WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16, ISSG.
Presidents Message.
To the exclusion of almost every tiling
else, we publish, to day, this important docu
ment, entire. We trust our readers will give
it a careful, and attentive perusal. The
takes a comprehensive view of every
•subject, of general interest to the people of
’this great Republic. His remarks upon our
various foreign relations, are concise, but
•cogent, explicit and pointed. lie however
•enlarges somewhat, upon the critical relations
•existing between our owu Government and
that of Great Britain, in respect to Central
American Affairs. He maks a bold *m]
conclusive argument in favor of the American
•construction of the Clayton and Buhver
•treaty. lie speaks in language that cannot
be misunderstood, and the conclusion to which
every candid man must arrive is irresistible
that in the hands of G eneral Pierce, the in
terests of our country and honor of our flag,
“will suffer no detriment. The condition of
*the Treasury, Navy, Army and Interior depart
ments are very appropriately brought in review,
; and our domestic relations generally receive
t -eir merited share of attention. But the
•most interesting portions cf the message are
‘those in which the Constitutional Theory of j
■our Government and the subject of slavery I
are extensively considered. Upon these points I
the President has displayed a familiarity i
with the history of our Government, which I
jvouldflo credit, to any statesman of this or:
any other age. On the subject of slavery,
bis views are all that the soundest southern
politician couldask. Even Mr. Calhoun him
self, never uttered sentiments more congenial i
with southern feeling,on this subject,than those !
•ennuncitated by Gen. Pierce, llis Inaugural!
and previous messages, on the subject,!
were satisfactory to every southern man,except |
those who are always bent upon making war j
upon a Democratic Administration right or j
wrong. But the late message is the crowning !
•; . ° ° j
act of his Administration, and even his most
unscrupulous enemies at the South speak of it;
in terms of commendation, or are mute in J
reference to the subject. That General Pierce J
deserves well of the South, and of the whole i
country, we are bold to affirm, and we have j
no doubt when the motley fusion of . ism# 1
North a id South,which have formed an unholy’
alliance to malign, detract, and make war
upon him, shall have gone
“Down to the vile dust, whence they sprung,
Unwept, unhoncred and unsung,”
bis memory will live in the recollections of a
.grateful people, and his name be inscribed
upon a bright page in his country’s history.
The high and lofty position occupied by Gen.
Pierce upon the subject of State rights and
Southern rights, speak loudly in behalf of
“his claims, for a renomination by the National
Democratic convention. Head the message,
•every body.
Important to Owners cf Copper
Mines.
On Saturday last we had the pleasure of a
visit from the lion Mr. Wood, Rep. from Fan
nin county, who showed us a letter from Mr.
Thos. H. Calloway, President of the Ocoee
Bank, at Cleveland Tenn. in which the writer
communicates some very important information
to persons interested in the Copper mining
lands. It is the fact, that a large amount of
copper ore has been considered, totally val
uless, because the yield of neat copper, would
not pay the expenses of mining and transpor
tation. This wc learn is the case with all ore
yielding less than 12 per cent of copper. The
process of smelting has been lately introduced
by the Eureka Mining Company, (says Mr.
Calloway,) one small furnace has been in op
eration fur a few weeks, consuming about five
cords of wood per day, producing two tons of
Pig Copper per day, worth sixty per cent of
Copper from ore containing only from eight to
’“jf’str/w* per cent of pbre metal. The copper
made by this process is worth in Baltimore
$250, per ton clear of expenses of transporta
tion, thus yielding to the Mining CQgftf.any
SSOO per day, with a small outlay of labor.
This unavailable ore, wholy valulcss heretofore,
exceeds in quantity the available ore four to
€, thus appreciating and making of immense
ic, vast tracts of the copper region, hereto-,
s considered worthless. Mr. Calloway is
endorsed, as a gentleman of truth and respecta
bility,by Capt. Morris Senator from Murray and
Col. Edmondson, a gentleman in the same
County, of the highest respectability, and we
doubt not his stab mints may be safely relied
on We state these facts for the benefit of those
who own lands in the copper region.

Our last advices from Washington, leave
things in statu quo, as regards the organiza
tion of the House. About one hundred
ballotings had been made, the result remaining
about the same. Banks, the abolitionist
receiving about 100 votes, Richardson Demo
j crat 73 and Fuller nondescript, about 30,
j sometimes a few over that figure. We rejoice
Ito learn that the Democracy stand last as

For the Empire State.
“For whilst such a message as this can come to
us from the mountains of New Hampshire, no sec
tional line divides the friends of the Constitution.”
—Sav. Daily Journal.
Is there a national party ? And as I ask the
question, an affirmative response comes up from
’ thousands of patriotic hearts, whose breasts now
j swell with anxiety for the welfare of their country.
Who of those that have witnessed for the last
month the state of things as they now exist in
I Washington City, without feeling alarm for the
prosperity of those institutions dear to every Soutli
i ern heart ? Disorganizing factions pervade the
House, and led on by that archfiend of hell, aboli
tionism, they would sec their country fall and her
I institutions crumble into dust! But with all these
j untoward circumstances, surrounded by an almost
I impenatrable darkness, a’gleam of moral-light now
i and then flashes up and reveals to the lover of his
country, cause for exultation and hope.
Democracy points to a band of men, though in
the minority, contesting step by step the advances
of an element now at work, which if successful
. must result in a dissolution of the Union.
As to the nationality of the Democratic Party,
ought not to admit of doubt, so plain and palpable
are the inferences which every American citizen
with reason ond reflection ought to draw, but there
often exists within the breast of a certain class of
men, who upon the disorganization of the party to
which they belong, a hatred to affiliation with a
party whose principles they believe right, but an
tecedent causes debar them from association with
those from whom they were once politically uliena
ated.
*lt k the pride of Democracy to feel tha'h her
principles arc coeval with the Union, and with
such men as Douglass, Cass, Richardson and Pierce
standing upon the broad platform of constitutional
rights, she presents herself as the only national
party upon whiclrdcpends the salvation of the
i country. I firmly believe there is nothing more
than old party hatred which debars the Southern
wing of the Know Nothing Party from affiliating
with the Democracy. Connected as I have been
with the American Party, 1 have seen its work
ings, and pointing to her leaders, I will name a
few prominent ones : Humphrey Marshall, of Ky.,
recognized in a late issue of the Savahnah Repub-
lican, as un old line whig ; Mr. Fuller, of Penn.,
Mr. Trippe, of Georgia, all old whigs, and to eve
ry reflective mind the inference to bedrawn is, that
the American Party savors strongly of Whiggcry.
Upon the disorganization of the whig party, un
mindful of the call, to rally under the folds of the
democratic flag, “snuffing treason in the tainted
air,” they found a more congenial place in the
ranks of the Know Nothing Order.
As love of country is uppermost in the patriot’s
breast, the attitude which the Southern Know
Nothing representatives bear to their constituents,
is an enigma to be solved, instead of consolidating
their vote with the Democracy, and placing in the
Speaker's chair a conservative man, they throw
away their votes upon a man who cannot be elect
cd, and indirectly working through a channel
whose influence must run toward the abolition can
didate, Banks ; but humiliating as the thought,
drawing a sectional line, they present to the coun
try a band of men in order to gratify a revengeful
party spirit, involving in point the dearest interests
of the country.
Thousands have watched their course, and those
that a few mmilhs ago elected them to offices which
they now filwmdcr present circumstances, would
vote to keep mem at home.
COMMON SENSE.
Meeting in Pike.
ZEBULON. GA., Jan. 8, 1856.

portion of the Democratic and anti-Know Noth
ing Party assembled in the court house to-day>

James Eppinger was chosen Chairman, and W. H.
F. Hall requested to act as Secretary. The Chair

sections of the Union.

us with the good wishes of the community,
for other spheres of labor and we trust more
extended usefulness. The latter gentleman
being the only one resident in our village, has
endeared himself to many by his faithful
pastorship, his unremiting zeal, and general
urbanity of manners The young especially,
in the sabbath school, have received much of
his attention, and will feel his loss. Our
benevolent Institutions will also be deprived
of a real efficient laborer in all their praise
worthy enterprises. Os the other gentlemen
accasioually among us,no doubt their respect

hard to fill. We understand that Prof. Smith
will be succeeded by Rev. Mr Simonton, who

Wlxat tile New Torlc City folks gay of Dr. Jlc-
Irhc’s Celebrated Vermifuge.
New York, August 25, 1852.
This is to certify that I am well acquainted wifli a mau
fifty years of age, for many years a resident of this city,who
has at times been extremely ill, hut could not tell from what
cause, unless it was worms. He toldhisattending physician
his suspicions, but the physician at once ridiculed the idea,
and refused to attend him any longer. His son then men
tioned Dr. McLana’s Vermifuge, and asked him if he would
take it ; liis reply was, I must take something to get relief,
or die.
They at once procured a bottle of Dr. McLane’s Celebrat
ed Vermifuge, and took one-half at one dose. The result
was, he passed upwards of three quarts of worms, cut up
in every form. He got well immediately, and is now enjoy,
ing most excellent health : and like the good Samaritan of
old, is endeavoring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors
He makes it his business to hunt up and select all cases sim
ilar to liis awn, that may be given over by the regular physi
cians, and induces them to try Dr. McLane’s Vermifuge
So far he has induced more than twenty persons to take the
Vermifuge, and inevero case with the most happy results.
He is well satisfied that Dr. McLane’s Vermifuge is far su
perior to any other known remedy, and that if more gener
ally known, would not fail to save main’ valuable lives. For
further particulars inquire of Mrs. Hardie. 124 J, Cannon
Street, New York City.
will be careful to ask for Dr. McLnne’s
Celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by Fleming

his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable

pressed in the strongest terms her wiiwigness to surrender
this .mortality, in full assurance of a blissful immortality
beyond thograve. She was an exemplary member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for five or six years, and in all
her walks was an admired and acceptable member, and ami
able lady. She has gone to the rest that awaits the finally

While angels to the tomb her spirit bears,
Dear kindred for her weep no tears.
But let the calm reflection cheer your hearts;
Herspint’s gone to Him from whom it never parts.
