Fellow 'Citizens Notice in the.
Constitutionalist, of the 25th irist., over
the signature of F. W.-Morris an ffj-
drass to the People of Fraokliir County,
in vvluch he attempt to convince you
that ii^tWjtliRtaLidi^The large and in*
convcnienfesizc ofyour county, it can
not bo sit ffivLTed as iwl to discommode
Wore of the citizens than it will benefit.
Now, We, the movers of the new county
measure, had fondly hoped that the agi
tation of this question would hare been
Confined to this county alonef to havo
iri the vicinity of Carnesville; while
the bridges in the extreme, portions of
the SfiSRtry^are left to be kept up by
the individual exertion of the citizens.
Then, fe'low-citizens, if we are to be
taxed, let us put ourselves in a position-
to rqap thp benefits of taxation.
I now come to notice tholfest point
of his', argument, which we believe con
tains the moving cause of his opposition
to a division of the county. He tells
you that it will be doing great injustice
to the citizens of Carnesville ; they have
purchased property and impioved. it.
&c. Admit the fact that real estate will
fi
beeh|fuiriv decided r.ttlie ballot box by the depreciate in value in Carnesville, no
voters of Franklin county, on the 1st injustice will lie done .to any one. Is it
Monday in Ofctober nexr. and that the j not a law of commerce, that those who
next legislature would have been per-1 purchase property,, take it subject to all
mined to stand unbiased on the subject,
ready to carry out the will of a majori
ty of the voters of the county. JSnt it
appears that Gen. Morris is not content
Co confine bis operations to the county,
and patiently submit to the will of a
patiently
majority of the voters thereof, but pre
fers Hr write out his aucument and have
it publicised in a paper having the largest
circulation of any political journal in
rlie Slate ; thereby endeavoring to fore
stall the action of the next Legislature hi
the premises. This course leaves to the
advocates of the measure but owe alter
native. That is to meet Gen. Morris in
casualties? If the real estate of Carnes-
ville should increase tenfold in value, by
tlie constructing of a Railroad to that
place, or from any other cause, would
not the good fortune l>e theirs, and would
any other citizens of the county reap
any portion of the benefit l By the
same rule, if it should depreciate in val
ue, am! if ia purchasing their town lots,
they have been deceived in the perma
nence of rhe location, they must snstain
(he loss. But ive confidently believe
that the value of Carnesville pioperty
will not be diminished,for the following
good reasons: That after the fothiatiou
bis own wav and advocate our rights I of'new conn lieu. Carnesville will stand

sponse to such-a spirit, the Mexican au-
rtuVritres will, upon"due reflection, aban

valley by arms. The question at issue
.is a question of boundary underan exist

The condition of affairs in reference thorise, .ah wo believo. the conclusion
to ibe disputed boundary between Mexi
co and the United States is tmeh as fd
justify uneasiness iti the mind of every
good citizen. No one should view with
any other feeling than that of deep re

all circumstances, a sore calamity, and
uo prospective advantages should be
considered great enough to render an
intelligent and humane people indiffer
ent to its evils.
The following brief outline of Gov.
Lane's manifesto will give some idea
of the ground on which Mr Bartlett's
line is disputed :
Tiif. Territorial Dispute Between

not only criminal—it is absurd in the
fiigljelit degree—for Trias or for Santa
Anna to insist upon settling the question
by force.
While, therefore, we do not look for
a war with Mexico, it is yet proper to
say that we by no means regar<f the
seizu-e of the Mestlla valley by Trias as
an admissible proceeding. We.do not
perceive how either the people or the
government of the United States can
submit to it as a permanent deposition
of that territory. It is true tiie question
lias been complicated by the errors of the
lute administration. But. he this as it
may, we entertain no doulri, from all
that, has been announced of the foreign
policy nf this administration, that all suit

in its application, and a stumbling-block

As an iudicntiuK of the direction in wbiebthe
^jud blows, we refer the reader to the proceed
ings of the meeting- of the “ Conservative
Uuiun,” alias Whig-party at Wutkinsville, last
week. It will be seen that of the delegates up*
p noted lo the Gubernntn-ial Convention, there
are THREE Whigs aud ONE Democrat^'
We presume this wilt generally ho the case
throughout the State. The Whigs,', giving them

A strauge dilemma forthe once proud and formi
dable Whig parly of Georgia. That name un
der which they have so often marshalled their
forces, aud gnno forth to do bailie in defence of
their principles, has of late grown offensive in
the sight of the masses, and hence the desire to
throw it aside, to make " place for some more fa
vored title. Our friends of the Federal Union,
seeing their destitute condition, kindly came to
thei* relief, and suggested the novel'name of the
“ Gubernatorial POrly.” Tt struck u* at the
time as peculiarly appropriate, as the object
was to elect a Governor without any avowal of
principles, upon which to rally the parly. The
suggestion, however, has not been well received,
aud tiie Convention wilt meet without a name,
and probably adjourn without principle*.
Why should this he ‘.he condition of enr oppo
nents f- * Are they prepared to admit that so ma>
ny wrongs have been, doue iu the name of the
Whig party, that it would be unwise aud impol
itic to trust their fortunes uuder iu dishonored
colors? Such may lie the case with some of the
timid aud time-serving politicians of the coun
try, who have never f* It in their heart that the
principles of Whiggevy had! any chime upon
their allegiance beyond the simple desire to de
feat and destroy Democracy ; but it will be d:f-
f*-r-*ul with those veteran soldiers who have
fought in good-faith to maintain the nseeudaucy
•if the Whig party,under the firm conviction of
the truth a,.d soundness of its political tracbiug*.
The Southern Ilecc-rder lias been the most
active aud prominent press, in seeking to discard
the uatue of Whig, aud xve have studied its
course with some attention, for the purpose of
ascertaining the true secret which influences its
action. The object of the Recorder is pretty
plainly admitted in its editorial columns. It is
based upon no repudiation of ils Whig princi
ples—so far from it, tiie Recorder is as thorough
ly Whig now as it has ever b-en, but it seeks to
entrap Union Democrats into the support ol
a Whig candidate mid of Whig principle*, hy
hois.iug the colors of the Union parly. This is
its open uud avowed policy—and so little re-
spec l does our coniemimrary mauil'est for the
intelligence of the Union Democracy, that l.e
tells them iu plain English, that they are ex
pected to identify themselves with tlio Whig
party, with no oilier change in the programme
except in the name. We say To our Milledge
vHle contemporary that be is at-fault in the t-sli
male wbicli be has placed upon the good sense
and devotion to Democratic principles, 6\ the
Union Democracy. We uuiled cordially, and
withuil of our heart, in the late Union move
ment Then there was au issue before the coun
try, upon which Union Whigs mid Democrats
stood together: but non, wbeu thst issue bus
heeu settled and'disposed of, ’and there is uo
conflict of opinion oil thut. subject, we have uo
idea uf co-operating with any party organization,
on account of the name it may put forth, ul the
sacrifice of our .principles. The Recorder
knows that there isuo sincerity in its pretended
advocacy of a Uuiou party—and that is clearly
exhibited iu this remarkable fact, that he uud
all bis associates, in speaking of ucaudidu.e for
Goveuor, always talk about a Wltig candidate, or
a Union Whig candidal), ora sound conservative
HTtigcandidate. Itmnt crs not in bow many dif
ferent formsund shapes they present the question
of a candidate, it busalways the prefix of IVhig.

You may call it Union or Conservative or Re
publican or what not,bet at last, it is and most
he, from the very nature of the cose, uoth-
ing more or less than the IVhig parly.—
Uuder these circumstances, we leave to our op
ponents to decide ihisquesliun of taste, as they
may tbiuk proper, but let them uot he deluded
with the false hope that the Uuiou. Democracy
will be gulled and deceived with so shallow a
pretence, as the name of Union party, put forth
to elect Whig caudifates aud uiaintbiu Whig
principles.
If the Recorder intends in good faith a Union
organization, why does he not say. “ we ure no
louger Wliigs—we repudiate all association with
the Whig party ot Tennessee aud Kentncky,-
wiin stood hy Gou. Scott iu the late Presidential
election.” Let our con temporary disavow: die
doctrines of the Whig platform, as luid down-at
Baltimore, iu which the dociriues of protection,
internal improvements, &c., &c , are avowed.

with inure charity upon the ettorls now being
