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.) two gentlemen distinguished alike for their great abilities as Jurists, and their devotion to our Constitutional rights. Upon the reception < f Mr. Fiel der’s address I wrote them the follow ing letter, to which th drs is a reply: llf.adqi’ahteks. i 7th Regiment Ga.

Thoma*. */’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. R t TOOMBS, Having shown the utter fallacy of Mr. Fielder’s objection to my eligibility 1 shall not stop to discuss with him h ) ‘•enormities of Phillip 11, and Charles nor what circumstances “give to Europe the D itch Republic.” I have neither the time nor the inclination t > consider those past events My busi ness now is to help whip the Yankees 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 me. He would then be pruning ‘his f.ith by his works.” My competitor seems to have a great horror for “ineu in high military commission,” and in 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 eminent be so ungenerous. But, ini' Fellow-Citizens, I deem it unnecessary to say more. My nmne is before you. Mv position heretofore mid now, as m}’ < flor Is to defend your liberties upon the bat tie-Il eld, are known to the coun try, I claim only to have done my duty. . I shall not neglect the duty 1 owe the brave and gallant mon under my ci ih-nand to go home and canvass f»r office, but am content to trust my com - mmd to go home and canvass for office but am content to trust my interests in the keeping of the intelligent, brave and generous people of the District.— If it be your pleasure to elect, me as your next Representative, 1 shsll ever be grateful and shall strife to yon faith fully and efficiently. For your past uniform kindness, confidence and sup oort, please accept my heart-felt t.ianks Hoping and believing that, tinder the guidance of a kind and protect Provi dence, -itir effirts for Independence will soon be crowned with a glorious success. ■ I am your friend ami ob’t serv’t. L J. GARTRELL. From the Intelligencer. Messrs. Gati.dixg and Whitaker; 1 never was the politlral friei.d of (kd. Gartrell ; I never voted for him.
