[ Virginia, 3, 1861. j -L’t/ Fell -w-Citizens of the Sih C >ng ee sional District of Georg'a: I trust ytm 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 request of many of your fel low-citizens, I consented to the use ol my name for that high and important trust I had previous'y received many assurances, inducing me to believe that if I 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 had been approved and endorsed by the whole people of Georgia, and as mv term in the old Congress had beer, tui sh-Tt by the prompt secession of our State, an elec ion to the new Con gross waj due me. Acting upon thest representations, and bel.eving tint a majority of the people of the ihstrict desired my services again as their Rep resentutive, 1 agreed io become a can didate, with the distinct avow 1 of my determ.nation not to hold the place lon ger than one term, as there v’ere other gentlemen in the Di-trict whose friends desir 'd to honor them, and who were equally as well, or perhaps better qu di fled than myself. It seems, however, hat 1 now hive opposition —to which I enter no complaint. One of mv o| - ponen’s, Mr. Herbert Fielder, of the county of Polk, has issue I a long ad dress to the people of llie D.strict, ami, without at'acking my public course heretofore, endeavors t" show that I am not eligible to a seat in Congress, and that he people would Ite violating eitli <-r the letter or spirit of our ' 'onstii at ion to vote for me. Ihe gen leman arrives 4 this conclusion by a strange mts.ip pii'hei.sion of facts, lie quotes a d relies up >n the foil iwing | revision <»! the Co federate Constitution, viz : “And no person holding any ollie, under the Confederate Sites shall be a member of ci het II ms 1 during his con inuance in office ” And then he makes the following as toun ing declaration: 14 e (moaning nvself) is ii tiding ofli *o under the Con ('derate States, to con inne tw. iv" nontlis from the time he was mustered -inlu suivice ” How, or f rom wli un, the genjlemen learned I w is“li »l ling oiii -B" under the Confederate States’’ is cor t.iinly a mystery.

LUCIF' J. GARTRELL G n. R. Toombs at.d C >!. 1 nomas 'A . Ramp Near Pine Cr-ek, 1 Fairfax County, Va > Oct. 2d. 1861.) f’oZ. L J. Gortrell-. Dear Sir:-—Your n )‘e, dated yest< r day, has been handed to us. In that note yon in substance ask us whether.in >ur opinion, your holding a seat in 'ongress while I’olonel of your Regi ment wonLl be a violation of the letter >r spirit of til 1 Cotife 1 crate States Con stitution. Upon reference to that Sec tion we find ihe portion in question to be as follows. “And no person holding any office under the <’onfederate States shall tie a member of either House during his con tinuance in office.” The facts in your case are these: You hold the office of Colonel of a por Hon of the Volunteer Militia of the State >f Georgia, commissioned thereto by her Governor to serve in the defense of die Confederate S ates for 12 months from Miy last. Your Regiment (the 7di) was raised in Georgia, from among the militia that State arine I and equipped Ly Geo-gia, and all its offi cers, field and company, commissioned by Gov. Brown. In what sense it cm l>c reason ably contended tha’ you hold an office l 'ande<- the Co 'federate S'a’e.if' we a e unable to see. We are clearly of opinion, therefore, th it if the people of your district elect you to Congress, you will n't violate the letter of the •’institution by accepting the trust and taking your scat on 22 1 next February. Would you, by so d >ing, violate th” spirit of the Constitution? Let us in-' • jaire briefly in o the history of .this (Titise. We borrowed it (as we did mos’ of the others) from the old United states Constitution. Why did our an cestors pul it into the old! Ir. was to gu ird . igains a great evil that prevail ed in the British Govei nmei.t from wh ch we had so recently separated.— i'he King there was the lonntlin of ; h m >r; he app lintea all officers, and | many were rem ivable at. his pleasure.— ! our ancestors believed th it the repre- I son tat ve of a p'ople might be subser i - i n to Executive power, and not in j d.']>en lent on Executive pleasure. But I if what sens * are you d 'pendent on the : P.es Ii nt o| the ■'onfederate States? ' .le wml I not app tint yoir* successor i w re y m removed, lie cann -t remove -y m at. pie isure, n>r even f>r iniscon • bi :*t, rxri'pfby i+»u of y.iHh l peers and lhe laws of the I tnd. We ■ are clear, therefore, that your accop'ing . a seat in Congress, while < oloiicl (rs the ! 7 h R 'gimont. would not be a violation of thespiritof the Constitution. These are our views; but suppose we are wrong -the d Hi iilty presented :is very s:n ill. The language is prohib j tory of “holding any office under the • Confederate States” while a member of s either House. If the I lotise itsel f shod Id | (L'tormim* (and it is the sole ju Ige) tin? i you eorld n >t h 'I 1 the two offi -es, you could on the 22 I FeLrn uy, resign y-mr c-mimissi n as Colonel, and then the ol - joctioti would certainly disappear. The j Constitution d ies not prohibit a person from beingto 'Mu gross, even if • In* ho].l a c.iiii riiss'on in the regular armv, and lie could take his s >at if he I ‘ . i*'vs gned. We see hi'ref.ire, n > illegality in your name being run and vo’ed f>r as a member of Congress of the Bth District of Georgia, nor d-> we see any impro priety whatever If the free .on of the Bth District, see proper to confer upon v-m this trust, we hiak y m ought to accept it. Yoiir ir.iliiary experience ■er'aia'v does add t > y mr qu difications t-> represent th-' people in the N itional C> : •il-’.

Very respectfully y mrs &c., T. W. THOMAS. R TOOMBS. Having shown the utter fallacy of Mr. Fielder’s objection to my eligibility I shall not stop to discuss with him ’ho* ‘ enormities of Phillip 11, and Charles v,” nor what circumstances “give to Europe the Dutch Republic.” I have neither the time nor the inclination to consider those past events. My busi ness now is to help whip the Yankees and maintain against our infamous foes the rights, honor, and liberties of the people of the Conf'derate States and I call upon Mr. Fielder toconicand assist me. He would then be proving 1 his f.ith by bis works.” My competitor seems to have a great horror for “men 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 thier live on the tented field in defense of that i sa r.e Constitution, while he is enjoying i ease and pleasure at home? Surely ho eminent be so ungenerous. But, my Fellow-Citizens, I deem it unnecessary to say more. My name is before you. ly p-si ion heretofore and now, as i my < ft’ >rts to defend your liberties upon lhe battle-field, are known to the coun try, I claim only to have done my duty I shall not neglect the duty I owe the brave and gallant men under my e nrnaiid to ( go borne and canvass for ffiee, but am content to trust my com* m Hid i<) 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, I shsll ever be grateful and shall strife to you faith fully and efficiently. For your past uniform kindness, confidence and stip oort, please accept iny heart-felt t.tanks Hoping and believing that, under tho guidance of a kind and protect Provi dence, mir efforts for Independence will soon be crowned with a glorious success. 1 ain your friend and ob’t serv’t.
