EXTRAORDINARY CORRESPONDENCE.
A DYING EFFORT I
We call the attention of om readers to
the following letter of the defeated Can
didate* for Mayor and Aldermen at the
lection on Monday last, addressed to the
•uocwuful party, end the reply thereto.
Atlanta, January, 17tl* 1855,
Diaa Sir :—A» w<> allege, and are pre
pared co jurocs, fAul /made, were
perpetrated, in the city Election on Mon
day last, by which the will of the majori
ty was defeated, by the rotes of wm resi
dentt, aliens, and u'bers, and believing as
re do, that no honorable man would wish,
or consent to hold office, obtained bv fraud,
•ad not in accordance with the wishes of
a majority of hia fellow citizens,
We propose in the absence of any city
ordinance providing for this contingency
io have tho Ballot Box purged by the bte
Managers, nt a Comm it too appoint'd by
the citizen#, that it utay b* kn<»wo who
have been legally elected. «
N'it doubting that you will concur In
the Equity, and propriety of this course,
we propose, that you appoint any day
within the present month, when it will
beat suit your convenience to have the in- 1
veatigMion, or should you prefer it, we!
propose to submit the question, again to
the Eroemen of Atlanta.
Very Respectfully,
Your fellow Citizens, i

(Jrmtlkmkn Your extraordinary note
of to day ia before us. You proceed to
State that, “ As we alley • and are prepar
ed to prove, that gron f'rawle were per I
petrsted in tie city election, on Monday
bat, by which the will of the majority wna
defeated by the votes of non resident*, ale
«m, and others, and believing as we do
•hat no honorable man Would wish or oun-
SWQt tn hold office, obtained I y haul. and
eot in •ooord.ince with the wtah •« of a
majority of his fellow citizens,''
•'We propose in the absence of any
Oitf Ordinance providing for this con tin
fancy, to bare the Ballot Box purged by
the late Managers or a Committee appolu
•nd by the citizens, that it may be known
who have been legally elected ”
“ Not doubting that you will concur In
the Equity and propriety of this course,
we propose that you appoint suy day with
in the present month, when it will bn.it 1
Suit your convenience to have the iuvjsl <
ligation, or should y*»« prefer it, we pro*'
pose to a ibiuit the question again to tbo ;
Freeman of Atlanta."
We find this document signed by those
•amw* that <ompoeed th d fatc-d Tiol el'
es American nlias the Know Nothin/ par
ty, on Monday lest, with the important ex
ception of Mr. C. H. Strong who ww the
only one of that Ticket ciocted.
If you oonld prove fraud, Ao, why did
you not do it before the Managers at the
•ime the voire were polled? It certainly
was oot owing to your want of vigilance,
{hr you had efficient challengers al their
post, and if you failed tn entwine* the
Managers then of the illegality of the
totre. it is but rcaaonnble to suppose ’hat
• new attempt would likewise &d. end be
the cause «f an excitement, that eouid
butgb<£pr*judi«*uii|ro the interest* of the
shy, or at lee*c to its peace and quiet. —
Nevertheless, if we thoughtthere waa jW
grmsnd fw yens ehmgta, wo might enter
tiin them But vhwiug them a* the hst
efforts of a defeated foe, whn*c near ap
proach to success, makes resignation to
defeat doubly severe even st ths hit test'd
of your opinions of our generosity, we
•hall ba A>re*d to pass them by with the
teouirk, that while we do uot know of one
illegal »<><• ue el 'her side, we ere assurtd
by gentlemen. wh>®j vo ssnimt doubt, (end
who have the names and witawuiea,) that
ynur side did poll a lar/e numbe; of H.
legal voesg, and wo are zafermed that yvu
arc similarly situated, with a list, with a
copy of which I have been furnished by
friends. Your propositions are all illegal, I
which you evidently admit, and in your '
appeal to our in ignanin.ity, you propose ;
to have recourse to a course of action that i
would involve us all in a kbarynth of er-J
rore, and even criminal acts.
tVe think, with candor, that discomfit-j
are hu# more to do with it, than a desi , e i
to prettfirva the purity of the Ballot Box-
In fact, tho only effective remedy you!
have lor that, in to prosecute those who
voted illegally, instead of arou-ing the
feelings of a people nearly divided, who'
have just emerged from a heated and vio-!
lent contest to tight the battle over again-
Your opinions as to the propriety us I
our holding office under the circumstin- j
oes, wo are somewhat at a lom to place a I
proper construction on. If you intended
to offer us a personal indignity, it certain-'
ly would have been more manly to have
done so directly and unmistakesbly; then as
individuals wo would not bo at a loss how
to act.—ls you intended it for advice, it
was certainly very and will
be viewed s, by us and doubtless by the
public.
While we dissent from your opinions,
we are free to «ay that were we convinced
that we were not elected by a majority, no
consideration could induce us to Kerre.
Yiowing the whole matter as it stands,
it is apparent that thia is but a IriaA- by :
which to make capital to preserve the
prestige of invincibility, which has been ;
the source of all the victories of your se
cret ord r.
Y.mr note of to-day is more extraordin
ary wh< n we reflect that the managens
were men of known probity, and that you
were ’eul'y represented and afteryourhav
ing on yesterday spent the day in efforts to,
prevent the expressed will of the majority
from being cmrried vnt, wa received a
message saying all objections were with
drawn and that wo could go firward nnd
be sworn io to office.
Gentlemen, hoping that time and re
flection will sooth your feelings and teach
you the important lesson of resignation to
the will of tho people.
We are respectfully
your ob’t. scrvt’t.

We need scarcely add n word, after what
has br»oB auid by the Mayor and Alder
men eHet in the foregoing letter. But as
the result of the elacriou has been made
tho snhiect r>f coinm»'nt in yesterday's
•* Republican /’ and, as we think, of im
proper rtmtftvk j it ia a duty we owe the
public, and to those, particularly, who vo
i ted for the people's ticket, to correct th«
' same, in order that falso impressions may
‘ not bo «mde at- a distance from Atlanta.
, Th*' “ Republican" sets out with the
remarkjthat “ the elections which came
off on Monday, caused a guod deal of ex
citement in our usually quiet »nd peace
able city.” This is indeed very trnc.-
Thev did cuno extraordinary excitement,
■ which wa regret to any, has not yet alto
gether hbutvd But while that paper is
right thu.} far, it goes cn to say, that “ It
passed without any serious disturbance of
, dm public peace, only two or three slight
! persona! rooevunters growing out of the
1 freo usq ol alcohol, whi-di was fr&ejy sup
; piled, wo regret to wy, to the friends of
the “ Peoples’ Ticket.” This unjust hu
• putution wo did not expect from the Re'
| publican. Alcohol was freely supplied,
i hut it was to “ the friends of the
People s> Ticket" ns that p iper in
tini'ites, is far. very far. from the truth;!
and that it was this which caused a dis-!
turbaiice of the public poace, is cqudly;
uutrti? A Htateinuut, so partial, we c.n
not without correction. The friends
of the People’s Ticket are as much
the friends of sobriety, good order/ ?-nd
are->s zyaLus always iu maiutaiuiug the'
peace r.ud quiet o*' this city, as it is rxw
siblc f<>r the friends of the other ticket, at
>1 our time, tube The charge therefore, as
J muii, is indiginutlv repelled. Wer* i.
, prujM'a we could cite to many a case where
in. bri t re were nradf by the friends of the
i Know Nothing J iekei, nnd to u.anx a
■ boisterous voter fur that ticket, who, but
| for indulgence in alcohol, might have con
ducted hiuisei> a a itli becoming propriety. l
J Whether intended, or u it, this remark of j
’ the Republican k calculated io cvnvey the
; ides cf groat propriety marking tho onurso t
l of the trumdaox one ticket, and the con
trary of th« other; neither of which is
tin-'; mi we but express a couxuon feel-
! iog of the friends of the people’s ticket,
when we indignantly repel the unjust, and
1 ungenerous imputation.
Tho Republoau further states tiut “it was,
by no means a hotly contested election,”
for so far as tho observation of the edito r
went, “the exertions were altogther on
one side.” In this the “Republican" 1
decidedly mistaken. It was as hotly con e
tested an election, as this or any other city
ever witnessed. The vote, itself, polled
on the occasion is evidence of this. We
were an active participant in what we con
sidered then, the duties of the day, and
we know that the “Ignorant Order,” rain
shackled for the occasion, made desper.
ate efforts not only for success, but to
crowd out voters from the ballot box.—
They not only did this, but they charter
ed, we are informed, a commodious hack
land team to serenade the city in honor of
their anticipated triumph. Nay, more,
hey resorted to the pit ful trick, of past,
ing tickets over tho ‘ People’s Ticket,"
in order to deceive the unlettered and un
weary. Should it become necessary, we
will chronicle other dirty tricks that were
practised by this falsely styled American
party, but for the honor of our city, we
forbear.
As to the Republican’s remarks on ille
gal voting, we shall only observe that w»
are prepared to prove this practice, un the
day of election, upon some, if not all the
friends of the ticket styled the “Ameri
can Ticket," and that will be done when
ever tho investigation to which the Repub
lican refers takes place. But of this, our
neighbor need entertain, in our opinion,
no hope The Mayor and Aidermen elect
know their rights, and the duty they owe
the citizens of Atlanta. Tney will there
fore go on to maintain the cue, and dis
charge the other, however afflictive it may
prove to tho ''lgnorant Order'' and their
abettors.
i
fi-saylt is but proper that wa should !
state that the joint answer of the Mayor j
and Aldermen elect, to tho defeated
Ticket, docs not contain the name of
John Glenn, Esq. Wo are author,
ized to say, by those who waited on
Mr. Glenn, that he approved the letter
and would have signed it, but, that he had
already replied individually. We deem
ibis an act of justice to Mr. G. that bo
may not be misn presented or misunder
stood.
