Christy: Dear Sir: Yes terday the Democrats held a regular Know-Nothing meeting, (only wanting Sam’s presence,) in this place. They was composed of about an equal num ber of (<M use to was) Whigs and De mocrats; and it is a little remarkable that the words Whig or Democrat should accur so seldom, in the whole preamble and Resolutions passed by that Convention ; and then they mani- fest a spirit which showed their desire to bury them forever. But turn over to the “ moddle,” which is thought by the Governor to be a pat reply, Demo- cracy is his burden and theme. It either begins, or ends nearly every period. The name, he says, should be dear to every American. The name is musical. And upon a name, not prin&i pie, the Governor expects to ride into Congress. Now, from these brief statements, I infer that this “ model” was intended for the people of the Sixth Concession- d th* Americmr Party of 6? District.

Mr. Editor : There are so many funny things going on in this county, that I can scarcely keep from relating a few of the richest ones, but I want to talk a little about the late “ model” letter of Mr. Cobb to thc Columbus Conven tion. I will be excused for not using the term “ Excellency,” as I don’t usually take, that trouble in speaking of any body, for although he may have held an office, it is no more than others might have done, perhaps, if they had desired ; and 1 think man is only man, however many offices he may have held. All things considered, this “ model” is somewhat of a remarkable document, When we remember the circumstances under which, and the persons to whom, this letter, this wonderful production, this “ knock down argument,” was written arid directed, it cannot fail to excite some interest and amusement. Now, the Governor, as you remark ed in your issue of the 14th ult. (and as many had remarked perhaps before you) was one out of perhaps, five hun dred to whom these circulars were ad dressed. Who these others were, their answers do not inform us ; nor do I suppose they will, as the G£ernor has taken it upon himself, individually, in behalf of the citizens of Georgia, to write out and publish a general reply. He has laid down the “ flatform” upon which we must all stand. He has, by solemn “ Bull,” declared that we must be “*>ue people, and one party.” But we must all be Democrats. Now, I have never thought, that any reply was expected, or at all necessary to these circulars. But, if the Govern or was disposed to reply at all, why not as you, or I would have dune) send them a private letter ? Because, tlje Governor may say, (as no doubt he will,) it was necessary that they should all see my letter, and hear my opinions that they might “ govern themselves ac cordingly.” (I would suggest to the Governor the propriety of waiting till the question comes up in order—that is, til! he is asked for an opinion—for, from the spirit manifested, by these Colum bus gentlemen, I don’t think this obiter dictum will bind them.) But suppose that it was necessary, as the Goveruor says, that they should all see this letter. Then, he should have advertised in the Times or Euquirer, instead of his Banner. How many more of the Com mittee, or Convention, will be likely to see it in the Banner than if it had been sent down privately? The Governor may have a partiality for the Banner, because it is published in Athens, but he should remember, that when it gets over about Columbus, h is not thought to be very great “ punkins.’ ’ 1 appre hend there are not half a dozen copies of that paper, sent to the county of Muscogee. (No disparagement to that paper, or proprietors.) Then, the Governor could not have intended his “model” solely, or mainly, for that Committee. Well, it is clear, that if he had intended it for the masses in the State, he would hare published in the ‘Constitutionalist,’ which is I believe the acknowledged favorite of the Demoera- cy, and having much the largest circu Iation of any Democratic paper in the State. Another “ queer pint” about the model is that about half the words iu ns it begin with “ D.” According to my reoplleption, the Columbus Convention there has been a large Democratic majarity, and it was to puff these peo ple that this uncalled for moddle, with each sentence headed and tailed « De mocrat," has been circulated through all the principal -streets of Athens in stead of Columbus. Else, I say, why advertise in the Banner, the circulation of which is confined to the corporation of Athens, with the exceptation of a few stray copies, that find their way out here among the hills, where we never "saw any other newspaper, and where we believe that, at the world's Fair.it would take the premium from the presses of all nations. Governor, the people of these dig- gins are getting tired of these “ open and shut” games. They remember the appeals of 1850 and ’51, when you wanted to be Governor, and wherein you succeeded. They remember with what zeal, vehemence and eloquence you called on the voters—nbt of the Sixth, but—ofthe State, to “ lay aside names —think no more of “ Whig,” or Demo crat-come, and fight under ihe Union banner, for your country ! (but special ly for me.”) We took your advice—we made you Governor. What do we hear next ? In 1853, when your term of office was about to expire; when you did not desire a re-election, or feared you could’nt get it; you say those Whigs who put you in office were clever men, but you hai no immediate use for their services.— Therefor a, you thunder from Milletfge- ville to your Sentinels and Staff, to re organize the Democratic party. And just along here it seems that we hear the voice of. one Hopkins Holsey, well known for his political sagacity, warn ing the people that the Slavery question was not settled—and that there would be another call for their troops in less than five years. The Governor said the Slavery question was forever .- ettled, and there would never be any more use for the Union party. The Col. goaded him so furiously, that the Governor, (being flush with cash, and having an extensive credit with their Honors, Jackson and Ilillver,) spiked the Col’s cannon with silver, by buying out his press. Now the reason for all this is rather too plain. The world, I know, is fond of humbuggery, but I think it “sticks out,” in spots, since 1850 tco prominent.— The Governor, thought in 1853, that he would try for U. S. Senator accord ing to the “ bargain” between him and Herschel V. Johnson. But lest one Charlie McDonald should run over him, rather rough shod, iu a Milledge ville caucus, he thought it best to drill his boys up in the Sixth, for, as a last resort, he could at least go up and re present them in Congress. He takes a little snuff at Milledgeville upon the subject, and you could hear the little fellows sneeze all about over the Sixth. In 1855, the trouble gets up with the Governor again. He frankly confesses, that in 1853, Holsey was right—lhat there is a demand for that same party, which Holsey tried to keep organized, but it must be of a different name.— It must be called Democratic. He wants to represent the Sixth, and he is a little^ fearful to give up that name, lest ho might not stand head next time. Con sequently runs atilt of “ Sam,” a new comer since 1850 and 1853. He says Stephens may call it what he pleases, Abolition Scheme, or “ what not x ” but for my own safety, I call it Whig trick. Nothing else will suit the boys in, the Sixth. Governor, it’s too late to say “ Whig, trick,” Mr, Stephens’ expected wonder has settled that question, and he upend ed his decision upon that question, like all others therein decided, to be bind ing all over Georgia. Up to the appear* anoe of ilat letter “ Whig trick,” Whiggcry in disguise’ was the go up here with every opposer of Sam, (as yoq know there are- nothing
