Messrs. Dickinsol* and Bronson.
The authorities most frequently quoted by our
opponents during the last several years, says the
Savannah Georgian & J ournal, have been Messrs*
Dickinson and Bronson, of New York. Excellent
authorities they were, too, as we have ever felt
even when we thought them in error. We think
so still. As patriots they are firm as a rock, true
as steel. It is not often that the opponents of the
Democracy can refer to such respectable names. —
We hope they will continue tp recognize Such au*
thority. Let us then commend to their consider*
ation the last expression of Messrs. Dfckirison and
Bronson's views. - ‘
The former in a letter to the New York ratifiea
sion meeting, speaks as follows :
MR. DICKINSON *8 .VIEWS.
“The ticket will be elected, but not without a
struggle—it will be bitterly but unsuccessfully op
posed. It will concentrate in opposition all the
bad elements which the degenerate spirit of the
times has suffered to breed in the hot bed of fac
tion—in the nursery of “faslse doctrine, luresy
and ism.” It will summon to its support and unite
in one grand and powerful column, not only the
entire Democratic strength of the Union, but a
large class of citizens who. exempt from the asso
ciations of party, desire to see their beloved coun
try occupy her own proud eminencf among the
Nations of the earth ; desire to see her great and
•diversified interests protected.; to secure for her
•people the b’essings of honorable peace and ex
emption from sectional feuds, and finally, to see
the-blessings of a Constitutional Union perpetuat
ed forever. ‘ -t ■ ‘ ”
FROM THE HON. GREENE C. BRONSON.
New York, June 11, 1856.
Gentlemen : Nothing could be better than the
action of the Cincinnatti Convention, and my
heart will be with the great company which will
assemble in the Park this evening to respond to
the nomination of James Buchanan, of Pennsylva
nia, and John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky.—
We have a platform as broad as the Union, and
candidates who are not only above reproach, but.
eminently qualified for the stations which they are
to occupy. And besides, the foundation has been
laid sos the cordial re-union of all that is sound in
the Democratic Party, and the places of the few
who have gone over to the enemy, will be much
more than filled by good citizens from other quar
ters, who see nothing but danger to the country in
the movement of their former associates, and are
resolved t’o stand fast to the Constitution. Let us
hear no more by way of reproach about “ Hards”
atd “Softs,” and former dissensions, but buckle on
our armor and contend manfully for the principles
which He at the foundation of the national com
pact. We shall then not only deserve, but shall
achieve a noble victory.
* Respectfully yours,
Greene C. Bronson.
The Wilkes Republican.
This journal, which was a devoted Know Noth
ing paper last year,says the Augusta Constitution
alist, noticing the tendency ot the party to which
it has been identified, has-cut loose from them, and
hoisted the Democrati flag. The editor says :
“Let us look at the positions of the two parties
as sot forth in their respective platforms, and judge
accordingly. The American Party held their Con
vention and put forth a platform which, so far as
the slavery question is concerned, cannot meet the
sanction of any friend of the South It repudiat
ed the 12th sectioy of the Philadelphia Platform
adopted by the party in June, 1855, which pledg
ed the party to abide by the Compromises of Con
gress upon the question. And not content with
this, they repudiate the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and denounce the President for sanc
tioning that measure! This, then, is the position
of the American Party, as set forth iu their last
platform upon this issue.
“Let us now turn to the position of the Nation
al Democratic Party upon the same question. In
their platform they do not dodge the point, but
come out boldly, and fearlessly declare themselves
in favor of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, which in
cludes the Missouri Compromise, and deny the
right of Congress to interfere with the question of
slavery in the States or Territories. They plant
themselves upon the great constitutional doctrine
of the equality of the States. This doctrine of
■equality of States, we regard as the great question
to be settled by the next Presidential contest, and
upon this the Democratic Party has planted itself,
and goes before the. American people to battle.—
The one party is sectional and at war with the
Constitution of the Government uuder which we
live. The other is national and conservative. The
one is moving heaven and earth to undermine the
Constitution, and sap.the foundation of the Gov
ernment, to rob the South of her constitutional
rights, and degrade us to the position of vassals iu
the Union. The other is doing battle in defence
of those rights, and for the protection of the Union
and the Constitution. Which of the two com
mends itself to the support of Southern men ?
Bhall we fight for, and beside our friends, or shall
we take position with the enemy ? For ourselves,
our mind is made up. The cause of the country,
and the Constitution is our cause. We can see no
hope for peace no prospeet for the preservation of
the Union, and the Goverrment under which we
have grown to be a great and powerful Nation,
save in the success of the Democratic Party.
“We care.nothing for names. ‘Principles and
the proper men to carry out those principles,” are
all we ask for. We think we have both offered us
in the Democratic Platform and its nominees, avd
entertaining the views we do, and for reasons in
part set forth in the foregoing remarks, we this
week throw our banner to the breeze, with the
names of Buchanan and Breckeuridge inscribed
thereon, resolved to do battle in tbeir behalf, sat
isfied that in supporting them we are at the same
time contributing to the best of our humble abili
ty, to the perpetuity of the Government, and the
preservation of the Constitution, the basis of that
Government.’’

Whhh I torotte last I was in the Territory of
Kansas. Now, raise your imagination to the
highest degree and perceive standing before
yon a figure dressed in a red flannel shirt,
black pants, cknli cap, and a pair of Water
proof boots, with the pauts stuck inside, rifle
on his shoulder, pair of repeaters, and an Ar
kansas tooth-pick in a belt around his waist,
and you have the subscriber as he arrived he e
on Saturday, frotn'the Territory I sent yon
a paper with tire particulars of the taking of
Lawrence. The cowardly Free State Men
would not fight us then : but since the Mar
shal disbanded us, they have gone to murder
ing . On Saturday night last, about 12 o’clock,
a party of 20 abolition sts entered.the house
of Mr. Allen Wilkinson, and iu spite of the
entreaties of his wife, dragged him out of his
bed and brutally murdered him ; they then
went to the house of an old man named Doyle
and murdered him and his two sons ; they
next weut to a Mr. Sherman’s, where they
murdered three mote men The only reason
that can be assigned for this eold-blojded atro
city, is, that the abolitionists (the Court being
in session,) were afraid that these men would
be called upon to give evidence against them,
as many of them were charged with treason.
Again, at Hickory Point, K T , they have
driven off tlie pro-slavery men, and bnriu their
houses, and stolen their provisions and hovses.
A party will be ready logo back m the I er
ritory to morrouj and every Free State Man
they meet, will be-hung on a tree for the bene
fit *d the birds of the air Kansas is bound
to be a slavq Mate, but let the South not
slacken in her ardor to make it so. We want
more men ; and if there is one Southerner who
‘would not coine to revenge his murdered
brethren,.let him be cursed while living, and
when dead, let him be buried with his face
downwards.
On our w ay back, we were met by Mr. Ro
binson, (would-be Governor of Kansas Terri-
a prisoner in the bands of Southern
men. He asked about his hoiise. He was
told that after the law and order party left
Lawrence, some of the abolitionists set it on
fire to make capital. Thai is true. He had
nothing more to say.

Freedom,” Lawrence, one of the offices which
were destroyed that day Perhaps you may
see it ina year or two —perhaps not.
Kansas is a beautiful country —the soil be
ing three feet deep. Traveling in Kansas is
like traveling on sea ; on the latter you see
nothing but sky and water ; in the former
nothing but the high prairie grass and sky.—
Often for miles you will not see a tree i>end
Dr. T. out here ; snakes are plentiful and de
mand limited. I suppose our company must
have killed at least one hundred the other day
ingoing abo. t six miles Indians are plenti
ful also, and almost every one has a papei re
presenting that he is a Chief, and on liis way
to Washington. When our company first
camped in the Territory, about u mile and a
half from Westport, we were visited by two
—man and woman—who jumped the fence and
came towards us When they came up, the
old man drew a paper oa us, asking f r mo
ney, vhich we gave them Altera while the
boys went to town, and left me to mind the
tents. While laying down, I heard someone
say whoo ! and on looking up, i saw a big In
dian Chief, with his face painted, his head all
shaved, except a top knot, with a tomahawk
st< ck iu o.s beit, riugs iu his ears and nose,
scud claws around his tie* k I grabbed my ri
fle and jumped up aud shook hands with him ;
he wanted money, aud of course I gave it to
him tc get clear of him Saturday is a great
day with them ; they all get dru k, and you
can see two on a little mule charging down the
road as hard as they can go. As for the
squaws,there is nothing about them to interest
you ; broad, flat face, and no shape at all.—

A Valuable Recruit We are glad to
notice that the North Georgia Times, published
at Dalton and originally a Deino ratio paper,
but,in the last canvass advocate of the Know
Nothing cause, has at length renounced Know
Noihiugisui, and raised to t e ma-t-liead the

do good service in the comi ig contest. — Atlan

We have before us the able report of tho
Comptroller We avail our.>e ves of some of
ts valuable data, and shall endeavor in a few
numbers t> present to our readers some, we
trost, interesting views of our social and politi
cal condition.
During the last four years, the assessed
acres, of land have increased eight millions
of acres, or at the rate of two millions of acres
per year, while the value of said land has beeu
increased to twenty five millions of dollars ?
or at the rate ot six and a quarter millions of
dollar s per year !
We have examined the reports of several
States of the Unn.u, and we are at liberty to
say that thi'is aif astonishing increase and
vastly b yniid the rates of luids assessi and in ai y
Southern State.
The average value of land per acre, which in
1852 was onlv 87 1-2 cents is now $1.28.
The number of negroes assessed have
iucre sed in ;he last four years twenty s>ven
thousand and a value equal io twenty-three
millions of dollars added to the slave capital
of the ;'t. te.
We turn to the census and find that in 1850,
there were only fifty thousand slaves in the
S ate. Here then in five years we have more
than doubled our- 6lave population. Can any
State of the Uuion show a similar conditiou
of things ? - Mot oue Texas State Gazette.

Whereas, we have recently heard of the death of one of
Georgia’s noblest sons, in whom we recognized our most
WorsliipfulGrand Master of the Grand Lodge of Georgia:
And whereas a dark cloud is upon the eastern horison, the
great source of Light, which is ever omnious of the approa
ching of Masonic troubles. And whereas we see the Craft
throughout the Mystic circle of Georgia dressad in white
Gloves and white Aprons- yea, we see them in deep
monrning full of sorrow and saduess. Therefore, we all
exclaim with one accord—what mean all this confusion ?
Echo answers—our Grand Master is missing—yea, William
C. Dawson is no more.
There is hope of a tree if it be cut down, that it will
spout again, and and that the tender branch thereof will
not cease—butr-man dieth and waisteth away, yea man
giveth up the ghost and where is he. Therefore
Resolved. That we deeply coudole with our Masonic
brethren throughout the State, with the bereaved family
relatives and with the people of the State of Geoargia at
large who have sustained a. serious loss in the death of our
highly esteemed Statesman and brother, Wm. C. Daw
son.
Resolved, That the Jewels of this Lodge be clothed in
appropriate mourning until the next regular communica
tion of the Grand Lodge.
Resolved, That a copy of the above preamble and resolu
tions be forwarded to the family of the deceesed under the

COTTON HARVESTER, FOR PICKING
COTTON IN THE FIELD.
rpHIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of
JL ths Cotton Gin, is destined tp produce a remarkable
c,hsuriS|fWH method of gathering cotton from the field
It will do tii£ work of from three to five hands in picking
cotti>ii from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma
chine. ‘ Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks
the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra
pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his
crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the
improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general
arrangement of the Plantation.
It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a
strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank
turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma
chine is its leading feature—it is not liable. to get out of or
der, and of ordinary capacity, is competent to
use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series
of years.
We are now selling State and County Rights for the man
ufacture and use of the above machine. Any information
relative thereto.can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbur,
General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro

Prof; O. J. Wood—Dear Sir : Unsolicited, M*nd you this
certificate b After bfeibg nearly bald for a Imig time, and
baviiigHried all the hair restoratives extant, and having no
faith in any, 1 was induced on hearing of yours, to give it
a trial. • I placed myself in the hands of a barber, and bad
my head rubbed with a good stittbrush, and the restorative-,
then applied, and well, rubbed in, till the scalp was a glow.
This f repeated every morning', and in three weeks the.
young biiifrappeared, and grew rapidly from August last,
till the prsent time, and is now thick, black ai.tbstrong—
soft and pleasant to the topefi ; wherea*. beftue ftsw.tfarshi
and why, what little there was of it, and that little was dis
appearing very rapidly. I still use your restorative about
twice a week, and sha*ll soon have a good and pet feet crop
of hair.. Now if I had read of these things, and who has
not? buth?e not seen hitherto any case where any per
son’s hair was really benetitted by any of the hair tonics,
Ac., of the day, audit really gives me pleasure to record,
the result of iny experience. 1 have recommended your
preparation to* others, and it.already has a large andf-geii
eraisale throughout’ the Territory. The people here know
its effects,and have confidence in it. The supply von sent
us, as wholesale agents for the Territory, is nearly'exhaust
ed, and daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit
for your discovery ; arid I, for one, return you my thanks
for the benefit it has done me, for I certainly had despaired
long ago of ever effecting any such result. ■ *
