« Withoo* Fear, Faror or Affection.”
EATONTON, GA.
SATURDAY MORNING. DEC. 2. 1854.
The Next (Governor.
Hut little lias yet been said about the next Go
vrrnor. It lias usually been tlie case in other
days, when politicians were not so nmoli at a loss
know Wliat to do as they are now—when the
places upon which they have been wont to stand
were not ennobling beneath their feet—that by
• his time the press had pretty generally spoken out
upon the Governor's election which was to come
nIV the ensuing year. But times are changed and
folks are changed with them. Yon can hardly find
throughout tlie length and breadth of the State of
Georgia, a politician who knows what he will do.
or knowing, dares avow his future 'intentions. The
Whig party is dead. Gen. Pierce killed that in
I £52 —a task not very hard to perform, by the way
—and he has since succeeded about as well in
killing the Dcuu>cmtiq.party. Since the decease of
these two great parties, various factions have
'sprung up, as also one party laying some claim to
‘nationality—-to.wit: the Know Nothing party.
Terror and consternation to old fogies, party hacks,
land intriguing wire-workers have followed in the
wake of this powerful secret order. Old parties
are disorganized, and one new party is being ui
'.ganised. Mr. Granger is trying to reorganize the
Whig party, and heaven knows the Democratic
party needs reorganization with a vengeance. But
'in all this organization and re-organization, there is
more disorganization than anything else. Hence.
tin* politicians not knowing what to do, do nothing,
as well as know nothing—and hence the little talk
about our next governor.
But let us link at some of tlie probabilities and
possibilities. There will probably be a part\ in
i1 corgi a itilling itself tlie I'cmooratie party, and
tlov. Johnson will probably bo its nominee, seek
ing a re-election. And what are ids chances ibr
re-election? If the l'emoeratie party can be plac
ed upon its ancient basis, Gov. Johnson will be
elected. To place it upon its ancient basis, how
ever, the Pierce dynasty must give way. Tlie
President will either have to make a “hold stroke
to set himself right before the American people, or
will have to cease being insisted upon as the ex
ponent of the I'omocrtic party. Pierce, Marey.
Sunders, Sickles and Soule, and the Van Burens
will have to give way to such men as Cass. Cobh.
1 >ougla». Buelianan, Dickinson, and Bronson are,
anil such men as Jackson and Polk were. Then
lu re in Georgia. Governor Johnson must rid him
self of the " body of death " of the present ad
ministration. must make some of his organs cease
their war upon national Democrats, ami others of
them not insist upon applying the test of nullifica
tion or secession. The Democratic party in tlie
State must make amends for its treatment ot Gov.
Cobb and either Union Democrats, and above all.
Gov. Johnson must not turn out or susjnnd any
more clerks for hissing him. Nor must he depend
too much upon the “two niggers, three dogs and
two jHissunm" sensation. By guarding well all
tie - * points, our present Governor may again be
called to till the executive chair fir two years more.
But what will the Whigs, do? Do you say
there arc no Whigs, brother Ifccordert A\ ell the
.Republicans thenHowever, we don't hear much
about the Republicans now. for the fusion party at
tile North have stolen their name, and they now lie
low', siilar as a name is concerned. But their acts,
lint their name. They will do thi—nominate a
man in opi>o.sition to the Democrats, and elect him,
too, utiles- the Democrats get upon their old plat
firm, as we have shown above. The A\ higs will
succeed so surely as they go before the people
with the is.-ue before them of endorsing or con
demning the administration. But if tlie Democrat
ic [>artv will rid itself of all dead weight, then the
Whigs will probably play the Know Nothing card-
We are afraid the* Democratic party in tlie next
governor s election in Georgia will run with the
adiniiiistraiion mill-stone hung around il-s nock.
And m> surely as ir do>s. we repeat, it will be dis
tanced in the race. We have heard the name of
Hon. A. H. Stephens suggested as the man who
will probable !«_• brought out by the V. lags. The
programme upon which he would run would be :
the Georgia platform. opjxjsitiou to the admiuistra- |
lion, and a considerable sprinkling of Southern
Rights. We know not what effect Mr. Granger's
rail will have upon the Whigs of Georgia, lor they,
like the Democracy, are divided into two wings—
to wit: those who have a tendency to be democra
tize.]. under the leadership of Toombs, and those
who. "upon the closest self-examination, cannot
lind that they are at all democratized," under the
leadership of Jenkins. We rather think, though,
that as Mr. Stephens forms the connecting link
between the two wings, there will bo no trouble
about their Happing in unison. Rut at all events.
Toombs and Stephens will go together You had
as well try to separate Castor and l’ollux as to at
tempt to divide these two.
Rut there is another programme spoken of with
reference to the next Governor s election. It is to
run some man who lias not of late taken such ac
tion in politics .old render him obnoxious to
any party, and wife would unite the support of all
parties-' Various names have been suggested, such
as those of Ward, Jos. llenry Lumpkin. Warner,
McAlister, Hill. Nisbet, Andrews, Troup and the I
Treaty, Gilmer, Starnes, Henry R. Jackson, Stiles,
Jirunbam. Miller, Wei born, Fleming Jordan, Stark,
Flovd, Hardeman, Trippc, Cutlibert. and numerous
.others, it would Lea happy thing, indeed, if the
ticoplc of Georgia, the leading State of the South,
could unite upon some man, and elect him. without
political wrangling, upon the sole ground fit con
stitutional and wise opposition to Northern fanati
cism. Jl would set a noble example to the other
Southern States, and would exercise a wholesome
and salutary intluenoe upon the well-being of the
whole count ry. Rut we are afraid the hope of such
ix consummation, devoutly as it is to be wished lor,
jx futile. There are several great obstacles in the
way. In the first place, the partisan press is wrong
.and would have to he righted, since the press is
the instrumentality by which all things are accom
plished. Some of the press would think that if
all united to bring a eertein man to the executive
chair, by the time the public printing wore appor
tioried out among all the faithful, the morsels would
all be so small, they would not bo worth catching
at. So they had rather go upon Mr. Folk's max
im. "the whole or none.” Then another difficulty
jn the way would U* the indefeasible right which
our politicians have of gulling the people to their
own self-sggraudizeinent. They would prefer keep
ing up the present divisions, because they think
their chance for olliec under them would lie bettor
than without. And even it they consented to
giro up tlieirclittiiee for olliec, old prejudice* would
interpose their hideous tonus in the path of i*olitic-'
al rectitude. Then again the administration folks
would probably insist upon the people of Georgia's
endorsing the administration. And whenever
these were called ujiou for that purpose, they would,
like the old woman’s pig, "eome up missing."
Fan these obstacles to unity of action on the part
of the people of Georgia be removed? The 1 co
ple for once in their lives should show themselves
independent of politicians and a partisan pros*,
and act upon their own convictions of right. Will
JJiey do it? We opine not, but shall see.
New Era in Diplomacy.
It used to be the easo that ministers were sent
from one country to another to preserve the friend
ly relations existing between the-two powers.
Tills good old custom has passed away, however,
with other old fogy notions. It will not do for
Young America. Now. it appears, that with the
American government our foreign ambassadors an:
sent abroad to embroil us in difficulties. W itness
the conduct of the Pierce Dynasty in sending oil to
England sueli ii rabid mounte-bank as George Bau
| ders, to lie ehcek-by-jowl with Kossuth, Maxzini,
i aiul Lcdru Rollin. Witness the conduct of the
I lion. Solon Borland, the rash, hotheaded bully,
i who made known his .belligerent propensities bo
| fore quitting American soil by smashing the nose
j of Mr. Kennedy, of the Census Bureau, and who
■ established his reputation by the renowned adven-
I lure, equal to that of the sparrow who killed cock
I robbin—the renowned adventure at Grcytown*
I Witness the conduct of Mr. Daniel at lurin, who
showed his good sense and line taste by lumpooti
i ing those with whom he had to deal in keeping
i our government upon good terms with the King
: dom of Sardinia. And above all, witness the con
duct of tlie lion. Pierre Soulo. theireuch Red Re
publican, who showed his keen appreciation ol (lie
i duties lie had to pcrlbrni in gelling up a war be
tween Spain anil this country, by making a lilli.
buster speech before the Cuban Junta, just before
having for the court of Madrid, and who busies
himself in aiding and ab tting insurrections in
Europe. The American government lias sunk a
degree lower than we hoped t vet - to see it, when it
is represented abroad by such men as those above
enumerated. The only reasons that we are not
now engaged in a European war, are our good
luck in having “stout heartsaudstrong arms,’’and
the fact that the powers ot European] contending
among themselves. A day of reckoning, lias conic,
and another will come, between the American peo
ple and the Pierce dynasty; and nothing will con
tribute more to its overthrow than its appointment
ot such men to represent us abroad as Sanders and
Soule —names which should mantle with the blush
of shame the cheek of every American citizen,
since thev suegcst our country s deep degradation.
To Correspondents-
Tlie article over the signature of "The hoy that
struck Biilv Patterson," is respectfully declined
because, in the first place, it is too long, even if it
were suitable in other respt els lor our columns, and
in the second place, it is net suitable in other re
spects. Our correspondent s error is that of other
voting writers. He seems to think that words are
the great end of all writing, whereas they are
only the means, and are good only in so far as they
are the vehicle of ideas. They are like a cart
which carries cabbage to market, and is only good
on account of the cabbage which are in it. Our
correspondent has given us all cart and no cab
bage AYe think, though, to be candid, lie could
grow some very line cabbage, it lie would only
cultivate them more, aud think less of enlarging
and painting his cart.
*■ Life Illustrated.”
This is the* title of anew paper, the first number
of which has reached us. pubhsued by Messrs.
Fowler ft Wells, New York, whose names are a
sufficient guaranty that their paper will be a good
one. The foregoing gentlemen stand conspicuous
amongst those who are bent upon progress aud im
provement. They reject the old dogmas in law
morals, religion, medicine and every thing else.
The improvement and happiness of the human race
is tlie key by which they test the utility ot every
thing. Asa co-laborer against all those ideas and
things which claim supremacy inertly on the ground
of old fogy ism, we w elcome to our exchange list
Life Illustrated, aud promise ourself much amuse
ment and instruction from a perusal of its columns*
The Federal Union vs. Dickinson.
The Federal Union, in its issue before the last,
says something about Mr. Dickinson's having sui.k
to ihu level of a pot-house politician, and talks
alKiut his degradation, Ac. Os course our cotempw
rary did not expect to injure Mr. Dickinson by its
palaver, lor we take it. that it is acquainted with
that law of physics by wiios* operation a small
body coming in contact with a large one recoils,
while tlie large body remains unaffected. Blit wo
are astonished to see the Federal Union letting fly
its lilliputiau shafts against that pure statesman,
consistent democrat, mid tried fiend of’ tlie South.
Daniel S. Dickinson. AYe vele glad to see our
eoteniporary repudiating tlie attacks of the Rich- j
mond EiujV.ii er upon General 'ass, and did not
expect it would so soon level its Toirithumb artille- J
iy at one in every respect a counterpart of the old
General. It need hardly be told that ii cannot get
the Jackson wing of the democracy to join it in its
crusade against Dickinson, and we do not believe
it will tiie majority of tlie Southern Rigfits wing.
Dickinson lias proven himself to; warm a friend of
the South for that section, now to turn its back
upon him.
Forgiveness.
In spite of what is said in the bible. that l:e.x
--!
[ eept ye forgive men their trespasses, neither will
I your heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses,”
, there is no virtue so little practised, even among
I those professing Christianity, as that of forgiveness
You may take the class ot men who are on the av
erage good citizens, and you will lind them sadly
wanting in forgiveness. I usteiul of praying for and
forgiving their enemies, as the bible commands
them to do, they can’t even forgive their friends?
if these chance to ofi'end them. Instead of being
willing to overlook an olfenoc, they treasure it up
in their memories,
" Nurse their wrath to keep it warm,"
and make their hearts great store houses for the
keeping of envy, malice, hatred, arid revenge. And
they don tehargearty thing for the storage either. For
it is pleasure enough to their depraved moral ap
petites to know that their ware-houses are full t>f
all manner of evil. In fact, so far from charging
any storage, they will often he at considerable ex
pense to gratify their hellish passions—makc rail
road facilities for getting their hearts full of malice
and revenge, and actually pay freight, dravage.
and other expenses in order to keep them full of
these worst of all passions. And yet they will go
and kneel down in church and ask God to forgive
their sins, giving his word the lie, which word eve
ry where says their sins shall not be forgiven them,
until they have forgiven their fellow-men!
The Know Nothings-
As the Know Nothings are making more noise
in the world now than any other folks, animals or
tilings, we give this week, and shall confute to
give, various extrajts, some for and some against
the order. Our Know Nothing subscribers can
read tit© extracts m their favor, and, our anti-lCiiow
Nothing subscribersaxur rOul those against tUgm
\Yo read all sides of all mfostions ourself, take the
good and reject the had so iar as we can discrimi
nate.
Wy learn .that sonic- misunderstanding bus gone
abroad concerning the quantity of cotton lying ut
the depot in this place. AVp state for the benefit
of those who think their cotton is delay.•J i'iere,
that there is -not now lying at tlie depot a single
bag of cotton which is not detained on account of
orders not to send off. On Tuesday* evening last
eight box ears ..with an extra engine were sent to
this place, aud every: bag of cotton, (with tlie ex
ception above.) was sent off enriy on Wednesday
morning. AYe aro authorized to say that whenever
cotton shall seem like accumulating here, an extra
train will he sent up to prevent its accumulation.
In the mean lime, our friends abroad, aud at home,
need not believe half the idle rumors aud idle talk
they hear about tlie Katontoh Brunch Railroad.
“X.’
l 'N." the Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Slin, boasts of the rigid economy* exercised
by Mr. Campbell, of tin* Dost Office Deparsment,
and tin* small amount of money expended in that
line.
Surely* " X " does not thiuk it possible to have
been otherwise, considering the picayune manner
in which the business lias been conducted.
Douglas aud his Negroes.
AVo give an extract in another column telling
about Douglas and his negroes, ibr the sake of the
gossip, aud not by way* of endorsing tlie spirit of
tlie piece. AYe don't like gossip ourself but thought
our readers might.
Good Poetry.
AYe call our readers' attention to a superior piece
of poetry on the first page. AYe have been kindly
permitted to publish it by* an American gentleman,
at whoso festive board, when residing in a foreign
land, it was pronounced by* an English lady. The
render will recognise in it much of the simplicity,
but ingenuity, of point, which is characteristic of
tlie poetry of Burns.
A Request.
AYe have to request our friends in Putnam coun
ty not to take the Independent Press out of the
Post Office, unless authorised by the subscribers to
do so. Much complaint exists about subscribers’
not getting their papers, and it has come to our
knowledge that some who do not subscribe, take
the Press out of the office, and in this way it misses
its destination. Now Ibis is injustice to us. and to
our subscribers. If those who are net subscribers
desire, at any time, to see any particular number of
our paper, aud will call at our office, it will afford
us a pleasure to supply them. And in this way
our subscribers will not bo deprived of their just
rights.
Highly Important Movement.
AYe are pleased to see from our Milledgevillc* eo
temporaries that a highly important movement has
been made in the capital of the Magnolia State.
An effort is being made to build a female school —
yes, a female school. Not one word is said about
college. AYe have hope yet tor the people of Geor
gia. Ve know that tlie sensible men of the coun
try are opposed to till tlie nonsense—the worse
than nonsense—the ruinous effects, of female col
leges. and it is only* necessary for a few men of
nerve 10 take- a linn stand against the hifalutin in
stitutions of tlie day to see them totter to their
full. Tt seems Irom the following extract of a
speech from that sensible man, Col. Harris, made
at tlie meeting in Milledgeviilc tor taking some
steps to build a school, that, the Colonel is not
afraid to speak out on the subject of wliat kind of
an education is proper for females:
*• Iverson L* Harris, Esq., addressed the meeting in
a very forcible speech, in which he viewed the tlii
ficultics in the way of tins enterprise, lie strenu
ously advocated economy as a cardinal principle
for the regulation of the institution, and insisted
able upon the adoption of such a system of educa
tion as would fit tho women of our State to dis
charge the functions appropriate to their sphere of
life. He bfclieved it would be more beneficial to
society if young ladies were taught some of the
practical duties belonging to their domestic char
acter, and that, instead of spending years in the
study* of mathematics and languages, it would do
them much more good to indoctrinate them in the
art of cookery and other branches of useful knowl
edge. to lit them better for domestic life, lie
assured the meeting of his hearty co-operation in
lliis work, and that lie would do all m his power
lo sustain it."

Tiik Collision between the Can
ada and the Ocean. — The steamer
(\mada arrived oft’Boston harbor on
Friday evening, but owing to the
darkness of the night did not go up to
the city. Shortly before six o'clock,
the Canada came in collision with the
steamer Ocean from Boston for ITallow
well, Me., striking her midships. The
steamers Forest City, and Boston were
most fortunately at hand, and took oft
the passengers of the Ocean, 80 in num
ber. The force of the collission upset
a, stove on board the Orcein, causing
her immediately to take 'lire, which
was soon followed by the explosion of
her boilers. A man, woman and
child, names unknown, were drowned.
Hiram Uring, messenger of Carpen
ter’s Express, was badly scalded,, and
Charles Hooper and wife, waiters,
were badly injured. No others are
known to be lost or seriously injured.
The’ steamer Forest City returned with
the dead and injured and their friends
to Boston. Thp balance of the Ocean's
passengers proceeded to Portland in
the steamer Boston. The Ocean was a
large fine boat and heavily freighted
—all a total loss. The Canada picked
up forty of the passengers.
New York, Nov. 27.
Both jKirtiesclaimed the victory in
the action oh the sth hist. Gen. Can
robert says that the .Russians lost nine
thousand men. Prince Menscliikolf,
on the other hand, says that the sortie
of the garrison on the sth hist, was emi
nently successful, ami.That the .Russians
ppiked tli i rtv Freucit guns and tietented
the French in Ihe assault: on the, town
with immense loss.
The Vienna Post says , that on the
6th inst. the entire garrison of sixty
live thousand men assailed the Allies
! in a furious battle which was not cm
: ded when tJb.e messenger left, but- that
the Allies had a slight advantage., ft
j ip believed that a few such victories
| would compel the Allies to raise the
: siege.
Pfincd Mcnsoiiikoff says that’ it is
impossible for the Allies to prolong
the siege, and therefore continues to
harms* them.
Gen. Caurobert declares that he in
tends to make an immediate assault,
which, he asserts, the Russians are in
no condition to resist.
Charleston and Savannah Jlail-
Rqad. —At a meeting of the Directors
of this important, onterprizo, on the
25th inst., it was decided to organize,
at, once, two corps ol survey, to com
plete the location and determine,, final

ted to John Mcßae, Esq., the Engineer
in-Chief on the Road, we tire assured,
Irom his well known energy and ac
tivity, that no time, will be lost ; and
we hope soon to report the conclusion
of this important stage of the affair.—
The route once adopted, let all go to
work at the road in good earnest.

Previous to his leaving Canton,
Com. Deny received a letter signed by
all tlie American merchants and resi
dents in China,expressing their thanks
for the protection his command had
afforded them, and their joy at his suc
cess in inaugurating the “entrance of
Japan into the great family of nations,
the consequences of which affect the
welfare of the uni vers;” and thus, in
adding lustre to the flag of his country,
they declare he has durably inscribed
his own name upon the history of tlie

The Washington correspondent of
the New Orleans Picayune says he
learns from a reliable source that the
amount of cotton exported during the

giving an average of about 9 1 2 cents

and exclusively in the factory of the proprietor,- by
processes and from materials elsewhere uuejsupioyxsd

2. It is proved, by the repeated analysis of several
eminent chqmists, to be entirely free from Hie per-,
liicioufs fusil oil which remains in every kind of
Liquor distilled from grain, and which is the cause
of the nervous and visceral derangement, serious
congestion, and moixlid desire for habitual and in
temperate indulgence, which such liquors invariab
ly tend to superinduce.
•3. It is proved, by the same unerring test, that
this Juniper Gin is not flavored with the coarse,
acrid and indigestible oil of juniper heretofore used,
hut with the specifically lighter, more volatile, aro
matic and medicinal of the two essential: oils of the

4. It is chemically proved to he absolutely pure

5. It is proved by extensive medical experience
and testimony, to lie an efficient as well as an agree

subdue the latter frailty, l»v creating a dislike to
