breast; they continued to increase in size, until the whole
breast became a diseased ttiassjahd very painful, 1 procured
the best medical aid in the city bf koine, anil notwithstanding
the earnest imd faithful attention of our most skillful physi

gaVe the case up as incurable, and advised amputation. 1
was adVised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of
Griffin, Ga., which 1 did, and, astonishing as it may seem,
he hod her entirely cured within one month, and .the is note

Democratic Meeting in Meawtther.
At a very large meeting of the Demociatic
Party in Greenville; on Tuesday, the Ist of Ju
ly, Dr. H. S. Wimbish was called to the Chair,
and Win. C. Bray appointed Secretary. Af
ter a few appropriate remarks from Dr. YViru
bish, Col. McMath moved that the Chair ap
point a committee of five to draft resolutions
for the consideration of the meeting. The
Chair appointed Col. McMath, Judge Warner,
Thornton Pope, and H. Gaston. Several
gentlemen beiiig balled upon to r peak, respond
ed ill an able manner—(3ol AlcVath,
Wahier, Mr. Ai vinder Dali, an old line
Whig, and Mr. Underwood a regular Know
Nothing. The following preamble and reso
lutions were then read and adopted :
Whereas, The Democratic Party of Meri
wether county hail with rt ntie satisfaction, the
nominations recently made by the Ciiiciuuati
Convention, and believe that thohien then and
there presented, are eminently worthy the sup
port of the whole South, and wou and avail
themselves of this opportunity to i vite the
co-opetation us all their fellow-ciuze is, who
are willing, to unite with them in the battle
about to be fought in behalf of the Coustitu
ti'on and equality oi fights among the several
States. Be it therefore
Ilesolved, That we cordially approve of the
platform ami principles oi the National Demo
cratic Convention adopted at Cihcihii U .li i and
commend it to the calm consideration ahd ear
nest, support of every sound man in the Union.
Resolved, That we heartily approve the
nominations of James Buchanan and John O
Breckenridge, as candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States, and
ive Will use all honorable means to secure their
election.
Resolved, Thdt in the Opinioti of this Meet
ing, the administration of President Pierce has
been distinguished for an unfaltering devotion
to the Constitution of the country, aud asem
phiotiG fegard for our national honor, and that
the South owes him a debt of undying grati
tude for l.is fi-ni and manly support of their
just and constitutional rights, amid the fierce
storms of fanaticism through which he has
guided the ship of State.
Kesolved, Thatlhe Chairman of the meet
ing appoint thirty Delegates to attend the De
mocratic Convention to be held in Milledge
ville on the 4th of July. The t hair appoint
ed the following genllemeil :

Hear an Old Line Whig.
We commend to Old Line Whigs and Un
ion men, the following, which is communicated
to the Constitutionalist by au ‘Old Line
V \ big.’
But I do uot address you merely to congrat
ulate you, and cordially approve and endorse
the jtlallonii and candidates of the party. I
address you, also, for another purpose—at and
it is, to offer to you and your readers a little
history o-’ the past, and to refiesh and set a
few Kijjw Nothings ("formerly Union men,
ttiid Buchanan men in I860) who, either obvi
ously and ignorantly, or wilfully, have lately
attempted to mislead the public mind as to
Mr. Bliclittnan’s past aiid present views in re
lation to the Missouri Compromise, and his
course towards the South. ‘Why Mr. Editor,
it was because of Mr Buchanan’s then well
known high, elevated, and truly conservative
position, and his sympathy for the iSouth in
1860, that from all appeafelices at lie time,
made him the choice, the first choice, of tlm
Union Men of Georgia, for the Presidency.
It was his position, und advocacy of the doc
trines he iifcfW maintains, that made a very
large majority of the Union men, in 1850, then
greatly prefer him even to Mr. F illmorc, even
though Mr. Fillmore was then the President.
“All, or nearly all,” seemed to be for Buch
anan, at the Georgia CoffveutiOn,’ in 1850,
for I was there myself, While I lu ard, not one,
not even one, tvho was then for Fillmore-even
though he had‘signed the Compromise meas
ures;’ And it &as no donbt tjke course which
I wish here to allude to. aiid first prom ligated
by Mr.*Foote, and Mr. Buchanan’s subsequent
course during i hose trying times, that made
the speakers of the Convention (among them
Messrs Stephens and Toombs*) speak sb high
ly of Mr. Buchanan, Willie they aid no u even
mention the naihe of Fillmore once. And
lor myself, Mr. Editor, I can truly say that it
was from reading Mr. Foote’s speech, and then
understanding Mr. Buchanan well, that made
your humble servant fiudh ,u warn! Buchanan
man in 1850, and that makes him delight so
much to support him at this time. For ever
since that time, 1 have felt fts willing to trust
our rights under the Constitution, upon the
slavery question, as readily to Mr. Buchanan
as that of any Southern man. And now that
Mr. Buchanan is a candidate, I cannot but de
sire to call your, and the readers attention to
this ‘expose’ of Mr. Foote, made in the Unit
ed States Senate, on the 2lftb Juno, 1850.
But as this communication is long enough, and
perhaps too long, I will close for the present,
and give you the balance to-morrow.
OLD LINE WHIG.
iBSy-No matter whom it hits, the following which
we find in a western paper, is too good to be lost :
“In 1852, when the Whig Convention was in ses
sion, first came news that Geu. Scott, who wassup*
posed to display, particularly ill “plumage,’
was nominated for the Presidency. Then came
news that William Graham, of North Carolina,
the haul of “tar and turpentine,” was nominated
lor the Presidency. When this latter piece of in*
telligence was conveyed to Mr. Webster, he war
engaged in shaving himself. He stopped, and hav
ing heard the news, remarked, iu lu3 low, emphat
ic manner, as he deliberately wiped his razor, —
•Well', I do not see, then, but that the Whig Par
ty bad been tarred and feathered.”

Col. A. A. Gadding—Dear Sir : Being at
leisure to-day, the Anniversary of the Declar
ation of the Independence of the United
States, and there being no demonstration of
mirth or amusement in this locality, except the
pleasure of bathing in the Poplar Springs es
tablishment at this place, hence I drop you a
line to pass away time. You know that Mer
iwether and Upson counties are noted for
their Mineral Springs and fashionable vater
ing places, viz : The Thundering Springs and
Warm Springs, in Upson, on the roud leading
from this place to Thoinaston ; the White
Sulphur, Chalybeate, Warm, Colo, -ad a Min
eral Spring a few miles north Os Flat Shoals,
on the premises of Mr King, in Meriwether,
with bathing apartments io n!i, except tue
two last named. Bathing being so popular*
the citizens of this place resolved te reHr a
bath establishment for their o#n refreshment,
atilUsement and benefit —having obtained per
mission of Arnos Chfin, Jr., to build at the
Springs on his premises, known here as the
Poplar Springs, from the large poplar trees
growing over und about them. The principal
growth of the woods is oak, hickory and dog
wood* making a pleasant retreat these sultry
days. The building was erected in a tempo
rary manner suitable for bathing, and opened
on the 15th of .June last, and has been a place
of general resort for the citizens of lids place
and vicinity. We bathe before breakfast and
alter +ea, and find it not unpleasant at noon
Persons traveling on busi: e?s, .'hr health or
pleasure, if passing this way* will Cali / (if only
for novelty.) and they can get ad rink of ex
cellent cool water, and bathe without charge,
as
Bathing is hfcrfe free,-
For us all and thee,’
And you Wc aesurfc,
The water is pare.
w tempoßa, o Monies.
How it is Relieved.
The nomination ol Messrs. Bucharan tifid
Breckeni’idgc has been received with a degree
of favor, throughout tWb south, such as has
been’ before to the nominees of no
party* within the time of our recollection- We
remember no rrovious occasion iu winch the
opposition were not encouraged by some ex
amples of defection on the announcement <sf
the names of the candidates nominated. Notv,
the South witness nothing of the! fcifid. We
doubt whether in these fifteen States, there is
to be found a single individual, who was* con
nected ttith the Democrat party at the time of
the assemblage of the Cincinnati Convention,
who is not now warmly in favor of the election
of Buchanau and F/recfcinredge. Surely such
unexampled unanimity, is uot without a mean
ing. <•, ,
But more than this! everywhere there are
those formerly bitterly opposed to Democracy
whose present purpose is to support tlio Dem
cratie nominees. And* Unless expressions
which daily reach us nre deceptive, itfany who
would bo perfectly satisfied with the election
of Mr. Fillmore, will, iu November be fohtid
voting for Buchanan Why ? Because they
deem the success of Mr Fillmore hopeless. They
will not, dsrc not as patriots, increase the
chances of the Black Republicans by withhold
ing their votes from the only ticket whieb can
possibly defeat tlliis motley and traitorous
croWd.— Gear. & Jour,

Important from the National Capital
Douglas’ Kansas Bill—Amendments thereto,
Murcy Felicitated by the French Minister—the
British Legation fe-opelted—the Fillmore and
Fremont Men Plotting, Etc.
Washington, July 3 1&56.
Judge Douglas’ bill as it passed the Senate
tins morning, will undoubtedly pass the House.
The leading objection to the bill urged by the
nigger worshipers in the Senate was, that it
confined the right of voting to those who were
in the territory on the Fourth bf July instant,
and thus oxcluded all thdse alleged to have
bbfin driven cut of the Territory by the disturb
ances. Just before the final vote was taken
Judge Douglas offered the following amend
ment, in order to obviate this objection, which
was adopted almost unanimously—
That tiii bersons who posoes the other (Jual
iiici.tions prescribed by this act for voters; and
who shall have been bona, fide inhabitants of
said territory, at any time'since the Organiza
tion thereof find who shallTiave absented them
selves therefrom in consequence of the disturb
ances therein, and who shall return pridt 1 tb
the first day of October next, and become lo
na jidi inhabitants, with the view of making it
their permanent home, and shall furnish satis
factory evidence oi’ these facts to the Board of
Commissioners, shall be entitled to vote; and
shall have their names placed on the corrected
lists of voters for that purpose.
There was Otic other important amendment,
offered bv Mr. of Missouri, aud adopt
ed—forty to three—which repeals all the ob
noxious laws in the Territory as to test oaths,
Ac. enu guaranteeing fr eedom of speech, dis
cussion aud the press on slavery and all other
su Meets.
The House Topeka bill will be referred to
the committee on Territories in the Senate;
and it is rumored that Judge Douglas will re
port on Tuesday a copy of the Senate bill just
parsed as a substitute for the House measure,
and in that shape it will undoubtedly become
the law. Judge Douglas’ able tactics have
completely diseoncertcd tub nigger worship
pers

Misdirected Zeal.
A few days ago, we heard an individual on
the street, say, that Millard Fillmore would
carry the State of Georgia, at the next Presi
dential election, by a majority of at least ten
thousand votes ! It was th-. remark that lhadd
us turn on our heel to look at the speaker, for
we wondered if it was a man—a “true and
true one” as the boys say—that had made it
And sure enough it was; quite a genteel look
ing one too, and we have but little doubt that
he spoke what he believed. We judge so from
the earnestness and zeal with which he contin
ued to express himself, and we believe, had we
been inclined, we could have persuaded him
easily to wager no inconsiderable amount that
such would be the result of the election. To
account for this strange hallucination, we were
at a loss for some time; but when we were
told that he was a constant reader of the
Chronicle & Sentinel, of Augusta, that he sel
dom read any other, and never a democratic
paper, we set him down as one who would ‘‘siii
againts light and knowledge/ though Satati
hi ms ell stood before him.
We niust confess that this is the worst case
that ever came to our knowledge. It is even
worse than that misdirected zeal which is go
often witnessed in men, who, conscious that
they are maintaining a bad cause, continue to
do so, as it were, for spite, do so with untiring
and unflagging zeal. For the mere sake of
Opposition they toil and toil, failure being only
a stimulant for renewed ekertiOns. it is sq tod
with more than one press in Georgia. They
‘never say die/ but go on, ‘not animated by
hope’ but ‘urged by despair’ to mislead the
people and excite them into a contest from
which they can only escape with ignominious
defeat.
The observing and intelligent, as well as pa
triotic cannot help seeing the management thit
attains, at least, one of the objects aimed at
by these presses. First, their leaders must be
deceived, in order to keep up some sort of a
party organization; for, in its absence, they
fear the loss of that patronage which par.tiest
and even factions, give to pal’ty presses. They
seem to fear the loss of a sort of tendership
which they claim, and which, at the best, con
fers no great deal of profit, and very little hon
or. In other words, It is apparent, in this
State; that they apprehend being ‘swallowed
up’ by the democratic presses; hence their mis
directed zeal, to call it by no harsher name.—
They succeed, however, in one thing, and that
is’in persuading men into a belief in the success
of their candidates, when they know that cer
tain defeat awaits them. As for instance, in
the case of the individual to whom we referred
at the outset of this article. He verily be
lieves that Millard Fillmore will carry Georgia
by a majoiity of ten thousand votes; and, to
instill into him a contrary, belief, the readef
would hath to obliterate from ‘newspaper-dom’
the (jhrdcible and Sentinel; of Augusta. The
money, energy, aiid labor of this man, will,
diiting ihe next four months, be devoted to
bringing about the expected result, and he will
hear nothing to the contrary until it is too late

Light is abroad !u the South, and men see

In the Senate yesterday, after the close of
the discussion on the Kansas bill, Mr. VVeller
moved its recommitment of the committeo oii

therefor, expressing bis preference for the bill
of Mr. Toombs. This bill, it will be recollect
ed, proposes that a census of the

of the Secretary of State; by the commission

but actual residents of the Territory are to be
counted. Provision is then made for a fair
and impartial election of delegates to a State
Convention to form a preparato

some calls with his wife, when discovering that
he had left bis visiting cards, he ordered his
footman, recently COine into service, tCf go’ to
the mantle-piece in his sitting room, and bring
the cards he should see there. The servant did
as he was directed, and off started the gen
tleman, sending in his footman with cards
wherever the “not at . home” occurred". Ad
those were very numerous, he turned to the
servant with the question : “How many cards
have vou left ?”
“Well, sir,” said the footman, very innocent
