles, by his drums, swords, military caps,
horses, and many other toys. A blooming
New Year begins to day. No time is more
appropriate lor making presents and pleasing
impressions than New Year’s day. We look
ed in yesterday at Mrs. Girardey & Sons, Mr.
Augustin Frederick’s, and Mr. Altman’s.
They have something to suit every taste and
fancy for strutting boydom, or little gentle pan
tilettedoin.
Besides the brilliant toys, there are the
beautiful and tasteful confections and candies
which are not unpleasant even to some in their
early teens. There is but little difference,
except in consequences, between the murder
ous gun of man, and the little brass cannon of
the boy. The doll is the mimic representative
of the real baby. There is certainly less dan
ger and botheration in these toys of children,
than larger ones. Let New Year’s day be a
happy and joyous day to the juveniles at least.
Mr. Toombs.
Our readers will find in this day’s paper, an
account of a warm scene in which Mr. Toombs
was the principal actor. As they read, they
will no doubt be struck with the correctness of
his position. He got the better of the contest,
for he did not take his seat till he finished what
he was determined to say.

Their addresses were courteous and friend

Annual Report of the Board of
Managers of Augusta Free
School.
Made to the Society at its animal meeting on
the 20th inst.
The Committee appointed by the Board of
Managers of the Augusta Free School Society
to prepare a report of their proceedings, and
of the open lions of the School for the past
year, present the following:
They are pleased to congratulate tl e Board,
and through them the Society, for tho very
flourishing condition in which they can report
the School. From the Superintendant’s re
turns, which we herewith annex, that
the names of the scholars at present on the
register number 221. .One hundred and forty
one of which are boys, and eighty girls.—
The average daily attendance since the
first of October has been from 120 to 130 boys
and from 50 to 60 girls. The average daily
attendance for the year has been in the boys’
school 102, and in girls’ 53, which gives as a
total 155. The corresponding report of the
year preceding gave a total of 101, thus show
ing the gratifying increase of more that fifty
per cent in one year.
The committee are also pleased to have it
in their power to report as favorably for the
excsilenc-y ai the SahuoL, ..i.ly -ws-
the progress in studies has been advanced but
for the very visible improvement which has
been made in its external appearance. It is
notorious and has been remarked by many that
at no previous time in the history of schools in
our city where so large a number of boys are
assembled, has there been so much order ob
tained, such quiet preserved, and this not only
in the school room, but also when freed from
the immediate eyes of their teachers; this, too,
is the more to be commended, because so many
of them are those who from necessity have
not been accustomed to the rigors of strict dis
cipline.
The Committee have in common with their
fellow-managers, often borne witness, and
have been astonished at the rapid progress
which has been made, almost universally in
their studies, and they can but congratulate
themselves upon their happy choice in the se
lection of their Superintendant, Mr. Thomas
Snowden; to his strict attention, his untiring
energy and his peculiar capacity, they feel
that much of the prosperity of the school is in
debted.
The genteel and quiet deportment of the
scholars, added to their rapid progress in studies
together with confidence in the teachers, has
induced many persons even of wealth to place
their children here, and this does not arise,
even in part from a spirit of economy—but for
example as well as benefit. Those very gen
tlemen are among the largest contributors to
the School Fund.
Owing to the increase of scholars the Board
have deemed it proper to employ an additional
teacher. By this arrangement it is proposed
to separate the smaller scholars from each
department and to unite them under one head;
this will enable both the male and female
teachers to elevate the standard of studies in
the respective schools. The female depart
ment will particularly be benefitted, as the se
lected teacher will give more special attention
to the various branches necessary to female
education. The Board were fortunate in
making an arrangement with a highly accomp
lished female teacher to take charge of this de
partment, and from the high ‘testimonials
which have been extended her, they feel war
ranted in commending this school, as being
inferior to none incur State. This whole de- •
partment will still be under the superinten
dence of Mrs. Prouty, a lady whose matronly
regard aud wlrose diligent attention eminently
qualify her for its management.
Under this new arrangement this institution
now commends itself,and as it is dependent
upon charity for power to continue its useful
ness, the Committee do not feel hesitancy in
making an appeal to the public for its aid.
The actual permanent revenue of the Soci
ty is about $1100; while with the utmost eco-
I nomy, its expenses has exceeded §l3O0 —leav-
I ing a balance to be provided for each year,
' either from whatever surplus may have been
I previously on hand, or from the donations re-
I ceived from individuals. In this amount is in
cluded the sum received from the Tax Collec
tor, averaging about one hundred and fifty
dollars, and the County funds of three hundred
and fifty dollars. For the ensuing year, these
expenses must be increased considerably, ow
ing to the necessity of having to employ the ad
ditional Teacher, and to the increased quanti
ties of school material which will be required.
In addition to this it will be found necessary
to modify the arrangement of the School
Rooms, a change which, at the present mo
mant, is absolutely required; but which can
not be effected until the summer vacation has
commenced. This charge will draw heavily
upon the revenues of the Society, and will
prove a considerable item in its expenses.
But in this, as in all others, the Board will
consult the revenue of the Society, as well as
economy iu its expenditures.
In closing our report, we would suggest to
the Society the propriety, as well as expedien
cy, of appointing a Committee to collect what
ever sums they may be euabled to do. There
are many in our midst who would give liberal
ly, if they were made aware cf the necessities
of the school.
\Ve annex the Report of the Secretary and
Treasurer for the past year, and also our es
timates of the receipts aud expenditures cf the
ensuing year.
We are, respectfully,

To appoint the Justices of the Inferior Court
of Laurens commissioners of the town of Dub
lin, and to authorize said commissioners to sell
and dispose of a portion of lot No. 232 in tho
Ist district of originally Wilkinson, now laiu
rens county, known as the commons of said
town of Dublin.
The Senate disagreed to the amendment of
the House to the bill to extend tho time for ta
king out grants on head rights in this State lo
the 25th Dec., 1851.
The Senate concurred in the amendment of
the House to the bill to authorise aliens to re
ceive, purchase, hold and convey, mortgage
and devise real estate.
Mr. Woods laid on the table the following
resolution, viz:
Resolved, That Congress, under the Con
stitution, has no-right to interfere with the in
stitution of slavery in the States, and that the
South has again reiterated this opinion, and
that wo know our rights and will maintain
them.
Mr. Joseph E. Brown laid on tho table the
following preamble and resolutions :
Whereas, the Hon. Thomas Butler King,
has, as it is reported, resigned his seat as the
Representative of the First Congressional Dis
trict of the State of Georgia, in the Congress
of the United States; and whereas, from the
public prints it appears, that in California lie
has, by public speeches, been urging the resi
dents of that Territory to organize a State Gov
ernment in said Territory, indirectly, if not di
rectly, alleging that lie represented the views
and feelings of the Cabinet at Washington ;
and whereas, also, it appears that he is busily
seeking a seat in the United States Senate a«
a representative from California, and under
a Constitution which excludes the South from
an equal participation of the priviliges of a
territory purchased in part by her blood and
treasure :—Be it therefore by the Senate and
House of Representatives of Georgia in Gen
eral Assembly met,
1. Resolved, That in the estimation of the
General Assembly, it is derogatory to the
character of any Southern man and especially
of a Southern Representative in Congress, to
advocate upon her own soil the admission of
California into the Union as a free Stale, and
slill more derogatory to such an individual
to accept a seat in the national councils, pur
chased by moral treason and to that portion
of the Union that has hitherto fostered him and
extended to him her confidence.
2. Resolved, That the conduct of Mr. King
in his rcpor.’ed ‘peeches in California, and in
offering himself as a candidate to represent
her in the Senate of the Union after she had
adopted a Constitution inhibiting Slavery,
meets the unqualified disapprobation of this
General Assembly.
Resolved, That his Excellency tne Governor
be requested to communicate to this General
Assembly copies of any correspondence he
may have had with Mr. King since his depar
ture from Georgia to California.
Mr. Joseph E. Brown moved to take them
up—yeas 21, nays 16.
On the resolutions being read, Mr. Brown
moved that fifty copies of the same be printed,
and the resolutions be made the special order
of the day for Monday, 21st January, 1850—
which was agreed to.'
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr. Jones, the House recon
sidered so muejr °f the journal of yesterday as
relates to the issuing of grunts, so far as to
extend the time for granting the same until the
25;hDec. 1851.
Mr. Jones moved to suspend the order to
lake up the reconsidered bill, which prevailed
. .Lkllft took ■ntilß iHfmrt llw seuou.
sidi-red bill and ttie same as amended was
agreed to—<read the third time and passed.
The order being further suspended, Mr.
Phillips laid upon the table the following re
solution.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Re
presentatives in General Assembly met, That
his Excellency the Governor be and he is here
by requested to furnish the General Assemb
ly, at as early a day as possible, with a state
ment of the aggregate value of tho lands of
this State, likewise of the negro slaves, the
amount of stock in trade, the probable amount
of money at interest including stocks, bonds,
nates, &c., and what rate per centum of said
aggregate will supply the probable wants of
the Government for the years 1850 and 1851.
The resolution was taken up and agreed to
and the Clerk was directed to take the same
forthwith to the Senate.
The order being further suspended, the
House took up the report on the bill to repeal
an act passed on the 25th Dec. 1837, consoli
dating tho offices of Receiver of Returns and
Tax Collector in the counties of Rabun, Cam
den, Irwin, Floyd, Scriven, Paulding, Wayne,
.Murray, Cherokee, Glynn, Telfair and Laur
ens, so far as relates to the county of Irwin.
The bill was read the third time and passed.

CHERRY PECTORAL:
For ihe Cure of

CEOTIS, CROUP, AS TH
, MA, WKOOPING-OOUOH
AKTD CONSUMPTION.
The uniform success which has attended] tho
j use of this preparation—its salutary effect—it
power to relieve and cure affections of the Lungs
have gained for it a celebrity equalled by no other
medicine. We offer it to the afflicted’with en
tire confidence in iis virtues, and the full belief
that it will subdue and remove the severest at
tacks of disease upon the throat and Lungs.
These results, as they become publicly known,
very naturally attract the attention of medical
men and philanthropists everywhere What ia
their opinion of CHERRY PECTORAL may
be seen in the following:—
VALLENTINE MOTT, M. D.,
Prof. Surgery .Med. College, New York, says:—
“It gives mo pleasure to certify the value and
efficacy of Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL,
which 1 consider peculiarly rdapted to cure dis
eases of tbe Throat and Lun<rs.’
THE RT. REV. LORD BISHOP FIELD,
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast sink
ingAinder an affections of the Lungs:—“Try the
CHERRY PECTORAL and if any medicine
can oiva vou relief, with the blessing of God that
Will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “That a young daughter of
his was cured of several attacks of Croup bj' the
“CHERRY PECTORAL.”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Modi -al Science
’'states, ••That Asthma and Bronchitis so preva
lent in this inclement climate, has yielded with
surprising rapidity to Ayer’s CHERRY PECTO
RAL, and we cannot too strongly recommend
this skilful preparation to tho Profession and pub
lic generally.”
Let the relieved sufferer speak for himself:
Hartford, Jan. 26 1847.
Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear. Sir:—Having been res
cued irom a painful and dangerous disease by
your medicine, gratitude prompts me to send you
this acknowledgment, not only in justice to you,
but for the information of others in like affliction.
A slight cold upon the lungs, neglected at first
became so severe that spitting of blood, a violent
cough and profuse night sweats followed and fas
tened upon me. I became emaciated, could not
sleep, was distressed by my cough, a pain through
my chest, and in short had all the alarming symp
toms of quick consumption. No medicine seemed
at all to reach my case, until I providentially
tried your CHERRY PECTORAL, which soon
reliever! and now has cured me.
Yours with respect E. A. STEWART.
Albany, N. Y., April 17, 1848
Dr. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir:—l have for
years been afflicted with Asthma in the worst
form; so that I have b en obliged to sleep in my
chair for a larger part of the limo, being unable
to breathe on my bed. I had tried a great many
medicines to no purpose, until my Physician
prescribed, as an experiment; your CHERRY
PECTORAL.
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less
than a week I began to experience the most gra
tifying relief from its use; and now in four weeks
the disease is entirely removed • I can sleep on
my bed with comfort, and enjoy a stale of health
which I had never expected to enjoy.
