Virginia, 3, 1861. I
My Fell nv Citizens of the 8!h Conces
sional Disfriet of Georgia: I trust you
will not deem it improper in my address
ing you briefly upon the subject of my
candidacy to represent you in the next
Confederate Congress A short time
since, after mature deliberation, and
upon the requ"st of many of your fel
low-citizens, I consented to the use of
my name for that high and important
trust I had previously received many
assurances, inducing inc to believe that
if 1 would become a candidate there
would be no opposition to my election
My friends insisted that, as my course
upon the great question of Southern
Rights hail be it approved and endorsed
by the whole people of Georgia, and as
mv term in the old Cong'ress had been
tut sh-‘rt by the prompt secession of
our State, an elec'ion to the new Con
gress wa.-i due ni“. Acting upon these
representations, and bel eving tn it a
majority of the people of the District
desired my sei vices again as their Rep
resentative, 1 agreed to become a can
didate, with the distinct avow.A ol my
determ■ nation not to hold the place lon
ger than one term, as there were othei
gentlemen in the District whose friends
desir id-to honor them, and who weie
equally as well, or perhaps better quaii
fled than myself. It seems, liowevei,
'hat I now have opposition —to which
I enter no complaint. Gue of my o] -
ponen’s, Mr. Herbert Fit Ider, of the
county of I’olk, has issue I a long ad-'
dress to the people ot the District, and,
without at acking my public couise
heretofore, endeavors t-> sh >w that I am
not eligible to a scat in Congress, and
that 'he people* would be violating eith
er the b'.'ier or spirit of our I 'onstii ui ion
to vote for me. The gendeman arrives
at this conclusion by a strange misap
prehension of facts. He quotes a d
relics up >n the foil >wing provision of
the Co-if'-d -rate Constitution, viz :
“And no person holding any olli
nnd'-r the Conf''derate S ites sh ill b;* a
member of ci h-i II uise during his con
tinuance in ofli *<*
And then he in ikes the following as.
tounding dci laration; “lie (meaning
myself) is holding ofli -e un ler the Con
federate States, to con inue twelve
months from the time he was m istered
into service ” How. or from whom, the
gentlemen learned 1 w is “holding ofli. ■
under the Confederate dates’’ is cer
tainly a mystery. Z b'>Ll no offi -e, Irr
■he C >nfede >tf-> >t a>n conns-
i .ned by (1 >v. Frotvn of Ge >rgia ns Col
o md of the "th Georgia Regim -nt. This
fact you will see, entirely destroys his
whole argument. I pen the subject of
my eligibility, an 1 propriety of my can
didacy, I beg your attention to th- foil
owin r correspondence with tin* Hon-
Robert Toombs and Col. T. W Thom
as, ' late Midge of the Supreme Court.)

*/’amp Near Pine Creek, I
Fairfax County, Va. p
Oct. 2d. 1861.)
Col L. J. Gar trail:
Dear Sir;—Your note, dated yester
day, has been handed to us. In that
note you in substance ask us whether,in
our opinion, your holding a seat in
Congress while Colonel of your Regi*
inent would be a violation of the letter
n* spirit of th) Confe lente States Con
sitution. Upon reference to that Sec
tion we find the portion) in question to
be as follows.
“And no person holding any office
under the Confederate States shall be a
member of either House during his con
! tinu nice in office.”
I The facts in your case are these:—
You hold the office of Colonel of a por
tion of the Volunteer Militia of the State
of Georgia, commissioned thefeto by
i her Governor to serve in the defense of
_ the Confederate S ates for 12 months
I from May last. Your Regiment (the
Ith) was raised in Georgia, from
among the militia that State armed and
equipped by Georgia, and all its offi-
i cers, liidd and company, commissioned
IBy Gov. Brown. In what sense it can
j be reasonably contended that you hold’
ari office “</»<?<)'• the Co tfedsrate Stales,”
we are unable to see. We are clearly
i of opinion, therefore, that if the people
;of your district elect you to Congress,
you will not violate the letter of the
I (’oustitntion by accepting the trust and
taking your seaton 22 I next February.
Would you, by so doing, violate the
; spirit of the Constitution? Let us in.--
quire briefly in o the history of this
; clause. We borrowed it (as we did
mos- of the others) from the old United
Slates Constitution. Why did our an
cestors put it into tl.e old! It was to
gu il d agains : a great evil that prevail
ed in the British Government from
which we hid so recently separated.--
The King there was the fountain of
honor; he appointed all officers, and
many were removable at his pleasure.—
<»ur ancestors believed that the repre
sentative of a p *oplc might b.» subser-
■ vien* to Executive power, and not in
i
i ilependent on Executive pleasure. But
if what sense are you dependent on the
j President of the Confederate States?
He would not appoint you'- successor
were you removed. He catin >t remove
y>u at pleasure, nor even for miscon
i duct, except by the judgemen' of your
peers and the laws of the land. We
are clear, therefore, that your accepting
a seat in Congress, while Colonel of the
7lh R ‘giment. would not be a violation
ol the spirit of the Constitution.
These are our views; but suppose
we are wrong -the diflicnlty presented
iis very small. The language is prohib
tory of “holding any office under the
Confederate States” while a member of
j either House. If the House itself should
determine (and it is the sole judge) tha’
you c<"'ld not hold the two offices, you
could on the 22 I February, resign your
commission as Colonel, and then the ob
jection would certainly disappear. 'J he
Constitution does not prohibit a person
from being elected to Congress, even if
he held a commission in the regular
army, and he could take his seat if he
resigned.
We s'*'-therefore, n > illegality in your
name being run and voted for as a
member ol Congress of the Sth District
of Geoi gia, nor do we see any impro
priety whatever. Il the free aen of the
8:h District, see proper to confer npon
you this trust, we hink you ought to
accept it. Your military experience
certainly <l *es ad I to yotirqu ilifications
t > represent the people in the National
Councils. You are better acqu tinted
on account,of it,with the wants an I con
dition <»t the army, and it may be well
for the 39.009 v iluiitee. s in the service
from Georgia 'o have one more mem
bet of their own cl tss in C ingress. —
If the freemen of th- Sth D.strict choose
to -give us one of thus:-, there is nothing
in the Constitution or the proprieties of
the case :o hinder them.
Very respectfully yours ?<c.,
T. W. THOMAS.

and maintain against our infamous foes
ihe rights, honor, and liberties of th *
people of the Conf-derate States and I
call upon Mr. Fielder tocomeand assist

seems to have a great horror for “ineu

timates that to elect them to high civil
station might greatly endanger the
Constitution, Is the gentleman afraid
to trust men who are now risking tliier
live on the tented field in defense o( that
same Constitution, while ho is enjoying
ease and pleasure at home? Surely lie

Messrs. Gati.dixg and Whitaker;
1 never was the politlral friei.d of (kd.
Gartrell ; I never voted for him. But,
if his name continues beforj the vote",-*
<>f the Eight Congiessionul District of
this State, 1 shall vote for him ; and
whether he can h<dd tiro offices at one
time or not.it should m ike no difference
wi h any of those whose friends, or re
latives are under his command, know
ing how nobly he had sustained himself
in the Battle of Man issun, and how hu
manely he treated soldiers tindei In’s
command on their match from Harper’s
Ferry to Winches'er; and when his men
were fainting with heat and fatigue, by
putting such on his horse and himself
taking the march on font, until another
sob'icr, being overtaken fainting by the
way-side, was put npon his horse after
the other had been rested. \\ hy should
not such a man be honored with the
vote of this Listriet.
