Sixth District.
The Democratic Convention which
met at Gainesville last week, nomina
ted Judge Jackson as a candidate for
re-election in this District. We learn
no opposition in the Con-
that four counties were not
represented at all—and that there
was but one delegate from Gwin
nett.
What will the anti-negro-schooling
Democrats of titfDistrict now do ?~
Will they bring out a man to beat
the Judge, or will they • ingloriously
back down ?
, If the opposition to Judge Jack-
son’s re-election can be concentrated
upon one man, he will be triumphant
ly elected.
The people do not approve the
Judge’s course ih Congress. If, how
ever, he has no opposition, he will, of

So for as we are individually con-
come I, wc shall acquiesce in the do
ings -of the Convention, if they hap
pen to meet our approbation; and if
not, we shall oppose them “to the bit

As our “bailiwick” is not repre
sented, we shall not feci hound by
the action of the body which may as-,
semble in Macon.
From the first inception of the
American party in this State, it has
been governed and directed by evil
counsels. If its bitterest enemies
had had the control of affairs, they
would not have done more to destroy
its usefulness than its professed
friends have done, through mistaken,
though doubtless honest zeal, to serve
the country.
We say this “more in sorrow than
m anger’’—not for the purpose of
stirring up strife, but to put our
friends on their guard in the future.
We sincerely, regret the unfortu
nate blunder which has been made,
and trust that in future shell mis
takes will be avoided.

who will devote some portion of liis
time to these homely interests, rather
with snow at this time; and now I
will tell you something about tlic
mines.. We avent the City of Den
ver, four of us, and the others have
gone up in the mountains prospecting.
We have a great deal of discourage
ment about tbe mines, and those thou
sands of men that have been here and
returned home. The gold-hunters
are leaving here every day; for home,
by companies, while others are going
through to California. A good de
cline of S. J. Parrish and Harvey
Fraser; tell the gentlemen that I
§ay it was the best thing they ever
did, when they declined the idea of
coming here, and may God help their
families to rejoioe over, the declara
tion their husbands made when they
declined coming to. tliis place, for it
is really 'disheartening. A great
many old Californians have been
prospecting here, and they say it is
the greatest humbug they, have ever
known.
Dear btother and friends, I am un
able to say, at present, how we will
proceed, until we prospect for our-
selves; we have a plenty of pro vis
ions to last us four months. Mexi
can flour is selling for 15 dollars per
hundred; they have a market house
here, and they keep beef meat at 12J
cents perdb. and bear meat at 25
cents, and alhither kinds of wild meat,
at various prices.
I will here try to relate a horrible
circumstance which happened between
three brothers, and a stanger. They
were on their way to the Rocky moun
tains, and they got out of provisions,
left the road, got lost and were upon
the ppint of starvation, when the
three brothers killed the stranger and
ate him, to sustain life; and when
they had eaterf him up, two of the
brothers killed their own dear belov
ed brother and ato him; and they
did not stop at that, one of tie two
brothers, killed his last brother and
ate him; add then the Indians found
the last one unable to walk—they

American Citizenship la 1852. -
There is a somewhat marked dif
ference, says the New Orleans Cres
cent, between, the cowardly and im
politic course pursued : by the Ad
ministration of Buchanan in this
question which involves the naturaliz
ed citizens, and the manly position
asserted by that of Millard FiUmora- -v
in a similar emergency: Edward^
Everett was then Secretary of "State,
capacity^ our readers will allow,
which afforded him a much better op
portunity of acquiring creditable re
nown than as a contributor, to the
columns*presidcd over by a Bonner.
The jnse of military impressment
which then turned up and afforded
Mr. Everett and his confreres of the
administration a chance of showing
that they knew the rights of citizens
and “knowing dared maintain them,”
was that ofa resident of New Orleans,
a naturalized citizen, a Frenchman
by birth arid AUihert by name, who
was actully drawn in the conscription
of 1889, but left France without
serving, and coming *to the United
States was naturalized, settling in
New Orleans, where- he accumulated
means.
In 1852 Mr. Allibert revisited
France.and had not been twenty-four
hours in his native place when he was
seized by the agents of the police as
an escaped conscript. He at once
appealed to Mr, Hodge, the Ameri
can Consul at Marseilles, and plead
ed his rights as an American citizen.
The question referred to tho proper
tribunal, and Mr. Allibert, wished to
avoid trouble, offered to -pay a sub
stitute and thus purclusc his liberty •
but the high-minded and enlightened
gentleman who fortunately was Con
sul, ' peremptorily refused to allow
him to do so, asserted His exemption,
as, an American citizen, from all such
liabilities, and the case was referred
to the Secretary of War; who in due
time returned an order commanding
the release of Mr. Allibert. who sifrer-
wards traveled all througbi Farite and
eventually returned to the ”

Slavery has no proper connection

This is undoubtedly due to the firm
and decided stand maintained tlirough-.
out the long controversy in your of
ficial correspondence with the au
thorities on the subject.
It is muqh to be desired that the
case may be considered As a prece- fathe _ ,,
dent, as you intimate, and that here- tather 8 ” od y
after, naturalized citizens of the Upit- S!> v ‘
ed States may visit France without
danger of arrest for military service.
In this event* a Uiirtful source of irrita
tion and unfriendly feeling will he
avoided.
.Mr. Everett thought that it was
“much to be desired that the case
may be considered as a precedent*”
but his feeble successor has allowed
no weight to the official precedent
which is of record among the govern
mental archives, preferring to chalk
out a new and independently errone.-
ous and disgraceful iipti of policy for
his own glory and. renown. And
renown lie has, hut,it. is of a' charac
ter so questionable that we expect
that by .this time |ljP venerable Se
cretary would be quite willing to dis
pose of it to any ambitious party
who would .be willing to take it off
liis bauds. His successive epistles,
and those of the advocates, whom he
endorses, on the subject, show a con
tinually progressive retrograde move

of thd money would go to Massachu

me that Hartford does not lie in

a contention, fraught with so much
peril to the existence of the Union
itself, 11s well as threatening danger
ous reactionary consequences to the
parties and interests concerned in if,
whether at tlic North or the South;
should cease, and give place to the
calm consideration of other and more
legitimate and urgent questions, on
which the political freedom and
happiness of the whole country
depend. These vital,.national ques

happy issue only by the cordial co
operation of patriotic men in every

operation hopeless; as all must Bee,
