He expressed conservative views in regard to the action pro per forthe Whig party in regard to the slavery qunticn. Mr. Holmes expressed some views showing the hoetility of the Northern gentlemen to the South ta regard to the territorial question and slavery in the District of Columbia. He main tained that the tcadency of such action was to dissevdr the Union. The discussioa was continued by Messrs.

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- J3"We tender our thanks to the Hon. Mr. Berrien for the Patent Office Reports for 1848 and to the Hon. Messrs. H. Cobb and S. W. Harris, of Alabama, for copies of thJ Presi dent’s Message. Mr. Win, Hale, of Camden, S. C., a student at the University of Virginia, was accidentally shot by one of his companions, on the 21st ult.

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. Death of Wm. Long street.—The Cons titutionalist of the 29th ult. says: A letter re ceived in this city yesterday, brings the mel ancholy tidings to many of our citizens, ol the death of William Longstreet, formerly a resi- . of this county. He died at his residence in t Olhcaliooga, on the afternoon of the 26th inst. He died as he lived, respected and beloved by all who knew him. Blackwood's Edinburgh Maga zine. We have received from the publishers, Messrs. Leonard, Scott &. Co., the December number of this celebrated Magazine. They are republishing the London Quarterly, The Edinburgh, The North British, and The West minster Reviews, as well as Blackwood’s Ma gazine. These works need no commenda tion.

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. Priiwian and British Ministers- Mr. Von Geralt was on the 22nd ult., and Sir Henry Buiwer, on the 24th ult.. presented (as Ministers for their, respective countries, Prussia and England), to the President. Their addresses were courteous and friend ly, nnd the President’s replies were of the same character. Fatal Accident A man by the name of Preston, from Hen ry county, was accidentally killed in Atlanta, on Friday, last week, by an engine running over him.

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, Charles E. Greenville, B. Conley, Da niel Haqd, Geo. Rackett, J. C. Far go—Committee. j December 3S, 184*. (From the Southern Recorder.) Georgia Legislature.

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.'

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. • GEORGES FARRANT.
