We doubt not that the democracy will at

ill will attend who can possibly do so.
Most cordially, too, do we invite our

Jadgs Brawn a»4 B. H. Hill, K«|.
For the purpose of giving our readers full
and itliable particulars of these different meet- j
mgs, ooe of as attended them and speak
from the record.
From Newnan, we went to Carrollton, and
found a large concourse of the people assem
bled at the Female Seminary to hear the dis
cussions of Candida tea for Governor and Con
gress.
J udge Brown commenced in a calm and
dignified speech, in which be commented npon
the varkxu issues now before the people. In
the Southern Rights issue be had allied himself
with that party, bad stood by it throughout its
tiisteoce, and preferred ever to be found on
the side of his native South. On the Georgia
Platform he found means and measures of re
tires for the contingencies that might again
arise, arid, consequently, be stood firmly upon
every plank of it
He took op the Kansas-Nebraska act, and
■bowed its alliance in principle with the Geor
gia Platform upon which every good and true
roan stood in Georgia. He then took up tbe
alien suflrage feature, and showed that it re
ferred only to tbo first election in tbe territory;
that then the legislature prescribed the qualifi
cation of voters, and excluded aliens from
voting. In the first election proslavery men
bad been elected, and ibis cry of alien suffrage
was a more shadowy humbug, without any
practical effect whatever.
He took up and showed the different pceL
tions occupied by hi* opponent on this qu«-
tioo— the different resolutions of hi9 party ap
proving it, then their denunciatisns of all who
opposed it; and referred to tbeir position as
condsmned by tbemselve.-.
Hs than alluded to the instructions of Pres
ident Buchanan; denounced Walker for tran
scending them; deemed it sate to await Air.
Buchanan's action on this question; would
stand on tbe 3rd Milledgevilie resolution, and
relieved Mr. Buchanan would not sustain Gov
Walker, but if be did, he would not sustain
Mr. Buchanan in this act, which be believed
was justly offensive to Southern men. This is
a mere outline, as the Judge went into a close
connected argument and sustained bis positions
with ability.
Mr. Hill’s reply was ingenious. He ar
gued tbe Kansas question, and attempted to
explain the differed positions hia party bad
assumed np on it. He denounced alien iu f-
ftage—denounced Walker—denounced Bucbv
anau -denounced tbe democratic party;—but
tbe meet difficult position he bad to contend
against, was his own resole tions, offered by
himself in Troup county, when be was not a
candidate for Governor. Upon theee he evi
dently tell ill at ease and hisexplaaatioos were
far from mtisfactory.
From Carrollton we went to Franklin ;
found the Democratic Party id fine spirits,
(and looked confidently to a large majority.—

jMscaaaions —Brown and Hill.—Ike
Ksmsdy.
In the discussion at Newnan, between the
candidates for Governor, Judge Brown re
plied to that part of Mr. Hill’s speech which
charged that Kansas had been lost to ths
South by the misconduct of \V alker and
Buchanan, by aaying that Mr. Fillmore in
the North and his friends in the South, in
cluding Mr. Hill, had given up Kansas to
frsesoil in advance of the struggle, while
the Democracy of the South had contended
fot it to the last ; that he had still hope it
would be a slave State ; buteven if it was not,
tbe objection that it had been lost to tbe South
by mismanagement, eaioo with a bad grace
from Mr. Hill and his parly who deprecated
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
yielded Kansas to frees oil.
The Judge then lurning to Mr. H. said—
“concede Kansas to be iost to the South,
and what is vour remedy 1 Hotv do you
propose to get u back 1” And referred to the
“ ray ot light from Buffalo,” (Mr. Fillmore,)
alluded to by the Chronicle A Sentinel.
Mr. Hill replied, he did not look to Mr.
Fillmore as hia remedy; but failed to give
any other.
At Carrollton, during the discussion,
Judge B. called on Mr. H. again for his
remedy, and he then said—‘ a united South.’
•Then,’ said Judge B., ‘as the Democracy
of the South are largely in the majority, and
you approve of that part of the Mil ledge
ville democratic platform which relates to
Kansas, go with us, and vote for me and
Col. Gartrell, and let us have a ‘ united
South.*
At Franklin, iu Heard county, when they
met again in discussion, Judge B. again
called on Mr. H. for his remedy, and he
gave ‘ the Ballot Box.’ Judge B. replied
(hat Mr. H. had changed his remedy; that
he supposed Mr. H. meant by the * Ballot
Box remedy' the Democracy were to abandon
their principles—join the K. Ns., and rote
for him ; that this remedy would be very
convenient for Mr. H., but it would be of
little benefit to the South, as Mr. H. could
bring no support from the North to the
cause of the South in Kansas ; askiog him if
he could point to a single ‘American'trom the
i Northern States who would rote in the next
Congress to admit Kansas as a slave State
and if so to give his name. Mr. Hill could
give none, and thus felt himself in the
fortunate position of lamenting over the loss
of territory which he had himself given up
without a struggle, and ot endeavoring to
divide the Democratic Party on that ques
tion when he had no remedy to propose.
The true and faithful friends of the demo
cratic cause—the men who have stood by it
and rejoiced in its thousand victories will
not abandon its cherished, principles to join
the K. Ns. and vote for Mr. Hill, for this
would be a remedy worse than the disease.

“The Candidates for Congress for this Dis
trici and the nominees for Governor, of both
politicul parties, met here ou Tuesday last in
public discussion. A large number of peo
ple were in attendance. The debate was con -
ducted in the bes. spirit, but we itre unable to
notice it at length from severe indisposition
at tbe present writing, which our Phys'cian
seem* to insinuate is the Walker Grippe.
There is one little incident, however, which
we cannot forbear alluding to' At the close
of the discussion, with every thing in favor of
Brown and Gartrell aud the Democratic
cause, Mr. Hill, who had absented himself
daring the whole of Gartrell's speech, popped
himself up in the Stand, aud stated that he
had beeu rtyucsted by the Ladies, to rentaiu
over and deliver tlieui an address at night iu
the Cburt House. This immediately brought
to our mind n somewhat similar circuwstuuce
which occurred jn this place, in the canvass
between him a d Warner. Ou the iatter oo
casion 'Sir. Hill adjourned to the Court
Honse at the request ol the Know Nothing-,
after the discussion, and abused Warner for
all the Shanghai's imaginable. Of course the
request of the Ladirs on Tuesday could not
be relused, and it was agreed that Mr. Hi 1
should remain os desired. An amendment to
this arrangment was immediately proposed
and carried unanimously—and it wus that
Gartrell should remain and reply to 11 ill. This
took Ben by surprise—tut how could be ob
ject. That evening it rained, and the Ameri
can nominee for Governor was of course saved
from a genteel skinning in the prsence of the
Ladies."

Henry t'Aiy'i Opinion.—It is not a little ro-
thAl.iboso jtaroals and those par
tisans who until the Supreme Court of the
Unite*fttates far declaring that negroes are
not cithnis of the United States, ehntild so
suddenly have awakened to the illegality of
the doctrine,thee it bus been acted upou ever
since the formation of the Government’ Sev
eral Stato courts, and among them, Pennsyl
vania and Connectiout, have made tho same
decisio n, and yet no outcry was umdoj against
it.—Most of three partisans tveie tho support
ers ot'iHenry Olay while ho lived, although
he boldly expressed the same convictions. On
the 18Ui of December, 1851, Mr Clay intro*
duceil a resolution in the United States Senate,
in regard to th« Autbony Burns' fugitive case,
in Boston, where a mob of negroes sought to
prevent the execution of the law. He is thus
reprrtedin the Congressional Gtuhe'.
"But, sir,” said Mr, Clay, “this is not alt.
By whom was that mob impelled onward? By
our owu race? No, sir, by negroes; by afric*»
dt sc:ndunts; by people whopown no part,osl
contend, in our political system; and the ques
tion which arises is, whether we shall have law;
and whether the nwjeety of the Government
shall be maintained or uot; whether. we shall
have u government of white men or black men
in the cities of this country.”
Now, if “African descendants have no part
in our political system,” how can they be citi
zen® of the United Stabs? Mr. Clay was not
attacked for expressing such opinions, for,
at the time they were uttered, nobody but a
few ultras doubted their judicial and constitu
tional correctness.— [Cincinnati Em/uirer

A B’hoy at School.—One of the juveniles,
though considerably advanced, presented him-
self uot long since for admission to a public

tbe master resolved to enter inti a little exam-

gret that time and space will now neccesarily
make this notice a brief one. We wish, as
we write, that it could be otherwise, for the
gallant manner in which Col. Gartrell has
battled for the democratic cause ; the suc
cess which he achieved over his antagonist;
and the galling fire that he directed at “ our

that which is good. Suffice it then to say;
that in every discussion, Col. Tidwell’s pre

grees and beautifully less.” -He w as, and is,
no match for bis eloquent antagonist. Tht

were utter demolition to Ins hopes, and to
those of his party. In a day or two we shall

at Carrollton, and one between Mr. Hill and

though we could not say less.
Governor Jones of Tennessee
The Memphis Morning Bulletin, of the
30th ultimo, contains Gov.’ Jones’ speech
delivered at LaGrange, in Tennessee, two
days previously. To the concluding por
lion of it, referring as it does'to the Walker
Kansas question, we invite the attention of
our readers. It is as follows ;
“ But, said the Governor, lam told that
the (south has been betrayed by Walker
who was sent out as Governor of Kansas by
the Administration, and that, after all, Kan
sas will be a free Stale, and therefore
should go against the democratic party
Now I think Gov. Walker went too far
when he said that the Constitution to be
framed by the Convention must be submit
ted directly to the people, or he would not
regard it. There is no objection to that be
ing dour Our owa State Constitution was
submitted to a direct vote of tbe people, and it
has beeu dooe io other Instances But that is
matter with tbe Convention who are chosen to
frame a Constitnlioo, and Gov. Walker, in the
pomtiou he take*, usurp*, in my judgment, the
prerogative of tbe Convection. But surely do
ooe will contend that if tbe people do uot wish
slavery that it should he forced upon them, or
vice vena.”
“And just here, Saul tbe Governor, loos at
ton incoosBfency ol these know-nothings who
are denouncing tbe repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and denouncing Walker in the same
company with his nephew, Mr. Lockhart, the
horse which Mr. L. was driving, ran away,
about five miles from Tbomaston. aud threw
him out of the buggy on a pile of rocks, very
seriqusly if not latally injuring him. These
facts, says the Columbus Enquirer of yester
day, were commuoieated to the people iu wait
ing at Talbottou, through a letter from P. W.
Alexander, Esq., of Upson, os an excuse for
the abeeDCO of Mr. Trippe. The meeting was
addres-c-d by other gentlemen.—Moron Geor
gia Citizen.
The Morality of the Russian Court.—The
Emperor Nicholas was never more despotic
than in his predilections of his subjects’ wives,
and the said subjects felt themselves duly hon
ored by the preference.
M. de Kuitnre relates the followiug: ‘And
does the Czar never experience resistance the
in the object of bis capice himself, asked I of
lady, who wag amiable, witty, and virtuous as
far as it was possible to be so in Russia, aud
who gave me these details- ‘Never,’ * * » *

U it surprise.
‘Howcould it be possible?’ ‘But take care,

A Joke for Selfish Husbands—Lord
Ellcnborough was once about to go on the
circuit, when Lady Ellenborough said that she
should like to accompany him. He replied
that he had no objection, provided the did
not encumber the carnage with bandboxes,
which were his utter abhorence. During the
first day’s journey Lord Ellcnborough, hap
pening to stretch his legs, struck his foot
agaiust something below the ?eat. He dis
covered that it was a bandbox. Up went
the window and out went the bandbox. The
coachman stopped, and the footman, think
ing that the bandbox had tumbled out of the
window by some extraordinary chance, was
going to pick it np, when Lord Ellcnborough
furiously called out, “Drive on!” The baod-
box was accordingly left by the ditch side.
Having reached the county town where he wa s
to officiate os judge, Lord Ellenborough pro
ceeded to array himself for his appearance in
tbe court house. 'Now,” said he, “where's
my wig ?” “My Lord,” replied his attendant,
‘it was thrown out of the carriage window.'
Important Legal Question Settled.—
The hirer of a slave, under a general con
tract of hire, is guilty of a conversion if lie
hires said slave to another during the terjn
of hire, without the consent of the %>Wner,
and is liable in an action of trover for his
value. (3, Sneed, p. 275.)
This question lias never before been ad
judged iirTennessec, and ought now to he
known and understood by all concerned
hiring slaves. The owner may be willing
to entrust his slave to one man on,#tcconnt
of his humanity, or for other reasons; hut
