UJtjJ IMIIHU uy V U ii" I gress. Whatever is compatible with the honor and obligations of the people of this Stale to the country, its laws, and its siitulions, I doubt not will receive their Warm support, in an hour of danger, when your institutions are in jeopardy your feelings wantonly outraged your social organization derided your honor deeply wounded, and the Federal Constitution violated by a scries of aggressive meas ures, all tending to the consumation of one object, the abolition of slavery. The common territory of all which you have an equal right to occupy and enjoy, has been denied you in the solemn form of law, under prepenses the most shallow it well becomes you to assemble, to delib-f-'ate and counsel together for your mu- tual preservation and safety, whatever it may cost. The extraordinary events by which we are encompassed and the meas ures will demand or justify, must be left, as it should be, to the patriotism, firmness, and prudence of the people themselves. Upon them devolves the duty of redress ing present wrongs, and providing other safeguards for future security neither the one nor the other of which, however, will ever' be effectually accomplished, un til by patriotic efforts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling are restored, and concert of action produced among the people of the South. In view, therefore, of the atrocious Free.-soil sentiment and policy, not mere ly of the non-slavcholding Stales, but of the Government of the imminent peril to which the institution of slavery is re duced by the -act of Congress, admitting, the State of California into the Union with a constitution containing the principle of the fVilmot Proviso, and in defiance of our warning and earnest rcmons!ranp in view ot me UcploraDle lact that some; r ...... r- . i c j - - v diversity oi opinion exists in some of the Southern Slates, as to the proper mode, of redressing and avoiding the dangers, which all must see and feel; let me, fellow eitizens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each other, n deep abi ding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence, and approach the task from which there is no escape, of deciding upon your duty to Georgia and the country, with a firm step, but not without calm, deliberate and patient investigation, con sulting neither fears or dangeis on the one hand, nor permitting yourselves from ex- asperated feelings of wrong or. the other,! to be rashly urged to Extreme Measures,!

This im portant bill, as it has passed Congress, is stringent. It is made the duty of all Unr ted States Marshals and Deputy Marshals to obey, and execute all warrants for the arrest of fugitives, and should the fugi tives escape, the Marshals are liable to be prosecuted under their "official bonds. If they decline diligently to execute the warrant, they are subject to a fine of $lr 000.

The machinery is driven by Burdon's celebrated horizontal 1 engine. The foundry will be ready in about three weeks to furnish iron, brass, or com position castings. HERDSMAN'S SONG. Known as the Echo Song. SUNG BY MD'lLE LJND. Come hither, come hither, my pretty herd Huah, huah, huah, huah, huah. Come, ox and cow and weanling brood, And hasten to taste of the morning foodj For night with her shade creeps darken ing on, Ring shrill horn on tlie mountain round, And follow my cattle the welcome sound, Huah, huah, huah. to grateful abundance my flock speed ye. Long beside where hearth-fires burn, My love has awaited my return. Soon I clasp the treasure, In an estacy of pleasure, Paradis'd upon her arm, No care can grieve, no ill can harm.

From the Portsmouth Pilot. Dangerous Exploit. At Baltimore, on Thursday afternoon, Ilerr Ryninger accomplished the feat of walking on a sin gle wire from the roof of the Powhattan House, foot of Broadway, to the Euro-, pean House, on Thames street, below Broadway. The wire was about tho thickness of those used on the telegraphic line, and extended about four hundred, feet, commencing at a height of forty feet, and gradually descending to the ground. This wonderful feat was performed with the greatest ease and facility .and appa rently with as much confidence on the part ofthe performer as if he were walk ing on the ground. A Finished Place The Dutch mafi says that the only finished place in this country is Lansingburg. For the last twenty years there has not been a board added or a nail drove in the whole place. A man undertook to repair his stoop last week, and he was promptly arrested and sent to jail. The whole village still be lieves that DeWit Clinton is Governor, of the State. That is the place to which a person ought to go for a finished educa tion. - - , J3The Capitol of the United States is to be improved very greatly, as will be seen by the following from the Union: The Senate were yesterday engaged on the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill. They added an amendment providing $100,000 for erecting two wings to the Capitcl, for the purpose of making more convenient halls for the two houses of Congress an arrangement whicrr we trust will be executed without delay, for the present hall of the House of Represen tatives is decidedly one of the worst in lhe world for hearing; and, secondly, they appropriated $10,000 for the accommoda tion ofthe Turkish ambassador, who has recently arrived in the United States. He is now in this city, dressed neatly, but in the extravagant style of the Turk ish costume. He visited the hall of the House of Representatives yesterday, and received a cordial welcome. Machine for Milking Cows. A very curious but simple apparatus for milking cows was exhibited at the rec nt Stato Fair in Albany. The milking of his cows costs a dairyman much time, trouble apd embarrassment. This contrivance gets - rid of all the labor, and spare nine-tenths more than four or five minutes.
