Kansas Meeting in Fayetteville.
FATEriEviLLB, May 9th 1856.
Upon very short notice a respectable por
tion of the citizens of Fayette, assembled at
the Court House, for the purpose of hearing a
Kansas speech from Col. J, W, White. On
motion Dr. Win. Blalock was called to the
chair; and Q C Grice Esq. requested to act as
secretary. The object of the meeting bein
explained, Col. White, commenced his
which continued tor an hour or more—during
which time, he gave a lucid aud highly inter
esting account of Kansas, her climate, produc
tions &e. He, also, with peculiar pathos, ac
companied with that native eloquence that
never fails to carry conviction with it,
demonstrated the importance of the Southern
people, of Kansas being admitted as a slave
State. On motion, the following preamble
and resolutions, offered by Q. C. Grice Esq.
were read and adopted: Whereas the inhabi
tants of Kansas, will shortly apply for admis
sion into the Union, and Whereas, we as a por
tion of the Southern people, regard it as being
of the utmost importance, that it be admitted
as a slave State.
Be it therefore resolved: That WO the citi
zens of Fayette county Ga recognize the said
Territory of Kansas, as being the property of
‘-all the States without any sort of reservation
‘or equivocation whatsoever. Hence we earn
estly contend for and expect to sustain the
.just and equitable doctrine, that the Southern
4uan has the same right to enter Kansas with
tiis negro slave in order to develope the agricul
tural or mechanical sources of the country,
that the Yankee abolitionist has, to march in
Avith his onehorse load cf hams or nut megs for
the purpose of slide n the unsuspecting inhab
itants.
Resolved, That we will do all in our power
to counteract those vile schemes engendered
in the foul beds of fanaticism whose avowed
object is to defraud the South'-out of her just,
equitable and constitutional rights- Sharps
titles to the contrary notwithstanding.
Resolved, I hat the following comuiittec viz:
Wm .N Hill, Dr. J. S. Holiday, S F. Bla
lock, L. Glass and Thos, Whitaker be appoint
ed to piocure men aud means for Kansas and
report to the Chairman of this meeting on or
before the next con vocation.
Resolved, 1 hat our thanks are due Col.
White for his very gentlemanly deportment
while with U3 also tor Valuable information re
lative to KaUsas.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be forwarded to the Griffia papers with a
request that they publish the same. The
meeting then adjourned until the loth iust
at which time Mr White will be with us
again.

A Breeze in the Senate.
Washintox. May 2,185 G.
Ms. Cass asked and obtained permission to
address the Senate, on I hursday next, in de
fence of “squatter sovereignty,” which lmd
been assailed by Mr Brown.
Mr Seward replied to Mr Benjamin’s allu
sions to his political course.
Mr Hale alluding to what lie said, were
gros.dy personal attacks upon him in Mr. Clay’s
recent speech, remarked that he had but one
word to submit sti reply: That it will take
something besides malignity to redeem imbe
cility from cor.tempt!
Mr. Clay sprang to his feet, *>rcat-ly excited,
saying: I defy ike Senator’s malice as much
as I contemn his baseness. No man shall as
sail mv rights oT those of niv constituents, and
shirk his responsibility by skulking behiud a
plea of non-combatancy. If he had been ani
mated by those heroic feelings which he pro
fesses, he would i ot come upon this floor, and,
tinder the protection of its rules, seek 11111110’
nity for his insolence. I know lie is pleased
bv this attention. There are those of his class
who, like the London Attorney, Mark Meddle,
in the play, are ambi’ious of a kick. [Sensa
tion ]
He concluded by remarking that he had
nothing more to say to that Senator, having
twice declined his acquaintance, and he asked
pardon of the Senate for consuming so much
time about a Senator who soils the carpet up
on which he treads.
Mr. Hale replied that he had never sought
an introduction to him but once, and that was
on ‘professional business, for the benefit of a
citizen of. Alabama
Mr. Clay rejoined. He did not think his
reputation for veracity would suffer by con
flict with one who had repeatedly eaten his own
words.
Mr. Hale replied that if he did eat his own
words, lie would have a more palatable meal
than the Senator from Alabama, if he should
undertake to eat his [Laughter.]

pathizing with the people of Kansas ; condemning
the President for permitting the border outrages ;
opposing the introduction of any more slave
States ; urging resistance, by all proper means, to
the formation of new slave States ; favoring the

-Though’ it may seem strange to many who have not
seen it, yet there is no doubt of the fact, that Prof. Wood's
Hair Restorative will change grey hair to its original color,
and cause it-to.grow on heads entirely bald, and by a, few
applications, keep it from falling off. There was a time
when persons Who had lost their hair, were compelled to
wear wigs or go bald; but since the advent of Profesarir

The Cincinnati Slave Case.
Our readers have been informed of a recent in
stance of conflict of authority at Cincinnati, be
tween the courts of the State of Ohio and of the
United States, in the case of 11. 11. Itobiuson, Esq.
the U. S. Marshal, who was arraigned before the
Probate Court of Hamilton county, and commit
ted for contempt of Court in delivering the slaves
in the Cains ease to the owner, instead of obeying
the order of Judge Burgoync to bring the .ll before
the Probate Court upon a writ of habeas corpus.
The Marshal applied to the United States court
to be liberated; that court after a hearing, discharg
ed him from custody on the ground that he was
acting under the authority of the United States.
Judgo Leavett, in reviewing the argument that the
Fugitive Slave law was unconstitutional, said the
act was both valid and constitutional, und as such
must be respected and enforced. No Judge or
other officer of the State and national Cos /eminent
or any citizen of either, so far as tire rights of oth
ers are concerned, lias a right to act on his private
or individual views of the policy and validity of
the laws passed in conformity with the forms of
the Constitution. Until repeated or set aside, by
the adjudication of the proper tribunal, they must
have the force of law3 and be obeyed as such.—
Any other principle must lead to anarchy in its
worst form, and result inevitably in the overthrow
of our institutions. — Exchange.
Great Loss ix Produce.—lt is now stated that
the immense quantities of wheat purchased at Chi
cago, Milwaukee, and other points at the west last
full, said at the time to be on account of the French
Government, were in reality bought for parties in
Boston, New York, &c., who will “realise” a loss
of something near a million of dollars ! Millions
of bushels were purchased, expecting to realize an
immense profit.

Antidote for Poisons.— A correspondent of the
Loudon Literary Gazette, alluding to the numer
ous cases of devth from accidental poisoning, adds.
‘I ventu- e to affirm there is scarce even a cottage in
this country that does not contain an invaluable,
certain, immediate remedy for such events, nothing
more than a dessertspoonful of mustard, mixed in
a tumbler of warm water, hud drank immediately
It acts as an emetic, is always ready, and may be
used with safety in any case where one is requir
ed.”

Nine Safe Bets.
Fixe Opening Foh the Capitalists of the
Opposition . - The chief argument used against
the re-nomination of Gen. Pierce in the south
ern states, and especially in Virginia, has been
his supposed want of availability at the present
juncture. If he fails to receive the vote of
Virginia at Cincinnati, it must be set down to
this belief, which has been artfully engraved on
the minds of the people, more than tcTall other
considerations combined. For, leaving her own
sons out of the qustion there is no doubt that
he would command eight-tenths of the demo
cratic strength of the state, over any other
man lor the nomination.
A warm supporter of ’Gen- Pierce, iu this
vicinity, who is a man of eminent sagacity, and
always fully up with the times, by way of sho
wing his confidence in Gen. Pierce’s availability
authorises us to make the following proposal.
The name of the gentleman can be had at this
office by parties desiriug to make an investment
.1 I will bet $250 that the vote of Penns
ylvania in the next Presidential election will
be given to Gen- Pierce, should he be the nom
inee of the Democratic Convention, to assem
ble in Cincinnati on the sth of June next.
2. The same amount ou the same terms as to
Nfiw Hampshire.
3. The same amount on the same terms as to

4. The same amount 011 the same terms as to
Connecticut.
5. The same amount on the same terms as to
New Jersey.
6. The same amount on the same terras as
to Illinois.
I. The same amouut on the same terms as
to Indiana
8. I will bet SI,OOO, that should Gen
Pierae be the nominee of the Democratic Con
vcmion, he will be the next President of the
United States.
9. I will bet SI,OOO that tile nominee, wheth
er Geu Pierce or not, will be elected.
These several bets may be accepted as a
whole, or any one of them may be accepted
separately; or the accepter may group any
two or mure of them together to suit himself.

Or. lU’Laiie’a Vermifuge aavayr resorted to vvlien
every other Remedy falls.
New York, September 15,1552.
This is to certify that my child, three years old, was
troubled with worms some sik months. I had tried several
kinds of medicine, but none of them done any good; and it
1 was not until I tried Dr, M’Lane’s celebrated Vermifuge,
that she found any relief; I gave her the contents of one
bottle, which brought from her a very large quantity of
worms, but they were so completely cut to pieces it was
impossible to count them. My daughter is doing well;
indeed she is totnpletly restored to health. I therefore
take pleasure in rfccommendig it to parents, I would say,
by all mentis keep a supply of this vaiuable medicine con
stantly In .Vour houses- I have known many children to
tlie suddenly from the effects of worms. It also not unfre
quentLy happens that children are treated for croup, when
the choking and coughing is caused altogether by the ir
ritation of worms. Therefore, we say again, keep it always
in the house; it costs but little, and may Ihj the means of
saving life; and at any rate it will save physicians’ bills.

F., the undersigned were appointed a committee to draft
appropriate resolutions on the death of our worthy brother,
W. A. Piter. And they now respectfully submit the fol
lowing report:—
Wkehras In the inscrutable, yet just and merciful ways
of Divine Providence, it has pleased God, to sever another
bright link from the chain of fellowship, that binds us to
gether in the bonds of Friendship, Love and Truth—to
take one more from our loved circle, and leave a void in
onr hearts, never to be filled. Be it therefore
Resolved Ist, That in the death of our much loved broth
er, W. A. Piper, Warren Lodge has sustained no ordinary
loss—a loss long to be remembered and severely felt. As
an Odd Fellow,while in health, he was faithful in ever}- duty
imposed upon him, by our laws. Ever ready to vindi
cate by practice, the objects of our Order. True to his ob
ligation, his hand and heart were ever open to a distressed
brother ; and though his scathe now vacant in the Lodge
yet will memory endow it with cherished recollections never
to be forgotten ; and we can only render this last sad tri
bute to one, whom in life, we loved, whom in death we
mourn, not as one lost,but “only gone before.”
2nd. That brother Piper, in life, bore the character of a
Valuable citizen, kind neighbor,and tender and affectionate
husband ; and that this community, his intimate friends,
and his bereaved and stricken wife, suffer in common with
our Lodge, and mourn the sudden dispensation that has
called from our midst, one whom we all so dearly loved and
prized.
3id. That we offer to his mourning and stricken family,
our heart felt sympathies in this theirhour of trial and sad
ness, and that the Secretary be instructed to furnish them
with a copy of these resolutions.
4tk. That we will wear the usual badge of mourniug for
the space of thirty days.
stli. That these resolutions be published in the city papers.
