(fcmptt Utaie. GRIFFIN-, GEORGIA. 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.

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. According to notice previously given, a large portion of the Democratic and anti-Know Noth ing Party assembled in the court house to-day> when on motion of Col. Hartford Green, Judge James Eppinger was chosen Chairman, and W. H. F. Hall requested to act as Secretary. The Chair man appropriately and briefly stated the object of the meeting to be the appointment of Delegates to represent this county in the convention to assemble at Milledgeville on the 15th inst., for the purpose of selecting Delegates to represent the Democratic and anti-Know Nothing Party, of Georgia in the next National Democratic Convention to assemble at Cincinnatti. On motion of John Neal, Esq., Col O. C. Gib son and Dr. John G. Caldwell, the Senator and Representative of this county, were requested to act as Delegates in the approaching Convention. The following resolutions were submitted by J. Neal, Fsq : Resolved, That wc have watched with interest, and approve mast unequivically the course pursued by those patriotic men in Congress who day after day have supported the Hon. Wm. A . Richardson for speaker, thereby showing most clearly their de termination to maintain and support the Constitu tion of the United States, and the interests of all sections of the Union. Resolved, That we have read with pleasure and satisfaction, the late Message of President Pierce, maintaining as it does, with marked ability, the great principles of the Constitution. On motion cf Col. Green, the resolutions were unanimously adopted : On motion of Dr. Banks, the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to be published iu the Fed eral Union and Empire State. On motion, the meeting adjourned. JAIMES EPPINGER, Chairman. Wji. 11. F. Hall, Secretary. Ministeral damages. Rev. Messers Smith, Refinings and Key, have respectively preached theirlastsermonsto their congregations in this place. They leave 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 ive churches will feel, that their places will be hard to fill. We understand that Prof. Smith will be succeeded by Rev. Mr Simonton, who takes charge also of the Presbyterian church iu Mt. Zion. Central Georgian. 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 Bros,, Pittsburg, Pn. All other Vermifuges iu compar ison are worthless. Dr. McLane’s genuine Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stoi cs.
