THE CONTEST IN GEoRGIA-The Macon
Telegraph, in commenting on the principles
of the Union candidate for Governor, who.
it appears, has in sundry speeches denied the
right Of State to secede, has the following
wel-timed remarks:
"The controversy between South Carolina
and the General Government is not one of
her own seeking, neither does it concern her
self alone 1t is as much contest between
Georgia and Alabama with the North, rs it
is of South Carolina Whatever difference
of opinion there may be with regard 10 the
action of the latter State ut this time, it is
impossible in the very nature of things that
the neighborng States should side with the
Federal Government, and aid in her subju uga-
tion, without scaling their OWE doom. A
State coerced into submission by the General
Government, when .esis'in. irs aggressions
on the institution of slavery, will be q proc
lamation to the whole world that abolition
is triumphant on this continent. 1t will be
virtually telling the enemies of slavery
throughout the Union, that we are ready to
yield up the whole question and pass quietly
under thc'yoke of reckless and aggressive
majority in Congress. If the people of
Georgia desire to let their voice be heard on
the side of effectual resistance to Northern
aggression, let them affirm the right of
State to seccde, although they may never
wish to exercise it. But if, on the other
hand, satisfied with anything they can get
from their Northern masters, which God in
his mercy forbid, they wish to send to such
friends of the Union as Fillmore g. Co. the
"ea-th and water" the tokens Of absolute
unconditional submission, they can do it i'll
no way more effectualy than by electing q
Governor who denies the right of secession,
or remains silent while the right is denied
by abolitionists and freesoilers at the North,
and subInissionists at home"
GREETING FROM AFAR-The Washington
Republic devotes considerable space to The
late Hamburg Meeting, which it terms pop
ular movement, doubtless in Ignorance of the
fact that the meeting embraced 200 persons
principally from Hamburg, Granitevillc, and
Augusta. We would not admit that all
Edgefield District was the State, but the at
tempt to pass off the voice of small sec
ton of Edge6eld, reinforced from Augusta,
Ga, as the sense of the State: is truly redic-
ulous and Republican. The Republic is
highly delighted with the letter Of Mr.. Burt,
and says of it;
aIts calm good sense contrasts SO favora-
bly, with the frantic defamation of such gen.
tIelnen rs Mr.. Woodward and Mr.. Rhett,
that it cannot fail to produce strong i'm
preston on the public mind of the State.
"Calm good sense" with vengeance,
truly! Will the Republic point out any
document emanating from the pen of MIR.

TRENTON, Gibson Co. Tenn, Nov 7, '49.
Nlcssrs. ScovIL e. Nfead-Gentlcmen: The
Hebrew Flaster is becoming popular in this section.
There is q lady in this county who says she would
not be without this Plaster for five hundred dol
lars year. She was afflicted for some time with
on enlargement of the spleen, which gave her q
great deal Of pain. The swelling and pain had
extended up nearly 10 the armpit, and occasionally
she could scarcely breathe. She was confined for
a considerable time, during which she was attend
ed by some of our best physicians, but they gave
her no relief. She procured a box of the Hebrew
Plaster, and it relieved her almost immet lately,
and now she keeps supply Of it on hand constant
