SCIRRHUSBREASTcaiibe CURED
Let the Public Read!
IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude and high opin
ion I entertain of I)R. MOSELEY as a Surgeon and Phy
sician, I deem it my duty to mention the case of my wife,
hoping at the same time that all persons similarly afflicted,
may be benefitted by it. In the first part of this year, my
wife had several small lumps make their appearance in her
breast; they continued to increase in size, until the whole
breast became a diseased mass, and very painful. I procured
the best medical aid in the city of Rome,and notwithstanding
the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi
cians, she continued to grow worse and worse, until they
gave the case tip as incurable, and advised amputation. I
was advised by many of niv friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of
Griffin, Ga., which I did, and, astonishing as it may seem,
he had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now
in good health! I would advise all who are afflicted with
Scirrbus, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out. delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience and observation,
that he is the most-skillful physician in the Southern States,
in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.

rIUFFIN, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING.. SEPTEMBER 2, 1856.
[For the Empire State.]
Mr. Editor : If you have any space in your
columns for any more anti-Fillmore comtuniii
cations, you have the liberty of inserting the
following :
And in the first, outset, I confess that it. does
me as much good to know that some of the
most distinguished and influential Whigs of
the Empire State, and sister States, are stand
ing side by side with the nnti-Know Nothing
and Democratic Parts , endeavoring to main
tain the principles which we have so long con
tended for, (the great conservative principles
of the Republic, ) as it did VI r Fillmore when*
he was welcomed to make such a tremendous
blow at the Black Republicans in a speech in
the Capitol of his native State. And we cor
dially welcome all such men to our ranks. 1
alhide to such men as Hull ad the Columbus
Clique, as they are. called b> the Know Noth
ings of my county ;an particularly we should
give a stand to our assistant standard-bearers,
to wit : Harris, Ramsey and Gartrell. Yes,
they are welcomed to * ur r .t.ks doirtu-fl!etl,
and are worthy of the suffrages of the Demo
cratic Pai;ty, and shall be promoted, for we
“play on a harp o*f equal strings. 1 ’ and show
to the public perfect things.
Now it is said in the.American Union, which
paper I offer as proof,, that Mr Fillmore’s Al
bany speech was more interesting than those
delivered in New York, because the subjects
discussed were more important. Well, what
did he say in Albany in regard to the Chief
Magistrates ? Hear him : “That for the first
time there was apolitical party presenting can
didates from the free Stales alone and he
asks, “can the) have the madness, or be so
foolish as to suppose that the South would sub
mit to be governed by such a President ?
And supposing that the South, having a ma
jority of Electoral votes, should declare that
they would only have slaveholders for Presi
dent and Yice President to rule over us at the
North, would we ('including himself,) submit
to it ? No, not for one moment.” (Trenton
dous cheering.)
Now, Mr. Edit r, who appreciated this ‘doc
trine ? It must be those who applauded him
so highly. Was it slaveholders, or men of
Southern Democratic principles ? Or was it
freesoilers ? Which will it suit best ? A
great blow indeed ! The South vindicated !
It is evident that Mr. Fillmore was born and
raised in a non-slaveholding state, and the pa
per above referred to, in publishing the pro
ceedings of a Know Nothing meeting of mv
county, declared “that he ( Fillmore, was ed
ueated in prejudice against slavery, aqd that lie
declared i imself so in a speech to slaveholders
in Kentucky two years age.’• t fence the en
quiry, is Fillmore as bad as h'rem<un ? But
the same paper continues, “Yet when he
more, ) was President, lie rose superior to the
prejudices of his education, and maintained
the constitutional rights of the Sout h ”
Now what does Mr. Fillmore say in his Al
bany speech ? Hear him again :
“You 11 know when the country, w be
reaved of her Chief Magistia e. and 1 as
called to the Executive Chair, that the coun
try was agitated upon the existum - subject of
slavery. It was then that I felt it my duty to
rise above every sectional prejudice, and look
to the welfare of the whole Nation. I was
compelled to over-come long cherished prejudi
ces and disregard party claims.”
Hence \ is obvious that his supporters South
say one thing, and In another, for they say he
rose superior to his education tc secure the
welfare of the country, and lie, ( Fillmore,)
their candidate, living at the North, says he
was compelled lo overcome prejudices, aid that
sectional too and not only so, but he disre
garded party claims in acting as he did Now
I think there is.a great difference between sec
tional prejudices and party claims, and that of
merely being born in a non-slaveholding State,
or educated against slavery ; and if these prin
ciples and prejudices had to be overcome in
order to secure the welfare of the country,
what would have been the result Lad he main
tained them ? Why the principles upon which
our freedom was obtained, would have been
lost ! The great conservative principles that
caused a Jasper to lose his life in maintaining
freedom’s colors, embroidered with gold and
silver by the hands of Mrs. Colonel Elliott,
would have been disregarded. And in the
speech above alluded tp, Mr. Fillmore says,
“he had rather be right than be President,”
hence the inference is, he had rather be right
than be elected President upon the principles
of his party, for if he is elected, he will have
to overcome his sectional principles and party
claims as he did before, in order lo do justice 10
the Union, for it is to be feared lie is a. ‘little’
stained yet with principles of section ality, and
in proof of this I refer to his Erie Letter, da
ted Buffalo, October 1848, in which he de
clared his “opposition to the annexation of
Texas to this Union under any circumstances,
so long as slaves are held therein,” and his
votes in Congress are in perfect brotherhood
and harmony with this doctrine ; yet it is
charged upon Mr. Buchanan, and asserted that
the treesoil influence in U e Cincinnati Conven
tion, defeated Pierce and Douglas, and nomi
nated Buchanan But this is not true, for
there was not a freesoiler in that Convention,
and one of the delegates prepared a resolution
at home, and took if in his pocket to that Con
vention, which declared ‘that if a freesoite
maud hi* appearance in that body, that he
should be expelled, but to his gratification, he
never presented Jr resolution, for there were
no such characters in that non}’ Cf Statesmen
that it excluded. Hence then the freesoil in
fluence alone is applicab e t ■ the Convention!
that nominated Fillmore from the fact thai |
Mr. Richmond, of Massachusetts, obtained a
hearing in that Convention, and spoke upon
his favorite subject, “no more slave States, no
more slave Territory.”
But in this ensuing Presidential election, the
Southern people, and people of Southern prin
ciple.-, ought not to be governed by what par
ty revilers say, but go in unitedly for the
constitutional principles of the Souih and of
the btates, and in doing this, we should lake
Mr. Fiiliuorc good for what he ays, “that he
can never consent to be one thing to the North
and another to the Sout.fi, but that we at the
North will rot submit to the will of the South.”
So then he is North-northern, and in order to
preserve our rights, let ns vote for the man
whose character is spotless, and whose princi
ples upon the slavery question are as sound as
slaveholders could wish, and whose votes stand
recorded in harmony with Southern rights
That man is to be found in the person of James
Buchanan.
I learn that the Buchanan fever is raging in
Arkansas, and .1 think we might say that it
has not abated in Ohio, lowa, Michigan, Ken
tucky, nor no where else nor wont till frost,
or until the Democratic triumph will surpass
all previous victories. The fever is very slow
—it will last two months yet, and continue
■contagious nil the time ; but it is strange that
pone but the deepest dyed Know Nothings and
respectable old line Whigs, are apt to catch
it. There are none of them but what are lia
ble to take it. But I dont have any idea that
it will prove fatal ; no one need notiunoculate
with Fillmoreism to prevent the fever. I be
lieve it has bem prevailing for eighty years.
It has never done, any harm, and I can assure
them it will not effect the ‘Constitution,’ or im
pair it in the least I cordially approve our
Electoral Tiqjcet,. not by personal acquaintance,
but by principle- the great National, Con
stitutional, Democratic, Republican, Conserv
ative and anti-Know Nothing principle—l did
not say anti-American, for I think that alone
applicable to the tories of the Revolution —so
it may be known henceforth that I scorn the
name, and attribute it to those that so scorn
fully use it at their indiscretion. But they
know not what they say. And let us give our
ticket an honorable start, and a successful run,
and a triumphant coming out, sending up 10
Electoral votes for Buchanan and Brecken
ridge, and then Fillmore and “Donelson will
know not. what to do
Hurrah for the South and Union Rights !
Locust Grove, G a., Sep., 185 G. R. S.
U ashington Correspondence of the Georgian & Journal.
Proceedings of Congress.
Washington, Aug. 2.2.
In pursuance bf the proclamation of* the
President, the extra session of Congress, con
vened to make provision for the support of the
army fi r the ending June CO, 185 TANARUS, which
provision was prevented by the defeat, of the
army Ji li by the persistence of the House in
its revo • tionary Kansas’ proviso commencQd
yesterday.
In the Senate thirty eight, members were
present ai t e opening of the session; in the
House, one hundred and eighty six members
answered to. their names on the call of the roll.
A joint resolution was passed by both Houses,
to authoriz the signing of-such enrolled bills
as had been left over for want of time, and
to present them to the President for his
signature.
The Senate also, on motion of Mr Hunter,
passed a resolution That the (House of Repre
sentatives so much of the twenty
first rule ns requires that six days shall elapse
from the commenewment of the session before
resuming the consideration of bills, resolutions
•••■d reports remaning unacted on at the” close
of the previous session) be suspended during
the present session .so far is relates to the army
bill; but tiie house did not concur in the reso
lution. The effect of the adoption of this reso
lution by both Houses would have been that
the army bill reported at the last session could
have.been taken up at the exact [joint at
which it stood at the adjournment on Monday.
Anew army bill, precisely similar to the bill
considered at the last session, was reported by
Mr. Campbell from the Committee of ways and
means, with the same obnoxious Kansas pro
viso annexed, and was passed by a vote of 98
to 85. The House then adjourned.
Immediately on assembling this morning,
the Senate took up the bill, and amended it by
striking from it the Kansas proviso; thus bring
ing the whole quenstion to precisely the
condition n which it stood at the adjournment
on Monday.
Previous to considering the Senate amend
ment, the House on motion of Mr Kelly,
of New York, granted t<> Thus. Childs, Jr., of
New York, a member wiio has been prevented
by sickness froiu attending since the beginning
of t he session, his per diem and milage from the
beginning of the session to the 18th inst. as
was done in the case of the Hon. J. G. Miller,
of Missouri, deceased.
The Senate amendment was then yielded by
a majority of two, ninety four voting in favor
of retaining it, and ninety six against it. A mo
tion to reconsider this vote was laid on the ta
ble by a vote of 9t to 95. A message was
then received from the Senate, stating that
they still insisted on their amendment A mo
tion made by Mr. Cobb of Georgia, that the
House recede from its disagreement to the
Senate amendment was lost by a vote of 94 to
96. A motion- made by Mr. Washburn, of
Maine, that the House adhere to its disagree
ment was then passed by a majority of four;
ninety seven voting in the affirmative, and
ninety three in the negative, and a motion to
to reconsider this vote was laid on the table
by a mojo ity of one. A resolution offered by
Mr. ,Nhe man, of Ohio, that the Speaker of
the House, and the President of the Senate,
be authorized to declare the respective Houses
adjourned sine die at 4 o’clock P. M., was re
jected The House lias now at o’clock
P. M. taken a .ecess of half an hour
Thus has the arm} 7 bill been again defeated
by the persistent action of the Republicans.—
The only chance of Its final passage at this
session rest? upon flic possibility that the
House may concur in the joint resolution to
suspend the twenty first joint rule above men-
T.iuHgd; otherwise, no farther action can be
taken on the bid, the House having divested
itself of the j.o- < r to reconsider it by passing
the resolution to adhere to its disagreement.
The regular course of legislation in this re
gard is as follows:
When eitner House—the House of Repre
sentative-for example—sends a bill to the
other, the other may pass it with amendments
a- has been d■me in this case by the Senate.
The regular procession then is, that the House
disagree to the a mendraent, the Senate insist
on i ; the House insist on their disagreement,
the Senate-adhere to their amendment; the
liouse a; acre to their disagreement.
i he adherence of the Senate, (a parliamen
tary finality, precluding ail further action by
the body adhering,) as already stated, should
have proceeded an adherence by the House,
width, therefore, by its adherence been guilty
of a great parliamentary discourtesy, besides,
according tt> Grey, a high authority on parlia
mentary usage, cited by Jefferson .in his man
ual, in the ordinary course, there are two free
conferences on a disagreement before an ad
herance. The first adherently either ren
ders it necessary for the other fb recede *>r ad
here also, when the matter drops According
to the same high authority, either House may
pass over the term of ‘insisting’ on a disagree
ment, and may adhere in the first instance,
but it is highly disrespectful to the other to
do so.
The use of the term ‘insist’ instead of ‘ad
here’ multiplies opportunities of trying modi
fications which may bring the disagreeing
House to a concurrence. The House, it will
be seen has disregarded and discarded all
such efficient and proper checks on legislative
abuse, and has thus brought on itself the great
er condemnation.
Should Congress again adjourn without fi
nal action on the bill, the President will again
immediately convene it.

M. of the 21st inst:—“Yesterday, about four
hundred free State men, including one hun
dred from Lane’s party, attacked the ruffians’
camp at Washington Creek, but the cowards
run before we got within a mile of them. They
‘were strongly fortified. They left their pro
visions, and we burned their fort. We took
two prisoners near by, who say tney had
about sixty men at 2 o’clock this morning.—
Our camp marched towards Lecompton, and
at this moment I can distinctly hear the boom
ing of cannon A large company of Missou
rians are there, but victory is sure. Dragoons
don’t interfere. I hasten to the scene.’
It is reported that at the fight near Ossa
watomie five free State men were repulsed,
with fourteen killed and sixteen wounded. —
Lecompton will be destroyed.
St. Louis, Ang. 20.
The steamer Lucas arrived here to-day and

offree-soilers, when a desperate conflict ensued
Many were killed and wounded on both sides.

Chicago, Aug. 20.
The St. Louis Democrat of yesterday con
tains a letter dated Kansas the 14th inst.,
concerning the affairs at Franklin. It appears
that a large company of Missourians and Car
olinians, encamped at Washington Creek lmd
been committing depredations upon the farm*
of free State settlers in the vicinity, when they
sent lor assistance to Lawrence. The people
from there sent Mr. Hoyt, formerly of Massa
chusetts, to the camp of the Missourians and
Carolinians, to ascertain the reason of their
depredations. Mr. Hoyt, went to their camp
unarmed, and on the next day (the 12th inst,)
was taken prisoner by them and shot. The
Lawrence men, immediately on hearing of this
horrible and murderous outrage upon a peacea
ble and unarmed man proceeded to attack the
fortification of Franklin, for the purpose of
securing arms to drive the encamped force 6ut
of the Territory, but sustaining considerable
loss in killed and wounded in the attack on
the fort, they were obliged to return to Law
rence without attacking the camp of the Mis
sourians and Carolians.

sunk and disappeared in the earth, leaving a

His neighbors were called to the place, who,
by means of ropes, let him down in search of

feet, but the further he went the larger the
hole appeared, and he called to his friends to
pull him up, which they did.— Exchange.

Wlio should Irishmen Vote for at the
coming Presidential Election.
Nkw York, Aug. 14.
To the Editor N. Y. Daily News:
The question of Irish born Citizens of tire
country is one of more than ordinary moment*
and one which will affect them for better or
for worse Let me then as ah Irishman say a
few words upon the subject.
There arc three candidates before its, Fill
more, Fremont and Buchanan,
How would the adopted citizens of the
country be placod in case Mr. Fillmore should
be the successful candidate ? If such a qncs
tion be answered in no other way, the red
blood of those innocent Irishmen, murdered ifi
open day in the streets of Philadelphia and
Louisville, are now appealing to Heaven for
vengence, would be sufficient. The murderers
were Know Nothings, the Jury rendering thd
virdict were Know Nothings and who would
expect an Irishman to get justice in such &
case.
If Mr. Fillmore is elected, ah IrishnKin’3
life, his property, his reputation, will be con
tinually exposed to the assaults of bigots and
ruffians. liishmcn will be looked upon as he
lots and slaves—as persons who should exist
merely by sufferance. Their rights as men*
os citizens, as freemen, will be abused and
trampled upon. No Irishman then with the
feelings of a man should be so destitute of self
respect as to vote for Fillmore.
Should we vote for him ?
Doubtles some Irishmen will tote for this
gentleman upon grounds satisfactory to them
selves. But do the supporters of Mr. Fremont
state their position fairly ? I think not. The
majority of his supporters in the New England
States are Know Nothings, and he must have
had at some former time, or now has some
connection with the order, or he would not re
ceive its support. In fact, if I mistake not,
he accepted the nomination of a Know Nothing
convention held in this city on the 19tli of
June. The issue therefore is Know Nothing
ism In the Northern States he is propped
up by the decayed remains of tlie old whig
party, with the help of Know Nothings, and
renegade democrats, who all swear that
there is only sixteen States in the Union. Tim
issue here is Northern domination. Should
Irishmen then as patriots, as conservatives
support the holder of either of these issues ?—■
Do they waut to vote away their own rights,-
and at the same time stab to the heart
the glorions step mother who nourished
and protected them ? If they do, let them go
to the polls with masked face, vote for
Fremont.
We come then to Buchanan. Thank Hea
ven the mass of the American people hare
right hearts. The shield of the great aiid all
powerful democracy is over us,and we are safe.
Irishmen Can haye no hesitation in voting for
Buchanan for he is our blood and kindred, and
will not allow U3 to be wronged; more than
this he is the candidate of the whole country,
and therefore the embodiment of its patriotism,
and he appeals to the adopted eitizens to re
member the oath he took, “trod as an individu
al member of the confederacy to guard ohd
preserve the country from thp assaults of inter
nal and external foes.
1 hree cheers then for Bucb. and Breefc—hip,
hip, hurrah ! TYRCONNELL.
A Female Traveler. —A Montreal lettci*
in the Boston Bee says:
There is travelling in Canada at the present
time a lady of no little interest. She is an edu
cated Irish lady, and a native of Dublin. Her
name is Miss Jane Willson. She is 23 years old;
of prepossessing appearance, and is exceedingly
interesting and intelligent. She left Dublin
in March last for this country, unaccompanied
by any attendant, male or female, and has
traveled in every part of the State*. North
and South. She has a strong taste for adven
ture, and enjoys nothing more than going
from place to place and closely observing such
matters as may be of interest. She is a second
Madam Peiffer.and has only to see half the yeafs
of that distinguished lady to have toured the
globe. With plenty ofmoney, a stout heart, a
reliance upon herself and a full belief that
woman is protected and respected wherever sho
may go, Miss Wilson spans the continent unhar
med and unmolested. She will shortly visit Bos
ton.
