ient to consider them together; lie was so na
tional, so American and so patriotic, he would
not, as Maj. l toneisoii has shown you, tm-t a for
eigner as’ a stockholder or a director in the Hank
of the United State-. While those *.vh > pretend
to be li is followers, wound the national linn.*r,hum
iliate the national pride and endaiig.*r tie* p i'-
lie safety, by appointing foioigners to represent
us in foreign count lies, and eiiiploving a ntajoti
ty of foreigners to transact the husuie-s ot the
Government at home, in the several I tepart lifeiits
at Washington. Wiiv is this,- aiiv friends l
Why is it so? Do our people wan’ capacity’
for sell-government ? Then tin- long agony is
over—this Republic, with all its g!oi.i>>u- past, its
present greatness, ami its future hopes, must end.
Our Revolution was. the riot of madmen —our
Declaration ot Independence a mockery ot Iree
(lom—ourliistory a fable, and our liherty a vi
*ion. No my friends no! I thank my (led it
is so. What ever man cnudnoti fhiseatth,
can be done as well by Americans. The follow
ers of Luther brought both civil and religious li
berty to America. They brought the Bible,
Magnacbarta, the common law of England, the;
trial by jury, and the elements of civilization and
Christianity. On these foundations we placed
our trust. We have solved the ptoMem that
man is capable of self-governnidiit, and we will
soon show to the world that Americans shall rule
America. But why is the public patronage giv
en to foreigners ? I will not here attempt to an
swer the question. I fear “there is something
rotten in the State of Denmark.” But I did not
come here to abuse tbo President of the United
States, or to abuse any one else. I came .more
>n sorrow than in anger, and I could weep over
Ike humility of my country.
The support of the constitution and the defence
of the Union, are two of the highest duties im
posed by our creed, on the members of our or
der. They are the highest duties of evfy A'ttt-

This was the maxim of Getieial Jaeksoti, it;
is the maxim of the American party. But it is 1
not the maxim. 1 assure you it is not. my frieti Is, j
of the party calling itself Democratic. That par- j

Cooper, in. 1 that Mark A. Cooper received the
j mi no:. i. in tin* opinion of every man who snows
! these gentlemen, too contemptible to be for a mo

indeed ! The change “ was made in pxusnanee
with an understanding effected more than twelve
in uitliA ago.” Does that make it right I Bit was
!ii*t mid proper that such change fiiovt.n be made
i'i„ Maj (k-.p, r*s freights, why was he baffled oat

Why was ho kept out of Ii s riglits until be had

,f \|;,j Cooper, up to the time lie was distinctly

In relation to Cowarts appointment the Federal

Johnson It was created by Coy. Cobb: Cor.
Johnson found it in existence, and continued it at
li -s expense to ilni road than was incurred by itis
predecessor. 1 *
[t was a question, a good while, with the lead
ers ol* the I ‘< moeraey, whether they would under
take to tote ‘ Cowart and his appointment, thro”
the present- campaign or not. Many contended
that be and bis appointment would defeat any
candidate for the executive chair. ‘T'tiat the par
ty emild not justify (iov. Johnson in makinu such
in office, and tilling it with such a man. There
are vet many prominent supporters of Johnson,
who positively refuse to shoulder Cowart — say
they cannot and vyiil not carry him through the
contest. Vet the Federal I nion. the Governor's
Jo.me organ, t ikes the huge loud upon its back,
with a resolution that would be commendable in a
better cause. A few words about what the Union
says of his appointment, and we are done.
When <iip. Cobh came into office, everybody
r ‘members that. the. Mate Uo <1 was in a most de-
plorable condition'. ’That there were numerous
: claims of ail kind* against it. That the Road
was to l.e rebuilt and |ip|>ed at once, which
would reutiirc (he immediate-end constant person*
al attention if the Superintendent, leaving him
no-time to investigate the multitude of claims that
were pressing lor adjustment. In this state of
nffairs.Gov. Cobb appointed Col. Samuel Farris,
of Walker county, a* Commissioner to examine in
to a certain class of claims. Col Karris faithfully
executed the tru*t confided to him, and made his
report to (lov. Cohh and the Superintendent, long
before Cobh went out of office; and with his re
port, tt was understood nt the time ended his ser
vices and salary as commissioner. When Got.
Johnson rami’ into office, he found the State Road
almost rebuilt, from one end-to the other—incom
plete condition, and amply equipped with engiOM
and everything else necessary. All the ofclHtig*-
ted claims either paid nr examined and reported
by ( ol Farris, who had finished his business and
gone home.
(iov. Johnson found no such office in existence
ins the one Cowart fiohls! Nor was there any ne
ci—nity for any Mich office. If there ever was a
necessity. it bad ] a-sed long before Gov. Johnson
was inaugurated.
There is no ipiostion ti nt the office ws mapk
expressly for Cowart, and the organ at Milledge
viile cannot deny it by the subterfuge that John
■ son found such on office. —Atlanta f)isciptine.
