Ito proposes that nil the «f«./ini, States
should oo-opomte nml go out togother
on the tame, prcconscrtcd day. This 1* on-
tlroly right nnd wo aro glnd that Mr.
Oddi recommend* this courso, for it will
l»o likoly to infltiPt^co the tnoii whom
ho has led up to Uioir present position.
But why hot go n little further on the
sniflo trail and oomo to 1 positions of cen
sor traction still more advantageous?
If it is right nprl proper fop those States
that nro do'orminod to secedo, to co-
opornto, then why should not atl thoso,
that out]hi lo secede and that mutt do so or
.he inevitably ruined, counsel together,
and *oo If they cannot each consent to
act in rcforenco to tho common good of
all ? The immedlato secessionists tell
us that If .South Carolina seccdcw the
other cotton Stalet will bo compiled to go
iwith or follow her; and, wo lx;liovo
that everybody, with a thimble full of
souse, doubt* not that if the cotton .States
go ouU then the only hojie or salvation
to tho hnlaiico of tho slave States, lies In
their joining tlio Southern confederacy.
If wo arc (ill thus inseparably connect*

common one, docs it not hccorno us as
sonsihlo men and Southern patriots to
secure, *o fur ns is practicable, luimioni-
oil* action on tho part of, at least, a
majority ut the .States vitally interested?
But the trouble i* not in this direction,
Co-op* ration is not opposed because it i*

Tho above is dipt from tho Truo Flay

thing, in puhlio controversies, is greatly
doletorcous to tlio puhlio good. .So far
tho price of cottou Is concerned we
have no idea that tlio in*mediate hoccz
shin of Georgia would have the effect of
increasing it, at least for tho next six
months. Tho groat bulk of tho crop
goes to Etiropo where it isjunnufaetur-
ed and a large portion of it is sold hack
to tho States. Now inportatlons to this
country have almost stopped ; nnd ov
en should it cease immediately the
stagnation already occasioned to c
mcrce cannot l>o overcome in the next
six months. Planters run a groat risk
in holding their cotton oven nt presont
prices. It may bo n long time before
they can do hotter.

all this ean he connmmated before the hated

In another oolunrn of this paper may
bo found an article with tho above head
ing. We publish this, not boequso we
agree with tho viows there presented,
far from it, but to lot the pooplo know
what strange positions somo people
tako—and there are many in favor of
stronger Government, in the
present excited state of public fooling.
Two of Georgia's most oloquont and
gifted sons havo recently said tho Amer
ican Republican Government it a failure, ono
has said, let ut wijtc out State lines atul make
a strong government, and put the sovereignty
in the Federal head. Somo of theso, por-
haps all of them, have, sinco tho utter
ance of thoso sentiments, published
cards in which tiiey deny thnt they con
tain their settled convictions. Rut nil this
proves that excited, men are very likely
to go astray, nnd that flip people, if
thoy follow tlioir ndvico at all, should
do so with great precaution. In such
times we want men for lenders whose
heads aro always cool, and whose nerves

rriday’n Meeting n Failure. .
There was a large meeting at tho City
Hall on the 14th inst.,^ called for the
purposo of attempting to harmonizo the
people of Floyd county and run but
ono ticket for dclogatos to tho Conven
tion. Soveral proposition* were mader
dismissed, nntonded and voted down. Tho
mooting finally adjourned without doing
anything at all. We presume that now
thoro is no chance but to run tho two
tickets already nominated. Lot all
parties kcop'eool and be as willing to be
just and charitable as they aro to oxaot
thoso qualities from Othops.
CoMOXi.u, Fi.au.—We saw on yester
day a Banner on Eve’s Carriage Factory,
representing tho Coat of Arms of. (la,.
Wo could not see thereon tho pass
words to our present slate of prosper
ous greatness, Prudence, Moderation and
Justice, but hope thoy were not forgotten.
On ono end is a cotton bale; on thootli-
er a man with a ropo around his nock,
supposed to bo about to kidnap a littlo
negro standing near by, and a rattle
snake ready to strike. Wo saw it only
from a distance, and this description
may not bo acourato. Our pooplo do
not seem to take to flag* as much as
thoy do in somo places.

Staiii.b.—Wo will venture tho assertion
that there is not in tho State a Stable
better Uttod up with convonioucos for
tho businoss they havo to do, than that
of Morrison & Logan. In tlioir new
building, in front of tho stable, thoro is
a BnrborShop so vory convenient for
a gentlemen just coming in from thn
country : a Splendid Billiard Room up
stairs 73 IA 40 foot, instead of smaller
dimensions as wo stated last week, and
a No.)I Seating Saloon at thouoxt door.

Arrest of John Day, or Tiiskcgcc.
Mr. llotts, tl*p Marshal of Tuskdgoo,
Ain., in company with a Mr. Sanford,
were in search of John Day, who had
broke jail somo days since, and wore
in our place on Thursday evening last.
Thoy got track of Day, and in company
with ono or two of our citizens, followed
him to tho rcslddnco of John Skinner,
whero they arrested him, in bed at
about ten o’clock. Day hod ' been
incarcerated on tho charge of murder;
ho and live dtliors having gone to the
houso of n man hy tlio name of Brooks,
near Tuskegeo, and shot three children
—two mortally it is thtught—and an
old man living with Mr. B. The assas-
ins were in search of Mr. Brooks,' hut
falling to flud*him, assaulted tlm mem
bers of his household. The Marshal
left with his prisonorfor Tuskegoe on
the train Friday mornings
Why Oppose n United South.
Many of the ''precipitators” tell
thoy do not think it dcsirablo to unite
all the Southern States in. favor of se
cession. Why? Tho reason they as-
sign is, that tlioy want to keep the bor
der State* between us and tho non-
slnveholding States, a* a shield to pro
tect us from Abolition incursions and
from Governmental coercion—i
border sStates would neither suffer Gov
ernment troops nor Addition emissa
ries to pass through their territories to
molest us. Now, tuking it for granted
that those men nro sincere in what they
*ay, was there ever before displayed
siieli cool, calculating solfishness by
men whoso patriotism could look be
yond tho borders of their own State ?
Must glorious old Virginia, patriotic
Maryland, chivnlric Kentucky, nnd the
other border States bear tlio brunt of
tho Free-soll storm nnd hold the Gov
ernment troops at bay for our protec
tion, when wo have not tlio courage to
make common causo with thorn in de
fence of our common institutions!—
Away with such cowardly and despicable
counsels'! Such conduct would dis
grace us forever before tho nations of
the earth!
But this is not the real causo of oppo
sition to .Southern Union, ns wo believe.’
It lies dooper than this. A largo party
in tlio cotton States desire to re-open the
African slave trade! To this end, they
wish tlio cotton States to form a Confed
eracy without the aid of tho liorder
States, making constitutional provision
for tho recognition ot that traffic. They
expect the border States to be por*eeii
ted by the froo-soilers until tlioy will be
ready to take refuge anywhere—nnd
lienee, they calculntn thoy will in u few
years join the Southern Confederacy,
at a time, without being permitted any
voico in the formation of tho Constifu-
tion.
Now that is tho plot of theso men, in
all its naked deformity. Let tliosc who
are afraid to trust tho border States on
tiiis question oppose co-operation. Lot
those who wish the wild savngos of Afri
ca introduced among our negroes, there
by depreciating their vnluo at least
tlirco-tourtlis, oppose corporation; but,
in Heaven’s name, lot those who view
tlio matter in a different light,lorid their
aid in favor of oo-operation.—Athens

erful ever seen,
war, but if the North attempt*to coerce
it will come !
If tlio Senator from Now Hampshire
wants it, wo will give it to him. We
ft»e prepared to fight for our liberties,
and honors. We aro not a feeble raca
of Mexicans, that can bo easily ovor-
oome. I believe we will havo a unit
ed people, and agree harmoniously.—
1 hope the North will see that it is tho
best policy to lot us go and make treat-
i commerce with us rather than
attempt to coerce us. We will givo
them all |>ossiblo advantages, aud both
of us will Ite able to livo in tho exorcise
of greater friendship. There is now an
enmity botween the Northern and
.Southern people do«q>er thuu boll! No
one on the other side comes here to ex*-
chnngo courtesies, neither do wo go
there. We arc euemics. Northern
men hate the South greater than any
other couutry does. We don't feel the
loss of their lovo, nnd the sooner we
separate tho l>e.t(er. Tho Senator from
New Hampshire had liotter take care;
if war comes we will meet the myrmid
ons of the abolitionist*. /
Mr. Davis hoped thoy would print
the message, whether good, bad, or in-
different. As long us wo are in alliance,
throats are of no avail.
Mr. Wigfull said no man can deny
that tlio constitutional compnol be
tween the Stutes is that each State shall
act for itself and or. its own ro*]>oiisi!)i
ty. He compared the ’
laws by tho States to a
breaking its treaties with us.
A message from tho Houso was receiv
ed, informing the Sonnte that it had
passed the bill to secure homesteads to
actual settlers on the public domaiu.
Mr. Wigfull continued: If violoucois
offered to the States of the South, the
pooplo will bo called together to declare
whether they desire to rcmniu in tlio
Union. If (hey beliovo that they will
live moro happy und prosperous under
another government, they will assort
Unit by forming a Constitution. The
u\oro I read the President’s message,the
less I comprehend it.
I consider that the President believes
that it is impossible to muintniti tlio or
ganization of thofodorul courts in South
Carolina or enforce the decisions of the
judicial tribunals; but, whether the
State secede or pot, ho lias power to
collect customs there, and lias power
for holding possession qF tho forts. 1
intend introducing, ut an early day, a
resolution to ascertain whether an order
bus gone from tho War Department in
rofcreuco to the matter. 1 beliovo tho
President .will precipitate tho very meas
ure ho sc.ems intending to avoid. It
will bo necessary to put a construction
on tho Message to know what the Pres
ident intends doing. After then we
will urge forbeuranco no longer. Then
we will trust in tho God of Battles.
Mr. Saulsbcry said : It is not my in

Proposition for n Monarchy.
Let us Reason Together.—Permit
nn huinblo individual to lay boforo
you a few thoughts that aro burned
into Ids 4iea:t of hearts by their lory
truth.
Tho first groat thought U this; tho
institution known as tho “Federal Gov*
eminent,” established by the pooplo of
the United States of Amorioo, Is a fall-
fire. This is a fact which oauuot ho-
gainsaid. It linsmvr boon in the pow
er of tho "Federal Government” to on-
force all its own laws in Us own Territo
ry; It hits, therefore been measurably a
failure from tho beginning; but ita
first convincing evidence of weakness
was In allowing ono brunch ofits organ
ization to jmish an unconstitutional law
(tho Missouri Compromise.) Its next
ovidonco of decrepitude was its inability
to enforce a Constitutional law* (tho fu-
a itlvo slavo law,) tlio whole fabric being
liakop to its foundation, by tho only
attempt of enforcement mode by its
chioi officer, (Frcsidont Pierce.)
I nood not onlargo In this direc
tion. The “Foderal Government" is a
failure.
Wlint then ? Tlm States, of oourso
revert to tlioir original position, eauli
one a sovereign within itself. Thoro
can bo no oUier just conclusion.—
This, then, boing our position, th©
question for sober, thinking ournest
men i*, what shall.wo do for tho fu*
litre?
1 take It for grantod that no man in
his senses would advocate the remain
ing in so many petty sovereignties.
We should bo worse than Muxicunized
by that process.
Wlrnt then shall wo do?
In the first place, I would say, lot us
look around and seo if there is a gov
ernment of an enlightened nation that
has not yet proven a failure, hut which
is nqW, and lias over !>con productive of
happiness to all its lav; abiding people.
If Much a government can be fount!.. a
government whose first and ouly object
is tho tho real good, (not fancied
good, an ignis fat ns which 1 fear both our
fathers nnd ourselves havo too much
ran after in this country) of all its peo|
pie, it such n government exists, let.us
examine it curcfully; if it has upparout
eirors, (iis what human institution has
not) let us avoid them. Its beneficial
arrangements let us adojit. Let us not
