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. Our space here w ill not

by ilfl use, but we would present the following opinions
of eminent men, and refer further enouiry to the circular

IBlcdovald AND DISUNION.
Irieoas us Gov. 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.

was made bv Governor McDonald that

it was not quite so good Union ground
as he desired.

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

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.

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

We consider this suggestion as partic

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.
