We believe the people of Georgia and Ala bama expected their respective Legislatives to do something to arrest the aggressions of the abolition fanaiicism before they adjourned. The Governor of Georgia, during the canvass pledged himself to bring the subject before the Legislature, lie redeemed his pledge. The Democratic onvention which nominated him, pledged the party to adopt rctulitory measures against certain Northern States which had practically nullified the fugitive Slave law, provided the same should be found, upon examination, to be constitutional. Two bills were offered in the House, one by Jones of Muscogee, and the other by Crook of Chat tooga, both constitutional, we believe, and yet. both were defeated by very large majorities. The recommendation of the Governor himself, though they related only to such Legislation as would put Georgia in condition to earn in to effect the resolves of tae Georgia Conven tion, have not yet been, and, we presume, will n tbe acted upon.* This patient forbearance under ihe deepest injuries on t e part of the south is really inexplicable; especially in con next, on with the ferocious advances abobtion isin has made during the last winter. Our readers must draw upon their memories for the sickening deta l; we have no heart for a repetition of the record It must suffice to say that the House of Representative of the Unit ed States i- in the hands of the abolitioni.-ts; that the nullifying laws of Massachusetts and Vermont are still of force; that the Govern ment and laws are set at defiance by the hir ed myrmidons of fanaticism in Kansas; that the .-lavees of a minister of the Un ted States were but recently abducted from him by an armed mob; tnat sharp’s rifles are iccommend ed fr >m the northern pulpit as the best reme dy for evisting ills; and worse than 11, that tiiose mo i deeply interested in the arrest of fanaticism are . opareutiy wholy indifferent to its onward advance In the f ce of all tin se portentous s gns, the Legislatures of nearly ail the Southern States have been iu session and not a blow has beeu struck for Southern rights by any one of them, •.veil * eorgia refused lo appropriate a few thousand dollars io aid her citizens in emigrat ing to Kansas, where th, advanced guards of the two hostile sections are now facing each other on the eve of i e great battle which is to decide the fate of the South, and may be, of the Union. nere s Uofl in Heaven,or we would des ! pair of the Republic. Ii may lie that in our extremity He may come to our rescue. .ut is it not more manly to put our shoulders to [the wheel, befote we call on Him to help us? In the absence of Legislative aid, what oug *t to be don by our people ? leariy, they ought to help tiiemseivcs. Their sa.va ti n is in their own baud’ Kansas is yet. 0, 011 to Southern settlement. Let us go up and take ihe land. (toe thousand bold, determiu- j ed a.dl true Southern men we are assured, can li .Id the ter. itory against any force our enemies can send against us. If we can - ecure Kalis is, the South will regain her equality in toe Senate andean thereby save her own rights from further invasion and, may be, the Union from dissolution. Tell uS not that Kansas will be a slave hold ing State, if slavery cm be profitably employ ed there This is a fatal delusion, tinder its charm, we lost C lifornia, with all its teeming mines. 110 so brazen as to say that Califor nia is unsuited to slave labor. No, slavary! ■ will go no where unless the masters of slaves : carry the institution along with them. Let I j us then act like men, and by concerted effort, raise the men and money by private effort which are needed to hold against the world this, our Thermopylae The work can be easily accomplished Sure ly, every county in Georgia can rai-e SSOO, and ten men, for so great and glorious an e ter prise. This will place eleven hundred and twenty Georgians in Kansas, and secure the State to the South. But one or two months are left for this great work.. There is a tide in the affairs of mcri, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows, and in miseries, On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. The tide now rolls by ns; it will ebb 11 the next summer; and if the South does not ‘take the current when it serves/ we look with absolute horro.i on the gloomy future of our native land. Abolitionism has no pity, is restrained by no law; and in a few years, say 20 at most, it will, unless resisted now and conquered now, sway the scepter over this fair land and either rule fir ruin it In view of the imminent peril of our condi tion, may we not, venture to suggest, that the members of the Legislature will, before they disperse, organize a State Emigrant Aid Society, with thcu'ovenor of Georgia at its head,.and pledge themselves to each other, to organize an auxiliary society in each of the counties of the State, and resolve to raise a thousand men by the first of April, fully armed and equipped, to go to Kansas ? We have heard it suggested that such action #n the part of tifie South would give new energy to the spirit of. abolitionism and that aAhe North is strong: than The South the result fatal T®6puthern intrests. To these timidWcn, recommend a reperu saT of the history of our revolution. The race is not always,to the swift, no%*tlfe battle to the-strong, but to the tho active and the brave. • w But these gentlemen are entirely mistaken in the tawtive force of the two sections, as well as of effect of a manly assertion of Our rights — Exchamge. *The committe reported, we are happy to learn, on the 19th iust, % Death of a Georgian in Missouri. Carxesville, Ga. Feb. 28, 1856. Messrs Hill 4* Sledge: —I have received a letter, addressed to me as Sheriff of this coun ty, from a gentleman signing his name O. H. P. Banks, written from Dover, Missouri, dat ed Feb. 11th, 1856, stating that a young man by the name of Strickland or Striklin, (given name not recollected,) died on board the steamboat Star of the West, a short time since, leaving considerable effects in his posses sion, belonging to himself and a deceased com rade. A committee of passengers was held, and his effects placed in the hands of a man by the name of Dr James Russel’, who was to give public notice of the Circumstances through the public prints. Dr. Russell, Mr. Banks writes, has failed to do so, for some reason known to himself, and speaks soon of moving to Texas. Mr. Banks informs me that the deceased Mr Stricklin was from Georgia. The object of this communication is, if Mr. Stricklin has any relations and friends in Georgia, that they may know of his death, and who has his effects. Mr Russell lives at a place called Dover, in the State of Missouri. I am aware that there is a large connexion of Stricklins in the counties of Madison, Jackson and Forsyth. You will confer a favor per haps on the friends of the deceased, by giving this communication a place in your paper, and ask other papers in the State to copy. JAS. H CHAPPLFAR. Sheriff of Franklin county, Ga. From the New Orleans Picayune, March 5. Tlie Arraignment of W illiam 11. Gar land. Bail $500,000. A rumor which prevailed yes terday morning, to the effect that Wm. 11. Gar land, the impeached ex-Treasurer of New Orleans, was to be I#.ken before Recorder Bright for ar raignment, brought quite a crowd of the curious around the office. As he entered the court room we noticed that his step had lost something of its wonted firmness. His face was pale, and there was a world of mean ing—aye, of agony !—in the convulsive move ments of the muscles around his mouth and eyes. Although he had not been subjected to the prying gaze of an eager crowd, still a consciousness of shame rested, like an incubus upon him, and his eye-lids fell whenever lie caught a glance of pitying recognition from one he knew, and had known when his hopes were brighter. The Recorder, after the prisoner had taken his stand in the criminal’s dock—the same dock in which vagrants, burglars and murderers have stood -—read tire first affidavit which had been made against the prisoner by the Chairman of tlie Fi nance Committee of the Common Council. This affidavit charges that Win. H. Garland, while en trusted with the safe keeping and disbursement of tlie city revenues, did on divers times, fraudulently and feloniously embezzle and convert to his own use, $25,000 and upwards, of moneys belonging to the city. All affidavits subsequently deposed to by the same parties, increased the charge to over $200,000 as the amount embezzled by the. accused. When asked whether lie pleaded guilty or not guilty, the prisoner, in a very low tone of voice, said “not guilty,” and asked for time to consult his legal advisers, Messrs. Logan Hunter and Randall Hunt. As to the bail, the Recorder said he had fixed it at $500,000. that being about twice the amount alleged to have been embezzled. The bail of the other parties, Bitfield & McFarlane, was fixed at $25,000 each. When the prisoner was about to turn away for the purpose of being led back to prison, the Re corder observed, ‘'You will excuse me, Mr. Car land, for travelling so far out of the record as to express my deep regret at finding you in this posi tion. My duties as a magistrate, however must not be influenced by my feelings as a man.” Something like a tear glistened for a moment in the prisoner's eye when he heard this, and in turn ing, he drew his hat down on his brow, and walked away in silence. A Certificate from one of oar ‘WiHiamslbargfriemls New Youk, August 30, 1852. S3L. I hope every one whether adult or child, who may have reason to believe they are troubled with worms, will take Dr M Clane's Celebrated Vermifuge. 1 firmly believe it is one of the greatest worm destroyers of the age—certain ly tbe most extraordinary 1 know of. A child ofmine, about live years old, lias been troubled With worms about six months back; we could get nothing to relieve it until we came across Dr. M'ClaneV Vermifuge, of winch we gave but a small quantity. The result, howev er, was extraordinary. The ChikUpas.-cd over three hun- I di ed worms. MR. LENT, Williamsburg, Long Island, 1 SB.Persons will be careful to ask for DR.

Died at his residence in Monroe county, on the 9th hist., Jonh Howard, aged 71 years. Mr. Howard died in the midst of his children, soothed in his declining moments by their affectionate and careful attentions. He was a mem ber of the Masonic Order of Knight Templars, and we be lieve, identified in religious faith with the Baptist denomi nation. Full of honors and ripe with years, is spirit lias departed for that happy abode where the “wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. Died in Henry county, on the 20th of February, of scar let fever, Susan Tucker, in the 14th year of her age— daughter of Caroline Tucker. She professed a change of heart, but had never united with the Church. She gave ev idence on her deathbed that all was yet well, that the mer its of a Crucified Lamb were sufficient to cleanse her from all sin. Possessed of a noble, generous heart, she has won for herself the esteem and admiration of many ; and tho gone, the memory of Suckey still liveth. Yes, dear com panions of by gone years can scarcely realize thy depart’ ure so young in years. Sleep on, departed one, till the res. urrection morn ; then we hope to meet thee around the great white throne to chant unending anthems of praise to Father,Son and Holy Ghost. A Friend. In Barnesville, Pike county, on the 25tli day of Feb. Mr Charles Turner, in the 46th year of his age. He . s been a citizen of his adopted villege for the last 22 years. lie leaves an offectionate companion, and six interesting chil dren, sorely afflicted by his departure. Mr, Turner was distinquished for a kind and amiabl e disposition and a manifest desire to see every ..son com sortable and happy. He was a man m■ <. se, good jud ment, and unquestionable integrity, lie d-d uch to build up Barnesville—more, perhaps,limn nyo n w living. Several years before his death, he >'. ,;d to have a hope in Christ, but considered t • t sacred and holy for one so unworthy as him ( . ar iy , Jar t 0 f his last illness, lie decided it wa , yp. j j u the Bail tint Church, but never afterwards hud -tiengtii to discharge that duty.
