•SCISSION CANDIDATES TO THE STATE CONVENTION,
EIOHT) H. CLARK,
CHA’S E. MALLORY.
g@T* We are authorized to announce Hon. A. H.
COLQUITT and Col. A. D. HAMMOND, as the Se
cession candidates for the State Convention of the
county of Baker.
STATE MENTION,
The election for delegates to the State Con
vention which assembles at the Capitol on the
16th of January, 1860, will take place on
WEDNESDAY, the 2d of January, 1861.
Crowded Out.
We have on file several articles, among them the
proceedings of a co-operation meeting in Lc
ty, which we regret we have not roori for in to-days
paper. Maj. 0. Brtan and Dr. W. B. Richardson
were nominated candidates for the Convention of
the 16th. January, by the above meeting.
South Carolina.
The “nnble R«>mv»n” of the South has seceded
from the Union She will be followed by Georgia
and the other independent Southern States, contrary
to the will of lho6e who, for the sake of the Union,
are willing to seek farther oppression and a ’gres-
sion. We tlwnk God that we can claim no such
subinissionist among the people of oui section; we
thank God that the g^f'ous morning dawn of a
thrice happy, millenium has beamed upon the South,
and sivakened her faithful and patriotic, sons to a
sense of right, a hatred of oppression and an intense
yearning for resistance to further aggression and
dishonor. Let us be firm, and in this hour of trouble,
like Southern men, be united : then there will be no
necessity for “Watchmen” to tel! us of the dangers
of the night.
The Position of Judge Warron and Dr.
Barbour.
We cheerfully publish Judge Warren’s letter de
fining his position, as we would not intentionally
misrepresent him. We had intended not to attempt
to set out his position, but to leave it with those
who heard liis exposition on last Saturday. It was
not necessary for Judge Warren to allude to the
manner in which this paper has spoken of him, as a
reason for publishing his letter, as we think we can
prove by him that we have never refused those in
this coun y who might be opposed to our position, a
fair hearing whenever it was requested.
As the Judge, however, has attempted to set forth
his position, justice requires we should state it as
understood by a great many who heard him. We
have not heard any person assign him the position
he complains of having been assigned in his letter,
but have heard them state what he said during his
speech, after hearing which every man can make up
his own mind as to Judge Warren’s true posii
We were not present, but are credibly informed
by numerous persons who were there, that he took
these positions:
1st. That the election of Lincoln was not a cause
which would justify a dissolution of the U
2d. That as a member of the Convention in Jan
uary, he would not vote for the secession of Georgia.
3d. That if when that Convention assembles,
should be a fact that South Carolina. Alabama, Flo
rida and Mississippi had by that time seceded,
would not change Kis vote.
ith. That he would not vote for the secession of
Georgia, until he had first sought and obtained the
co-operation of the border States.
6th. That (to sum up) his position was this, that
if a member of the January Convention, he would
vote for a Convention of all the slavcholding States
to be held before any separate State action was
taUeo, and his policy in that general Southern Con
vention would be first to make a demand upon the
Northern States for our rights tn the Union, and se
condly, if we should fail to obtain them in the
Union, ho would then finally, if necessity required
it, vote even for the separate secession of Georgia.
lie also stated that he had written to a member of
Congress on the committee of 83, not to coerce
South Caroliua, hut to change the revenue laws sc
as to establish custom houses on all her State bor
ders.
It will be perceived that the effect of this would
be to perish her out, and to seriously injure the other
States by cutting oft' their inland communication
with Charleston and other parts of that State.
This spirit evinced by Judge Warren ought to sat
isfy the most projudiced that his position is wrong.
He also did not set out what 'he regarded the rights
of the South to be, beyond which ho would demand
the execution of the fugitive slave law and the
poal of the personal liberty bills. The man who
properly appreciates the existing state of affairs,
knows that compared to the great danger of the
abolition of slavery in the States, as the result of
submission, the wrongs named, become insignificant.
It is thus evident that Judge Warren is not a
proper person to represent a constituency who feel
that they endure wrongs which require an efficient
remedy. He cannot regard the evils as of the
magnitude that they do. His remedy is no remedy
whatever. It is experimenting on the disease, while
the patient is dying.
• Dr. Barbour, the candidate running with Judge
Warren, was present throughout the speech, and
timated no dissent therefrom, although there was
every opportunity to do so.
combines with the spirit of freedom, fortifies it and
renders it invincible-” —
The history of the past fully justifies Mr. Burke’s
opinion. In talents, in courage, in patriotism, whe
ther in council or in the field, the South may point
to a record which challenges the admiration of-the
world. She may be proud of the past. Will the
history of the present stigmatize and dishonor her
fair fame? Will-it prove that there -is no longer
here that high and stubborn attachment to liberty
to which Mr. Burke referred ? Will it prove what
has been so often repeited of us by our Northern
revilers, that we are ignorant, incapable, effeminate;
degraded and sehsualT'We doTiot believe it. There
is still spirit here; there is still manhood here,
will be asserted at the ballot-box. It will be main

he overawed by the noisy clamor or childish fears
of the timid and temporising here. The internal'
fires of the earth cannot be kept down by moun
tains; they will flame up; nor is there strength
enough in all the powers of earth to repress the in
dignant fires that burn in every Southern heart..
We have suffered injuries and endured wrongs
patiently. We have waited and put off the day of
redresss and retribution. We will wait no longer.
We will not lie down supinely under a sense of op
pression. Wc will not tamely kiss the rod that
smites us. We will not. like dumb brates, wear the
yoke'pf Abolition domination. If we have nature
in u*-£-if the blood which onoe animated our .fath
ers does not course through the veins of degenerate
sons, wc will raise the shout and the standard of
independence and sustain it forever.

The report of Dr. Thomas F. Green, the Very ef
ficient Superintendent and resident Physician of the
Lunatic Asylum, is highly flattering and shows, by
his regular system of management, that he is doing
Hood service for the cause of snffring humanity.
The service, which he renders the State, in bis offi
cial capacity, is worth,more.than double his present
alary. The report suggests that some suitable pro
vision be made for the pauper Idiots, which are
crowding the walls of the Asylum. By the lajst cen
sus, we are informed, that in Georgia there ire 442
Idiots and 400 Lunatics. The present building can
afford accommodations for 325 oatients, consequent
ly there are 517 patients in this State unprovided
for. There are at present 191 male and 156 female
patients in the Asylum; during the past year 20
have been discharged and 32 have died. The pres
ent building is ample and sufficiently large for the
accommodation of the number we have mentioned
and all its arrangements kept neat and conducted in
perfect order, and the Legislsture of Georgia de-
the highest praise for providing the means of
comfort and safety for that unfortunate class of out
fellow citizens whom God in his mysterious pr ivi

Dear Sir :—f luve now the pleasure of waiting
npon you with the enclosed iuvnice of razors, shipped
per screw steamer Kangaroo, from Liverpool for
vour port, which will be delivered to you by Messrs
II. Leondz. Co. These razors are manufactured of
the steel pro luced from the Etowah iron sent to roe
for that purpose, and the result of this trial cannot
but be gratifying to your friend, as the razors pro
duced therefro.i. are o fa very good quality, thus at
testing the superior quality of the steel which par
ticularly recommends itself for razors and spring
cutlery, und tools in general, by reason of its high
degree of malleability and elasticity, a combination
of properties which peculiarly adapts your steel for
the alwve named purposes.
I have yet to. add, that should you feel inclined to
favor me with orders for razors or other tools to be
produced from the same steel, a reduction of from
10 to 15 per cent, could be obtained for goods ot the
same quality as the present. Hoping soon to hear
Trom you in the way of orders,

IRON INTEREST OF GEORGIA.
OBITtfA WLW'a V:
not believe, “though one arose from the dead,
if we could obtain this great boon of Judge Warrens
of what value would it be. These laws would be
unconstitutional if passed and could not,!her fore,
be entorced. This is not a new question; it has
been decided by the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of Prigga vs. Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, 16 Peters539. “That Congress has
the exclusive power to legislate concerning the ex
tradition of fugitive slaves, and that all legislation on
that subject byjlie States was unconstitutional and
void.” This case was ably argued and solemnly
decided by the whole Court, and remains unshaken
to this day. Now I submit it !o a free people to say
whether they are satisfied to risk their rights in the
hands of Judge Warren or any one else who propose
to co-operate with the Black Republicans in legisla-
tiiig against the now settled decission of the Su
preme Court. Let us make up our minds to submit
to Lincoln rather than lake such a reckless and un

that “if any State of the Confederacy seceded from

freedom which characterized the colonies, thus

“-here is, however,” says he, “another circum<

ion, fully counterbalances this difference, and makes
tho spirit or liberty still more high and haughty

ginia and the Carol inns they have a vast multitude
of slaves. These people of the Southern eolonies
are much more strongly, and with » higher and
more stubborn spirit, attached to liberty than those
to the Northward. Such were all the anoient com
monwealths ; such wero our Gothic ancestors; such
in our days were the Poles; and such will be all
masters of slaves who are not slaves themselves.

FEDERAL RELATIONS—SECESSION—CO
OPERATION.
An apology to our readers is unnecessary for the
position we have taken in reuard to our Federal re
lations. The timo has arrived for action, and if Geor
gia does not take immediate steps for resistance, we
will soon fall into the iron grasp and merciless hands
of an Aboli ion governments government who have
declared eternal warfare against all our social and
domestic instilutiotis, and whose solemn fiat has
gone forth “that no more slave States shall enter the
Tnion,” nor will they stop at this, their plans are al-
eady arranged, their secret societies have been or
rani zed, their vigilant coinmitties appointed, and
they are now steadily marching oh with a deter
mined effort to overthrow the institution of slavery,
i* it now exists in the Southern States of this
Union. This is no fancy sketch or idle dream, the
proof is before us, we see the move and hear the
marching tread of the myrmidons of power, with
the midnight torch in one hand, the broad Da in a
blade in the other, and with a solemn and binding
oath pressing on their lips, bidding them march c
to tho destruction-of the fortunes of the Soul!
Who.is he, who claims himself a Union man in tr
ing times like these 7 The people of Georgia have
been annoyed, fretted and disturbed in their social
and political relations, by the meddlesome Abolition
traitors who infest the country in the form of binds
of robbers and assassins. Will the people of Geor
gia submit to an Abolition Government, with tiiese
facts before them 7 Better lead the life of an ape,
and wander among the jungles of a forest and sport
with reptiles as a living pastimP, than m°ekl\\ quiet
ly and cowardly submit to the administration of a
party whose sworn rule of action is deadly and
eternal hostility to the South. As a remedy for our
present grievances, we point the people of Georgia
to immediate, secession from a Un : on odious in all its
bearings, and from all connection with a people who
have proved themselves hostile to our peace, pros
perity and enjoyment. But we are told if we resist,
ill be cowlvded into submission—cowhide the
people of Georgi mto submission ! Such an idea
mly eminate fr» the wandering imagination of a
striding magician. No. there Is no fear to that end ;
the people of the South will never he called upon in
meet a cowardly army of Abolitionists. They k
too well the power and strength of the South i
to invade her premises. The bold, fearless and har
dy sons of ihe South, reared from their infancy to
become accustomed to the use and exercise of arms,
an army of over 2,000,000 men, who could
be marshalled at a moments warning for her de
fence, cannot be subdued by any power under the
broad canopy ol heaven. But the necessity to which
alluded will not soon arrive; immediate, seres-
i can prevent it, and secure to us ail our rights
in a Southern Confederacy. In such a government,
will require no standing army for our defence;
the cotton hag will be the cannon in the hands of the
people of the South; by it, neither powder nor lead
will be required to slay millions within its reach ;
bv it, the poor of the North, and the working class of
II civilized Europe are fed and clothed, and with it
the South are e.b!eto conquer the combined powers
of the world and not a gun be fired. With this ad
vantage and with a country capable of furnishing all
essaries of life, why should we dally in de
claring for ourselves a second declaration of inde-
pendence,and with it immediate secession from the
Abolition States of the Union: our condition would
be better, safer and more prosperous than it
ever can be in the present Union, and while we
regard co-operation and united council esssntial to
success, yet this co-operation should come in its
natural order after secession ; then the united
dom of the Southern States may establish a ground
work on which to build a scheme of measures, by
wbice we will be made grand and glorious as a na
tion, and secure to us and our posterity a triumph of
honor aud prosperity in all time to come.

unbounded resources, which nature with lavish hand
has wiselv bestowed upon her. No State in this Re
public possesses the great internal advantages that
Georgia does, and no State in the Union is more
laggard in the development of their natural advan
tages than she is. The iron interest to which we
particularly desire to direct public attention, was
ommenced a few years since under unfavorable
ireuinstances by the lion. Mark A. Cooper, and
through trials, struggles and repeated embarrass
ments ha* thus far, by bis indomitable energy and
State pride succeeded in laying the foundation and
nperstructureon which to build for his native State
a reputation for greatness, which has reached far
beyond public anticipation. From his pecuniary
emliarrassments during these pressing times, and
at the solicitation of friends who have an eye to the
interest of Georgia, he has been induced to file his
application before the Legislature, to obtain the as
sislance of tho State by lands in lha sum of tw<
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and to secure the
payment of the same he pledges an amount of
and personal property, valued at from three to five
hundred thousand dollars. This property,in t
event of failure by the company, would be w.orib
^he State a million ofdo'lars. There is r.o branch
of mining more profitable, none more desirable than
the manufacture of iron and copper at the present
day. The “Etowah Iron Works” should command
the admiration of all Who feel an interest in tin*
commercial independence and greatness of our
State. The great author of our bring has wi.-ely
placed beneatu our soil and within our grasp iin*x-
h.iustible minus of iron, copper, Sic., which invite
the industry ol the State and defies successful ■com'
petition by all other sections Surely, then, a Geogia
Legislature ought not hesitate to encourage an enter
prise which is considered indispensable in ihe pres
ent juncture of our political and commercial affairs.
A Railroad has been cons’ructed from the iron
•rksto “Etowah Depot,” on the Western and At
lantic. Railroad, a distance nf four miles, by which
the manufactured i.rticles and other freight!
conveyed to and from the Depot, thus paying to the
State of Georgia in freights alone the annual sum
of twenty-five thousand dollars.

Albany, Ga., Dec. 24th, 1800.
Mr. Editor:—On Saturday la
dress to my fellow citizens, and
questions by many gentlemen, I i
in my positions on all the questions involved
present crisis, and after fully answering, without
hesitation or prompting by those behind and around me,
enquired if any one else desired to make further en
quiry, assuring all that I stood ready to make full
answer to all questions that might bo asked; aud
to-day I am informed that it is staled on the street
that 1 said I was for co-operation with other States,
and that if they would not act, then L was for Geor
gia subini ting. How any one who heard me, with
out a fixed purpose to misrepresent ine and falsify the
truth, could have made such a statement. 1 cannot
account; for 1 distinctly stated that the Convention
ought to set forth her position and ask her sister
Slates, who have like rights, interests and honor to
maintain, to join her in consultation and action, and
if the States consulted did not come to the position
of Georgia, or such other as would fully maintain
her rights, her interests and her honor, or if the
free States did not yield us all our rights, then I was
for secession by Georgia alone. If this is **Submis
sion or Slavery," then I would like to see a freeman,
er a resistance man.
In your last- issue, you treated mo as the Submis
sion candidate, which induces me to ask an inser
tion of this statement.
Yours, respectfully,

Worth Nomination Meeting.
In persuance to previous notice, a large and re
spectable assemblage of the citizens of Worth coun
ty met at the Court House, in Isabella, to nominate
delegates to the Georgia Convention, at which time
Newel Thornhill presided, and J. M. C. Holomnn
acted as Secretary. The meeting then being or
ganised, John W. Rouse, Esq., made a motion which
was seconded, that the Chair appoint one man from
each militia district to draft resolutions for the con
sideration of the meeting. The Chair proceeded to
appoint the following gentlemen, viz:—William L.
Hunt, Esq., Joseph Sumner, Sr., E. Barber, W. W.
Poulan, R. G. Ford, Sr., D. McLelland, J. J. Willis,
D. H. Pope, Esq., and J. M. Rouse, Esq.
The committee retired a short time, after which
they reported the following resolutions:
1st. That the resolutions herein set forth be and
they are hereby considered the platform of our del
egates to represent us in the Convention to assem
ble in Milledgeville on the 16th of January
2nd. That we regard the Black Republican party
of tho North as antagonistical to Southern interest,
hostile in character, subversive and revolutionary
its effects.
3rd. That wc regard the election of Abraham
Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin to the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States, by a
truly sectional party, a just cause for secession tpsc
facto; and whereas we arc, and of right ought to
be, a free and independent people, having the same
interest and desiring the same fate.
4th. That we ignore all party and party affiliat
that have existed heretofore, and unite under the
proud banner of Southern independence, our motto
being “Liberty or Death.”
The resolutions being read by the Secretary,
motion of Dr. T. T. Monger, the resolutions w-
each one taken up seperately and passed unanimous
ly-
On motion of J. W. Rouse, Esq , the meeting pro
ceeded to ballot for delegates, the following names
being proposed as candidates, viz:—W. A. Harris,
Esq., Dr. T. T. Monger, E. Barber, J. M. Rouse, J.

The meeting then proceeded to ballot for delegates.
No two receiving a two-third majority, the meeting
proceeded to a second balloting, after having with
drawn all the names but six. By the result it was
found that no two had yet received a two-third ma
jority.
Harmony and unanimity had prevailed tlirough-
it the meeting up to the present, when Dr. Monger
offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that
ir delegates be instructed to vote in the Oonven-
jn for immediate and unqualified secession.
The yeas and nays being taken, the resolution
as lost. After n few remarks from Dr. Monger,
W« Rouse and D. H. Pope, Esq’rs., a difference
of opinion arose as to the construction of the first
resolution. After which Dr. Monger and J. W.
Rouse, Esq., with other srentlcmcn favorable to the
lost resolution, withdrew from t ® meeting. Where
upon U. G. Fort!, Sr., moved that the meeting be
adjourned, and tlmt the longest pole knock down

tion of Judge 11. F. Fortner, ihe meeting proceeded
to nominate A. M. Guldens and E. Barber by accla
mation, they being the two highest on the second
ballot. The meeting then ndiourned.

INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB.
This institution, situated at Cave Spring, Ga.,
under the charitable care of the State, is now, we
learn from the report before us, enjoying a high de
gree of prosperity. For years past it has slowly
moved on, overcoming every obstacle mod embarras-
ment, until at last we are pleased to find it on a good
and solid basis. The exercise of the popils at the
Capitol,a short time since, was highly gratifying to
the audience and encouraging to those who have
thus far interested themselves in its behalf. At
present there are 33 males and 25 female pupil# in
the institution, and il is desirable that every “mate 1
in the State, who n*y desire the benefits ofaneda-
cation, should at once bo Bent to the institution.
The late act of the Legislature requires the Justices
from the tests wc have given it, that it compares fa
vorably with the be.-t brands of Norway iron.
The barrels, cylinder, cones and lock-work of all
3n arms are made of a peculiar quality of steel,
that being the onlv metal which we consider perfect
ly reliable. But from the toughness of your iron,
its freedom from scoria, the ease and facility with
which it can be welded ana worked, and the high
finish of which it is susceptible, we see no reason
why it may not be used ia the manufacture of any ol
the parts of our arms which are made of iron.
We should be pleased to give your imn a farther
trial oo a large scale, provided you could send us
at once fur the purpose, say 5 bars, each of the follow
ing sizes, v»*: 21 x H, * * |, *x f, 1 1-16 square,
and 1 3-16 square.
Please state your pr ce per gross ton for large
quantities, delivered here, or in New York.

power to make “a treaty or alliance” with any Slate,
“or any agreement or compact with any State or for

Constitution proposed by Hon. J. J. Crittenden,
Kentucky, AND EACH AND ALL OF THEM
WERE 'VOTED AGAINST UNANIMOUSLY
BY THE BLACK REPUBLICAN MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE.
Ju addition to these facts, a majority of the Black
Republican members of the Committee declared
DISTINCTLY THAT THEY HAD NO GUARANTEES TO OF

members.
The Black Republican members of this Commit
tee ol thirteen are representative men of their party
and section, and, tn the extent of my information,
truly represent the Committee of Thirty-Three in
the House, which on Tuesday adjourned for a week
without coming to’any vote, after solemnly pledging
themselves to vote ou all the propositions then belore
them on that date.
That Comm Uee is controlled by Black Republi

with delusive hope until vour election, in ordeT that
you may defeat the friends of secession. If you are
deceived by them it shall not be my fault. 1 have
put the test fairly and fraukly. It is decisive against
youand now I tell you upon he faith of ^ true

ought to bo instantly abandoned. It is fraught with
nothing hut rein to yourselves and your posterity.
Secession by the 4th of March next should be
thundered from the ballot box by the unauimous
voice of Georgia on the second day of January next.
Such a voice will be your best guarantee for libeu-

A Voice from Lincoln.
Washington, Dec. 23, 1860.
I send yon the annexed article taken from the
New York Tribune of the 22d inst. I am satisfied
it is by authority and probably in the very words of
Mr. Lincoln: “We are enabled to state in the most
positive terms that M r. Lincoln is utterly opposed
to any concession or compromise that sliou d yield
one iota of the position occupied by the Republican
party on the subject of slavery in the territories,
and that he now stands as he stood in May last when
he accepted the itomination for the Presidency,
square upon the Chicago Platform.”
