constituents, and acting with them, though they
openly professed and acted upon the same anti-
alavery and Frecsoil principles, that he now
condemns; and he has perhaps done as much
as any other Southern man, to “prostrate” “the
Democratic party at the North,” a majority of
whom, in some of those States, he says, “are
as yet, unsubdued, and are still capable of a
mighty effort in favor of the constitution and
the Union.”
But his self-condemnation y of Ins present
course is as palpable as that of his past acts.
If a majority of the Democratic party in seve
ral Northern States, are still unsubdued by free
soilism, and are making an effort to sistain the
constitution, why does not Mr. Toombs follow
the “true policy” which he recommends, and
sustain that party.” Instead of this, he is one
of the fathers of a sectional party, which is act
ing in opposition to the Democratic Partyboth
North and South, and which is acting with
Webster, Clay and Fillmore, who are the lead,
era and supporters of the very party which he
condemns as thoroughly sectionaiized and de
nationalized by the Free-soil element.
Out of his own mouth, his past and present
course is condemned.
Speaking of the anti-slavery and Free-soil
sentiment, Mr. Toombs says:
The Whig party has suecnrqhod to it, and it
-controls tho organization of the Union. It is
thoroughly denationalized and sectionaiized by
it, and will never make another National con
test. The Whig party at the South will never
meet the Sewards, and Winthrops, and Yintnns,
and Johnsons, and Baldwins, at the North, in
another Convention. We are indebted to the
defeat of the policy of these men for the exis
tence of the Government this day. We shall
trust them no more.
The Democratic party of tho North, though
prostrated, is not yet utterly destroyed by this
same cause. This free-soil element sways the
party triumphantly in Massachusetts, and, to a
very great extent, throughout New England.
It has annihilated it in New York, and controls
it in Ohio. But the majority of that party in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa are as yet unsubdued, and are still capable
of a mighty effort for the Constitution and the
Union.
Our true policy is, to compel both parties to
purge themselves of this dangerous element—if
either will, to sustain it—if neither will, then, if
we expect to preserve the country, we most
overthrow both, and rally the sound men of
j both parties to a common standard. This is
McDonald and South Carolina.
Tlie unfounded charges of Mr. Cobb and bis
friends, that McDonald is a disunionist, has de
ceived many honest Democrats and honest
Whigs, who, are really in favor of the Southern
States maintaining their equal rights in thfe
Union.
The charge that McDonald is a disunionist
U tnade by Mr. Cobb in his stump speeches,
And he attempts to sustain the charge by two
circumstances, viz:
1st That he was a member of the Nashville
Convention.
It is a sufficient answer to this to say, that
the State of Georgia by a unanimous tote of
the Legislature, sent Mr. McDonald to tho
Nashville Convention; in that Convention he
opposed Secession; tho very first resolution of
the Convention states the object of the Convex
tion to be the preservation of the Union; and
yet Mr. Cobh and his supporters have the har<
dihood to bring forward his connection with the
Nashville Convention as evidence that he is
disunionist!
A second charge is, that he is co-operating
with the Secessionists of South Carolina; that
he is urging South Carolina to secede, and that
he is trying to get into power to carry Georgia
out of the Union with South Carolina. The
evidence which they produce to justify this
charge is a speech that Mr. Rhett made, and
some toasts which were given in South Carolina.
They managed it so adroitly as to make some
of our best men believe it; and they were hon
estly opposing McDonald on the ground of this
charge,believing that he really was a disunionist.
But now, this last prop of a sinking cause is
removed, and the fraud and falsehood of the
charge is exposed by a letter from McDonald
to a committee of Charleston men who invited
him to attend the great meeting recently held
there. In that letter he advises South Carolina
not to secede; he says that Georgia has de
termined to abide by the past—that S. Carolina
cannot expect the co-operation of Georgia in
any measure of resistance against the past ac
tion of Congress, and that it is better to remain
a united people If we can have our rights ret*
pected and the Constitution faithfully adminis
tered.
Since the publication of this letter, many ft
Democrat and many a Whig have had their
eyes opened to the ft and anti deception which
had been practised on them by Mr. Cobb and
his Federal allies. They now spurn these trick
sters with Indignation, and are among the warm
est supporters of MrDonald, as the exponent of
Ihc Cntisllfufional rights of the Slates—the
Democratic and Southern Rights candidate.
Wc re-publish the conclusion of Mr. McDon
aid's loiter, from oor last week's paper, and ask
for it a candid ami Careful perusal.'
But I sincerely hope, that you will not fake the as
sertion of these unquest iofiuble propositions, as en
couragement to proceed to extreme measures, tose-
wvirij* kJiotbaofO. bete eoosidemi by
you and lb* ptopfo of your Stato generally. If
South Carolina retorts to aecetaioo and •*(*>»*«•
hcrseli from the Federal Government, she will be a
Foreign Government 10 all intent* and purposes.
She will be subject to all the policy adopted by our
Government in relation to fofreign Governments.—
The same duties collected oO foreign importations,
will he collected oh merchandize, edrtiing through
end from Carolina. Your greatand growing seaport
will be subjected to disadvantages that cannot now
be well estimated, and if your example of secession
should not be followed, it does rtdt require much
political sagacity io fbrsee the difficulties to which
ron will be subjected. I trust whatever you do may
followed by the good it is intended to produce.
I have ever been opposed Io any national policy
based on sectional considerations; but that policy
has been brought uport us, attd fc^outhern States, co-
equals with the rest in Uit confederacy are treated
la inferiors—their rights have been disregarded, and
new injuries are threatened against them. If these
are inflicted, the consequence* must be upon the
authors.
I have no doubt that whst you do will be done
upon doe deliberation, and upon the firm conviction
tbit it ts demanded by the occasion.
I have the honor to be.
With great respect,

It will lie recollected by all who have heard

he has no word of denunciation or warning
against the anti-Slavery machinations of the
non-slaveholding States, hut the whole burden
of his speeches consists of charges against his
own fellow-citizens, of treason to the Govern-

The eneniy is evidently hanF pressed. So

States; that there is no danger to our rights in
tho future, except from our own paracidal hands.
If Mr. Cobb is told by his fellow citizens that
they abide by the decision of Georgia, and will
not resist the past action of Congress—that
they want nothing more than a faithful admin
istration of the Constitution—that they are- not
dUunionists— that the real danger lies in the
North—that anti-slavery fanaticism has become
dangerous to our rights and the peace and sta
bility of ths Government; Mr. Cobb answers
by virtually charging them with falsehood—he
charges them with a secret and fraudulent pur
pose of dissolving the Union, and characterises
them aa traitors and disunionists.
We are gratified to have it in our power to
give Mr. Cobb one authority which he will not
now dare to dispute, and which virtually brands
his assertions with falsehood. Mr. Toombs, in
his letter of acceptance, says:
But, gentlemen, the greatest danger to the
Union is not in Georgia, is oot in the South.
The good sense, the firmness and patriotism of
the people of the South will shield tbe Uqion
against unwarranted assaults from our. own

expect, therefore the co-operation of Georgia, in
any measure of resistance, against the past meas

however, for the future, and declared what she will
do should the General Government continue its in

other Southern State would unite with you inseced

in other States who think with Carolina, that the
wrongs of the government are scarcely endurable,
are nnwilling to resort to so strong a measure of
resistance; I* it not a mattter well worthy to be

to defer to the opinions of her sister States, equally

Wm. Barnes; the two former will take charge of
the editorial department. Of Mr. Boughton i( is
only necessary to say, that for several years, he was
a co-editor of the Albany Patriot, and conducted it
with that marked ability which rendered it a popular
and useful journal. Mr. Nisbet is not without ex

not too much to say, that he will rank among the

most respectfully ask, if it is not better to remain 1
as we are, a united people ? I think so decidedly;
for all we want is a faithful administration of the
Constitution. It will give us all our rights. I con
fess that my fears are, that these hopes are without
solid foundation. But it is a matter that time must
decide, and the decision will soon be made. If made
against the constitutional rights of our people, we
shall be as one man, in any measure necessary tn
the safety and happiness of all having a common
interest.
I would ask if it would not be beat to base your
action upon tbe common public sentiment of the
aggrieved States. I assure you that the people are
properly appreciating the danger of tolerating pal
pable violations of the Constitution, sod unless they
can have their rights respected, they will take no
step backwards; their march will be onward, until
all their rights they are entitled to under the Con
