Discussion at Ibe Town UalL
On last Saturday Messrs. Dilom and-
tri rs m et in a public discussion of the
he political questions of the day ; and we
' ,k the result was a noble vindication on
^ part of Mr. Delony, of the great princi-
les of our government, of civil and religious
liberty, to tl' e uttcr discomfiture of the sworn
Order of Sam, with its intolerance and pro-
fcrip'.ion. The positions of Delony were
ln,U and manly. He took it? the questions
•,f Kansas, the Naturalization Laws, and
the Religious Test as become a statesman.
Mr. Peeples wanted to know “what
thought our early fathers about the foreign-
f , s v* He referred to tho Debates on the
adoption of the Federal Constitution, and
that there were many who were opposed to
the emigrant then. As these things are inat-
1P rs of history, the reference will, we think,
jn the opinion of Georgians, prove rather
unfortunate to Sam. Let us see who were
rhose who thought as the Know Nothings
now do, and who were those who thought
with the present National Democracy
ilbctrines have been exposed, have.crashed it
in their indignation. Truth lives, but error
dies in a free educated Republic. -V
Mr. P. also declared “Our Constitution
was the offspring of Protestantism, and ours
is a Protestant county.” The Fathers of
our Republic, and the American people, we
think, believe that it was founded by Protes
tants and Cotholics, and the great idea em
bodied is civil and religious liberty to all,
And now, upon the Prohibition question,
where do the candidates standi Thus, De-
lony declared he wished to be elected or de
feated by his principles. These are not doubt
ful, and are the same to-day as they were
yesterday. The position of the Anti-Know
Nothing ticket, is set forth in an extract from
a great letter, written by Henrv A. Wise, of
Va., to the Cartorsville Mass Meeting :
“Not only are the rights of the States and
the union of the Stales invaded, but the indi
vidual inalienable rights are openly assailed.
We have a secret party crying out also,
“ down with the Pope !” and at this very
moment they are aiJiug to build up a priest

crnlist. Mr. Madison moved a substitute of
four years, but seven years was accepted as
a compromise. We all know that Madison
was a vRepublican,” and those of this school
of polities went with hint. Dr. Franklin
went with Mr. Madison.
After the Federal Constitution was adopt-
r ,|, it was moved in Congress, about 1798,
that r.o foreign born should ever be entitled
i, hold any office. Who do you suppose pro.
posed sueh an act, in the very spirit of present
Know Nothingiam ? It was Harrison Gray
Otis, ol'QoSton, a lenth'ng Federalist afterwards
in the Hartford Contention of infamous noto
riety. t he Federalists, voted with Otis, as
I key did for the Alien and Sedition Laws of
John Adams. This motion of Otis’ was op
posed and successfully by the Republican
party, led on by snch noble men as Tazewell,
of Va., Macon, of N. C. f and Jlandolph, of
Virginia. These are the Fathers we now-
staml by. The people of Georgia will not
hesitate to choose between them, and the
Federalist* of Boston, Hanford Conven-
tionists, and Alien and Sedition Law men.
The reply of Delony on this point was
worthy of him. lie pointed to the Declara
tion of Independence to show what its fram
ers thought when they fought King George,
because, as they stated, he “prevented the pop
ulation of these Slates by obstructing the
naturalization laws.” He also referred to the
Constitution, which contemplated immigra
tion, in vestingin Congress the right of fix
ing the naturalization laws; aud to the opin
ions of Washington and our wise men, who
had Christian hearts not bounded by State
lines, hut wanted America to continue a
home for the liberty-loving spirit, and the
•-asylum of the exile.”
Mr. Peeples was afraid the foreigners
wouid come and eat up the fatness ot our
lands. Mr.Delony showed that we had four
teen hundred millions of acres of public land
now. It is being taken up at the rate of one
and a half miljions a year. This will require
about 1,000 years with our present territory

The N. Y. Times, of the 5th inst., pub
lishes a “full and authentic exposition” of
another Know Nothing movement which has
been sorted in that city, and which has
probably extended itself io other portions of
the U niqn. W e have only room for a few
choice extracts frum the ritual to-day; but
will give it in full in our next. We oall the
attention of our readers to the following
questions and oaths, and ask if such an infa
mous conspiracy would not pat to the blush

order, swearing a man to strike down even

taken is exacted under a penally of no less
than that of death, and he who breaks his
oath with us, or divulges our secrets, must
be assured that he but signs his own death-war
rant ? Ji;—i will.
I, A— B—, do solemnly and sincerely
swear by the ashes of my martyred sires, by
every blood-stained link of that chain of
tyranny which the men of ’76 burst asunder,
that I will never permit the holy heritage of
liberty to be torn from me or tnv children.—

me by my fathers, which means the priceless
Tewel of freedom, if necessary, with my life,
against the aims of a Pope, and of his hire
lings, now hovering around u» in this ray
native country.
And furthermore, I swear to stand by, pro
tect and further in every respect my coun
try’s interests, cither for her institutions or
at the ballot box, allowing note but Ameri
cans to rule and govern these United States,
if in my power to prevent it, considering for

try.
And furthermore, upon all calls of assist
ance, all notices of attendance, or signs of
meeting or other calls from this Order, or its
officers, or its Congiess. I solemnly swear
to obey its dictation, although it may lead to
my death, and upon all signs of alarm from
a brother of this fraternity, I solemnly swear
to render him all the assistance in my power,
and, if necessary, to use violent means for his
protection. Ido solemnlyswcar not to shrink
when called ; and although his foe should be
my dearest friend, I will give him my aid in
that brother’s protection, and next after a

men to morality, but by Maine liquor laws
they would legislate inen to sobriety, until
by-and-by every voter would have on every
subject to go to the parish parson or preacher

Of the Know Nothing ticket, Dr. Joseph
B. i;arlton stands upon the same just plat
form, on this Prohibition question. As to’
Mr. Peeples, what is the present state of
things? Wethinkheendeavored toevade the
point, until made on him a second lime. He
declared, (so understood,) that he was anti-
prohibition and anti-legislation, in Kgard to
people's drinking. “Alas! poor Yoriek!”
There was no retraction of his speech at Wat-
kinsville in Angust two years ago, in favor
of tho “ Atlanta Resolutions.” A respecta
ble farmer of this county slated that Mr. P.,
a few days before,that he (P.) would
advocate a rcpeal'of^ie^coMe lawsj hut now
behold this sudden cotwersion to anti-prohi

He who once heard the wail of the widow and

drinks, now closes his ears. There is a loud
voice, which, like a Cherubim, “continually

overXhe old Whig Readers, with a seat in
Milledgeville! His heart yearned for the
temperance vote, but as this and anti-prohi
bition went different ways, he had to leave
one. He stood where two paths diverged—
bidding farewell to temperance, now in its
youth, he, in desperation, in the lmnt

That Letter of Acceptance.
We clip the following from the Savannah
Republican .-
“The Athens -Banner states (we hope not
on its own authority) that upon the reception
of Judge Andrews’ Letter of Acceptance at
Milledgeville, in manuscript, ‘an Editor was
compelled to write to the Judge that really it
was not in a condition to go before the peo
ple;’ that in reply. Judge A v directed mm
‘to fix it up the best he can.’ This story
we find re-produced in the Georgian of yes
terday.
“ It is hardly necessary to say there is not
one word of truth in the statement, or in any
part of it, Judge Andrews prepared two
manuscript copies of his letter, one of which
was sent to the Committee at Macon, and
the other to this office tube published as soon
as notified by telegraph of its receipt by the
Committee, as there was no daily paper at
Macon and the appearance of the letter had
already been delayed by his absence from
home. Both these copies were published as
they earn# from the hands ofthe author K p-ith-
out ‘dotting an for crossing a f.’ The manu
script was never seen in Milledgeville, nor
was there any correspondence about it be
tween Jndge Andrews and any one, from the
day of its receipt by the Committee up to
the day of its publication. **'
“ We know what we state to be true.-
To fill up the population to the square inlle thcy uaoc trusted and had faith, and then i
equal to Great Britain will require some
6,000 years. So Sam Taiher anticipates.
Upon the Religious or Catholic feature, De
lony was clear, and unanswerable.
Peeples did not all meet the argument, but
only indulged in the general denunciation
of a particular Church. He said there was
no “ no qualification" on this subject neces
sary to join thc.r party. Then why is it by
“our Ritual," (as he expressed it) that the
candidate is asked are you a Protestant?—
Why, if “no quulication,” is it necessary to
swear acretly, as Mr. Peeples has done,
*• never to vote for a a Roman Catholic ?”
and why is it that a gentleman, whose wife is
a Roman Catholic, can hold no office among
them I
Mr. Delony gave documents of the highest
authority to show that -Catholics in this
country hold not civil allegiance to tho Pope.
The Bishops and Archbishops in assembly
have so declared.
Mr. Delony was really eloquent when he
spoke about the absurd idea of Georgians
being afraid of the the Pope of Rome, a
petty Italian Prince, who bolds his throne by
French bayonets. What a notion a speaker
must have of the courage, the chivalry of
the Empire State of the South to get them
into the secret sworn councils for the fear of
the civil power of this old man. Have a
people who dread not England, France or
Russia, fallen so low, that Know Nothingiam
shonld make an appeal to her fear?
But the Knowledge of figures, and census
returns, as displayed by Mr. Peeples, is cer
tainly worthy of Zollicoffer, and a know
nothing. He repeatedly spoke of tk6
“5,000,000 of foreign men,” and the
“5,000,000 of foreign voters,” most of
whom are in the North. What say* thelast
Census, of 1850 ? That in the United States
there arc 2,210,828 foreign born—men, wo
men, and children. Is any comment neces
sary upon the above ? Only compare the
statements for yourself.
Mr. Peeples snye there 3,300,000 to
to -1,000,000 of Catholics. The Statistics
of 1850 show that there are less than
1,200,000.
The Kansas Bill, upon which the South
should be United, he*dcclaied “ ar»se,a politi
cal clap-trap.” He may say he will support
it, hut let us not yet, if such sentiments as
bis prevail, talk about the North not granting
us our rights, when our danger, our weak
ness, lies at our own door.
Delony spoke of the New York Conven
tion of Know Nothings having thrown over-
hoard the Philadelphia Platform, and gone
--gainst the South; thus this last northern
hope of a National Know Nothing parlor is
Forthe Southern Banner.
To the Voters of Franklin County.
The author of this communication
having frequently stated that Maj. Jas.
W. Payne had been connected with the
order known to the country as thtf Amer
ican or Know Nothing party, and Major of
Payne, as I am informed, having flatly
denied it, an issue of truth is made be
tween ps, and it becomes necessary that
the proof of the correctness of my as
sertion he submitted to you.
In vindicating myself from the asper
sion pf misrepresenting Maj. Payne, (for
whom, aside from this personal issue, I
have no unkind feeling,) I reluctantly
submit the following certificates:
GEORGIA, Franklin County :
We, the undersigned, do hereby cer
tify that we have been initiated into the
order known to tho country as the Know
Nothing or American party ; that we
have, since our initiation into said order,
looked upon and considered Maj. James
W. Payne a member of said order, and
are convinced of it from tho fact of hav
ing been in a Council of the order with
him. Given under our hands this 29th

commonly known as the Know Nothing
order, in the town of Carnesville, at the
April Term of the Superior Court of
Franklin county, in the year 1855.
Given under my hand this 30th day of
Aug. 1855. JOSIAH R. PAYNE.
Regretting the necessity of appearing
before you in this connection, I shall
nly add that a frank and manly course
on the part of Maj. Payne would have
saved him the mortification, and myself
the unsought notoriety, tof thus appear

What next? ”
We made the statement upon the authority
of a gentleman whose veracity is unim
peachable, and who received his information
from the editor who corrected Judge Andrew's's
letter. The statement of the Republican that
the manuscript “waa not seen in Milledge-
ville from the day of its receipt by the Com
mittee up to the day of its publication,”tnay
he true; but will the editors of the Republi
can say, “upon their own authority,” that it
was not seen in Milledgeville before its re
caption by the Committee ? Why was it
left to the Republican to deny this charge ?
We mad^ the charge in our issue of the 9th
of Aug -st, five weeks ago, and the editor in
question has never denied it; and what is
more, we do not l^plieve_ho will deny it.-p-
When he does so, it will then be time for ns
to produce our authority.
We repeat it—that a Know Nothing Editor
stated in Athens, Commencemapt week, that
Judge Andrews’ Letter ot Acceptance was
sent to him—that after reading it, he wrote
to the Judge that it would not do—that the
Judge in reply, directed Mm to arrange it,
and that he did oo arrange Tt.
The Rcpublica+A*Vs wha?, next? We
would like to inquire, in the next place, if
“that letter” contained the real sentiments
of Judge Andrews in Tegard to the National
Democracy ? Did he not? only a-week be
fore his nomination by tho Macon Conven
tion, express sentiments directly tho reverse
of those his letter contained f^Xnd was he
not overruled and brought into antagonism
with the Democracy by some of the Know
Nothing editors of Georgia?
*- The Double Barreled Cun.”
Mr. Peoples thinks ii impossible to escape
the attacks of the Southern Banner,for he says
its editors are like a double-barreled gun, one
shoots spirits and the other water.
Now we wUllnform him, that we have toadapt
our ammunition to the game; and his lartu
ous course upon the Temperance question,
could only be reached by firing, water or Spir
its, according to the tack he was then on
whether firing from the Seme barrel whiskey
inthc Dark Corner, orTemperance in Athens;
and to bring him down, therefore requires one
to shoot like Longstreet’s man, with “ a dou
ble warble.” When Mr. Peeples reads the
election returns in October, he will think it
is a * Paixhan 64 pounder that has struck
him.
The case of Mr. Peeples is similar to
man, whom we will call Dodge, who went
to Augusta some years since, and getting in
to difficulty, a gentleman took up a double
barreled gun to shoot him. Dodge started at
Jill! run, andThe first barrel grazed him, but
on he kept, in the “ wild hunt” f<5r life.
The second barrel peppered him, but not
mortally, and Dodge Was soon out of dan
ger. His friends were all enquiring how in
the world he escaped with his life—said he
“gentlemen, 1 will tell you, it was because
didn't rim straight; I weal it strong on the
zio-kag : and thus 1 was’nt^m the samodine
any two consecutive seconds.” Those who
know the Virginin-rail-fencc course of Mr.
Peeples upon the Temperance question, can
see the striking force of this illustration.

circle; aud that when properly managed, it will be
universally popular. Complaints, however, have
been made of irregularity, in sending numbers to

adopted the CASH SYSTEM, and henceforward,
will send the Magasineonly to those who pay in

to give their old subscribers due notice, so that their
siiliscriptioiis might l>e renewed in time. Those in
immediate connection with tho Magazine, will do
all theycati to make it worthy of the University and
the State; and appealccoufieently to the AJumiu,

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JU
RY OF MADISON COUNTY.
W E. the Grand Jury, sworn, chosen and se
lected tor the September Term, 1855, of the
Superior Court of the county „of Madison, after
having discharged our various duties, respectfully
submit the following genera! presentments:
Wo have examined, through an efficient com-
mith-c of our hotly, the Records of the Superior
and Inferior Courts, and are pleased to report them
correctly mid regularly brought up, and kept in n
munncr’higlily creditable to the respective Clerks.
We regret the necessity of reporting the follow
ing roads in had condition, and would respectfully
call the ntteutiou of the proper authorities to them,.
wit: The Road from Stephen Wuitu's to
Night's old store, at County line; the Road from
New Hope to Nash's Ferry ;' the Road from Brushy
Creek towards Athens; and the Road from the
Widow Scarborough's, by the Low Ground, to the
County line.
Upon examination of the Jail, we find it in a safe
condition, but would recommend Lint, for the fu
ture, more attention bo paid to its cleanliness.
We recommend the Inlerior Court to have iilocetl
iu the Court room comfortable Benches, tor the
convenience and accommodation of the citizens
and spectators.
Upon examination of the list of Poor Children,
ns returned by the Receiver of Tax Returns, we
find that there ure 317 iu the entity, who are enti
tled to the benefits of the educational fnnd.
We recommend to our Representatives in the en-
aueing General Assembly, to use their exertions to
have passed an Aet, providing for a sale of one-
half or two-thirds of the Western 4 Atlantic Rail
Road—believing, from the history of its manage
ment, up to the present time, that the State has not
only failed to reccivo any profits, but has been com
pelled to pay out of tile Treasury large appropria
tions, to kcjuj it in proper condition, and to dis
charge its lSbilities. *
We tender to his Honor. Judge Thomas, our
thanks, for his kindness ana courtesy to our body,
and also to the Solicitor General, for his attention
to us. » , .
