Pectoral for the Cure of Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping-Cough, Croup, Ashthma and Consumption. Among the numerous discoveries Science has made in this generation to facilitate the business of life—increase its enjoyment, and even prolong the term of human ex istence, none can be named of more real value to man kind, than this contribution ofChemistry to the Healing Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad country’, has proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine or combination of medicines known, can so surely con trol anu cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary dis ease which have hitherto swept from onr midst thou sands and t housands every year. Indet;(|, there, is now abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been found which can be relied on to cure the most danger ous affections of the lungs.

M< Donald pre tend tWt he is a good Uaion man. They say thaitaeis willing to abide by the ac tion of the Georgia Convention—ih.it in a word, he, the Georgia ‘Platform. This is wlinlv untrue. The third resolution of in’ Gu tgia Conven tion declares that.®’ “Whilst the-Union parly does not wholly approve ofohe Compromise, it will abide by it as a permanent, adjust * ment ol this sen tonal controversy.’’ Gov. McDonald, in his letter to the Lumpkin county committee, say*: “ I know of no adjustment bv Con gress of the slavery nd terriioria que— | lions. The measures so called comian [ not a single element of adjustment 1 Here is the most plain, unequivocal | proof from Judge McDonald’s own pen, that he does not consider the Coo pro mise as a permanent adjustment, or a an adjustment at all. How, then can he he regarded as occupying ihe Georgia Plai j form ? All this pretence, therefore, on J the part of his supporters, is a gross and ! shameful FRAUD. Judge McDonald is in full league with the Carolina Disun ionist. He is so regarded bv them. In the Southern Standard, published at Charleston on the 20ili ins!., we find an article in regard to the Georgia election, which contains the following language: “ If McDonald should be elected, it will show a decided advance of the South ern Rights party in Georgia ; and assure us, that they not only agree wiili us on the greai sovereign right of a Slate to secede, but also, that they sympathise with us ia opposing the aggressive measures of ihe Federal Government, and w ill be ready lo unite with us in some plan of re sistance, when they see, that ihe proper time for action has come; and that this time cannot be far distant is apparent from die agitations of the political a linos.- pbere.” - This extract puls th*- matter in its true light. It shows the real disunion purs poses of McDonald and hi* followers.— It shows that ihe question i* not as they assert, the mere abstract right of seces sion ; but the practical issue of DISU NION. which is.idroitv concealed under it! Let no Iriend of the Union be de ceived or cajoled into Die support of Mc- Donald or his followers upon such pre tentions. Thev are for Disunion al heart, for existing causes. Trust them not—or if you do, trust them only as Die enemies of the Government and allie* of South Carolina. People j/f Georgia ! now is your lime lo put down this spirit of Disunion and civil war, Trust not man therefore of doubtful integrity.— Vote for no one who is not openly, liank ly and fullv lor the Union as it is—under the Georgia Platform. Judge Me Don* aid anti his followers are not on D>at Platform. The Convention wliicli noni inated him repudiated and reviled it.— According to his own showing, ue does not and cannot occupy it. THE BANNER OF UNION. The loiirtll resolution of the Georgia Convention of Decembar, ISSO. reads as follows: “ Fourthly , That the State ofGeorgia, in the judgment of this convention, will and ought to resist, even (as a last resort) to a disruption of every tje which binds her lo this Union arty action of Congress upon the subject us slavery in the District of Columbia, or in places subject to the safety, the domestic tranquility, the rights and the honor of the sluvehold ing Slates, or any act suppressing the slave trade between si tveholding States, or any refusal to admit as a State ant I territory hereafter applying, because of lit existence of slavery therein ; or any act repealing or materially modifying the . laws now in force for the recovery ol fu gitive slaves.” “Should, however, she time ever nr- j rive when the condition of her remaining in the confederacy are degradation and jurisdiction of Congre-s, incompatible unequally . I shall prepare with her “to resist, with all the means which favor ing Providence my place at her disposal, even “(as a last resort,) to a disruption of every tie which seeks to put upon her such debasing* terms. Nor am I panic* ular by what name this resistance may be characterized—whether secessions, revo* . lution, or any thing else—for no one can for a moment doubt, that should this fear ful collision come, the issue will be decid ed only by the arbitrament of the sword. Where constitutions eud, revolutions be gin.”—llotci ll CM. OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. Secession and tho southern Psess. I The princtpU- of -ecessiou as a*eiteii by *he Southern Piess, is the most fat..l stall ever \et ma<ie at Dm in*ti• ‘im<>■ <>(’ slavery.

She would lie an other Canada to all the slaves slstes that i now border oil her frontier; anil we have , only to suppose that the other iStates ol | the Northwest do the same thing to find I a number of Canadas ready to force, qp* ! on os Brdish policy—ready to produce wimin our limits the scenes of St. Do mingo, or to compel os to adopt the views of Wilbi rforce which produced the emans ripatiou ot Jamaica ami has involved Great Britain in a series of disasters from which she will never recover. Then, it foil, ws that if secession, as a constitutional right be admitted, any sin gle one of the free Slates bv withdraw ing from the Union, may destroy the in btituiioii of siovery. indeed, the great safeguad of slavery is the Union; and litis is so well known to the abolitionists, that in their recent meetings they have passed resolutions ip favor of dissolving the Ummi as the onlv nmrle of abolishing slavery. ,f; 4 Is it ntii more reasonable lo> us to sus pect that the Senior E ntor of the Sou'll- Press, remembering his former i'ymn x-, ion with the Aboliii'inisl, is now lining in conceit with them to destroy the Uo* ion, than tltai journal is patriotic when it assails sttcli statesmen as Jeff’ ‘son, Mud son, anil J u ksun ?— Wash. Union. From llie Columbus Enquirer. The Wt out of the Bag—at Last. It seems ntv that Rliett understood Gov.

Cobh and McDonald m< t at Daltltmga, Lumpkin county on the 14th. Tin Mountain Signal of the 18lh. notices die discussion, and hv whaf foil ovs it will be seen that McDonald, finding he could not dodge any longer, had to ‘acknowledge the t orn,’ anti now says, * I am not’ mi the Georgia Platform, ‘ nor do wish to be’! But hear the Signal: ‘ Bui one oilier reference, and we are done. It lias been claimed by the friends of Mr. McDonald that he was not only a Union man, hut that lie was on the Geor- Pl olorni!

Here it is in his own words—‘No, l am not ; nor do wish to be.’ The following letter to the Augusta Cronide Blso coirobates the above, and gives the satne word used by McDonald: Dahlonegu, Sept. IG. . Dear Sirs: At the discussion held here yesterday, die important admission was made bv Governor McDonald that ■ he>was not on the Georgia platform, neitli” cr did he w ish to be. Or, to use his uw u j language, when interrogated by Mr. Cobb tm the point, when asked if he i stood on the Geo.gin platform— "Mo, 1 (said he) lam not. nor do I wish to be.” RuiU an important admission, when it. is considered that his friends claimed that lie was on the Georgia plaliorm, thought it was not quite so good Union ground as he desired. /1 was a glorious day for Cobb, and an exceedinly unfortunate one for his op ponent. The efforts on the part of Mr. Cobb, We venture die assertion, has left fifty less foes to himself and the Union in this county. Very respectfully: We guei* now. that when McDonald tees the lully‘shelt ot the first Monday in October, he will wish he had been on llie Georgia Platform, or on any other, rath er that! blowing Ivh'.'tVn buyle ! HURRAH FOR DADE! The Atlanta Republican says, “ the people of Dade, have determined lo fight ll” devil with fire, and choke the Mc- Dmiu'diles with tlieir own principles.— They have resolved in the event Georgia Recedes froiu Ihe Union, to secede from Georgia. They have the same viglit to ! sffeede from the State, shat the State has, from the Union.” Union Meeting in Dale. September 2. 1951. At a large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Dade county on this day. R.fht M. Parri was called to the chair, and Dr. J. J Brown acting ns Secretary. After Die wrung was thus duly organ ized, the object of the met ting was fully and explicitly explained by Col. Rub Haw kins. The chair then nppomted Frank Mc- Keag, J. Berman, Larkin Hendrix, 11. L. Pace, and Hugh McKeag, a commit tee to draft resolutions. After retiring a few moments, the committee returned and reported the following resolutions which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the county of Dade,,■ as a sovereign county, in the event that Charles J. McDonald is elected Gowern or, and the State should ihe Union, will, in the exercise of sovereign ty, absolve herself from all connexion with said state, and annex herself to the state of Tennessee. On motion, it was requested that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Cassville Standard. The meeting then adjourned. R. M. PARRIS, Ch’m. Dr. J. J. Brown, Sec’ry. Mov. diii(tu:tn-3lississi|)i>i- Cicui gin. YVe nnlue that it has been doubted whether Governor Quitman, lias actually reureo from the contest in Mississippi.— Indeed we have seen it positively denied. /t is sufficient to say that Governor Quit man has himself published a letter w ith drawing from the contest for the Execu tive chair, and assigning his reasons for doing so; the chief of which is, that the people in the late election for the State Governor, have decided against him, in regard to his views and objects, on llie great subject of agitation before the country. The laie decision of the people of Mis sissippi, has indeed been of a most forci ble character. The majorities in the leg islature and of the popular vote, are un.- prec'detited and overw helming, it com pletely settles the matter in that Stale, or at least proves beyond a doubt, that the election for Governor soon lo take place, will settle it, and conclusively. Col. Jef lerson Davis, we have seen it stated, w ill be run by the Si inherit Rights party, in the place of Governor Quitman. That party of course cannot be expected to abandon their cause, while a remnent of fiope for success exists. YY r e are rather pleased than otherwise with this deter mination. When Col* Davis is defeated by an overwhelming vote ol Mississippi, as he will be defeated should lie run, the question will be decisively settled in that State, and we may hope that agitation will cease there, as elsewheie at the South. Let the people of Georgia and Mississippi speak as their recent votes have proved they teel, on the great issue of llie day, at the next election fin Gover nors of these States, and we may hope that the hopelessness of future agitation will issue the future peace and tranquili ty ol the country. Will Georgia be be hind her sister Mississippi, in her popular majority on the first Monday in October next ? YY'e hope not—we believe not. From ihe Southern Recorder. Tlic Close ot (lie Cnmpcigu. The Uampeign, so far as argument is concerned, may be considered as closed* Those who have not now made op their opinions, after all the light pourd upon the matteis in issue before the country, will hardly be convinced either wax, at, this last hour of the cumesi. While therefore we have no further arguments to ofiVr, titan those which have already been before the people, mid con shlercd : il useless at this lute hour to reiterate e- j ven those, we will draft upon the patience : of our readers, while we oiler one sngges-1 lion, in relation to tfie importance of puiiftunlitv at the polls. We consider this suggestion as partic ularly needful, chiefly on one considera tion. / 1 is wo think very generally be- TERMS: $2 in Advance. lieved, that the triumph of the Constittt , tional Union party in Georgia will be most signal, at the opproaching election. May not the assurance of an easy victo ry, induce many to whom it may be somewhat inconvenient to attend the ! polls, or who may find it convenient on , other arenuuts not to do so, to* pretermit this duty? Ifitdoesso, the etiect, we cannot hut think, will be injurious every way. It is not enough for the good of the country that the Constitutional Un ion party should succeed, but that it should manifest its real strength at this e lection. The country requires quiet and repose, and an entire subsidence of the ncrimoninii collision which has so long and so injuriously affected our State. It it is time that the attention of our people, should be chiefly directed to the promotion us their own personal anti so cial interests. In order to this the public mind must be settled, in relation to llie subject which have so greatly agitated it. And this can only be done, by a manifttv, tot ion at the polls, of the hopelessness of further agitation, by a true and actual show of the will, of the great and over whelming majority, of tlje people. Os majority we do not etertain the shad ow of a doubt. And we only urge the attention of the people in the manner we do, that this majority may be shown, and by the conclusive proof of the hopeless ness of further agitation, end it; aud the country and the people be permitted once more to bend their undivided energies to the promotion of the interests of both. We have a country, that may he made the garden spot of the Union. Nature has lavished her means of prosperity and greatness upon our State, and it requiers but llie properly directed enetgy of oer people to hand it over to our children a legacy so great and desirable, as has rarly if ever been devised to posterity. It lias been only of late, that Georgia has sprung into the race of energy and enterprise, with her older and more ad vanced sisters. And within those few years, she has shown how much she can do, when her energies ate arroused.— Her internal improvements—her schemes of educational progress—the agricultural advances, and Iter prospective cominer, cial aggrandizement, are well calculated to cheer us on lo greater effort, for the exalation of our old and cherished moth er. All/thnt is wanting is the quiet, peaceful, undivided energies of or people, to the work of their own prosperity; and this it is hopeless to expect, while the public interests is absotbed, by excited polical agitation. Let the voice of Geor* gia be heard at the polls, as we confi dently believe is Iter will and decision, in regard lo the issues which has agitated our people,—let the majority which ac tually exits, be manifested at the polls, and we may anticipate with confidence, a subsidence of the recent agitation, and once more witness the energies and inter est of our people, directed to the promo tion of their own and their country’s piosperity and advancement. YVlio, with such results before them, will fail to be at the polls ? Who will at this crisis fail to cast in his mite towards restortion of public tranquility ?Who, on this most important of all elections, will throw away his right of suffrage and fail to do his part in settleing issues, which have involved the permanance even of our government itself? We think we may confidently answer, none who can by any means reach the polls. Gov McDonald’s Inhumanity* In the Lights, of Temperenre edited by Rev. James Young, Louinsville, Ky., there is a paper entitled *A Voice of Warning,’ by Judge A. B.
