SHAREHOLDERS OPPOSED TO Mr.. CLAY BECAUSE
HE is OPPOSED TO SLAvERY-The following res
olutions adopted at public meeting of the State
rights party, of Oglethorp County, Ga, will show
what light the South regards Mr.. Clay views of
slavery
Resolved, That the construction of the
Constitution by Mr.. Clay and the party to
which he belongs, takes from the people the
security for their liberties, intended to be
provided by their forefathers in the forma-
ton of the Government, and as especially
dangerous to shareholders, who have no 9TH
err security for the peaceful enjoyment of
their property against the legislation of
prejudiced country.
Resolved, That Mr.. Clay's denunciation
in Congress of SLAVERY las it exists with u.s.
cas- the darkest spot upon its (the countrys)
MANTLE" adds to the evidence, drawn from
the American system, that he seeks to be
made President by sacrificing oar interests
to Northern Manufacturers, and our charac-
ter to crafty their prejudces.
So it appears that the Southern slave-hOlders-
those who determined to cling TO the institution
ofslavery at all hazards and defend in all its bear
ings, object to Mr.. Clay because he looks upon the
matter differently from them. Mr.. Clay has been
violently assailed in some quarters, on account OF
his views in regard to slavery, or the views he has
been supposed TO entertain. But if we may form
any opinion by the above resolutions the Southern
ers are very far from considering Mr.. Clay as an
advocate Of slavery, apologist for its evils
Those who are welded to the institution, and are
watching with jealous eye every movement which
operates against slavery, fear Mr.. Clay and the
party with which he acts at the north. If he was
staunch defender Of the institution, the South
would most assuredly know it, and raise no objec-
tons to him on the of his Anti Slavery prin-
ciples. We believe Mr. Clay does regard slavery
evil, and thinks it 'the darkest spot upon the
country's mantle"

GuILFoRD, August IL, 1913.
Messrs.-Having, during number OF years last
past, acted in concert with what is called the Wing
party, and having done conscientiously, and at
the time have ever been the enemy Of slave
~ in every form, contrary TO the laws OF the
Creator and the good of his creatures, | observed
in one of the liberty papers Of this State certain
questions propounded TO the nominee OF the Wing
party Hon. J. Mattocks, relative TO the subject OF
slavery one Of which was, "Will you vote under
any possible circumstances for a slave holder, &c.
These questions were answered with manliness
that much gratiied me, although there appeared a
sort of discrepancy in his avowed opposition TO
slavery, and the manner in which he would cast
his vote, supposing certain contingency OF nomi-
nations should occur On reading the above ma
med questions, and the answer by the Hon. nomi-
nee, / felt that neither the questions nor answer
fully satisfied my mind, and it could take refuge
under more perfect system OF opposition TO slave
ry, would most willingly do it. Feeling that in
the persons Of the nominees of the liberty party
should find, not only the avowed principles, but al.
the practices of this at least respectable party,
would with bodness, as becomes every freeman,
(when called upon to cast his suffrage for candi-
date Of any partly ask the following Gas may be
considered simpe) questions
Do you, or either Of you, either on your own
persons in your families, purchase or use any OF
the products Of slave labor, such as Rice, Cotton,
Tobacco, or Sugar, or in fact any other articles
Do you, either OF you, approve of purchasing
the products OF slave labor tor any purpose what
ever?
Would you vote for a man that thus upholds
slavery, by purchasing the products of slave labor
Would you take paper of any kind that was
printed on paper made Of cotton, the growth OF
slave labor
The above questions have suggested themselves
on reading Hon. J. Mattocks' reply to the questions
proposed by the periodical above referred TO-, for il
appears to me- as humble inquirer after truth, that
the man that purchases and consumes the labor Of
the slave, patronizes and sustans the institution Of
slavery full as much, and is as fully inconsistent
as the man who declares openly that under a GER
tain contingency he should cast his ballot for slave
holder. An early answer as is convenient, is re
spectfully solicited.
Yours, very respectfully,
A WING.

"RRITISH INFLUENCE

There is Locofoco paper at Burlington,

IL Of Coughs, Colds, Catarrhs, Asthma,
Soreness of the chest, pain in the side and
breast, raising of blood, Liver Complaint,
Bronchitis, and all those affections OF the throat
and lungs, which are a source Of so much sul-
fering, and, unarrested, 80 often terminate in
Consumption-this remedy is highly and justly
distinguished II is purely vegetable, mild and
gentle in its effects upon the system, and can
be taken in the most delicate cases with safety
as well as utility. Physicians aware Of its me-
dicina properties and witnessing its effects

renty almost hopeless cases, often prescribe il
in their practice, both as palliative and REM
edy, and with the Medical Faculty generally il
has met with great spprobation.
C0NSUMPTl0N.-Th following remarks
were taken from late number Of the Medical
Magazine. The surprising effect produced by
the genuine DR.. Taylor's Balsam Of Liverwort,
made at SIS Bowery, in Consumption cases,
cannot fail exciting deep and thrilling interest
throughout the world. We have so long be-
